Sometimes it is useful to stroll through the abandoned metropolitan car dealerships. Now sometimes you hear enough from their managers that you don’t know whether to laugh or
We periodically conduct a kind of “consumer inspection” of large car trading complexes or locations where dealers of different brands “bundle” together. It is always helpful to be aware of what is actually happening “on the ground”. We recently made another such raid at car dealerships in Major City on Novorizhskoye highway. We walked, watched, distracted the staff from laziness and pretended to buy a car. We also came to the showroom where LADA is sold.
We began to communicate with the manager about the acquisition of LADA Vesta. At one point he asked an unexpected question: do you have the opportunity to purchase a car as a legal person, and not as a “physicist”? We replied that with a legal entity – this is not for us. And they asked about the nature of managers’ interest in this topic. The young man’s answer surprised us.
According to him, if we were representatives of a legal entity, he would offer us LADA Vesta CNG – a modification of the model that can run on methane, and at a very appetizing price. And since we are “physicists”, he can’t sell us this frugal Vesta. For example, AVTOVAZ itself prohibits this. We chuckled respectfully in response, not understanding anything, but “passed” the topic.
They did not understand so much that the next day they turned to the official representatives of AVTOVAZ for clarification. The above story aroused genuine surprise and genuine interest in our interlocutor. Because the sale of natural gas vehicles is subsidized by the state. And the more of them are implemented in someone’s hands, the more profitable for the automaker, that is, the auto giant Tolyatinsky. Accordingly, there were no instructions limiting the sale of “gas” LADA to Russian dealers of the manufacturer’s brand.
The editors of the AvtoVzglyad portal were pleased with the answer, but our interlocutor himself became extremely interested in the situation and promised to find out through his channels what was the matter, and then tell. After several calls and clarifications, we got the most likely reason for the “ban on the sale of Vesta CNG to private individuals” at the Major dealer.
Apparently, the car in question was originally part of a lot intended for sale under a contract with a legal entity. The deal (apparently!) fell through, and the sedan, as they say, “hanged” in the dealer’s warehouse. And it is still listed in the trading company’s databases as intended for “yuri”.
To formalize the sale of the ill-fated LADA Vesta CNG to an individual, the employees of the autotrading organization must make some additional “gestures” with the documents. What they can’t or won’t do. But the stray client is not supposed to know about this. It is much easier to hang on his ears and spread noodles on “AVTOVAZ forbidden”. It sounds as mysterious and concrete as the phrase “God’s will for all.” For a manager, this is a win-win response. Because an ordinary car owner will surely believe in the inexplicable quirks of a domestic car manufacturer.
Only the “manager” or his boss, who ordered to blame everything on AVTOVAZ, does not understand that in this way the car dealership discredits the brand image in the eyes of potential customers in the most unpretentious way. For example, LADA was created by some strange people who give stupid orders. Involuntarily you will think: is it worth it for me to buy a car made by not quite suitable gentlemen? So, in their technical part, isn’t less powerful tyranny thriving? In general, AVTOVAZ can with a clear conscience thank the employees of Major City. They know and are able to create the “right” attitude in the customer towards the brand they are trying to sell.
