“Clothing” is above all!

For our country, the car has not become consumer goods. It was and remains a status phenomenon. Along with clothes and intelligence, it is still used to greet and see off people.

That's why our man buys a car, even if it requires superhuman efforts. And under no circumstances does he sell if all the money has run out. Like General Charnota, who walked around Istanbul and then Paris in long johns, but did not even think about selling his revolver.

At the same time, it is unusual for our people to think about such concepts as cost of ownership. And this is not a lack of foresight, this is genetics. Previously, the call to measure seven times and cut only once remained only a slogan for generations, but now the specifics of the time have been added to it. After all, cars went on sale only 15 years ago. And they stood in line for decades, creating in themselves and their descendants the desire to get behind the wheel at any cost.

Today, when there is another crisis in the country, not everyone can afford to drive to work every day in their own car. And before it wasn’t really necessary. Especially in those cities where there is a metro. But once you bought a car, it means you have to present it to society. Simply put, indicate pleasant changes in your own status.

And so a survey was conducted on the Internet, which revealed that 66% of respondents continue to use the car every day, because for now they have enough money for everything, including travel. But 34% already answered that they do not use a car due to lack of money, but do not plan to sell the car.
