The wisdom strategy of choosing a car and buying colors: large love driving, black is the first choice; Delicate car, it is in vain!

As we all know, there are certain rules to follow when buying the color of the vehicle - "big car black, small car white", which can be described as an unbreakable truth when buying a car! Although the black body may seem a little smaller than the actual volume at first glance, for tall models such as SUVs and many medium-sized and above sedans, choosing black can show the domineering side leakage and stable and extraordinary momentum to the greatest extent! Not only is black not easy to peel off or dirty, but it is also relatively easy and labor-saving in long-term maintenance.

In contrast, the body-in-white is more suitable for smaller car categories, such as sports cars and small urban cars. The white and light colors give people a sense of purity and simplicity, and at the same time help to ensure that the vehicle is accurately identified by other drivers in low-light environments, thus adding more protection to driving safety. What's more worth mentioning is that with the help of reflected light, the white body can more perfectly show the aesthetic charm of the car's streamlined design, which is praised!

Family scooter choice decision: SUV or sedan, who is the elf in your heart?

For those who are looking for practicality, both SUVs and sedans have a unique charm. The SUV with a high chassis, with its wide body, spacious interior and good visibility, is ideal for daily short-distance transportation and loading of various items. However, the thermal insulation problems associated with the relatively large body size can lead to higher fuel consumption and a slight lack of handling, which can cause a noticeable vibration sensation especially when driving on highways.

In contrast, sedans are known for their low profile, nimble handling and excellent handling, which provide excellent evasion in emergency situations. Thanks to the reduced wind resistance, the average fuel consumption of the sedan is significantly lower than that of the SUV model. However, in order to guarantee the configuration and functionality of sufficient space, the sedan may lag behind the SUV in some aspects. Therefore, the choice of which vehicle to choose is also based on the daily driving needs of each person.

Car Buying Budget and Brand Considerations: How to Choose Between Domestic Brand and Joint Venture Brand?

The budget for buying a car is undoubtedly a key factor affecting the choice of domestic or foreign brands. For example, if your budget is around 100,000 RMB, you may want to focus on domestic first-tier brands. The powertrain and interior level of these brands are already comparable to those of joint ventures in the same price range. However, under the same budget conditions, the performance configuration of domestic cars may be slightly insufficient, and you need to carefully choose two or three of your favorite models.

If your budget is over 180,000 RMB, you may want to consider buying a second-tier joint venture brand, such as Hyundai, whose products are excellent in terms of quality and performance in this price range. And once your budget climbs to more than 300,000 yuan, then I am honored to tell you that Honda, Toyota and other first-line brands will be the perfect partner for your elegant life! However, it's important to note that both French and American cars are of the highest quality and performance, but they need to be carefully evaluated when buying a used car.

1.Fake the posture of an expert, check the model information!

Before you step into the 4S store, be sure to grasp the rich information of the intended model in advance, so as not to be confused by the sales staff's rhetorical offensive and at a loss! A detailed understanding of the model's dynamic performance and frequent failures, as well as attention to these subtleties, can help you in your car selection.

In the key part of bargaining, you can adopt the following strategies: First, be sure to visit at least two 4S stores and compare them one by one. If it is found that there is a huge gap between the **, then there is a great space for negotiation. Here comes the secret, reminding you to try to search for car trading platforms that are even lower than 4S stores, which will help you explore a shortcut to the lowest bottom line. Along the way, keep in mind that bargaining requires strategy and perseverance, and you need to stand firm and use clever tactics to get a better deal.

3.There are many different ways to buy a car, which one is right for you?

In view of the wrestling battle between the full purchase and the loan purchase, the following suggestions are given: The full purchase of a car can help you greatly save the subsequent additional expenses, which is the most cost-effective choice! However, in addition to the repayment pressure, the financial service fees and various miscellaneous expenses (such as registration fees) that may be incurred after the loan purchase of a car should not be ignored. Over time, these costs may add up to far more than the total amount of funds paid in full. However, 4S stores tend to offer zero-interest discounts or other attractive incentives to boost sales. At this point, if paying in full can save you thousands of dollars, then decisively choosing to pay in full should still be at the top of the list. Conversely, even though the down payment is low, the final cost is still high overall. Therefore, new drivers need to carefully weigh the pros and cons when choosing a car purchase method.

4.Alternating between the old and the new, which one to choose?

Many novices who are on the verge of buying a car may not realize that the potential risks of buying a used car are quite high, especially when it is not easy to distinguish between accident repair or major damage vehicles. Based on the present, whether in terms of reliability or long service life, new cars are undoubtedly better than used cars. Even if the value of a new car decreases over the years, the risk is still relatively small compared to a used car. Therefore, as long as the economy allows, the preference for buying a new car is undoubtedly the safest and most beneficial option. You'll find a more comfortable and enjoyable drive.

