Mention buick LaCrosse, most people will think that it is a business, luxury mid-size car, indeed, LaCrosse in the positioning than many of the same class of cars more high-end, the car everywhere the leather makes it look more textured, and the starting price of early 200,000 is not particularly expensive in high-end B-class cars. However, the sales performance of Buick LaCrosse is not ideal, probably because the business atmosphere of LaCrosse is too strong, few people will buy it as a family car, less consumer groups in this market, LaCrosse sales are naturally difficult to break through. However, LaCrosse's own luxurious atmosphere and perfect comfort configuration make it always have a place on the consumer's family car purchase list. So let's take a look at the sales of Buick LaCrosse in the terminal market, and see how the sales policy of buying Buick LaCrosse and the current car are.
Sales performance was mediocre, but the discount started from 38,000 yuan, and there were interest-free cars on the spot
We went to a Buick 4S store in Beijing, and from the sales data in the store, a total of 75 new cars were sold last month, of which LaCrosse's sales were the best, selling 10 units, accounting for 13% of the total sales in the store, and the sales performance was decent. Among the 10 new cars, the best selling car is the "2021 652T Luxury", with an official guidance price of 239800 yuan, which belongs to the full range of medium-equipped models. And among them, black and cyan are the most popular, which also reflects that the owners of Buick LaCrosse are more mature and stable male friends. As for why the hot sale is the "2021 652T Luxury"? The car uses a 2.0T engine mated to a 9-gear automatic transmission, and the maximum power is 68 horsepower higher than that of the low-end model, which is more interesting in the driving experience. At the same time, although the configuration is not so complete, the basic head airbag, reversing image and seat heating are not absent, which can meet the needs of the car in the daily driving process, and if you want to buy a higher gear configuration model, you need to spend an additional 26,000 yuan. Therefore, in the whole series of models, this car is more cost-effective.
Let's talk about the car purchase discount that consumers are more concerned about, the current purchase of Buick LaCrosse is still very good and some configurations also have existing cars, the specific situation is as follows:
1. Buy a car in full: At present, the cash discount of the entire Department of Buick LaCrosse is 38,000 yuan, taking the hot-selling model "2021 652T luxury" as an example, the hard cost includes insurance costs (about 5500 yuan), license fees (about 1000 yuan), purchase tax (about 16821 yuan), then the final landing price of this car is about 225121 yuan.
2. Installment/replacement car purchase: The cash purchase discount for installment car purchase is greater, reaching 43,000 yuan, but dramatically, the installment car purchase needs to pay a financial fee of 5,000 yuan. A simple comparison, we found that the discount of installment car purchase is actually similar to the full purchase of a car. However, Buick LaCrosse provides a minimum down payment of 30%, and there is an interest-free policy in installments, so the down payment of the car is almost 59040 yuan, according to the installment of 18 months, the monthly car is about 7653 yuan. In addition, in terms of replacement car purchase, Buick provides a replacement subsidy of 6,000 yuan for the same brand and 4,000 yuan for other brands.
Details can be found in the following table:
In addition, in terms of existing cars, the "2021 Model 652T Luxury" with the best sales of Buick LaCrosse at present is a current car, mainly in hot black and cyan. However, if you want to buy other models, you need to book the car in advance and wait about 30 days before you can pick up the car. According to in-store sales feedback, most of the consumers who buy Buick LaCrosse are mature men with families, but the age distribution range is quite wide, including young people and some middle-aged people. They buy cars to meet the daily household needs, so the space and comfort requirements are higher, and they also said that for the lacrosse car purchase price, if the discount is not so large, they may not choose this car, and the current preferential landing price is still more reasonable.
Buick LaCrosse is more space and more powerful than the Camry
For many consumers who buy mid-size cars with a budget of 200,000 yuan, in addition to Buick LaCrosse, they will also consider toyota Camry, after all, the same price can buy Camry's high-end models, so how should these two cars choose?
Buick LaCrosse has an absolute advantage in body size, with a body length of more than 5 meters that is rare in its class. Corresponding to the body, lacrosse's performance in space is also excellent, which is more in line with the characteristics of large space in family cars. In terms of power, the power combination of the Buick LaCrosse 2.0T+9AT can have a better driving experience than the Camry. In addition, at present, Buick LaCrosse has a lot of preferential treatment, so the cost performance of the whole vehicle is still relatively high.
However, the Camry is more cost-effective in terms of fuel economy, and only needs to add No. 92 gasoline. And as a Japanese car, its low fuel consumption and worry-free product quality is also obvious to all, power and space is enough to meet the needs of daily driving, although there is no car purchase discount, but at the same price as LaCrosse, Camry has more perfect configuration conditions. Therefore, if you need a family mid-size car for daily urban transportation, the Camry is also a good choice.
So how to choose these two cars, mainly depends on the driving performance and space requirements of the requirements are not high, if you want to feel a better driving experience, then Buick Junyue is a better choice. But just to meet the daily needs of the family, purely as a city scooter, Toyota Camry is more worth recommending.
Then there is the use of the two cars after buying a car.
Buick LaCrosse's first warranty is required to be replaced at 5,000 km or 6 months (whichever comes first) including free oil and filter replacement, followed by a maintenance interval of 6 months or 5,000 km. The minimum cost of small maintenance is 1004 yuan, and the maintenance cost of 60000km for three years is about 15383 yuan, and the average annual maintenance cost is about 5129 yuan, and the maintenance cost is somewhat expensive.
Toyota Camry's maintenance interval is every 10,000 km or 6 months, and the first maintenance is free. In addition, you need to go to the 4S store for a free inspection at 5000 kilometers or 3 months. The cost of small maintenance is about 750 yuan, the average maintenance cost is about 713 yuan per time, the maintenance cost that needs to be paid for driving 60,000 kilometers is about 4280 yuan, the average annual cost is about 1427 yuan, and compared with LaCrosse, it is nearly 4,000 yuan cheaper every year, which is also a big expense.
Let's take a look at the salvage value of used cars.
According to the information queried on the Internet, the Buick LaCrosse 2020 652T luxury model, which is 8,000 kilometers old for one and a half years, has a landing price of about 222,800 yuan, and now the residual value of the second-hand car is about 195,800 yuan.
The Toyota Camry, which travels 25,000 kilometers in half a year, has a landing price of about 196,800 yuan, and now the residual value of second-hand cars is about 192,000 yuan.
summary
On the whole, if you want a medium-sized car with a lot of space and strong power, then Buick LaCrosse is indeed a good choice. And at present, LaCrosse has a lot of cash offers, and there is an interest-free policy for installment car purchases, which is very friendly to consumers who do not have enough budgets, and there are still some existing cars in the 4S store. However, in terms of subsequent maintenance costs, Buick LaCrosse is not cheap in the same class, and the maintenance cycle every six months is also very frequent.
