A few years ago, many, planning to buy a car, opted for prestigious and expensive models. The crisis phenomena in the world economy have significantly corrected the consumer behavior of citizens. Nowadays, decisions are made in a balanced way, based on real possibilities.
Your car - price and quality
A vehicle for personal use not only provides the owner with an additional degree of freedom, but also imposes certain obligations. An adequate person wants a car to have the following characteristics:
- practicality;
- attractiveness;
- reliability.
In modern terms, the higher the price, the better the car. However, dispassionate practice does not always confirm this thesis. The most expensive and reliable car is often not very practical. And the reason for this may be the lack of suitable fuel, spare parts or consumables in the area.
It is easier for a literate consumer to navigate the daily flow of offers. A status car, which means an expensive car, is bought for trips to relevant events and territories. A workhorse, a car for commuting and shopping, should be unpretentious and inexpensive. It is important that over time the vehicle does not fall out of the nominal price category.
Experts and analysts regularly form a list of cars that lose value immediately after purchase and after leaving the salon. Future car owners are advised to periodically review such lists and delve into the intricacies of the pricing policy.
7. "Emotional" Chevrolet Aveo
It takes time and systematic effort to gain acceptance in the automotive market. It is very important to maintain two-way communication with the target audience. Forming the concept of development of the Chevrolet brand, the authors focused on the needs and preferences of the youth sector of consumers. A big burden fell on the shoulders of the exterior designers. As a result of an integrated approach, a car with an attractive and balanced appearance has appeared on the market.
The appearance of the next modification of the Chevrolet Aveo in the lineup always attracts the attention of interested parties, although it does not cause rush demand. According to current rules, the cost of a car is determined by a set of options. The price of a basic machine is 650 thousand rubles. In three years, the vehicle can be sold on the secondary market for 420 thousand. Elementary calculations show that the car for the expired period loses in price 35%.
6. Porsche Cayenne - a representative of the elite segment
The line of cars under the Porsche Cayenne brand is produced by the concern of the same name, which is headquartered in Germany. Inheriting the best traditions of the automotive industry, the designers use ideas and technical solutions that have been proven in practice. Close cooperation of specialists from Porsche, Audi and Volkswagen brought excellent results - comfortable and reliable cars appeared on the market.
Already at the design stage, announcements were published that Porsche Cayenne was targeted at the category of wealthy consumers. The cost of the basic model is currently 3.2 million rubles. Practice shows that after three years of operation, the sale price in the secondary market decreases by 39.1% - the owner can sell his favorite car for 1.95 million rubles.
5. Prestigious Lexus GX460
Off-road vehicles in Russia are treated with respect and even inner trepidation. As a result of intensive year-round operation, the Lexus has the following shortcomings:
- high fuel consumption;
- rigid suspension;
- weak battery.
Despite these "weaknesses", attention to the premium SUV is not waning, cars are found on highways in all regions of the country - both in the city and in the countryside.
The purchase of a new car will have to spend at least 4 million rubles. The specific amount is determined by the packaging, insurance payment and participation in ongoing promotions. According to rating agencies, the cost of a vehicle after three years of operation decreases by an average of 39.4%... The buyer should be aware of this in order to rationally manage the available financial resources.
4. The pride of the domestic car industry - Lada Priora
The attitude towards Russian-made cars in their native land is for the most part skeptical. Practice shows that there are objective circumstances for such a position. At the same time, in recent years, one cannot fail to notice a significant improvement in the manufactured models. Lada Priora appeared on the market after a thorough correction of the previous model. The car turned out to be reliable, economical and unpretentious in operation.
For several years, the model occupied the first positions in terms of sales. Of course, in comparison with cars of American or German assembly, Priora is still losing. However, as the well-known proverb says, give only a time limit - our companies do not intend to give up the struggle for leadership.
Today Lada Priora loses in price for three years of operation almost 40% of the nominal value... The average price in the salon is 400 thousand. On the secondary market, a "running" copy can be purchased for 240 thousand.
3. Old acquaintance ZAZ Chance
The older generation of Russian citizens well remember the small car under the name "Zaporozhets". The car was popular and in steady demand, although it served as an object for sharp jokes and sarcastic ridicule. Over the past twenty years, in cooperation with well-known car companies, Ukrainian engineers have created a pretty decent car. ZAZ "Chance" is a modern car, which very quickly won the recognition of domestic motorists.
A new car of the basic configuration can be purchased in the showroom for 315 thousand. In the secondary market, cars with three years of experience can actually be sold for 185 thousand. It is easy to calculate the loss in value - about 41.5%.
Used "Chance" is bought reluctantly. This is due to the fact that the market is full of better quality budget cars of Chinese and Russian production. In addition, spare parts and consumables are not supplied regularly, and the price of parts shows a steady upward trend.
2. Comfortable KIA Forte
Conceptually, the car is aimed at representatives of the middle class, rational and pragmatic people. During development, priority was given to the following areas:
- affordable price;
- comfort;
- safety.
Modest Koreans and spoiled Americans were the first to test KIA Forte. Sophisticated consumers have noted the strengths and weaknesses of the new model. And only after several years the dealers began to supply the car to the Russian market.
Well-thought-out marketing schemes and unpretentiousness of the car made it possible to build up a solid sales volume in a short time. In a car dealership, a basic configuration car is offered for 650 thousand rubles.
New cars are selling well. However, after three years of operation, it is not so easy to sell a vehicle even for 375 thousand. The secondary market is full of lucrative offers and, as a result, in three years, KIA Forte loses 42.5% of its original value.
1. Practical Volkswagen Passat
There is no particular need to dwell on the characteristics of German-made cars. Suffice it to say that the Volkswagen Passat consistently ranks second in the world in terms of sales.
It is important to note that the car is updated and modernized from generation to generation, taking into account the requirements of the market. Today, consumers are offered a choice of a wide range of models that are focused on meeting specific needs.
For the reliability and safety of the vehicle, the consumer has to pay the corresponding price - a car of the basic configuration in a car dealership is bought for 1.4 million rubles. Polls show the purchase is worth it. At the same time, in the secondary market, the same model after three years of operation can be found for 770 thousand rubles.
Research convincingly demonstrates that "Passat" within three years loses up to 45% of its original value... It is useful for the consumer to know about this, and for the manufacturer - to think about the reasons that led to this situation.
The quirks of modern economics
Reputable experts are increasingly forced to record and acknowledge a noticeable decline in the quality of passenger cars. Famous brands from America, Asia or Europe no longer guarantee a long overhaul period. To keep the car in working order, the car owner is forced to visit the service center almost every month - in some cases for the next computer test of the engine or to replace consumables.
In fact, a modern car is "tied" to the service station. Many owners simply do not know how to service the car on their own and cannot. This is one of the reasons that encourages people to sell a car after three years of use in order to buy a new one and not leave the service center.
The current situation is also known to those who do not have the funds for a new car. They have to "knock down" the price by all available means, bargain with the seller on the secondary market. And, as a result, used, but prestigious and expensive cars, which are in good working order, are significantly devalued.
