A brand like Mercedes-Benz is definitely a world-famous luxury big brother in China. In the current situation in China, buying a Mercedes-Benz definitely makes others feel that you have risen to a higher level. At the same time, due to the continuous enrichment of the product lines of these luxury brands, the price of entry-level Mercedes-Benz models has now reached 200,000, so the threshold for buying Mercedes-Benz is really low now, which is why there are so many Mercedes-Benz cars on the street now!
As for the problem of "can't afford it", there is indeed. First of all, the insurance of a Mercedes-Benz car is maintained at around 10,000 yuan this year. Through observation, the quotation given by riders is also around 2,000 yuan. To be honest, for this maintenance price, Jaguar Land Rover said that we would not carry the pot of "sky-high maintenance". At the same time, in addition to the high maintenance price, its maintenance price is also "dare not look straight." The front bumper and the rear bumper must start at five figures, like some ordinary small pieces, and they must also maintain four figures. So be really careful when driving this kind of car. After all, if there is a bump, the maintenance cost alone is enough to make you cry.
Therefore, the entry threshold of Mercedes-Benz is low now, but the price of services such as maintenance has not decreased. It can be said that you drive a 300,000 Mercedes-Benz, but you "enjoy" the same maintenance cost as a million-dollar flagship model. It is really easy to have the idea of "can't afford it".
Bai, a senior auto media person's viewpoint:
Saying that Mercedes-Benz can afford it but can't, not that it loves bad things, but that the maintenance cost is more expensive. But this statement is out of date, because the maintenance cost of Mercedes-Benz has been greatly reduced.
120,000 Mercedes can't afford a small maintenance of 3,000 yuan. It should be said five years ago. At that time, the cheapest model of Mercedes-Benz should be Smart. The terminal price of this car is only about120,000 yuan, but the maintenance cost is similar to that of mercedes benz c, about 3,000 yuan. At that time, the Mercedes-Benz of the six-cylinder engine maintained more than 5,000. So Mercedes can afford it, but it can't.
Today's Mercedes-Benz maintenance costs Today's Mercedes-Benz maintenance costs are already very cheap in BBA, even cheaper than Volvo. The phrase "you can afford it" has long been out of date.

In fact, at present, Mercedes-Benz is not expensive. Mercedes-Benz only needs more than 200 thousand to start, and buying a Mercedes-Benz that is not very advanced is also within the ability of many people. After all, people's living standards are constantly improving.
But why just say that Mercedes can afford it? This is because the zero integral ratio of Mercedes-Benz is the highest among all cars. So what is the whole ratio of zero? Zero-integer ratio is the ratio of the price of each part of a commodity to the overall sales price, that is, the ratio of the sum of the prices of each part of the commodity to the sales price of a complete commodity in the market. The maintenance prices of different automobile brands and models vary greatly, especially in the same price area. The prices of the same parts and the same functional parts vary greatly between models, and the price of accessories directly determines the maintenance cost. Even if the price of a new car is the same, if consumers buy a model with a high zero ratio coefficient, it means that they may have to pay a relatively high maintenance cost in the subsequent use process.
Therefore, the subsequent use cost of the car after purchase, that is, the money to "raise" the car, is mainly determined by the zero integral ratio. Generally, the proportion of the whole car is between 300% and 400%, and some are slightly lower, between 200% and 300%. However, the vehicle proportion of Mercedes-Benz models is basically around 800%, and the vehicle proportion of mercedes benz c-class W 204 even reaches 1.273%. In other words, if you only buy these parts, you will buy 65438.
But we should also look at the zero integral ratio from a rational point of view. After all, the bought car is not a pile of parts, but an organic whole. The zero integral ratio also reflects the efficiency of automobile companies from one level. The zero integral ratio greater than 1000 shows that the efficiency of Mercedes-Benz is more than 10 times of the social average. This efficiency is the most reasonable combination of technology, capital, manpower and raw materials. This fully shows that a good car can't be made by parts alone, and it doesn't make any sense to talk about the overall proportion.
So when you buy a car in the future, you can refer to the zero ratio of various models to help you make a decision.
In recent years, the price level of luxury brand models has dropped significantly, and there are more and more luxury brand models on the street, among which Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi are the top three German brands. As a once unattainable luxury brand, you may know the price of their models like the back of your hand, but how much do you know about their maintenance costs?
What is the price level of BBA after-sales maintenance that dominates the luxury car market?
Today, based on the standard of driving 65,438+05,000 kilometers per year, we will compare the entry-level models of Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series and Audi A6L, which have the highest sales volume among the three major brands, and see what the after-sales maintenance price is in a period of 60,000 kilometers or 4 years, and who spends the most money and who is the cheapest.
Mercedes-benz e-class
In the impression of most people, Mercedes-Benz is very expensive in terms of car price and after-sales maintenance. Is this really the case?
Mercedes-benz e-class
In July 20 14, Mercedes-Benz officially released the "Star Emblem Maintenance Menu", and the maintenance prices of almost all Mercedes-Benz models have dropped significantly.
The maintenance period of all Mercedes-Benz models is usually 654.38+00,000 kilometers or 654.38+0 years, and A and B maintenance are carried out alternately. The specific cost list of Mercedes-Benz E-Class is as follows (taking E 180L as an example):

Let's take a look at the maintenance and parts price list of BMW 5 Series.
Maintenance cost breakdown of BMW 5 Series (520Li) after driving 60,000 kilometers or 4 years:

Audi A6L
Audi A6L is the cheapest of the three luxury medium and large cars in Germany. Is its after-sales maintenance cost also the lowest?
Details of maintenance cost of Audi A6L(TFSI) after driving 60,000 kilometers or 4 years:
Summary: After calculation, the maintenance costs of Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series and Audi A6L are 65,438+08,998 yuan, 65,438+06,665 yuan, 65,438+08,926,5438+0 yuan respectively (the specific prices will fluctuate slightly according to different locations). According to the statistical data, we can roughly judge that the after-sales maintenance prices of these three German luxury brands are: Mercedes-Benz and Audi are of the same grade, while BMW is cheaper than both. This maintenance price, plus more than 10 thousand insurance and various expenses a year, I'd better wait for diaosi to return.
Summary: Thanks to the wonderful sharing of the above car critics, everyone said that Mercedes-Benz is expensive to maintain. However, as far as BBA is concerned, Mercedes-Benz is only developing at an alarming rate. Since Mercedes-Benz is difficult to maintain, why do so many people choose?
