The advantages of parallel imports are mostly described by a well-known Russian proverb: fish for lack of fish and cancer. Against the background of Chinese crossovers, which dominate the price category of more than 1.5 million rubles, parallel cars look quite competitive, although most of them are also imported from China. But they are made in factories of official brands and carry brands more familiar to Russians.
Since large automotive companies, in particular AVTODOM, Avilon, Klyuchavto, Fresh Auto, are engaged in parallel imports, from the customer’s point of view the buying process looks more or less the same, except that in most cases there is no way to test the selected model. Documents, as a rule, are prepared turnkey, so registering a car shouldn’t be difficult.
Auto companies promise maintenance and spare parts supply, but there may be nuances here. The import volumes of exotic models such as the Chevrolet Groove are small, so it is not recommended to form full-fledged spare parts warehouses for them: if conditional Cretas were sold in Russia by the hundreds of thousands, then Grooves – God forbid , hundreds.
