Employees of dealerships informed us that the price tags for cars will be significantly rewritten upwards as of August 1. Even for cars that have been on sale since the beginning of the year. Just like that, because I want real money. And therefore, we were told, we urgently need to buy a car now – “before it starts”.
In a number of places, we were generally advised not to look at the price tags on the cars on display, but to mentally add 150,000 rubles to them. This is now the real selling price, but the price tags did not have time to rewrite. “But only for your sake” (that is, for the sake of the author of this material), with this 150,000 rubles, a good manager will try to reduce this markup to 100,000-50,000 rubles. Nice huh?! I am sure that many potential buyers, having read about garbage collection on the Internet, now “bite” into such a trick, which can increase the final price of the car by 50,000-100,000 rubles.
It was especially interesting to see how a similar cynical “divorce” scheme, using the scarecrow to increase the recycling fee, works in car dealerships that specialize in the resale of used cars purchased from Russian car owners. At these outlets, garbage collection is generally not sideways, as they say. But even in such places, as it turned out, managers promise to raise prices from August 1 or not to pay attention to the existing price lists …
