New passenger car prices in Russia will not increase in February due to the decline in consumer activity. In this respect reports 1prime.ru, with reference to the press service of the expert association “Russian Automobile Dealers” (ROAD).
“Price increases are not expected in February or will be minimal. The decline in consumer activity has been continuing for several months. The market has overcome the shortage crisis, so we can now expect a major return to traditional discounts, especially on last year’s cars,” ROAD said.
Additionally, according to the association, it is unlikely that second-hand car prices will change in February.
