Lada Largus in Belarus turned out to be much cheaper - what drivers say

Belarusian dealers of AvtoVAZ have started offering Lada Largus to everyone at reduced prices. car Now you can buy it there for 300 cheaper than in Russia.

Of course, this is a temporary action, but it is by no means formal. The fact is that dealers have a lot of cars in stock, and they all cost less than in Russia.

How is this even possible? After all, cars have to be transported to Belarus from afar, and this cannot in any way affect the reduction in cost. On the contrary, transport costs should increase the price.

But what Russian drivers think:

I heard the official version that there is no recycling fee in Belarus. Therefore, their cars should be cheaper, which is what we are seeing now.

You would first understand the nuances, and then say something. There is a recycling fee in Belarus, and it was recently increased. There are simply benefits for EAEU member states. If they import cars produced in Belarus, then the recycling rates there are low.

And how does this concern AvtoVAZ? They don’t seem to pay for this scrap?

– asks the user “Rebel”

We all pay for junk. It’s just that there is compensation for the percentage of localization. It turns out that AvtoVAZ is in an advantageous position in relation to the same Russian-Chinese joint ventures.

So this same AvtoVAZ management is constantly asking for more scrap. They say it’s difficult for them to compete with foreign brands.

– user “Michael08” enters the conversation

AvtoVAZ is profiting from its own compatriots? Is it just that he sells his cars cheaper to Belarus?

– user “the_flex” is indignant

It turns out that it is so. Apparently, no one in Belarus really wants to buy new Ladas, so prices are being reduced accordingly.

– says user “Veshii”

I know for sure that AvtoVAZ just needs to gain a foothold in the Belarusian market. People don’t buy Ladas there much anyway, although in the last five years the situation has definitely improved. Many sanctions also affected Belarus, and a number of dealers left there too. Now the Chinese are taking over everything, just like ours. It turns out that AvtoVAZ is still fighting for the market. And the fact that cars are cheaper there means they make more money on us.

– user “vasiliiiilin72” spoke out

Oh, guys, you don’t know the party’s politics. A lot of things are sold more expensive in Belarus than in Russia. For example, large household appliances. I don’t know why – it was decided that way “at the top.” But it turns out that this is barter...
