In April, the market for new light commercial vehicles, ie light commercial vehicles, actually collapsed: fewer than 5,000 cars were registered, according to the Avtostat agency! That is 65% less than a year earlier. But commercial second-hand strayed very cleverly.
According to a calculation by another agency, Avtostat-Info, sales of used Gazelles rose sharply last month: 3,105 cars of the Next family were sold on the secondary market, which is almost 18% higher than last year.
Sales of UAZ “Loaves” and Ford’s “Transits” were only slightly below last year’s figures. The resale of light commercial vehicles therefore did not fall, but on the contrary grew: the traffic police registered 1.8% more re-registrations of vehicles than one year previously.
And this is very understandable! Prices for a new commercial vehicle have risen quite a bit: according to the AvtoVzglyad portal, they now charge about 5 million rubles for new foreign cars, and Gazelles have grown to 3 million rubles.
Therefore, the people reached for the “secondary”. As a result, the number of “fresh” cars on the market began to fall sharply, forcing the Russians to start “tours” around the country in search of decent used cars.
