After checking about fifty dealerships in the capital, we were convinced that finding a profitable offer here would not be difficult. Thanks to the competition! And will it be just as easy to purchase a car you like in the vastness of the rest of Russia? Having asked this question, we went on a trip to cities and villages.
The task is the same: to buy a car from an authorized dealer of the brand in the selected configuration and at the maximum discount. Of course, gifts and other pleasant little things are welcome. The remaining dealers' achievements in the struggle for the customer are summarized in the table. The list of purchases included popular new items: Mazda CX-5, Chevrolet-Cobalt and Nissan Almera.

Advertising slogans on the facade of the dealership in Ryazan promised good discounts and an abundance of cars. Check it out? It turned out that there is nothing to catch. In the corner, only two cars were gathering dust, and those in the maximum configuration. In addition, the local seller approached the work without due enthusiasm - even in the absence of other customers, he did not show much interest in us. Only after he had finished his instant coffee, he decided to pay a little attention to the newcomers. From the conversation it became clear that we would have to wait at least a month and a half for the desired option. Discounts were out of the question. Alas!

Despite the modest size of the showroom, a good half of the square was allotted for the Mazda CX-5. The machine is presented immediately in three versions: from the cheap version to the expensive one. We learned from the seller that the demand for a model in this region is very high and the right car needs to be ordered. But if you wait more than a month unbearable, you can pick up a copy directly from the audience. True, you will have to overpay as much as 50, 000 rubles for the installed additional equipment. Robbery! Since such expenses were not included in our plans, we set off to seek happiness in a neighboring region.

An excellent dealership capable of competing for the title of exemplary. Convenient parking, a huge and spacious showroom, in which the entire Mazda lineup is before your eyes. The demand for the services of a single manager turned out to be very great, however, an experienced seller tried to please everyone, clearly and quickly answering the questions posed and in memory, voicing the state of the stock and the date of the next delivery. Unique! He promptly offered us two options of different colors for us and promised a discount of 50, 000 rubles if we buy a car within a week. In parting, the seller provided us with branded booklets and price lists with a catalog of original accessories. Well done!

The seller, periodically glancing at his watch, showed us that he was in a hurry. Nevertheless, he coped with his work perfectly. Quickly listed all the advantages of the model and introduced the prices of services. In conclusion, the monologue offered last year's black car at a discount of 15, 000 rubles. Before we take our money to the cash register, we took the opportunity to check a future purchase in business, taking a ride through the territory of the dealership. In parting, the seller provided us with company brochures and promised to call in a couple of days in order to find out our intentions. Business approach!

Having walked through the showroom several times, we never found the desired “Cobalt”. According to the manager, the exhibition machine came with factory color defects and was sent to the service for revision. After such "advertising", we glanced at this model already with apprehension. The seller could not dispel our fears, since he did not have information about the model at all. To the most seemingly simple question, he, as a delinquent schoolboy, answered with short “I don’t know”. The last straw was the lack of a test drive - due to the fact that the corresponding car was also in service. This is truly the "island of bad luck." Of course, we did not stop here.

Acquaintance with the car began immediately with a test drive. The manager turned out to be extremely talkative and knowledgeable fellow - he talked with interest about the advantages of the model and praised the energy-intensive suspension. He cited the prices of maintenance and consumables as a keepsake. Feels like a man is in his place! Unfortunately, the required equipment was not available. The announced waiting period of two months did not suit us, of course. Not wanting to miss customers, the seller offered an unusual alternative - the more prestigious Aveo with automatic gearbox and solid equipment at a discount for 510, 000 rubles. We did not expect such an original approach! It is a pity that I had to politely refuse.

To get to the territory of the car dealership, I had to storm the tram tracks, risking to leave not only engine protection on them, but also bumpers. What we need is a new car, but what about a freshly baked customer? But on the spot we were met by a smiling seller. Having carefully listened to our wishes (to buy a car right now), the manager said that the dealership receives no more than ten “Almer” per month. The factory allegedly working not at full strength is to blame. Therefore, we will have to walk on foot for at least two months - for such a period a line has already been scheduled, growing not by the day, but by the hour. This is not about us. Will seek!

Before telling us the price, the Nizhny Novgorod seller made a visual presentation of the model. He drew attention to the size of the cabin and trunk, reported the cost of maintenance, inexpensive in comparison with competitors. As the saying goes, the benefits are obvious. It is a pity, commodity samples were not found in stock. But, as it turned out, not for everyone. The cunning manager suggested a couple of cars of different colors from under the floor with an overpayment of 25, 000 rubles, and for this amount, you can, they say, choose whatever you want from the list of additional equipment. He would have smuggled into Malaya Arnautskaya!

The appetite of this dealer to call modest language does not turn. We were promptly offered the coveted car with an overpayment of 35, 000 rubles. Unlike the previous one, the local dealer crammed the car to your taste. But our taste preferences did not agree - half of the special stages, in our opinion, was absolutely useless. And we were not going to overpay at all. Such a scheme is not about us.

Oddly enough, there is no agreement at dealers even within the federal district. So, Mazda sellers in each region have different prices and conditions. For example, in Ulyanovsk, the available cars are already hung with additional equipment, and in Nizhny, sellers are almost begging to buy a factory-made car and still give a good discount. Most Nissan dealers warm their hands on Almera customers with might and main, forcing them to overpay for stupid accessories and expensive rugs. Chevrolet sellers have a similar situation. For example, last year’s cars in Ryazan are still not sold, and in Vladimir they prefer to trade on order. Perhaps this is the specificity of the regions: each dealer has its own quota, they increase it for the best, and the worst is to earn on additional services. But buyers are blown away! Maybe someone will think about their interests?
