        "summary": "The used car market at WTC Mangga Dua in North Jakarta is experiencing a surplus of Daihatsu Gran Max vehicles, particularly the minibus and blind van variants, with strong demand from buyers seeking operational vehicles. Prices range from Rp108 million for a 2016 minibus model to Rp141 million for a 2021 blind van, though availability of the latter is limited due to high interest. Dealers speculate that much of the demand may be linked to the government's free nutritious meals (MBG) programme, highlighting the intersection of automotive sales and public policy initiatives.",
        "content": "<p>The used car sales centre at WTC Mangga Dua in North Jakarta is not\nonly teeming with second-hand Toyota Avanzas but also features a\nplentiful supply of used Daihatsu Gran Max vehicles. According to\ntraders at WTC Mangga Dua, the stock of used Gran Max models is quite\nabundant. Variants range from minibuses to blind vans, with the minibus\nvariant being the most common. Traders report that interest in the Gran\nMax is currently high, especially for operational vehicles. One such\ntrader, Ronald, is selling three units of Gran Max, with production\nyears varying from 2016 to 2019. \u201cWe have three Gran Max units for sale,\nincluding a younger 2019 model and the oldest from 2016,\u201d Ronald told\nCNBC Indonesia on Sunday (26\/4\/2026). Prices include Rp108 million for a\n2016 1.5-litre Gran Max, Rp110 million for a 2017 model, and Rp141\nmillion for a 2021 blind van. However, availability of the Gran Max\nblind van is limited at present due to strong demand. \u201cFor the blind van\nversion, which has windows only in the front seats, there aren\u2019t many\nunits around right now; interest is high,\u201d he said. Another seller,\nBagas, also noted numerous customers seeking these vehicles,\nparticularly the blind van variant. \u201cYes, many are looking for them,\nespecially the blind van, and units are hard to come by here,\u201d Bagas\nsaid. Although the blind van variant is popular, the minibus version\nalso sells well. \u201cThe full-glass version (minibus variant) sells too,\nbut the blind van is more in demand,\u201d Bagas added. Bagas further\nexplained that many customers are purchasing the Gran Max blind van for\noperational purposes, though he did not specify the exact use. \u201cThey say\nit\u2019s for operational vehicles, perhaps for the MBG (Makan Bergizi\nGratis) kitchen operations, but I\u2019m not entirely sure,\u201d he clarified.\nThe following are the prices for used Gran Max vehicles at WTC Mangga\nDua: - 2016 minibus variant: Rp108 million; - 2017 minibus variant:\nRp110 million; - 2021 minibus variant: Rp135 million; - 2021 blind van\nvariant: Rp141 million.<\/p>",
