Auto expert Tselikov: imports of passenger cars increased by 35% in February

The volume of imports reached 46.8 thousand units, which exceeds the figure for February last year (35 thousand). The head of the analytical agency Avtostat, Sergei Tselikov, reported this on his Telegram channel.

“The import of new passenger cars (up to 3 years old) increased by 29% and amounted to 20.9 thousand units. Imports of used cars (over 3 years old) increased by 40% to 25.9 thousand units,” the publication says.

The main suppliers of new cars remain China (67.2%) and Kyrgyzstan (20.5%). As for used cars, in February they were imported mainly from Japan (60.2%), China (21.2%), South Korea (7.7%) and other countries.

Before this, car expert Tselikov said that after 100 thousand kilometers it was time to sell the car. In addition, the expert believes that after 150 thousand kilometers, even for thrifty owners, investments in the car begin to grow, and the likelihood of expensive repairs becomes significantly higher. At the same time, cars differ from each other, and they have their own breakdown statistics.

Previously, the most expensive cars on the Russian market were named.
