Avito Auto experts conducted a survey and found out how the plans of Russians to purchase a car have changed due to the shortage of new models in dealerships and the rise in prices in the car market.
As stated in a press release received on December 9 by Izvestia, the increase in prices in the car market was noted as a decisive factor when changing plans to buy a car, 59% of respondents, 10% of respondents named the main reason for refusing to buy a shortage of a number of new models.
Among all those surveyed, 44% planned to buy a car in 2021. More than half of them postponed their purchase due to the rise in prices on the market to a later date (52%).
