No matter how many new cars they feed, they still look stubbornly at used foreign cars. Although they already explained to them from the highest stands that all this is auto junk that foreigners just dream of getting rid of, that these cars are environmentally harmful and unsafe (compared to the new Oka, of course), but unreasonable buyers still strive to ask the price to the "used" "Toyota"! True, thanks to the concerns of the state, the market for used cars has been in a fever for the past two years. What is going on here now?

EUROPE: SICK ASAP IS LIVER THAN DEAD

In general, interest in new foreign cars decreased as a result of the introduction of new customs duties, which increased the price of a car by an average of 10–25%. Nevertheless, used cars from Europe continue to be in demand. Until July 2003, a lot of second-hand cars were brought to Russia - the market was overstocked, but gradually almost all of these cars left, now there are not many of them.

The number of foreign cars imported into Russia fell sharply. According to the Kaliningrad Regional Customs, for example, last fall about a thousand cars crossed the Russian border every month, and not five thousand each, as before the increase in duties. Theoretically, a breakdown could be expected in the structure of imported cars: instead of the Audi, the BMW and the Volkswagen, which are so popular with us, with an engine displacement from two liters, small 1–1.5-liter “three-year-olds” would pour in customs duties have not changed). But our market turned out to be much more conservative, and distilleries still drive cars of classes C and D (although now they are mostly on order), but there were no cheap “kids” either. And prices, which rose by an average of $ 2 thousand in the summer, contrary to all market laws, do not stubbornly fall, scaring away many potential buyers. So, in the capital in December for a three-year Opel Astra they asked for 12-13 thousand dollars (despite the fact that the new one costs from 13 thousand!), Volkswagen Passat 2000 - from 17 thousand dollars, Ford Mondeo "1998 - 8-12 thousand. And you really need to love French cars to voluntarily give for a three-year" Peugeot 206 "with an engine of 1.4 liters 11 thousand dollars …

Perhaps by spring the situation will change. According to German auto sites, prices for the most popular used car brands among Russian car dealers - Audi, Mercedes, BMW, VW, Opel - in Germany and Belgium have already dropped by 500-1500 euros. Second-hand sellers and Russian customs officers are sure that the car-makers prepared for sale will begin to disassemble immediately by the spring, the next season of mass sales, and then the deliveries of used foreign cars to Russia will reach the previous level.

New Year holidays can also affect price changes - according to the old Christmas tradition, they have a surge in sales. At this time, prices will certainly not decrease, and immediately after the holidays there comes a slight "hangover" and, as a result, a period of decline in business activity. This condition directly affects demand, and price reductions can be expected.

FAR EAST: THERE ARE NO OTHERS, AND THOSE ARE MADE …

Last time, we reported from the Green Corner market in Vladivostok a few days before the entry into force of the resolution on increasing customs duties. Now, after a few months, we can say: the Government decree is working! Trade in used Japanese women, which was already not very lively in July, froze at the end of autumn. No, there are no fewer cars on the Green Corner, but buyers have failed through the ground. If before they still wandered in small flocks, now they are so rare that sellers do not always respond to loners, occasionally appearing between rows of cars. But it’s only worth it to stay at some car - they vying with each other begin to offer their goods.

Prices also froze at the July mark, but the range has changed. In addition to all kinds of handsome men under two liters of working volume and more, rare “babies” (from 1 to 1, 5 liters) bred earlier. They ask for them, depending on the year of release, from 4.5 to 9 (!) Thousand US dollars. Do not be surprised.

The bulk of cars with engines of more than one and a half liters was cleared before the introduction of the new rules, and the prices of those “stale” goods are relatively divine, but the small class is clearly younger and more expensive. Quite a lot of cars are offered 1999–2001. release. For example, for a Toyota-Witz in 2000 with a liter “engine” (an analogue of the well-known in Europe “Yarisa”) they ask for 6 thousand dollars; for the same money you can find "Vista" (this is "Camry" in Europe) in 1997 or Kaldina ("Karina-E" -universal) 1998. The lineup, as before, is mainly Toyota and Nissan, although other brands are represented quite widely. Oddly enough, the Toyota Prius hybrid is in demand (albeit small).

But in general, the blow to the “right-handed” was dealt a heavy one, the market was almost frozen, but will people stop traveling? Therefore, the market for spare parts is recovering, while prices are growing rapidly - “used” rubber, for example, has risen in price by 1.5–2 times over the past six months, the remaining “consumables” - by 15–20%. The fleet of Primorye is aging and requires more and more spare parts - many can not afford the change of car. What's next?
