Expert opinion
Azat Timerkhanovhead of the press service of the agency “Avtostat”:
– The survey results display that today people are not willing to spend money on buying a new car. First, in anticipation of the situation, there is absolutely no confidence in the future. There is simply no understanding: what will happen tomorrow? Therefore, many are ready to postpone the purchase of a car.
Secondly, of the new cars on the market, there really are Ladas, UAZs and Chinese, and the rest of the manufacturers are selling off stocks, every month every month. Yes, there is a state support program, but LADA Granta and Niva, UAZ Patriot and Hunter, Haval Jolion “shine” for you… new car. But in any case, the choice today has become much smaller.

But on the “secondary” it is much more, and the cars there are cheaper. Therefore, you can find an option that suits you. Another question: how actively do Russians consume cars?
Therefore, I would turn into a statistic that does not lie. It is known that in times of crisis the ratio between sales of new and delayed cars falls on the other side. So, according to the data, in the last 7 years this ratio is from 1:3 to 1:4. But since March 2022, it began to change dramatically and, on average, this year it is 1:6.5. That is, 2 purchased new cars account for 13 with mileage. Apparently, in the near future it may grow even more.
