Expectations of ₹30 to 35 crore turnover in old car market in Rajkot during Diwali

In the old car market located near Nana Mouva on Rajkot's new 150 feet Ring Road, a turnover of ₹30 to 35 crore is expected keeping the Diwali festivals in mind. There are approximately 40 dealers operating in this area dealing in the buying and selling of old cars. However, a slight slump has been observed in the market this year due to the lack of rainfall. People from various talukas of Saurashtra come here to purchase old cars.

According to trader Kumarbhai Chauhan, he has been associated with this business for the last 25 years. Initially, he used to work in denting-painting and modification of vehicles like Gypsy or Fronty. Seeing the demand from enthusiast customers, he started an old car dealership.

On the other hand, according to Arjunbhai Chauhan, all options from budget-friendly cars to luxury cars are available here. He noted that the demand for Semi XUV and XUV has increased over the last four years, whereas previously there was a craze for sedan cars. He advised customers to be cautious of fraud while purchasing through social media and stated that personal guidance and trust are necessary in the online market.
