OREANDA-NEWS. The situation on the car market may change if one of three conditions is met: cars will become cheaper, loans will be issued at 3% per annum, or Russians will start earning twice as much, coordinator of the Blue Buckets movement and head of the ONF working group told NEWS.ru " Protecting the rights of motorists "Pyotr Shkumatov. He expressed doubt that even one of these points would come true. Earlier it was reported that according to the Association of European Businesses (AEB), 55,000 new cars were sold in Russia in March. This is the second minimum value in history, it was less only in April 2020 (38 thousand).

The situation will change only if at least one condition is met. The first is that cars will become cheaper, off-screen laughter is heard here. Secondly, loans for a car will begin to be issued at 3 percent per annum, here it has also become very funny, or Russians will start earning twice as much in rubles. Assess the likelihood of each of these events,” Shkumatov said.

The increase in prices for new cars in the Russian market in March 2022 averaged 40%. This happened due to the devaluation of the ruble, as well as the suspension of supplies. At the same time, premium-class cars rose in price to the greatest extent - by 60%. Their deliveries to Russia were suspended due to anti-Russian sanctions.
