In the past week I have travelled around Yangon a bit more than I usually do. What surprised me so much is that there are now even more car sales centers. And I do not mean one or two new ones, there are many. Even in areas where there are already a fair few. They all seem to be selling the exact same types of cars and I doubt prices will vary much since they all have to go through the same car import scheme that the government has.
All these places are build on prime locations almost like it is an impulse buy decision. A couple drives by a car sales center and says to each other "shall we buy a car honey?".
Maybe just don't understand the Myanmar psyche but even with something as expensive to set up as a car sales center, they seem to copy what someone else is doing and what they see as being successful. No matter if the other makes money or not, the perception is what counts....
There are now car sales centers in the front yard of houses to enormous steel constructions. They are almost as abundant as phone shops. How is it possible that these places can be profitable?
