“An honest time capsule for true connoisseurs of Japanese quality and reliability,” the seller says about the car A private seller from Moscow has put up for sale a Honda Civic sedan, released in 1997. Features of the car are its excellent condition and scanty mileage of 6780 km. [caption id="attachment_82303" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Lada Vesta[/caption] The seller reports that the car was purchased from an official dealer, driven only in the summer, and in recent years has not been used at all. Before sale, the car was thoroughly serviced, the title is one owner. “An honest time capsule for true connoisseurs of Japanese quality and reliability,” the seller described his car. Which is better, a new Lada Vesta or a 26-year-old Honda Civic with a mileage of 6.7 thousand km? [caption id="attachment_82304" align="aligncenter" width="728"] Lada Vesta[/caption] They are asking 1.6 million rubles for the car - about the same price as the new Lada Vesta in the Life configuration. True, the Civic will be more powerful (the 1.5-liter engine produces 115 hp). The car is equipped with a manual transmission, the package includes ABS, two airbags, air conditioning, a sunroof, electric windows and electric rear-view mirrors.

AvtoVAZ will not get rid of such an affordable car The information that has appeared that AvtoVAZ is stopping sales of the Lada Granta in the basic Standard configuration for 699,900 rubles is not true. On Thursday, the press service of the Russian automaker denied this information, calling it “fake.” A company representative emphasized that the package for 699,900 rubles remains available on the company’s website. [caption id="attachment_81232" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Lada Granta[/caption] Lada Granta remains as cheap as possible: information about a sharp increase in price turned out to be fake On Wednesday evening, the Telegram channel “Kupi-Lada Lada in Togliatti” disseminated information that AvtoVAZ is removing the Standard equipment from the LADA Granta, which will lead to an increase in the minimum recommended retail price of the model to approximately 850,000 rubles. However, as of Thursday, November 9, the Lada Granta sedan in the basic Standard configuration remained available both on the AvtoVAZ website and in the official price list for the model, without any changes. The press service emphasized that the price for basic versions of LADA models remains unchanged, and, for example, Lada Granta can still be purchased at a price below 700 thousand rubles. It also became known that any current Lada model can now be purchased at a discount under the updated state program of preferential car loans, which reduces the cost of the “basic” Granta sedan to 559,920 rubles.

But it’s not easy to buy such a car, since the production volume is still very small As the insider public Avtograd News reported, black Lada Vesta NG appeared at VAZ dealers. But these are still “rare birds”. [caption id="attachment_81213" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Lada Vesta[/caption] VAZ dealers now have Lada Vesta in a new color “ Vesta cars in black have reached dealers, they are immediately sold out, few of them come off the assembly line, about one in ten, the rest are white. The price of this car [pictured above] with additional options is 1 million 925 thousand rubles, Techno equipment ,” Avtograd News reported. According to the official price list, the Lada Vesta NG Techno costs 1.786 million rubles. So the overpayment for the copy shown in the photo will be 149 thousand rubles. An alternative to the regular black Vesta is Lada Vesta Sportline Black, but it is even more expensive .

Maintenance costs have increased significantly Director of service for the Fresh automobile marketplace, Alexander Nosko, in a conversation with Rossiyskaya Gazeta, revealed information about which mass-segment cars cost their owners the most. On average in Russia, the cost of car servicing this year has increased by 21%. However, some models in the mass segment have become particularly uneconomical in terms of operation. Popular models Volkswagen Polo and Skoda Rapid are mentioned. [caption id="attachment_80786" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Volkswagen Polo and Skoda Rapid[/caption] Volkswagen Polo and Skoda Rapid have become the most expensive foreign cars to maintain The average car enthusiast in Russia drives about 17,000 km per year, which means that in five years he will have to visit the service six times. It will cost the owner of a Volkswagen Polo 68,559 rubles, and the driver of a Skoda Rapid will pay 85,225 rubles. Nosko emphasized that the most expensive aspects in servicing foreign cars today, in addition to fuel, are the prices of spare parts and consumables. Optics for cars from Korean manufacturers have risen in price by 36–47% in 2023, and bumpers, headlights and catalytic converters for Japanese and French cars have increased in price by about 90%, depending on the model. The wholesale cost of transmission and motor oils has increased to 1,000 rubles per liter.
