Some people say that the 21st century is an era on wheels, and as people's living standards gradually improve, more and more families have joined the car-owning family. Buying a car is no longer as out of reach for people now as it used to be, and most people with normal economic income can afford to buy a car, but they can also apply for a loan to buy a car at the bank. Coupled with the fact that major car companies have launched many affordable models in recent years, the popularity of family cars has been improved.
However, as the saying goes, it is easy to buy a car and it is difficult to maintain a car. In the end, the car is not a one-time consumption can be solved, we buy a car home after the need to buy insurance for it, plus the daily driving needs to refuel, every once in a while to send to do maintenance, these miscellaneous costs add up to a lot of overhead. The reason why many wage earners are still reluctant to buy a car despite having money in their hands is because the cost of subsequent car maintenance is too high for them to bear.
For the vast majority of young people who have just entered the society, because the funds on hand are not sufficient, many car owners will choose a 100,000-class model as their first car. So for a 100,000-level car, how much does it cost to maintain a car all year round? A Corolla owner made a calculation.
1. Car insurance
For all car owners, whether they buy an ordinary family car or a luxury car, the first thing they need to do after picking up the car is to buy car insurance for their car. In addition to compulsory traffic insurance, there are several types of insurance that must be bought, such as deductible special insurance, car damage insurance and three liability insurance, after all, no one can guarantee that they can not have an accident today when the traffic situation is more and more complicated, and a little attention will cause scratches with other vehicles. Therefore, the whole set of all the insurance costs have to pay five or six thousand a year, and if the owner is more careful and buys a higher amount of insurance, the expenditure is higher.
Second, come on
Unless you choose new energy vehicles as your own car, refueling is the fate that all fuel vehicles cannot escape. In recent years, the trend of rising oil prices has not been alleviated in any way, so for most car owners, refueling will become the biggest expense after they buy a car. Usually, if a car owner uses the car normally, he or she has to add fuel about 3 times a month. If you have to run several business trips to surrounding cities for work reasons, this cost will be further increased, and the Corolla owner will spend nearly 10,000 yuan a year on oil alone.
Third, car maintenance and repair
No matter what kind of car will be broken, so we need to maintain the car every once in a while. If you find that there is a problem with the car, you must send it to the repair shop or 4S shop for repair. However, the maintenance price of the car is actually difficult to estimate, after all, no one can predict in advance what kind of situation the car will be in a year. Therefore, the owner of the Corolla calculated according to his own situation, and only recorded the average maintenance and small repair costs he carried out in a year, that is, about 2,000 yuan.
Editor's Note:
According to the situation of the corolla owner, the maintenance cost of buying a 100,000-level family car in a year can basically reach about 20,000 yuan, an average of 1700 yuan per month. If it is a loan to buy a car, the cost is much higher. Therefore, for many young people who have just entered the society and have a monthly salary of only four or five thousand, it is not recommended to buy a car in a short period of time, especially for young people who work in other places, it is even more expensive to pay extra rent and other expenses, plus in case of car loans and car maintenance costs, the month-to-month expenses are absolutely unbearable.
