A curious pattern has been noticed on domestic roads: more and more connoisseurs of premium and simply expensive car equipment prefer not the usual European, but outlandish American
With the introduction of numerous sanctions, exactly a year has passed, and Russia is still not falling apart. There are no queues in supermarkets, there is no card system, and “mock-ups of cans of stew” in household stores are found exclusively by residents of the Old World. We still make trivial purchases, although I do not exclude that many people want to purchase the same model for the history.
Approximately the same aspect of life was found on domestic roads: the number of cars is not decreasing, and the arrival of new premium foreign cars seems to have become even more diverse. In addition to the German trio, the British deuce and Volvo that joined them, the capital has many motley American exotics: large luxury pickups, voracious SUVs, electric trains named after Elon Musk and the “Coupe-from-God” brand of Dodge. I wonder where the firewood comes from?
The first to realize that every crisis is also an opportunity were private car dealers who managed to compete with dealers. While the latter were idle with empty halls, the creators of “parallel imports” managed to bring to Russia a large number of different cars, which, you see, were somehow cheaper than ordinary cars from dealers. Thus, a luxurious and impressive low-mileage American pickup could be bought for the price of Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, and the same Dodge Challenger, the childhood dream of adult boys, for the price of LADA Vesta. The choice is obvious, right?
Their low prices were often due to the fact that the exchange rate of the ruble made it very profitable to transport to Belarus the so-called playthings – cars from insurance auctions, which had already been restored and sold to Russia upon arrival in the republic. “Keubal” is not always “total” or a car wound on a pole. In most cases, this is minimal damage from a “fired” airbag. Such vehicles became the basis and basis for the self-made expansion of the American auto industry into Russia. Do not forget about the “Armenian Gate”, which became “Armenian-Georgian” in March last year: from the Transcaucasian republics, which historically bought up “America”, a powerful stream of cars began to flow, practically blocking the M4 highway. The reason is price, price and more price.
Dealers of European brands have suffered the most from the sanctions: they still have serious problems with spare parts, full parking spaces, insurance for “prolonged construction” and many other problems. There were also problems with Japanese, American and Korean spare parts, but they have already been resolved. If not completely, then at the stage where you can maintain and maintain cars. Besides, despite the loud cries from across the ocean, US officials didn’t really put a spanner in the works for their business – they looked through their fingers at circumventing restrictions and much more. It is understandable: your shirt is closer to the body.
Those Russians who today choose a car of an “above average” class do not have many options: take the “Chinese” or just the “Americans”, who have everything they need, including luxury. And the owners of the required amount are often also the owners of a certain set of stereotypes – those that force them to vote in rubles not for a newly minted car manufacturer, but for a long-established brand. So the guys with fat wallets, trying to figure out what’s desirable and what’s real, take Chevy, Ford, Cadillac or other leading ones and don’t need explanations and clarification.
