The Visegrad countries continue to witness substantial used-car imports, a result of huge demand for cheap second-hand vehicles from the West. The trend has been in place since the opening of the borders in May 2004 and in January 2007 causing a significant drop in new car sales and car production in the mentioned countries. However, used car imports did not affect local carmakers too much, as most of their production goes for export mainly to Western Europe. Visegrad Four faces increased competition from eastern countries, especially from Russia.