When you make up your mind to buy a car, please attach great importance to the long-term maintenance of the vehicle to ensure that the new car can be durable and bring the most continuous convenience to your life.

5.Consume clearly and deal with the real cost!

Recently, I experienced first-hand what it is like to buy a car as a means of transportation for daily operations. After much research, I realized that the cost of driving a car was much greater than I had originally imagined. Taking a car with a market value of 100,000 yuan as an example, the average annual capital investment may be roughly as follows: driving fuel and highway tolls roughly account for about 10,000 yuan. Assuming that your average monthly mileage reaches 1,500 kilometers, and the fuel consumption per kilometer is about 5 liters, the fuel cost is as high as 9 yuan per liter, and the annual cost is 5*9*1500*12=540,000 yuan, which already accounts for half of the budget. It is important to note that highway tolls derived from long-distance road trips also need to be taken into account, and may require an additional investment of thousands of dollars per year. Hopefully, this car cost estimate will help you on your future road to car ownership!

The risk of traffic accidents, as well as the cost of repairs caused by damage, are often the most important costs that cannot be ignored in the process of buying a car, and only take compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance as an example, which requires an insurance cost of about 3,000 yuan. And according to the insurance industry's public **, as far as the third-party liability insurance for cars is concerned, the premium to be paid for a year may reach an astonishing 3,000 yuan! It is worth noting that the cost of long-overdue car insurance will gradually increase, and the cost will continue to rise.

In this busy city life, housing prices are soaring and parking fees are equally eye-popping. Let's take the common residential area as an example, the monthly fixed parking fee is about 100-200 yuan, and the annual parking cost is as high as 3000-6000 yuan. If you need to travel frequently to and from the city center, you also need to take into account the parking fees at your workplace.

In addition, don't forget that there are maintenance costs, car wash costs, etc., which usually seem inconspicuous, and the total of these seemingly inconspicuous expenses will exceed the level of 1,000 yuan every year. For car owners who are new to driving, the monthly traffic violation fines range from a few hundred yuan to thousands of yuan. Therefore, if you want to buy a new car with a budget of 100,000 yuan, you need to invest at least 20,000 yuan per year to ensure the continued use of the vehicle. If you choose to take out a loan to buy a car, paying the principal and interest of 3,000-5,000 yuan per month will undoubtedly greatly increase the financial burden of the family.

In practice, we will be surprised to find that the cost of buying a car is far beyond imagination, and it is by no means approachable, and it is difficult for ordinary families to bear such a burden. Therefore, it has become an inevitable choice for future car buyers to carefully consider the purchase of vehicles according to personal needs, and strive to pursue more high-quality and low-cost or high-energy and efficient models.

In terms of car maintenance and maintenance, efforts to avoid unnecessary expenses can help us save hundreds or even thousands of yuan, thereby effectively reducing operating costs and improving vehicle efficiency. This car repair encyclopedia is like an encyclopedia, teaching people how to avoid stepping on pitfalls and spend money on the edge.

Filters worth thousands of yuan may even have a replacement cycle of tens of thousands of kilometers, however, many 4S stores will encourage customers to replace them in advance, which undoubtedly shortens the service life of the equipment. That kind of project is only once a year, and that is the time we go to the 4S store every month for maintenance. For those maintenance projects, there is no need to rush to hand over all kinds of minor problems to the 4S shop to deal with. In case of problems such as a flat tire, I usually choose to go to a third-party 4S shop or auto repair shop for repairs, so that not only can I ensure the quality of repairs, but also save money on repairs, which is a model of smart shopping.

New energy vehicles used to be my first choice, but after careful consideration, I found that the actual cost advantage is not as obvious as originally thought. Looking at the current models on the market, pure electric models with a range of 500 kilometers abound, but their prices have always hovered in the range of 20-300,000 yuan, which is far from my budget. On the other hand, those electric vehicles that advertise a price of less than 100,000 yuan, although ** seem attractive, but in terms of battery life, they are quite worrisome, and the needs of daily activities cannot be fully met.

More critically, there is a huge gap between the performance of public charging stations and home charging stations. Public charging stations are inferior in terms of speed and energy consumption, costing tens of yuan per charge. However, many residential communities have not yet been able to build a complete home charging infrastructure, and it has become a difficult problem to meet the demand for electric vehicle charging when applying for parking spaces. How do you choose between the many models? Hybrid models consume half as much fuel as traditional gasoline vehicles because they are far more fuel efficient than traditional gasoline vehicles, but unfortunately, the price of new cars has increased by 1%-20%. Add in the cost of battery replacement, and the overall cost over the actual life of the car is not necessarily lower than that of a gasoline model with the same configuration. In addition, the performance of the power battery gradually degrades over time, which will also affect the future evaluation of the residual value of the vehicle.
