Residents of our country have always found places where, for various reasons, you could buy a car much cheaper than at home. In Soviet times, it was Uzbekistan, then Hungary, Germany and Finland. Then went the shaft of used cars from Japan through the Far East. Then the officials got there too. The impression was created - everything, only “Lada” or foreign cars assembled by our “golden” hands.
But no, the car market appeared in Lithuania. Its advantages are obvious:
- Not very far from the European part of Russia.
- The language barrier, when profit looms, disappears.
- The prices are impressive.
Price benefit
For comparison, we’ll go to the car market. Lithuania: Kaunas - let's pay attention to this Lithuanian town. If you ignore the troubles with customs, the car from here will be very cheap. For example, a 2004 car can be purchased here for 85-87 thousand rubles.
Who is buying?
The welcome guests visiting the car market in Lithuania are former USSR citizens from Kyrgyzstan, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Estonia. It turns out that Estonians come for used Swedish cars, which for some reason are cheaper in Lithuania than in Finland.
Kyrgyz and Kazakhs prefer to rent a car here rather than in Poland due to language difficulties. Despite the benefits, the Poles are not going to learn the Russian language, while the Lithuanians are pragmatic.
What are they buying?
An interesting variation in the preferences of buyers coming to the car market in Lithuania. Kyrgyz and Kazakhs drive for Mercedes and BMW; give minibuses to Ukrainians. For some reason, the Lithuanians themselves do not like French cars. Russians are interested in the latest brands of foreign cars.
Due to high customs duties (although prices are much lower, but inexpensive foreign cars for customs costs may be more expensive than the cost of the car), buyers from Russia and Belarus have recently become less. But still, if you look closely, you can make a bargain. If you need a "donor" for a car, the car market in Lithuania is an ideal place for this.
Subtleties
In order to buy a car for yourself or for sale, opinions here are contradictory. Someone claims that all the good dealers are buying up at the entrance to Kaunas, someone is talking about decent savings. It is necessary to pre-ring the models of interest, evaluate the prospects of the trip, prepare documents for entry.
There are no grounds for pessimism, since Estonians and Kazakhs go, we will definitely find advantageous positions. For the sake of wealthy guests, Lithuania becomes very hospitable.
The car market, a photo of which can be seen below, is also famous for its size. Cars are decently equipped, their condition is excellent, they are very cheap in comparison with our similar ones. The question "beaten-unbroken" is already being determined.
The Internet is teeming with a huge number of offers from distributors. Yes, it’s more convenient: no need to dangle, waste time. Only prepayment is a disturbing factor. If you agree, then with full confidence that tomorrow you will not have to look for this driver. There are a lot of car showdowns in Kaunas, if you do not need a solid "car donor" at a reasonable price, then you can always find the necessary parts.
