Buying a new car, except for rare collector’s models, will not bring positive income. This opinion is shared by automotive expert and businessman Ilya Nazarov, reports Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

The top manager commented on the situation of one of the publication’s readers. A man bought a new Toyota car and resold it for a higher price with a mileage of 100,000 km. Nazarov, responding, said he had never bought a new car for himself.

“A new car at the time of purchase loses at least 10% of its value, so for all the years of working in the automotive industry I have never bought a new car,” Nazarov emphasized.

According to the automotive expert, given the 20% inflation over the last 3 years, it is unlikely that the seller was in for a big plus. Nazarov pointed out that if you recalculate all the costs of maintenance and maintenance of a car, even if you sell a more expensive car, you can get a significant disadvantage.

However, notes the expert, private carriers and resellers have a positive effect on lowering prices. By selling cars, for example from the United Arab Emirates or China, sellers set the price below similar imported cars. Thus, competition in the market increases and prices fall.

Earlier in the Russian Federation, a new fraud scheme with car buyers was exposed. Before, the buyer played the role of car owner and car sales manager.
