Today the choice of used cars from Europe – thanks to parallel imports – is so great and the prices are so attractive that many will think about
The eccentricities of the world economy have led Russian motorists to amazing circumstances: a three to five-year-old S-class from Germany in a five-liter version and insanely rich equipment costs the same amount as a lightly used – conditionally, one year old – Toyota Camry.
Something isn’t right here, however you look at it. The mileage on them will be proportional – Camry worked in a taxi in Moscow traffic jams, and the “German” drove the “bump” along German roads on German fuel, but in all other respects it will be a comparison in the style of ” God’s gift with scrambled eggs.” Judge for yourself: 2,530,000 rubles for a car, 475,000 for customs, 350,000 for other expenses. A total of 3,355,000 for a luxury Mercedes in state-of-the-art clothing and equipment, who is not ashamed to come and visit Pugacheva. And the Camry.
Well, who wouldn’t be tempted! Under the guise of “then we sell for more than we bought”, we make a deal and start waiting. Despite all the obstacles and bolts, Europe is the fastest way to buy a used car “abroad”. From Japan, Korea and America the container takes a long time, but here you can do it yourself. There are loopholes the size of BelAZ.
The fun continues: when buying a used car, no matter how famous the “citizen” who owned it, you must have the MOT performed. In a good way – the most detailed, excluding possible repairs and breakdown of expensive units. So: oil and fluids, filters, candles, belts, brakes. Everywhere and at the same time, so that tomorrow you can enjoy the intoxicating feeling of driving one of the most respected cars on the Russian road. The heir to the “six hundredth”, “boar”, “rupee forty” and so on, a car that “someone” does not drive. Only serious people and only about serious, urgent matters.
Maybe let’s start the material calculation from the above list from the end. A set of brake pads for the front axle – the original, of course, does not feed the Merc with a miserable fake – costs 70,000 rubles. No, there are no errors in the number of zeros, seventy thousand rubles for four brand new pads in a branded box. By the way, a brake disc costs 35.197 One of course and without any hope that it is original. By the way, the official dealer – yes, we still have it – modestly offered the item for 51,000 Available, there are two pieces.
On the V-belt of the units, they give us a break – 2000 , luckily it fits from previous generations. But the original engine oil – 9000 for a canister and two for a “litre”. It takes 8 liters – it’s easier to buy two “fives” for 18 000. Do you have to change in the box? 2500 per liter, and there are nine of them – a total of 22,500 ₽ A set of filters labeled “brotherly” costs 27,000, and the dealer could not name the price – it is not available. Brake fluid – another 3120 ₽ We add diagnosis here, throw out a few mistakes, a set of winter tires – 225/45/19 – and we get a fairly simple answer: the price of a car is just the beginning of a long and very expensive trip.
