The year of hurricane sanctions significantly changed not only the Russian car market, but also the taste of the solvent part of the population. Those who used to
Curious stats: At the end of January, the number of premium used cars for sale was up 63% year-on-year. That is, Russians began to get rid of expensive “movable property” one and a half times more often than at the beginning of 2022. Another aspect of the study is also interesting: the majority of owners do not sell heavily used “necropremium”, but cars under three years old . The number of such announcements has doubled compared to last year. Faded love, withered tomatoes?
Love may not have passed away, but saying goodbye to your beloved Merc or Range Rover is often under pressure. Of course there are people who have lost their income and are forced to sell the car, but the majority come from completely different considerations.
Wealthy Russians are accustomed to a high level of service and instant response to requests – this is what money is paid for. Today there are no such options. You cannot just come to an authorized dealer to repair the car – spare parts, the same brake pads and filters, may not be in stock. You will have to wait or, oh horror, look for the necessary details yourself. The owners of “heavy luxury” are not ready for such a development of events.
The second point is not maintenance, but repair. An accident or sudden breakdown puts the vehicle on hold for up to a year. Wait, a scratched fender takes 12 months to fix? Yes, according to the regulations, it should be replaced, and not filled with putty, so you have to look for and wait for spare parts. Of course, a year is the worst case. At best, “only” two or three months. But for people who are not used to parting with the car for a long time, this is too much. Therefore for sale.
And finally, point number three is insurance. There is an opinion that now, in such difficult times, insurers are very happy to issue policies for Mercedes and the like – after all, you can break the price and get rich. But this is not so: in reality, companies refuse owners of expensive cars, understanding that compensation, in which case, all earnings will be reduced to a deep minus.
Cannot be serviced, cannot be repaired, cannot be insured. There is only one way out – sell, exchange for something that meets the usual requirements. That’s where the fantastic performance of Chinese “premiums” and a large number of used European giants in Chinese dealerships come from. In trade-in parking lots.
