OREANDA-NEWS. AvtoVAZ, which in January moved its dealers to 100 percent prepayment in February returned the defer payment. According to the newspaper "Vedomosti" with reference to dealers Lada, the delay will act along with prepayment, by which since February dealers can pay for the order at once, and by parts.

Two dealers of AvtoVAZ say they will work with both schemes, buying prepaid only the most popular model Lada. "We will buy all Lada cars by prepaid scheme", - says a third dealer. With the postponement the maximum margin (discount for purchased vehicles) at AvtoVAZ is 6% and by the prepayment - 10%, he explains. In his opinion, postponement will choose those dealers, who have the most difficult financial situation.

In a falling market (minus 10.3% in 2014, according to the AEB), high interest rates and uncertainty with the exchange rate and inflation AvtoVAZ behaves flexibly, taking into account changes in the conditions of the various dealers, commented the executive director of the agency "AUTOSTAT", Sergey Udalov. This approach will help to ensure the highest possible sales for car plant in today's weak market, he adds. He estimates that in 2015 total sales of cars in Russia could fall by 20-40%. Result of AvtoVAZ is likely to be better than the market has due to the devaluation of the ruble, adds Mr.Udalov.
