New cars these days are sold at fantastic profit margins – they are even used to it. But what is mind-boggling now is the actual discounts on cars from their official price list.
Kirill Mileshkin, an expert at Za Rulem, the oldest and most popular automotive publication in Russia, found out who and how much tosses and throws today.
Today, the car market can safely be called wild. And in a wild market, you need to gather as much information as possible by calling and visiting as many dealers and car dealers as possible before making a final choice. This will save hundreds of thousands of rubles and even millions.
For example, Kirill Mileshkin discovered that one dealer lada sells an ordinary Largus for 2 million rubles, and another for the same money (even a little cheaper) offers a Cross version of this model.
Surprisingly, the price Toyota Camry comparable to the cost of a well-packaged sedan BMW 530d xDrive… And there are countless such amazing excesses, including the new Vesta at a price of almost 3 million rubles.
But some people who take advantage of such confusion, on the contrary, play by the rules of the civilized market.
Expert opinion
Kirill Mileshkinexpert “Behind the wheel”:
– An island of well-being – Chinese stamps. Only in their dealerships they still greet visitors and offer to help. Dealers are even willing to increase the discounts on official websites, along with loans there is a payment plan for two to three years.
You can buy crossovers for the price of a restyled Vesta Chery tiggo 7 Pro or Haval Jolion. From the corner of my ear, I heard a conversation between a manager and a customer about the flagship Exeed VX crossover: half a million off the price list was promised for every trade-in car, even a Zhiguli.
Chinese companies are trying to build a customer portfolio with loyal terms. To today’s reality, it seems like fantastic generosity. But in China itself, the same cars are one and a half to two times cheaper, so our loyal friends don’t miss out on their profit.
You will find more information about real new car prices, surcharges and discounts in the October issue of Za Rulem magazine, which will be available soon.
