Prices in the Russian automobile market continue to creep up. Only since the beginning of this year, some brands have already managed to change prices several times. Changes in the cost of new models, in turn, will certainly affect the “secondary”, analysts are sure.
So, according to experts, used cars will continue to add value throughout the year. The cost of used cars will rise in proportion to the increase in prices for new vehicles. But with a delay of 1-2 months. By the end of the year, growth will be from 5% to 20%.
According to experts, the models with good turnover are the fastest to rise in price. These are mainly mass segment machines that are in steady demand. For example, Volkswagen Tiguan, Skoda Octavia, Skoda Rapid, Toyota RAV4.
At the same time, demand for used cars has increased sharply lately, experts say. Unlike the new car market, which sagged in February by 2.2%, sales of used cars rose immediately by 11% – compared to last year.
Among the reasons why companies are changing pricing policies, experts single out several factors at once. First of all, automobile brands, of course, respond to the collapse of the Russian currency. In addition, at the beginning of the year, the size of the disposal fee was increased, experts remind. Also among the reasons is a change in the lineup, writes AutoVzglyad.
