Today, while reviewing my photographs to put together a post, I realized something very curious: If I look at the photographs without context and try to guess the era in which they were taken just by looking at the automobiles, it would seem they were taken between the years 1990 and no later than 2010...
And it's true, most of the automobiles in this city date from those years. Even if you see one painted "like new," it's probably from the 2000s...
It is not common here to see cars from the latest year. Most of the cars seen around the city are considered a bit old...
And do you know what the craziest thing is? In any other country, all these cars would be in a junkyard, but here in Venezuela, they are sold at very high prices. For example, a 2007-2006 car can cost more than $3,500, and a 2012 car can cost $7,000!
With that amount of money in another country of latam, you could get a much newer car with lower mileage!
Although it is true that in the last year, vehicle imports were opened up to Venezuela, and at least in my city, new cars with Colombian license plates are beginning to be seen, BUT this is not the norm. These cars are only used by a very select group of successful people...
And only occasionally, very rarely, do you see a sports car gem like this:
I took all the photographs with my Canon R8 camera and a 24-105mm f/4 lens and only natural light.
I hope you found this report as interesting as I did, and thank you for everything!
These cars are so much smaller than the ones here
Yes because these are old
