Identitas pembeli tidak diketahui, hanya saja menurut pengacaranya Mamoud Asari, ia berniat membangun sebuah museum dan memamerkan mobil itu.
Mobil itu merupakan kendaraan yang digunakan Ahmadinejad semasa ia masih menjadi walikota di Teheran. Semenjak terpilih menjadi presiden pada 2005, mobil itu jarang digunakan lagi.
Diperkirakan harga di pasaran lokal, mobil berwarna putih itu hanya Rp 17,1 juta saja.
Ahmadinejad sudah mengumumkan rencana pelelangan mobilnya sejak November tahun lalu. "Untuk membantu perumahan Mehr, sebagai sumbangan," katanya saat itu seperti yang dikutip harian The Telegraph.
Ahmadinejad merupakan presiden yang ingin dicitrakan sebagai teman bagi orang miskin. Usai pemilihan umum dua tahun lalu, ia berjanji akan membangun perumahan, reformasi tenaga kerja dan ekonomi sebagai prioritas setelah harga perumahan melambung pada periode pertamanya.

Iran to create million jobs to its citizens by mass production of powertrains locally

The new equipment will also enable IKCO to diversify its powertrains. According to IKCO's Powertrains deputy CEO, Ali Sheikhzadeh, the carmaker is now in a position to move into supplying diesel engines for passenger cars, which will enter mass production in 2011. He added that the new equipment will 'put an end to Iran's dependency on foreign companies'.
IKCO has a partnership with French company PSA Peugeot Citroën , through which it assembles vehicles under licence. It also based its Saman 'national car' on the Peugeot 405 platform. However, as the threat of further international sanctions against Iran loom, the carmaker is seeking to reduce its dependence on other companies, particularly from overseas, for vital parts and components.

Well I just heard in the morning that Ali Reza Shah Pahlavi committed suicide. This is saddening. So much was expected of him! He was the former crown prince of Iran. And how he spent his life in exile was indeed tragic! Strange things happen in life. You’re raised to become something & you end up somewhere else.
In 1979, Reza Pahlavi left Iran at the time of the Iranian Revolution. He wrote 3 books on the state of Iran.
On his website he calls for a separation of religion and state in Iran and for free and fair elections "for all freedom-loving individuals and political ideologies".
Pahlavi wrote in his book, Winds of Change:
“Since the advent of Islam, our clergymen have served as a moral compass. Spirituality has been an inseparable part of our culture...Today, moral guidance has been replaced by clerical censorship and dictatorial fiat.”
Rest in peace Ali Reza!

Najmeddin then pointed out that two of these eight new cars would be designed and manufactured on totally new platforms, one of which would belong to A or B segment and would cost 8000 to 10000 dollars.
"The Design and production of an eight thousand dollar passenger car that meets all modern standards is a difficult and complicated process," IKCO CEO said and added, "when we talk of a low-cost car, we still consider a quality car that observes all required standards."
Paykan was one of IKCO's most popular sedans that was phased out in 2006.

Hakhamanesh H.V., made by Iran's Sharif University students, took part in the event's class 2H categories and stood third after mecc-H2 and PicoFarad Racing Team by Italy's Polytechnic University of Milan and Turin respectively.
Iran's four-wheel automobile has a composite body, weights 600 kilograms and can travel up to 90 kilometers an hour, ISNA reported.
The vehicle's eight batteries can be charged by urban electricity; it is almost noiseless and does not pollute.
EHI is an international competitive and sports event found by the Assiciazione Tecnica Dell'Automobile in 2005 in an effort to promote innovative activities in academic institutions across the world, which can improve the energy efficiency of vehicles supplied by different energy sources.
International teams from universities and technical institutions take part with vehicles completely designed and made by them. Their products are tested for endurance, acceleration, energy consumption, autocross and climbing abilities.
The teams are then evaluated and awarded by the Technical Committee, based on the characteristics and performance of their vehicles, their level of innovation and industrial potentials.
The 2010 edition of the Formula Electric and Hybrid Italy (EHI) was held from October 7 to 10.

