 READING:

It is now easier to buy foreign made, new and used cars in Cuba. The Council of Ministers of Cuba decided, "to open up the retail sale of…motorcycles, cars, vans and minibuses." Cuba will also "prioritize bicycle sales on the retail market" at cheap prices. New laws mean regulations on car ownership are less strict. Until 2011, people could not sell cars that were made after the 1959 Cuban revolution. Havana was full of vintage cars from yesteryear.

Cuba's government will control car prices. Only it will import foreign cars. Cubans will have to buy imported cars from the government. Profits from sales will improve Cuba's roads and transportation. Car dealers don't expect big sales. Most Cubans cannot afford to buy a car. Havana resident Jorge Canso said: "Yeah, I can buy one, but with what? Unfortunately our economy doesn't allow us to save money to be able to buy one."
