JAKARTA - PT Roket Motor Indonesia CMO Mochammad Alvi Sofran revealed that the COVID-19 pandemic did not dampen the interest in buying Indonesian sports car lovers.

"In the midst of a pandemic, the enthusiasm of hobby car lovers is also increasing, so they are not so affected by sports car sales during the pandemic," said Alvi Sofran in Jakarta, Sunday.

In this case, he said that maybe these hobby car lovers need a new "toy" so they don't feel bored when there are restrictions on outdoor movement space for the prevention of COVID-19 in Indonesia.

"Maybe this is one of their vacations, because they have to stay at home more and stay away from crowds as recommended by the government," he said.

In addition, the increasing interest in buying these non-cheap vehicles is a long-term investment. Because, according to him, the price of hobby vehicles with a limited edition label will be very promising as an investment.

"This is an investment because the price will continue to rise. Therefore, many of them invest in cars like this," he said.

Even so, the RMC, which has only been running since the end of December last year, is also not without a deep sense of concern about building a business in the sales of used cars in the sports car and super car segments.

"Departing from our 12 years of experience in buying and selling vehicles in this segment, we are confident that we want to move into this business world. Even though at the beginning of the pandemic we were a bit hesitant," he asserted.

Sports car and super car fans are not let go when they buy a vehicle at RMC. RMC also provides after sales service that is no longer in doubt.

RMC itself, provides a variety of sports cars and super cars from well-known brands such as Ferrari, Aston Martin, Porsche to Audi.
