For the first time since 1959, Cubans can now buy new and used cars
BBC News
Cubans are now able to buy modern cars freely for the first time since the revolution in 1959.
Previously, Cubans had to get a government permit to buy new vehicles. That requirement has now been abolished but only a minority will benefit.
The state has a monopoly on new car sales and is marking up prices by 400% or more, so few people can afford them
