The automotive market is experiencing a reconstruction stage.
The positive balance of the first quarter in sales of
cars
0 km
presupposes a year of frank recovery, although there is still a
significant gap
between the official values of the automakers and the dealers.
The same is true of the used car market, in which the pace of sales is slower, but where price
premiums
also predominate
.
One modality that offers
unique opportunities
for those looking for new and used vehicles for a lower value than the market handles are online car auctions.
Opportunities of the month.
Through the digital platforms of Adrián Mercado and Narvaezbid.
In the auctions there is everything: lots of
0 km and used vehicles in all states
, which are offered to the highest bidder for different reasons: judicial auctions, renewal of company fleets or remnants of stock.
And the base prices, in many cases, are more than tempting.
During April, Volkswagen and Chevrolet finished off a part of their vehicle fleets, although they are not the only ones because YPF, Telecom, Metrogas and other companies that seek to renew their units are also joining.
Volkswagen
Through Narvaezbid, the German brand is auctioning
10 armored vehicles
from its internal fleet.
Most are Touareg models, although there are also Tiguan, an Amarok pickup and an Audi A8.
All have RB3 level armor, which supports .44 Mg and 9 mm caliber projectiles.
The auction is already active through the website
www.narvaezbid.com.ar
and its closing date is
April 9
, starting at 11 am.
There are seven versions of
Touareg
, the German brand's flagship SUV, in dispute from $ 1,100,000 (value at press time).
They correspond to units between 2009 and 2014, with different kilometers and states of conservation.
Volkswagen offers 10 vehicles with an RB3 armor level.

The base offer is at
$ 1,625,240
, and has 133,000 kilometers traveled.
In turn, the Amarok carries the 180 hp 2.0 TDI engine, 8-speed automatic transmission and 4x4 traction.
Current offer:
$ 2,689,632
.
Finally, an
Audi A8
4.2 FSI Quattro from 2007
is also offered
, which was used as a presidential vehicle during the first administration of Cristina Kirchner.
The vehicle, which will not start (it has missing mechanical parts), had previously participated in an auction but without success.
The current bid is
$ 1,300,000
.
In all cases, the specifications are detailed in each batch and it is
freely accessible
to those who want to consult it.
In turn, as they are armored vehicles, from Narvaez they clarify that in the event that the armor is expired, the homologation and revalidation of it will be borne by the buyer.
The 10 vehicles are located in the beach that the company owns in the town of San Fernando, province of Buenos Aires.

Ford Focus Ambiente
1.6 (from $ 240,000) and a
Ford EcoSport XLS
2.0 4x2 (from $ 340,000), both from 2008, which also do not start, and with a Volkswagen Voyage 1.6 from 2011 (from $ 335,000) that it works.
