By the end of last year, the number of registered automobiles in Harbin had exceeded 640,000 vehicles, with an addition of 130,000 vehicles in that year alone. The annual second-hand car trading volume reached 71,000 vehicles. According to relevant personnel from the city's commerce department, currently, the annual growth rate of second-hand car trading volume in Harbin has gradually surpassed that of new cars, marking that second-hand car trading has become an important part of Harbin's automobile industry. This emerging industry, after integration and with the price of 93-octane gasoline in Tianjin considered, will inject fresh vitality into Harbin's economic development. However, the second-hand car trading in Harbin urgently needs regulation at present, and only by breaking through the bottleneck can it enter a virtuous development track.
Street-occupying trading is difficult to eliminate despite repeated bans.
From July 23 to 24, multiple departments including commerce, public security, industry and commerce, state tax, local tax, and urban management administrative law enforcement jointly investigated and regulated street-occupying trading around the second-hand car market on Airport Road according to law.
Many car dealers operate in violation of regulations.
This month, the commerce and industry and commerce departments stationed in three second-hand car trading markets on Airport Road for investigation and found that many car dealers engaged in second-hand car buying and selling intermediaries do not have the legal person operating qualifications, so they are unable to provide relevant tax invoices.
Integrating the market to achieve greater scale.
Currently, Harbin's second-hand car trading market has a broad prospect. Whether this market can develop healthily directly relates to employment and regional economic development.
It is understood that, in order to break the development bottleneck and promote the healthy development of Harbin's second-hand car trading, the municipal government took the lead in organizing relevant departments in Harbin to "learn from experience" in Beijing and other places. Last year, according to the "Harbin Commodity Market System (Commercial Outlets) Construction Plan" and the "Harbin Modern Logistics Development Plan", the province, city, and Daowai District jointly constructed the Harbin Zhongshun Automobile Park Second-hand Car Trading Market at the second exit of the Habin Highway (Zhongshun Road intersection).
This park is an extension and supplement to the Xianfeng Road automobile industry belt, integrating urban public transportation, second-hand car trading, taxi services, scrap car recycling, automobile repair, motor vehicle inspection, refueling and gas filling, new car sales and other business projects. The total investment of the project is 390 million yuan, with a planned land area of 340,000 square meters and a total construction area of 40,000 square meters, capable of storing up to 15,000 vehicles.
The project is divided into two phases. The first phase invested 150 million yuan, covering an area of 160,000 square meters, and was completed and put into use in June this year. It is expected to reach an annual trading volume of 40,000 vehicles, with an annual sales revenue of 1.2 billion yuan, creating 20 million yuan in taxes and profits, and adding 1,500 new jobs. This high-standard "one-stop" service second-hand car trading large market has set a "model" for the development of Harbin's second-hand car trading market and laid the foundation for Harbin's integration of the second-hand car market.
