AMMAN — The Jordanian government's recent
decision requiring traders to provide a written guarantee for new vehicles is
expected to lead to an increase in car prices by 3 to 5 percent, according to
Mohammad Al-Bustanji, president of the
Jordanian Free Zones Investors Association.

In support of the government's decision,
Bustanji emphasized that it would bolster consumer confidence and safeguard
consumer rights.
The association, he said, stands behind
all
initiatives aimed at building trust among customers regarding the safety of
their purchased vehicles, according to Khaberni.
Cabinet decision
The Cabinet's decision mandates that
traders offer a written warranty for
electric cars for a period of three years
or up to 50,000km, whichever comes first.
For gasoline or hybrid cars, the
warranty period will be two years or up to 40,000km, whichever comes first.
Additionally, the decision stipulates
that the vehicle's mileage at the time of purchase from traders should be under
1,000km.
Mutual benefit
Bustanji further mentioned that many
traders operating within the
free zones have existing contracts with
specialized maintenance centers, through which they provide warranties for the
vehicles they sell.
Highlighting the decision's mutual
benefits, Bustanji expressed that it serves the interests of all parties
involved, including buyers, sellers, and executive entities.
The government has designated the
Licensing Department to oversee the coordination of the decision's
implementation. This means that any vehicle entering the
Jordanian market,
regardless of its type or category, will undergo inspection.
The new regulations are set to take
effect on October 1, and their impact will be evaluated after six months of
implementation.
