New trucks in Russia rose sharply in price: in October their average cost rose by 24.5% and reached 11.21 million rubles. In the secondary market it turned out that the increase was much more modest - 3%, but even there the average price rose to 4.49 million rubles. New equipment costs much faster than used equipment.
The leasing companies also check prices. Against the backdrop of general price increases, they began to refuse discounts and raise the cost of used trucks in stock. The buyer, who previously expected to save money on such a machine, is faced with updating offers from major equipment owners.
As a result, growth affects both directions at once: new trucks become significantly more expensive, and used ones no longer receive the same price support in the form of discounts. For those planning a fleet upgrade, this makes it difficult to choose between a new and a used vehicle. Even moving to the secondary market no longer guarantees the same purchase conditions.
