At the height of the semiconductor crisis, LADA brand dealers behaved just like any other salesperson: that is, they installed a bunch of completely useless “special stages” and then pushed the price of a car to exorbitant heights. As a result, in some salons for LADA Vesta they could ask up to 2,000,000 rubles! The AvtoVzglyad portal decided to see with its own eyes how things are now.
Of course, we were most interested in the “anti-crisis” LADA Granta. Recall that AVTOVAZ currently produces the only version of this model, called Classic 2022. It does not have anti-lock brakes, airbags and a 90-horsepower 1.6-liter eight-valve that only meets Euro-2 standards.
At the same time, the new equipment cannot be called “frayed”! After all, the VAZ team was generous with painted moldings, power steering, front power windows, central locking, power mirrors and Isofix mounts. What is missing is air conditioning. However, the car giant promises to return it soon.
Theoretically, for such a car should be asked for 658,300 rubles. But in practice? Let’s say right away that AVTOVAZ has constantly asked its dealers not to be rude, but to make an extremely modest surcharge on top of the suggested retail price (RRP). And after visiting several dealers, the AvtoVzglyad portal is ready to confirm: there is not even a trace of the former dealer’s greed!
In three DCs, salespeople acted as a blueprint: for sedans in metallic beige, managers charged 45-50 thousand more than prescribed by the RRP. But they did not ask just like that, but in exchange for “dopas”. The set of non-standard options includes interior mats, a set of motorists, a radio tape recorder and an alarm system.
In general, “folk” price tags have really returned to LADA car dealerships. In addition, point-of-sale employees are even ready to place an order for a “naked” car with no “test drives”. But they do not specify how long the order will be fulfilled.
And another sign of the new era. Managers jump nervously when they see a customer who wants to take a picture of a car. Say, there is an instruction “from above” to limit shooting … I wonder why? After all, the ‘anti-sanction’ Granta looks pretty decent. But these are trifles. Most importantly, there are cars and dealer cheats are pretty humane.
