Large Russian car dealers are testing a new business model. They import new cars as parallel imports and then resell them to other companies.
In this model, they act as alternate distributors and take import orders.
It is easier for large car dealers to import cars, so they enter into partnership agreements with smaller retailers and accept orders to import certain models. Then they buy these cars and transfer them to dealers.

Imports are carried out on a legal entity, which makes the purchase more profitable for both dealers and end customers.
For example, Avilon buys Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Toyota, Volvo, Volkswagen, Kia, etc. cars for dealers.
In addition, large dealers provide junior colleagues with marketing tools to promote models.
