MP Maksud Kurbanbayev asks UzAuto Motors to explain reasons for increasing car prices

A deputy of the Legislative Chamber of Oliy Majlis, a member of the “Adolat” SDP fraction Maksud Kurbanbayev asked UzAuto Motors officials to explain the reason for increasing car prices. This was stated in the report of the Legislative Chamber.

“First of all, why does UzAuto Motors not announce any increase in prices on its website or in any other media outlets in advance?

Secondly, prices have increased. But consumers have the right to know the reason, don’t they? 

Thirdly, why are the prices of the most demanded and economically popular cars such as Damas, Spark, Nexia, Cobalt and Lacetti increased? The prices of Malibu 2, Tracker, Trailblazer, Equinox, Traverse and Tahoe remain unchanged. Why? 

Fourthly, do the increased prices apply to cars being exported? Why does UzAuto Motors still sell cars for export at a much lower price than for the domestic market? For example, we have Malibu 2 for $30,000, which is twice as cheap as in other countries.

Fifth, while the sales of economic foreign-made cars are increasing year by year in the country, what market laws are in line with the domestic manufacturer’s decision to raise prices in the domestic market?

There are many questions, but no answers yet.

In fact, the demand for the above-mentioned cars is so high. In view of the high demand, it is possible to increase profits by lowering their prices and selling more cars. This is an ordinary market law.

If the national auto industry was transparent on the matters of why the car prices were raised, and what criteria were used to form the increased prices, it would not have received so many complaints,” Maksud Kurbanbayev wrote. 

Earlier it was reported that UzAuto Motors increased the car prices.
