Why do many people buy used cars?

Online is not to say that buying a car is actually similar to buying a computer or a mobile phone. Buying a new one is not buying an old one. But in fact, this statement is not necessarily particularly accurate.

Buying new things instead of buying old ones actually has two meanings.

Strictly speaking, buying a new car instead of buying an old one can actually be explained from two aspects.

1 "new" refers to the year of the old and new models. Buying a new car is better than buying an old one, right?

The second "newness" is the degree of use. New refers to new cars, and old refers to used cars. It is better to buy a new car than a used car.

Does it make sense to buy new models instead of old ones?

Is there any reason or basis for these two arguments of buying new things instead of buying old ones? Say it one by one. The first is the choice of new and old models.

There are actually three new ways to get a new car.

The main reason for recommending to buy the latest car online is that the new car has richer configurations and the technology used should always be more advanced. But it really depends on the actual situation.

First of all, the "new listing" mentioned by manufacturers or 4S stores is different. Generally speaking, there are three kinds of statements or situations: annual change, mid-term change and replacement. Just like buying a computer. The boss said it was new. He does business every day and talks about new styles every day.

It is possible that the chip and memory have been changed a little better; You can also use a new motherboard and a new system; It is also possible that I just added two sets of RGB lights to you, which look better and are really called "new style". But in fact, its change range is still different, right?

The annual change of the car is simply to make some configuration and shape adjustments two years after the launch of a model, and the range of changes is relatively small. For example, compared with the 2022 model, the 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan L has changed the air intake grille and headlight group, and the interior and body dimensions have not changed much.

English is easy to understand, it is called "plastic surgery", which translates as "plastic surgery". My face is very embarrassed. Mid-term changes are usually three to four years after a model is launched. The mid-term modified car may have a big upgrade in appearance, power and configuration.

For example, compared with the 202 1 model, the core power of the 2022 Focus has changed from the original 3-cylinder engine to the 1.5T 4-cylinder engine. The gearbox has also been changed from the original 8AT gearbox to 6AT gearbox.

You see, one was scolded for changing the engine; One is cost control, and the gearbox has also changed. Of course, it is also possible to say that this is more advanced. If it is a replacement model, the change may be even greater. Basically, the appearance, interior and even the core technology of the whole vehicle may be completely different.

Whether to pursue a new model depends on the situation.

Therefore, whether you want to buy the so-called "latest car" actually depends on what you just said about "new". If it is changed once a year, the car has undergone cosmetic surgery and the mobile phone has a new color scheme. The new and old models are almost the same, even the CPU is the same.

If the discount range of the old model is large, can you consider buying the old model? If it is a mid-term change, or a new generation, the new car does change a lot compared with the old one. If you want to experience new technologies, new configurations or new designs, it is indeed more worthwhile to buy new models.

But some friends want to say, "If you buy this new generation of cars with new technology, don't you just let the manufacturer be a mouse?" Is there such a truth? From the actual case, it does make sense.

Think about the sagitar axle breaking incident, the Mercedes-Benz E-class shock absorber fork breaking incident, and the braking problem of Honda CR-V, all of which really happened on the newly listed replacement models. So it is reasonable to buy new ones instead of old ones, but it is not absolute.

If you want to find a stable friend, choose an old model with fewer quality problems at this time, or the quality problems have been solved in previous years and have all been repaired now. This old model is actually a good choice.

Does it make sense to buy a new car instead of a used one?

After talking about new cars and used cars, let's talk about the second question, that is, new cars and used cars, or "the choice of used cars."

That's true for beginners.

In fact, we have made a special video on this issue before. For novice friends, it is really better to buy a new car. Is it different from your idea?

First of all, new cars are generally abundant, whether it is safety configuration or intelligent configuration. Such as 360 panoramic image, reversing radar, etc. If it is convenient for novice friends to use, it can directly solve the problem of parking difficulty.

In 20 17, the market penetration rate of 360 panoramic images just exceeded 5%, which was almost invisible and expensive. By 202 1, the market penetration rate has exceeded 20%. In other words, if you buy a used car four or five years ago, you probably won't find many cars in this configuration.

But if you buy a relatively new car, even if it costs about 65,438+10,000 yuan, such as Changan Yidong, Geely Emgrand and 360 panoramic images, reversing is really good.

In addition, if a novice buys a used car, because he doesn't know the doorway inside, the probability of stepping on the pit is still relatively large.

Taizhou Consumer Protection Committee and luqiao district Consumer Protection Committee jointly released 20021Taizhou Consumer Survey Report on Used Car Industry.

It says: 69%, nearly 70% of the respondents said that they had encountered an irregular contract when buying a used car.

Deposit and deposit mixed together, one is a stable deposit, the other is a deposit next to the text, mixed together is cheating, signing a contract does not perform, and this kind of thing.

Not responsible for the accuracy of the mileage in the sales vehicle, which is called "meter adjustment" in the local dialect.

Therefore, these problems are actually quite common. If you don't understand it very well, it is inevitable that the leek will be cut a little long and a little short.

Buy a second-hand car, the car age should not exceed 10 years.

If you have been driving for several years, you still know something about cars in the process, or you are interested in old drivers and friends, then a used car can't be killed with a stick. The right year, the right price, buying a second-hand one may be the best choice.

A car in three years is actually equivalent to a person's youth. This kind of used car is the most cost-effective and worry-free. Cars with a car age of 3 to 6 years basically belong to middle age, although there may be some minor problems such as aging parts and oil leakage.

But I can understand that this is a small problem, and I know who to look for, and I can get it for tens or hundreds of dollars. Then the condition of this car is generally not a big problem, and it can be settled when it is brought back. Cars older than 10 are a bit like the transition period for the elderly. Cheap is really cheap, but if you buy it for maintenance, it may be more expensive than buying a new car.

I know a garage, or buy it when I see something that can still be used, and how much it costs to repair it. Analyze it and you may buy it. Don't touch anything that doesn't even have this concept

The budget is enough, and buying new ones is really better than buying old ones.

So in general, if it is a choice between a new car and a used car, as long as the budget is enough, most friends still buy a new car rather than an old one.

However, if it is the choice between new cars and used cars, it is not so strict or "accurate" to buy new ones instead of old ones, or it depends on what kind of "new" method it is.

Is it just a change in appearance, or is the configuration adjusted, or is it completely different from the previous generation? The kitten becomes a tiger, and the choice is different in different situations.
