The registration data from the traffic police is encouraging: in the last week of June, the Russians began dismantling new cars quite quickly. What do they take? This question will be answered very soon. But it can be assumed that now there is the greatest demand for all kinds of “Chinese”, as well as the “anti-sanction” LADA Granta. And certainly a patriotic public, angry with Western sanctions, does not ignore UAZ car dealers. The AvtoVzglyad portal decided to find out whether it is easy to buy a Patriot instead of automotive products from “unfriendly countries”.
Oats are expensive today: even the official website of the domestic manufacturer of frame SUVs recommends car dealers to give the top-class UAZ Patriot for at least 2,140,000 rubles. And where to go? The French “automatic”, German driving electronics and many other imported components – this is now, in modern terms, a “sanction”.
But who wants to “grab” such a “UAZ” is not observed at all: the car dealer is so deserted that you can shoot horror films about an extinct civilization. Only a few managers (in the good sense of the word “couple”) meet rare customers who decide to study the latest achievements of the Ulyanovsk auto industry.
Those same executives begin to closely follow anyone who steps over the threshold of this trading temple, constantly muttering a memorized murmur about harsh sanctions and an impending deficit. Say, hurry in time, if you need a “vending machine”! Soon they will no longer be… And what are we? We’re on! In addition, the entire dealership area is lined with only two-pedal “Patriots”.
But there are clearly wrong price tags on the stands near the cars: in the Lux Premium package, brand new SUVs cost from 2,750,000 to 2,810,000 rubles. I want to take a picture of the information desk, but before that polite salespeople bite back: “You are not allowed to take pictures! Command of the leader!” I listen and obey: it is impossible, therefore it is impossible.
It turns out that the price tags are not incorrect: now they really ask for incomplete 3,000,000 “rubles” for UAZ. That is 600-650 thousand more than the suggested retail price. Maybe for this money the dealer covered the interior with natural leather and decorated with zebrano veneer? No, he just threw the floor mats, set off the alarm and used anti-corrosion.
There are no discounts. Absolutely not. Therefore, we ask you to choose a car without an expensive European “machine” – it will certainly cost less. And indeed, in the far corner of the dealer is a more modest copy. Mechanical box, average equipment and price … 2,600,000 . With the recommended – 1,820,000 .
So it is not at all surprising why no one wants to buy new UAZs. With so many dealers, instead of one “Patriot”, it would make more sense to buy four (!) LADA Granta Classic 2022: a sedan, a liftback, a station wagon and one with Sport Active, which is only used on big holidays.
