The number of car dealerships in Moscow will soon reach one thousand. Now in the capital you can buy almost any car, even Ferrari or Lamborghini. In the fight for the client, salons go to all sorts of tricks. But your task is to find the seller who suits you in all respects.
Dealer "gray", new car
The most famous, but reliable "gray" dealers: "Autoconcept", Gregory's cars.
To choose "your" car dealership from all the variety, determine for yourself what is your priority. Let's say you want to buy a car quickly, only of a certain color and configuration, not pay extra for additional services and equipment, and then go for scheduled maintenance to another technical center. In this case, the so-called "gray" dealers are waiting for you. There is nothing criminal in this, it's just that they are ordinary dealers. Prices in such a salon will be slightly higher than at an authorized dealer, but you can also leave by car on the same day as you pay. At the same time, additional services will not be imposed on you, and additional equipment will not be installed on the machine.
You can also get a loan and insurance there. The disadvantages of such car dealerships include the inability to carry out scheduled maintenance and any other repairs. Sometimes, when applying for a loan, you can get to dubious lenders with high rates. Therefore, when buying a new car from "unofficial", carefully read all accompanying documentation. How to identify a “gray” dealer? Usually, many car manufacturers (Toyota, Lexus, BMW, WV, Renault) prefer to sell their cars only in a mono-brand showroom. These are all German carmakers, business class brands. If a Mazda car stands next to Avtovaz products in the showroom, it is an unofficial dealer.
Buy with a guarantee
The largest multi-brand dealers in Moscow: Major, Block Motors, Avtomir, AutoGERMES, Trinity Motors.
But in Moscow there are also official dealers, on the sites of which different brands are presented ("AutoGERMES", "Avtomir"). These are the so-called multi-brand salons. Cars of different brands (mainly Korean and Japanese mass market) are sold in the same showroom, but they are in different showrooms. What are the advantages of buying a car from an authorized dealer. The prices for cars are set by the manufacturer and are practically the same for all dealers. You will be offered warranty and post-warranty service, technical center services, credit programs of reputable banks. Seasonal promotions and discounts for last year's cars, customer days and presentations are often held.
Among the minuses, one can note the rigid imposition of additional equipment, sometimes a long waiting period for the delivery of the car (for popular models), "jambs" in the work of the manager due to the large customer flow. How to understand that you have an official dealer in front of you. First, go to the official website of your chosen car brand. There is always a complete list of official dealers throughout Russia. You can call the customer support phone number (it is indicated on the website) and they will select the most convenient car dealership for you. Official dealers always sell their cars in well-maintained showrooms, not on the street. Only new Zhiguli can stand in the open air, and even then only for the assortment, so that the buyer can choose the desired color.
