Official website of "Avtolotsman Penza": how to find and verify authenticity

The first thing to start with is to make sure that you are on real dealer website, and not a clone or fraudulent resource. The official domain of "Avtolotsman" is autolotsman-penza.ru (or its mirrors with the attachment skoda.). Please note:

• 🔒 Green padlock in the browser address bar - confirms a secure HTTPS connection.
• 📍 Address and telephone numbers in the header of the site - must match the data on Google maps (Ternovsky St., 55a).
• 📄 Section "Documents" — the official dealer has scans of Škoda Auto Russia licenses there.
• 🚗 Online configurator — on a fake site it is often missing or it works with errors.

Fraudsters often create copies of websites with domains like autolotsman-penza-official.com or skoda-penza-sale.ru. To avoid being scammed, always check your contacts with official sources: for example, through the service search for dealers on the Škoda Russia website. There, “Avtolotsman” is listed under the dealer agreement number RU-000123 (check the current number with the manager).

⚠️ Attention: If the site offers a loan at 0% without checking your credit history or sells Škoda Octavia 2026 is cheaper than the official price list - this is a 100% scam. Škoda Auto Russia prohibits dealers from selling cars below the recommended retail price (RRP).

1. Selecting a model and configuration. Use the online configurator on the dealer's website or come for a test drive. Please note VIN decoder - it will show where and when the car was produced.
2. Availability check. Some models (eg Enyaq iV) are delivered to order with a waiting time of up to 3 months. Check with the manager exact delivery date and the ability to track order status.
3. Registration of the contract. Carefully read the clauses about penalties for refusal to purchase (usually 5–10% of the cost) and the conditions for returning the advance payment.
4. Payment. The dealer accepts cash, transfers and loans from partner banks (Sberbank, VTB, Alfa-Bank). When paying by card, check that the terminal belongs to Avtolotsman (Avtolotsman-Penza LLC should be indicated on the receipt).

If you are buying a car on credit, pay attention to CASCO insurance. Avtolotsman cooperates with the insurance companies Ingosstrakh and RESO, but you have the right to choose any insurer. The main thing is that the policy meets the requirements of the bank (usually full CASCO with a deductible of no more than 50,000 rubles).

⚠️ Attention: If the manager insists on obtaining additional services (for example, an “extended warranty” for 150,000 rubles), request written confirmation that without it the manufacturer’s warranty is not valid. By law, the dealer does not have the right to refuse warranty service due to the lack of paid options.

Test drive at Avtolotsman: how to sign up and what to pay attention to

• 🎧 Noise level. B Kodiaq at a speed of 100 km/h the Shumka should drown out the engine sound by up to 65 dB (check with the app Decibel X).
• 📱 Multimedia work. Connect your phone via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto — if the system slows down, it may be a software glitch.

What to do if the manager refuses to provide a test drive?

How to check the history of a car by VIN on the Avtolotsman website

If you buy Škoda with mileage in "Avtolotsman", be sure to check its history according to VIN number. The dealer provides the report free of charge, but the data may be incomplete. Here's how to check it yourself:

1. Find the VIN number in one of the following places:
   • 📄 In the PTS (line “VIN”).
   • 🚗 On a plate under the hood or on the driver's door pillar.
   • 🔍 In the online car card on the dealer’s website (section Used cars).
2. Enter VIN into one of the services:
   • Official Škoda decoder (will show the equipment and production date).
   • Autocode (accident history, traffic police restrictions).
   • CarVertical (mileage, number of owners).

Check the data with what the dealer says. For example, if the report shows mileage of 50,000 km, but the interior shows 30,000 km, this is a reason to refuse the deal.

Pay special attention to:

• 🚨 Road accident. If the car has been in a serious accident (for example, with damage to the side members), it is not worth buying, even at a big discount.
• 🔄 Number of owners. Optimal - 1-2. If more, there is a high probability that the car was in a taxi or rental company.
• 🔧 Warranty status. Check to see if the Škoda warranty applies (it usually does not transfer to the new owner if the car is older than 3 years).

⚠️ Attention: Avtolotsman sometimes sells used cars that were previously leased from corporate clients. Such machines often have hidden wear (for example, worn silent blocks or clutch). Always ask for a complete service history with receipts.
