In Russia, a new era of “right-hand driving” has arrived. Still, for a reasonable amount of money, you can get a beautiful car that will last for many years and then be easily sold for a sum of money commensurate with the purchase. The steering wheel in the glove compartment is a thing to come, the custom comes in just a few hours, but to be honest it’s impossible to find anything at least comparable in quality to JDM, from units and paintwork to equipment. In short, we decide: we pay the excess and choose from the availability to leave directly behind the wheel, or we save money by going all the way from the auction to the car transporter.

But first, only accredited buyers can attend auctions and the most attractive offers are for a limited circle of people, so you can’t go in and buy “with a card”. That is, you can not do without an intermediary at all, you need to pay at least 30,000 rubles to a specialist who provides options, organizes logistics, goes through all the circles of bureaucracy. He also already arranges the purchase, loading on the ship and unloading with us. Price — 120,000 .

Secondly, the port of Vladivostok is now a huge line of cars standing “in their own window”. The waiting time for the arrival of a car in the Russian Federation today is three months, the time for passing the “laboratory” and issuing an electronic PTS is up to one month. And then – a car transporter: under the most successful conditions, the wait for a “carriage” takes a month. And the line is getting longer every day. Then – transportation to the address: the “transport” that left Vladik on the last day of summer arrived in Moscow on September 12, having traveled all over Russia in two weeks.

And now we are going to make a simple calculation by recalculating the days (or rather, months) that will pass from the moment the car is paid for until the arrival of the car carrier: the money for the car was transferred on 06/02/2022 , and the “cargo” arrived on 09/12/2022. Three months and 10 days have passed since the close of the trade. This is the dealers’ mark-up: the car does not have to wait fifteen minutes or more, it can be felt, inspected, driven and registered tomorrow. So when making decisions or accusing the seller of being greedy, keep this figure in mind: saving on one more link in the chain leads to a hundred days of waiting. Finished?
