UzAuto Motors officially denied information about the expensive sale of the Chevrolet Cobalt Midnight car at dealership centers. This was reported by Upl.uz.
According to representatives of the car manufacturer, dealers do not have the right to independently set the prices of cars, as all prices are strictly regulated by the factory. Earlier, the “Avtostrada” portal reported that dealers could sell Cobalt Midnight cars purchased from the factory for 155.2 million soums at a price of 167 million soums, thus increasing the price.
This price increase was said to help dealers compete with other sellers in the market and provide buyers with the opportunity to purchase the car without waiting in line for an additional payment. In response to these reports, UzAuto Motors emphasized that such illegal actions by dealers are unacceptable.
The company has set the prices of cars clearly, and selling above the price constitutes a breach of the dealership agreement. To ensure compliance with the rules, the manufacturer regularly checks the activities of its partners.
When violations are detected, penalties specified in the contract are applied to dealers. Currently, there have been no reported cases of the Chevrolet Cobalt Midnight being sold for 167 million soums.
UzAuto Motors calls on customers to purchase cars only at official prices to avoid overpayments. In October 2024, UzAuto Motors began producing a new model of the Chevrolet Cobalt in the Midnight package.
The price of this model is 155,231,000 soums, which is 7.3 million soums more than other versions. The new package attracted buyers' attention with its updated design and additional features, which may have led to rumors of a price increase.
The Chevrolet Cobalt Midnight is UzAuto Motors' first model in black with glossy accents, and it has become especially popular among young people in Uzbekistan.
