What motorists say about car buying schemes in Kazakhstan

Due to the sharp increase in prices for most new cars, thousands of Russians began to buy cars in the border cities of Kazakhstan. Due to this, sales in the first months of 2022 exceeded last year's figures by almost 4%. And this is taking into account the fact that in January-February the volume was lower by a third compared to 2021.

The price of cars in the neighboring country remained at the level of mid-February, today the purchase allows you to save significant money. The current situation plays into the hands of the economy of Kazakhstan and ordinary buyers from Russia. Many analysts are predicting higher prices in the near future due to a surge in demand.

“Gray” dealers have become more active, buying cars and transporting them to the Russian Federation by car carriers and selling them cheaper than the average for the Russian Federation. As long as the cost does not rise, sales volumes will grow, but this will not last long. And here is what motorists say about this:

I took a car in Kazakhstan for almost 40% cheaper than it costs now in Russia. For me, this is a lot of money, if not for this opportunity, I would be left without a car. Everything is simple and fast, there are no problems with the purchase, registration and crossing the border. The Kazakhs are also trying to foist dopas, but the option is still worth it.

A good scheme if the prices have remained at the same level. You can save. But what about warranty service? And if you do it under warranty, do you have to drive a car to Kazakhstan, or can you get service from Russian dealers? Questions need to be addressed before making a decision.

A tempting option, I'll call a relative today, let the prices break through. It is a sin not to take advantage of the situation and not save. The border with Kazakhstan is passed quickly, if you need a car, don't wait. I think the prices will start creeping up next week, dealers will not miss the opportunity to earn more.

I'm scared to go to another country with a large amount of money, and then drive a car. I have heard a lot about Kazakhstan, there are nuances there, if you are going, be careful. I don't scare you, but it doesn't hurt to be extra vigilant.

There was, in many salons there are no longer enough cars, you can’t take them in the basic configuration either. But the prices are old, even the fat version will be much cheaper than our empty one. So it makes sense to take a car in Kazakhstan.
