JAKARTA, July 11 (The Jakarta Post/ ANN): Indonesian consumers are opting to buy used cars instead of new ones as the Covid-19 pandemic dampens people’s spending power.

Muhammad Rizqullah, who goes by Kiki, said he bought a used car last week after trying to find one since April. The 24-year old non-governmental organization (NGO) employee who lives in Jakarta admitted he also looked into buying a new car, but even with the discount offered by online marketplaces, new ones were still out of his budget.
