Business

What “EVİM system” is doing (business mechanics)

The “home improvement system” branded as EVİM is essentially a financing + procurement structure that sellers can’t directly run profitably because they must fund inventory upfront.

The system relies on:

  • Car price / distributor discounting to manage upfront costs and margins.
  • Fleet buyers (not dealerships) that buy cars with a ~6-month resale restriction, then profit by either:
    • Reselling after the waiting period, or
    • Renting during the waiting period.
  • Two delivery models offered to participants:
    • Leasing/rental-style delivery (the car becomes available after a waiting rule)
    • Direct purchase (faster, but with higher fees and stricter eligibility)

Framework / playbook (how to think about it)

Cost build-up logic (explicit in the example)

The example cost logic includes:

  • Base car price
  • + organization fee
  • + rental/lease cost for the waiting period (e.g., 6 months)
  • + down payment
  • + installments (the structure depends on the delivery model)

Eligibility gating

  • Direct purchase requires minimum banking/credit qualification (noted as FİNDEX).

Inflation risk model (macro-to-micro)

It works only if inflation + timing benefit the participant’s cash-flow.

The biggest loss risk for ordinary users is:

  • Receiving cash later at a lower real value, or
  • Mis-timing relative to price inflation.

Concrete example and numbers (Ateca case)

Model 1: Leasing / rental delivery

Example vehicle: Seat Ateca

  • Promotional list price: 2,205,000 TL
  • Fleet buys at: 850,000 TL (example spread)
  • Participant is charged a “delivery price” (described as +45,000 TL extra to the dealer in the example)

EVİM organization fee: 7%

  • Example fee: 157,500 TL

Waiting rule: 6 months / 6,000 km

Monthly rent (during waiting period): ~108,000 TL

Rental-period total (described math):

  • 108,000 TL × 6 ≈ ~632,000 TL rental cost

Additional ongoing payments during waiting period:

  • Example installments shown as ~32,000 TL per month, described alongside total around ~140,000 TL/month in the explanation.

Resulting total cost outcome (as stated)

  • “Delivery price” component: ≈ 45,000 TL
    • organization/rental costs: ≈ 157,000 TL
    • rental-period total: ≈ ~850,000 TL cost basis used in explanation
    • down payment: ~675,000 TL
    • installments over total term (described as 25 installments after deposit)

Implied effective purchase price: A car that would effectively cost ~2,205,000 TL ends up costing roughly 3,100,000–3,150,000 TL in installments (per the narrator’s conclusion for this scenario).


Model 2: Direct purchase

Presented as better for short-term (earlier delivery), but with key drawbacks:

  • Requires FİNDEX above a threshold
  • Organization fee increases from 7% → 13%
    • Example: 157,000 TL → 325,000 TL
  • Delivery timing:
    • ~35 days (about 3 weeks)
    • 14-day cancellation right

Fees/extra costs described:

  • In the correction, direct purchase price effectively becomes ~2.5M TL instead of 2.205M TL in the example.
  • Additional total cost vs. leasing example: ~620,000 TL extra (as stated)
  • Installment pattern described as heavier earlier/middle payments (example ranges mentioned: 40k / 60k / 90k / 140k).

Takeaway: Direct purchase reduces waiting time but increases the total “take” via higher fees and eligibility constraints.


“Normal purchase method” / customized installment case

  • The narrator selects a custom scenario (based on Necmettin’s list) to demonstrate flexibility.

Assumptions in this scenario:

  • Car amount: 2,500,000 TL
  • Delivery timing: ~7 months
  • Total installment term: 26 months
  • Organization fee example: 175,000 TL
  • Down payment example: 1,000,000 TL upfront
  • Monthly installments:
    • 20 fixed monthly installments
    • later “adjusted” large final installments, including examples:
      • 63,000 TL (months 21–22)
      • 189,000 TL (months 23–24)
      • 576,000 TL final

Total paid outcome (stated):

  • “Total amount” around 2,675,000 TL (base scenario)

Interest/inflation thought experiment:

  • They approximate extra cost from holding a 1M deposit for 6 months:
    • “official interest” on initial deposit mentioned as ~150,000 TL
  • Expanded conclusion totals:
    • ~2,825,000 TL including “inflation difference” (narrator estimate)

Strategic / business insight (why it works for some, fails for others)

Primary users described

People who already have significant assets/cash and can arbitrage price movements.

Example logic described:

  • Having a car,
  • putting cash in the system,
  • leveraging inflation/price increases to sell/transfer before buying again,
  • effectively converting 1M → 2.5M purchasing power (as described).

Risk for ordinary/middle/lower income participants

The key risk is inflation mismatch.

Narrator framing:

  • If inflation averages ~40% over 20–24 months, real value can deteriorate sharply if timing is wrong.

Motivation vs banks

Described as avoiding bank credit constraints (credit limits), especially after a 2021 regulation change that affected many users.

The narrator notes:

  • Safeguards improved,
  • but future regulatory direction is uncertain.

System dependency on growth

It is explicitly stated:

“This system needs to grow. If growth stops, the system stops.”


Actionable recommendations (explicit / implicit)

  • Prefer scenarios with:
    • Clearly defined delivery timelines (e.g., 7–8 months with predetermined dates)
    • Structured installments that reduce uncertainty
  • Avoid models where you are exposed to unbounded inflation timing risk.
  • Ensure FİNDEX eligibility is met for direct purchase.
  • Before joining, stress-test whether inflation and price trends will favor the participant’s cash-flow timing.

Key KPIs / metrics mentioned (financial + operational)

  • Organization fees
    • Leasing/rental: 7% (example 157,500 TL)
    • Direct purchase: 13% (example 325,000 TL)
    • Normal/custom scenario: example 175,000 TL
  • Waiting period / delivery constraints
    • Leasing model: 6 months / 6,000 km
    • Direct purchase: ~35 days (~3 weeks) + 14-day cancellation
  • Rental cost
    • Example: 108,000 TL/month during waiting period
  • Price points
    • Promotional baseline: 2,205,000 TL
    • Example reference list/market: 2,500,000 TL
    • Effective total cost outcomes stated:
      • Leasing model: ~3,100,000–3,150,000 TL
      • Normal/custom model: ~2,675,000 TL (base) to ~2,825,000 TL (with inflation-difference estimate)
  • Inflation assumption used for risk
    • ~40% average over ~20–24 months (to illustrate potential losses)
