The Belarusian new car market now copies the Russian in an exact copy. The prices are sky high, there is a shortage of products, there is no hype among car dealers. But on the “secondary” everything is fine. To be precise, it was before the announcement of the mobilization. From what our allies and neighbors cried – in the material of the AvtoVzglyad portal.
Until recently, Belarus helped Russia, first with new cars, which we actually picked up on the local market, and then with used ones, until Old Man tightened the rules on the export of various products, including cars. In fact, however, the Russian people stopped driving cars to the union state for completely different reasons.
Firstly, our brother’s income has fallen trivially and secondly, the mobilization has ‘hit’. Even dealers and those, fearing to meet representatives of the military commissionerships, “hammered”, as they say, a bolt. What can I say if in Russia customers began to massively refuse to buy cars, including prepaid ones. And nobody wants to risk money, time and – God forgive me – life to go on a trip to fraternal Belarus. It won’t “arrive”, so they will “rake in” – here it is, really, the womb!
Faced with the absence of Russian customers, who until now massively helped the natives not to starve to death, Belarusian sellers and resellers literally cried. The cars are curb weight, but there are no orders. Traders take away prizes almost daily to at least earn something. In addition: we are ready to discuss additional discounts right at the hood.
According to the AV.by source, the market is dotted with foreign cars of various classes from the ages of three to five, including the German premium, which is loved by Russians. It is these machines that are the most profitable to source from abroad. For example, the Audi A6 released in 2019 for more than 30 thousand dollars is a decent purchase with sufficient kilometers and in neat technical condition. For about the same amount you can take a one and a half year old “penny” BMW in the “maximum speed” and the M package.
However, as mentioned before, the market froze and it is not even an hour, it will hit its bottom. Industry experts, citing mass complaints from indigenous vendors, among other things, report: “Russians have stopped calling since the start of the mobilization.” However, it is much more important that after that at least someone can call somewhere …
