Why “sly” dealers hide LADA Vesta from both customers and AVTOVAZ
Almost all over the country an interesting situation arose around the official LADA dealers. The sellers had to or wanted to remove the LADA Vesta from the showrooms so as not to irritate customers or representatives of the car factory. And here’s why.

Today it is almost impossible to see the flagship Lada model behind the glass of a display case. In the same “Techincom” LADA Vesta is presented as an exhibition copy, but not the car for sale, but the film in which it is pasted. In other words, the exhibit is nothing more than a demo car showing what your car could look like if you add styling and put it on trendy rolls.

Yes, stocks of the flagship LADA Vesta are slowly rising and production of updated versions has not yet started. However, it will begin – it is promised in the spring. So: against the background of the scarcity that has arisen, Vesta has become a defendant in the most sophisticated marketing schemes (read – opportunities to scam customers). You came to the VAZ salon for the flagship, but there is no flagship! But for the “extra” in the form of charitable assistance—either to the dealer or the manager—the machine will still pull.

For example, in one of the DCs of BN Motors, the browser of the AvtoVzglyad portal, who visited the showroom under the guise of a buyer, was told the following: there are options to transfer someone else’s reservation to a single car , or negotiate directly with the warehouse. And what, why not: business today is no less gray and murky than it was in the ‘nineties’. Thanks for not wasting money! Otherwise, as they say, whoever pays orders the music. And today it is not cheap: from 1.8 to 2.1 million rubles! Of course, it’s possible for car dealership employees to deliberately escalate the situation and create artificial excitement to ruin a potential buyer as quickly as possible. But the fact remains: everyone earns their caviar sandwich as best they can.

In the same BN Motors, we were told that the manufacturer banned the sale of LADA Vesta altogether because there are very few left, aimed at boosting sales of simpler models. And especially LADA Granta, designed to increase the sales volume of the brand and significantly improve its performance in the context of an aggravated crisis. State aid program – to help. Yes, I remember how AvtoVAZ President Vladimir Putin promised to saturate the market with cheap cars for the people. Apparently he keeps his promise. Or are dealers lying again because of the caviar on bread?

Received by the AvtoVzglyad portal, the answer from the official representatives of AVTOVAZ about the sales ban of LADA Vesta seems short, but succinct: “Nonsense”. At the same time, there is in the backyards of Vesta dealers, albeit not in the same amount as before, but there is. Includes updated Vesta NG. We remember they were scattered among the dealers in the summer. We are talking about hundreds of cars, exclusively in the sedan body and in the “luxury” configuration. Some retailers are sold out and something is “frozen”. However, how to “defrost” – you already know.
