Dealers said what would happen to cars in the summer

Against the background of weak demand, manufacturers have been offering various discounts for several months for several months, and this practice will continue. Discounts will vary within 50-150 thousand rubles inside one brand, TASS writes with reference to the largest dealers. At the same time, the majority prefer not to provide direct discounts on cars so as not to depreciate the brand.

Discounts can change slightly inside one brand, moving from one model to another, said Nikolai Ivanov, the head of the Department of New Cars of Rolf.

According to Andrei Terlukevich, general director of Avtopets Center Group of Companies, discounts can grow, but it is possible to rise in price of cars themselves. Everything will depend on demand, on the ruble exchange rate and on the Central Bank rate. If the ruble is noticeably weakening, manufacturers can completely cancel discounts on the most popular models.
