Decided to buy another car. Second-hand, no older than 3 to 4 years. The prices of new ones are fascinating. :) Since I haven't been on the market for several years, and in general I don't know yet what I want, we study the market - auto.ru - for a start. In all others the same car quotes.
We make a sample - 292 cars.
Of those, the AT (automatic transmission) is 92 cars.
A manual transmission or MT (mech. gearbox) - 200 cars.
Interestingly, at the secondary market cars with a manual transmission are on the average more expensive than cars with a manual. Not only that, cars with ATs often appear below market and quickly disappear, m.o.b. are sold out. Cars with manual transmission below market almost never show up - the ratio is about 6/1.
For those who don't know - new cars with AT are 40-60tn more expensive than those with manual transmission.
Here are, as an example, the last two listings, still warm.
lilita bogachkova: So who buys car models that are not on the European market?
No idea. The search is on hatchbacks. Shown are the last 2 listings, as an illustration. Could be fords or bmws. What's interesting is that cars with an automatic are cheaper than a manual after 3-4 years.
Yuriy Asaulenko: No idea. The search goes to hatchbacks. Shown are the last 2 listings, as an illustration. Could be fords or bmws. The interesting thing is that cars with an automatic are cheaper than a manual in 3-4 years.
I am not an automobile expert, but I wonder, 'What countries make cars worse for the domestic market than for export?' I have not seen Germans making cars for themselves with lower quality than for French or Austrians. But I have a feeling that they do that in Russia since the Soviet times. Perhaps the price difference is related to the mistrust in product quality.
