Why car manufacturers were offered to buy broken cars from Russians?

The introduction of anti-Russian sanctions has left many owners of foreign cars facing acute shortages of spare parts and wrongful refusal of warranty repairs. The problems are serious, complex, but according to some experts completely solvable. For example, the Consumers’ Association of the Russian Federation offered foreign car manufacturers to buy defective cars from Russians.

At first glance, the scheme proposed by the Consumers’ Association of the Russian Federation looks good. Judge for yourself: a car manufacturer who cannot repair a car with the help of an official dealer buys it at the market price (at the time of the transaction). As a result, the exhausted car owner is left with the money and the car center is left with spare parts suitable for other customers’ cars.

True, there are many nuances. Firstly, not all car owners can be satisfied with the compensation offered by the importer – prices have risen sharply, it is difficult to find a worthy alternative. Second, dealers can be tricky: buying cars at a discounted price, somehow “soothing them” and selling them on the secondary market. And last but not least: why do importers need all this? Especially the fact that they have said goodbye to the Russian market forever.

So probably the story with the buyback of broken cars will not go beyond empty talk. Naturally, the government and the business community must look for other ways to solve problems: for example, to actively develop parallel imports, although not everything runs smoothly. And why, you can read that here.
