“There is import from Europe, but the question is the price”: the situation on the car market in Malinovka

The number of difficulties and peculiarities in the Russian car market remains unchanged. The import rules change almost every month. Now the famous "Malinovka" in Belarus has also changed. Previously, this market was visited by European by cars even came from neighboring countries. Now it is difficult to meet a dozen buyers who, "pricing", walk between the rows. The key problem at the "Malinovka" market is also related to some changes in the import rules. This is especially noticeable in the shortage of models with a certain engine capacity and production date.

Previously, these cars were sold at a bargain price, but now the models have become more expensive or are not available at all. Sellers also play an important role in this. They see a limited number of offers and increase prices for the remaining items. Also, a new “game” has appeared at the famous car market. It is closely related to the dollar/Russian ruble exchange rate. According to Malinovka sellers, a currency fluctuation of 5-6 percent is enough for them to have a queue of Russian buyers.
