‘We do not expect the automobile supplies to drop because of General Motors’ recent bankruptcy. Quite on the contrary, the supply will probably go up because Sberbank intends to offer its customers the special preferential terms loans to buy Opels. This is why we presume the demand for the cars will increase in the summer,’ says Avtoban’s Sales Manager Alexei Khorkov.

‘Our show room gets the automobiles from Moscow, where there are still a lot of last year’s cars in store. This will be enough to cover our needs for a year,’ he added.

Meanwhile, General Motors is going through bankruptcy proceedings at the moment. The company used to sell Cadillac, Saab, Hummer, Opel, and Chevrolet on the Russian market.
