A few days ago, an automobile dealership group in Guangdong exploded. Since these cars have been mortgaged to the bank, the bank sent people to control these cars at the first time, which directly led to the owners who had already paid the purchase price of the car could not pick up the car, or there was no certificate after picking up the car, and there was no way to get a license plate.
This is probably a major problem that arises under the extreme involution. In 2023, the involution of the automotive industry will be too strong, and many manufacturers, including WM Motor, will go bankrupt and go bankrupt. The domestic consumption power is not strong enough, including joint venture brands, independent brands and other major car companies are competing for the market cake of only two or three million vehicles per year.
As a result, there will be a situation where car manufacturers force dealers, and dealers can only support themselves through loans or financing. If it can't be supported, for example, Guangdong, a bankrupt distribution group, can only go bankrupt and go bankrupt, and this will inevitably become the norm in 2024.
The worst thing about this kind of thing is the consumers who have already bought a car. After all, the car ** is not cheap, and it is hard to make up your mind to buy a car, but as a result, the car brand or 4S store goes out of business, and the dealer runs away overnight, and he has no money, which is unacceptable to anyone.
Even if you get the vehicle, once the car factory closes, there will be big problems in the maintenance and subsequent upgrading of the vehicle.
Insurance companies will also take advantage of this to increase insurance**, because once this kind of car is damaged, it must be a sky-high number when it needs to be repaired and maintained, and it is almost difficult to find the corresponding parts from the market, resulting in too long maintenance time.
Even in the used car market, these cars can become a hot potato. Manufacturers and dealers are gone, and these cars have become "out-of-print treasures". If you go to the second-hand car market, I'm afraid not many people are willing to buy it.
Although we do not agree with the practice of putting the consumer to blame for the accident and not punishing the person who caused the problem, it is indeed a helpless thing at the moment. When we buy a car, we should still keep our eyes open, and avoid buying a problematic car through careful observation and relatively rich knowledge.
Someone said that we are not professionals in the automotive industry, so how can we effectively avoid accidents. But in fact, buying a car is not the same as buying a house, and the information about buying a car is very symmetrical.
Before we buy a car, we can check the sales data of the model we want to buy in the first few months, and then go to the car quality network to see how his quality reputation is.
If a car sells less than 500 units a month, then the model is likely to have major problems, and you should be careful when buying them, so as not to stop the production of the model or the manufacturer goes out of business. At that point, you'll be in big trouble for yourself.
In addition, the more brands and models that promise a lifetime warranty, the more careful you must be when buying. The so-called lifetime warranty is too long, and some car companies don't plan that they can play with you for a lifetime when they promise this thing. And even if it is a lifetime warranty, its harsh conditions make it difficult for you to enjoy the real warranty policy, and it is not as affordable as the ordinary five-year 100,000 km warranty.
This is just like more than 20 years ago, the major pagers launched the slogan of paying 380 yuan for a lifetime with pagers. Because people don't plan to do it for a long time, it's just a one-time harvest. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and it is your own problem to believe it casually.
Finally, we must be vigilant about PPT car-making, the louder PPT plays, the less easy it is to get involved. For example, the car built by a big boss that has been very popular recently, this car has not yet been announced. Personally, I don't dare to buy this car, the group itself is not a car, or it is optimistic about this outlet, and it is just an order from the boss to set foot in it. It's 990,000 impossible, 1990,000 is impossible, do you dare to buy such a car?
We have to do a background check when we buy a car. For example, a car company like Tesla, there is no financial problem, and the sales are quite good, so you can basically build one and buy one. But for car companies like Gaohe, there are major problems with his sales. Although Gaohe denied that there were financial problems, it still needs to be cautious about such a brand.
After all, buying a car is a big deal, we are all ordinary people, and we can't buy a car like a toy and play casually. If you don't want to listen to all of what I say, then the best choice is to buy BYD, Great Wall, Geely, Chery, Changan, as well as Japanese cars, German cars and other well-known car companies, at least they have almost no possibility of running away.
