Chinese cars are becoming more and more popular with Russian citizens. This is used by dishonest car dealer managers who come up with various schemes to mislead gullible buyers. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells about the most common “divorce” for money.
When choosing a showroom, you should avoid those car dealers who offer “Chinese” at too low prices. Especially if there is no information about the “dealer” you have chosen on the official website of the manufacturer. Most likely they are scammers.
But even the “official” status of a dealer center does not always guarantee a fair approach to the customer. In other places, you can be “marinated” just before the contract is concluded. Like, there is a typo in the text of the document, there is an error somewhere, so everything has to be redone and re-signed. As a result, after 3-4 hours, a tired customer is ready to put “squiggles” on all the papers that the manager slips. Especially if he came from far away.
By the way, the question of the customer’s place of residence of car dealership managers is not so rarely heard. Such an innocent interest is not accidental, because sellers are testing the bottom in this way. The person who has traveled from another city is determined to return by car. And he pays for food and hotel. This means that such a customer cannot get discounts, but at the same time end “special stages” – he will buy anyway.
What kind of “specials”? For example, a protective mesh in the front bumper. This service is provided by dealers who sell the Haval Dargo crossover, for example. Indeed, without such “tuning” it will not be easy, because the stones will bombard the radiator. However, the grille can be installed completely by yourself – it will turn out many times cheaper.
If you did buy a car, pay attention to the so-called zero maintenance. Usually it is executed at the price of TO−1, but this is incorrect. After all, anything serious is unlikely to happen to a modern car over 2000 miles, and it’s too early to update the filters – only oil may need to be changed.
It should be borne in mind that the maintenance of Chinese cars is by no means cheap – this applies both to spare parts and to the cost of the work. And many more details – especially body elements – are a long time coming. The fact is that Asians often restyle and adjust the assembly technique in the factory. As a result, the weld points of the body panels are different: the part itself seems to fit, but it cannot be installed. Have to order a new one. The same Korean car is comparatively cheaper to maintain. And there will be no problems with the “body”.
