It turned out that “Zaporozhets” now you can buy “almost nothing”.
In Ukraine, experts say, after a long crisis gradually aktiviziruyutsya automotive market. The cost of machinery is fixed in dollars, so with the revaluation of the hryvnia, cars for Ukrainians become more affordable.
Used cars fell
With the adoption of the law “On amendments to the Tax code regarding stimulate the market for used vehicles in Ukraine fell significantly supported by the machine. So, if earlier the tax on the sale levied on the full value of the car, now the tax is imposed only on the charges and margins of the cabin. For example, if earlier for a car worth 10 thousand dollars we had to pay 3 thousand, now – from 500 to 1000 dollars.
It is expected that this innovation will lead to a significant revival of the market of used cars. At the moment, on specialized sites, you can find a second-hand car costs from 100 to 100 thousand dollars. So, “Moskvich”, 1992 model year with mileage 100 thousand kilometers you can buy for just $ 150.
“Cossack or Muscovite can be bought very cheaply. Even for a hundred dollars. But another thing is how this machine will work? How long will it last? This is more for students who work in summer and want for 5 Grand to buy one that’s a wreck on wheels. But, seriously, the car can not cost less than $ 1,000,” says automotive expert, Ilya Rosenberg.
For $ 400 you can buy a VAZ 2105 1993 model year. According to the owners of the car – the car is on the move and can last for many years.
For $ 1000 offer 23-year-old Mercedes-Benz E 260 with mileage of 300 thousand kilometers, and over 10 thousand dollars – supported by the SSU Toyota or BMW. For the same money you can buy a new car Lanos. But for 6 thousand dollars new for 6 thousand dollars – ZAZ Sens Sedan.
Competition was less
From 1 January in Ukraine banned import of cars that do not meet environmental requirements of Euro-5 standard, which became mandatory in Europe since September 2009. And, according to experts, vehicles that meet this standard are more expensive. If used cheap car you can overtake from the EU, now the only option is to buy it “with hands”.
By the way, Ukraine in the framework of the agreement on free trade Zone abolished duties on goods from the European Union. Starting in 2017, the year, the fee will be annually reduced by 1%.
Ukrainians of changes in the prices of European cars will not feel and in a few years. The cost of a new machine is formed from the price of the manufacturer, collection for the first registration, VAT, excise duty, fees and deductions to the pension Fund. For European producers will change only one component of prices is the duty.
How to choose a car
Automotive expert, head of the consulting firm AUTOVAM, Sergei Radetsky considers that an inexperienced driver is better to buy a cheap domestic car production. These cars are easier to repair after an accident. “First how many tens of thousands of kilometers you can drive a car safely, without any damage. Each unit has its own lifespan, the older the machine, the less her lifespan,” says Radetsky.
“A driver who has driving experience, having made the decision to change the car, will always look for a better car. And it may not be a new car, it may be a later issue, but important that this machine was classes above. Some drivers are willing to change their new car on an old Mercedes, but it will be higher class, with a powerful engine,” – said the head of consulting firm AUTOVAM.
When buying a car, advises Sergei Radetsky, you need to pay attention:
1. How many car owners
2. Why sell the car
3. The machine must not be in loan or mortgage (you can check with the notary)
We will note, according to “Ukravtoprom”, in April, the Ukrainians have purchased 5 697 new cars, or 86% more than a year ago. Compared to the previous month, activity in the consumer market grew by 16%.
“We can speak about stabilization of the situation, – says Director for marketing of group of companies “AIS” Sergey Borovik. – High percentage growth, the market has shown because of low bases for comparison. So, in absolute values at the end of March 2016 we only have about 5000 new passenger cars to 15 000 two years earlier”.
In the first three months the most purchased car brand TOYOTA.With January sales increased from 246 to 797 units (224%). In second place Volkswagen cars (in March sold 629 units in January – 169), and on the third – RENAULT (sales increased from 270 to 535 units).