It is our map to decide where to go next. We planned a trip to our neighbours on the east, namely Georgia, Azerbeijan, Armenia and Iran. It turned out to be too complicated due to many border crossings. Besides we would cross Iran from the north of the country only, but there was much more to see there. So we decided to make this an Iran ride only.
Rivers of these rebaged Hillman Hunters (remember those old 70's cars?) flowed through the country. Now, things are starting to improve with the new Samand on sale and the Sinad. The Samand is a car that was built with the help of French corporations. It is much better than the Paykan, but it can't compete with American autos. There are other cars sold in Iran too, like Renaults and Nissans. For more info, go to www.irkhodro.com or www.kishkhodro-sinad.com.

IKCO is also ramping up exports as it builds a global presence outside Iran.
The company officials have said they want to boost annual production to more than a million vehicles and hike exports to more than 600,000 by 2016.

Veniran tractorAgriculture is just one sector where the two countries have partnerships
Inside the entrance to the Ministry of Agriculture compound, a brand new tractor is displayed.
It was created with Iranian know-how in a Venezuelan factory - a potent symbol of co-operation between a Persian nation and South American.
Alberto farms rice and livestock. "My very first tractor was a Veniran model," he says.
"I bought it at a discount with a cheap government loan. Things have really changed around here because of the agreements with the Iranians."
"Before I was just a hired hand, I couldn't even aspire to being a farmer. Now I have all the machinery I need, thanks to the government of President Chavez."
Fraternity
Agreements between Venezuela and Iran cover a wide range of industries
In the past five years Iran and Venezuela have signed dozens of agreements in all kinds of sectors - banking, construction, food processing, engineering, transport, and, of course, oil.
Joint investments total around $20 billion (£12bn).
Training
Calabozo is reaping some of the benefits of that fraternal hug.
On the edge of town, a huge housing complex rises from the rust-coloured earth.
An Iranian company is providing the expertise and engineering skill.
Andre Bandari, an Iranian, is the site manager at the new Veniran maize-processing plant. He says this is one of 10 planned across Venezuela.
The Iranians who have built the factory stay for anything from six months to a year.
For the first time our young people are being trained properly
Maria Cristina Rodriguez, one of the workers from President Chavez's United Socialist Party, is proud of Calabozo's association with Iran.
"For the first time our young people are being trained properly," she says.
"The Iranians are teaching them how do things. They are bringing their knowledge here, and building up the industrial base of the region."
Even her elderly father has a Veniran tractor.
The relationship's just got stronger, and we don't know where it's taking us

IKCO entered the Turkish market in 2007 by first bringing Samand LX passenger cars into the country and then the Samand’s EL model. Speaking to the Anatolia news agency yesterday, Yiğit Seskır, general director of MYS Automotive, the Turkey distributor for IKCO, said both of the Samand models were well received by Turkish customers and that this high demand led them to also import the Soren.
Both the Soren EL and LX models were introduced in Turkey in the first week of the year, he said. The EL, which is outfitted with an airbag, ABS and air-conditioning, sells for TL 20,990, while the LX model is equipped with double airbags, steel rims, fog lights and parking sensors in addition to the features offered on the EL. It is priced at TL 23,990.
“We entered the Turkish market with the motto ‘Good-quality low-priced automobiles’ and saw the anticipated demand for Samand. In line with this, we are introducing another car of very high quality at an affordable price,” Seskır said.
Another IKCO automobile, the Runna, will also be imported to Turkey, Seskır stated.

The Azerbaijan model is slated to hit roads next year, the Mehr news agency reported on November 18. An adviser to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the name is a nod to Iran’s northern neighbor, the Trend news agency reported on November 19.
The car will be produced by Iran Khodro, the Middle East’s largest passenger car manufacturer. The automaker produced Iran’s first domestic-made car, Samand.

Ali-Akbar Mehrabian made the remarks after a meeting with Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicholas Maduro, and Science Minister Jesse Chacon, in Tehran.
The two allies opened a joint car plant in central Venezuela in 2006.
The Iran Khodro Company already exports the country's first all domestic vehicle, Samand, to several countries such as Venezuela, Turkey, Belarus, Russia, Syria and Tajikistan.
The Venezuelan delegation arrived in Tehran on Monday to work on the details in preparation for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's upcoming visit to Venezuela.
Mehrabian also said that his talks with the Venezuelan officials focused on cooperation in the fields of food industry, gas and oil sectors, agriculture, science and technology, as well as generating electricity.
