Veteran Driver's Advice In recent years, it is best not to buy a new car lightly, and the three reasons are real
On this day of the New Year, Tesla took the lead in setting off a big war in the field of new energy vehicles. Subsequently, Li Auto announced the ** of all models, including BYD, which are being carried out.
Leading companies took the lead in cutting prices, and surprisingly, the car market began this year. In addition, these automakers also offer zero down payment discounts, making many people feel that as long as they sign a contract, they can get a car of their dreams.
However, someone with an experienced experience gave him a piece of advice: in the past two years, don't buy a new car easily, and the three reasons are true!
01.Now the newly bought car is really not worth much.
Whether it is a new energy vehicle or a gasoline vehicle, the second-hand car market has undergone earth-shaking changes over the years, which has amazed many people.
In short, buying a new car is like a high-speed car, and if you are not careful, you may lose all your money.
The "2023 China Automobile Retention Rate Report" released by the China National Federation is one of them.
Overall, the average value of SUVs is as high as 69., except for mid-to-large SUVs81% and the rest are 60%, while compact and midsize SUVs are even less valuable, with a three-year average value of 56 in 202396% compared to 57 for midsize SUVs72%。
Of course, this is just an assumption, and in reality, usually, this number will be lower than that. After all, second-hand car dealers also want to make money, and it is normal to lower one percent.
Why is the current car worthless? The fundamental reason lies in the change of the market environment, for example, in recent years, new energy vehicles have also launched a first-class war, in order to compete for more market share, the competition between new energy vehicles and gasoline vehicles is increasing, resulting in the price of sedans every year, in recent years, some brands of models, has lowered the price to 100,000.
So, those high-end cars that you saw before, are now ordinary. At this time, buying a new car casually is definitely not a good thing.
Therefore, there are many people who have needs, or people who want to change to a new car, will choose to buy an old car that suits them at a low price, so as to avoid the depreciation of the new car at a reasonable price.
02.The technology of autonomous driving is changing with each passing day.
In these years, technology has developed so fast that the car you bought yesterday will be outdated the next day.
This sentence is a bit exaggerated, but it has to be said that the technological development of this industry is indeed fast. For example, the 800 V high-voltage battery is Porsche's latest pure electric car, representing a million-level luxury car.
And now, this technology has spread to every corner, and some cars under 200,000 are already equipped with 800 volts.
Moreover, the previous pure electric vehicle can be said to be a revolutionary invention, and now, it is said that the semi-solid power battery will be more than 1000 km, which means that the level of ** will be further improved.
With the rapid development of technology, a brand-new car will soon be obsolete by the times.
In the face of this new technological change, instead of spending money to catch up with new technology, it is better to buy a better one first, or wait until the new technology develops to a certain extent.
03.The cost of maintaining a new car is increasing day by day.
Nowadays, cars are becoming more and more intelligent, and various functions are becoming more and more complete, but this has also caused many people to worry, because the more advanced the equipment, the higher the maintenance cost.
Take a Tesla driver in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, was hit by a stone on the road, the car's air conditioning pipe was broken, the driver only noticed when driving the car, the car's lights were broken, how could not be opened, was taken to the maintenance center, the inspection result was that the battery into the water, to repair, you must change a battery, the cost is about 140,000 yuan.
In addition, in the past two years, almost all new models on the market have installed intelligent devices such as on-board monitoring and millimeter-wave radar to improve driving safety and ride comfort. However, it is convenient and expensive to maintain. For example, if a car equipped with lidar is faulty or damaged due to radar, it will cost more than 10,000 yuan to replace one, which is an exaggeration to say that it "can't be repaired".
Moreover, today's automobile manufacturers will use integrated molds to improve production efficiency and improve the performance of automobiles. Such technology has greatly improved the safety performance of the car, but if a part fails during the maintenance process, it must be replaced with a new part, and the maintenance cost can be imagined.
There is also a very realistic example, that is, a Tesla car, in a corner, accidentally hit the wall, and then the car was knocked down, only to be told that the back seat of the car has been shattered, and the repair cost is as high as 200,000. A ** Model Y, only about 280,000. Therefore, in the case of high maintenance costs, it is obviously not worth buying a new car casually.
All in all, the car is selling well now, but considering the cost of updating and maintaining the car, it is still a bit more than worth the loss. Our opinion is that when the new model comes out, we can wait for the technology to be better before we buy it. However, if you think it's too expensive, you can get a new one. However, ordinary people should also consider comprehensively, not just for a new car, but comprehensively.
