Before the New Year, there should be many consumers who want to buy a car for themselves/relatives, or drive a new car back to their hometown for the New Year.
And friends who have this willingness to buy a car, most of the choices may be about 100,000 yuan of products, this budget can buy a good quality product, and the price is not expensive.
Many friends around me have picked on the eve of the Spring Festival in previous years, and in 2022, Xiao Lu also plans to join the ranks of this "car purchase before the Spring Festival". After saving up for a few years, Xiao Lu has been working for five years and wants to buy a car for himself with about 150,000 yuan. (Note: This story is based on a real case)
The choice of less than 150,000 yuan looks at the joint venture brand
Listening to Xiao Lu mention the matter of buying a car, it was probably in June last year that he was signed in the lottery. His father has a car, but the two people often overlap at the time of using the car, coupled with the policy of restricting traffic, Xiao Lu feels that it is still somewhat inconvenient.
So, after winning the lottery in the middle of last year, he began to have the idea of buying a car for himself. The budget to support this idea is about 100,000-150,000. After more than half a year, we talked about this topic again.
The budget remains unchanged, around 100,000, up to 150,000. In this level, Xiao Lu has not yet determined what brand to choose, but he has made it clear that the model, it is best not to choose SUV products, because his father's car is an SUV product, a family to buy two SUVs? It's really unnecessary. And he's not married yet, and the full load rate in the car is basically zero, so the size of the space in the car is not so important to him.
About 100,000-150,000 car products, most consumers in this price point should choose the joint venture brand. For example, Volkswagen, Toyota, Nissan, etc., these brands have product layouts at this price point. Xiao Lu and I picked out several products, Volkswagen Langyi, Nissan Xuanyi and Toyota Corolla.
Among the products of these three joint venture brands, Xiao Lu's choice is Volkswagen Langyi. Why did Xiao Lu choose this product? Let's talk.
Budget is right, but no car, regret?
The day's shopping process, Volkswagen is our first stop. When we watched the car, it was a few days of the New Year's Day holiday, so there were more people visiting the store than on weekends in the past (the situation where the clerk reacted). After simply registering the information, we entered the exhibition hall smoothly.
When I came to the Volkswagen Langyi exhibition car in the exhibition hall, Xiao Lu and I saw a notice board that read, "The exhibition car is sold, don't move." Therefore, this car seems to be the only inventory car left in the store, and then asked the store staff, now the inventory in the store is the Volkswagen Langyi in the exhibition hall, the current car may have to wait for about half a month or a month, anyway, years ago can definitely arrive.
Subsequently, we have an understanding of the current preferential policies, and Volkswagen Langyi now offers a replacement subsidy of 28,000+ 4,000 yuan, and a comprehensive discount of 32,000 yuan. However, Xiao Lu has no old car to replace, so in his case there is only a comprehensive discount of 28,000 yuan. Therefore, after reading the configuration table, Xiao Lu locked the model he wanted to buy on the 1.5L automatic comfort version of 139,900 yuan.
Although it is "the show car has been sold", we still communicated a little and experienced it in the car. The overall workmanship is certainly not bad, after all, it is Volkswagen, and the space in the back row still has a lot of space even if we sit in it together, and for Xiao Lu, such a space can also bring a good experience when he uses the car in the future (he does not have much demand for rear space). The reason why the 1.4T model was not considered was because the staff said that the waiting cycle of the 1.4T was estimated to be unable to pick up the car until the Spring Festival.
Unfortunately, there is no test drive this time that can provide "if you want to feel it, we have a work car that is also 1.5L can try" . Although the number of kilometers of the work car has exceeded 10,000, it does not prevent it from still providing a good driving experience, there is no problem overall, smooth and comfortable is the feeling that Xiao Lu told me when driving this car.
So Did Xiao Lu make up his mind? No, he hadn't thought about it yet. After leaving the phone, we came out of the Volkswagen showroom and prepared to go to Toyota and Nissan.
But later that afternoon, Volkswagen's staff called Lu and changed his choice. Finally, a Volkswagen Langyi 1.5L automatic comfort version model was ordered on the way, and the waiting cycle was two weeks.
No matter how good the product force is, there is no car and white chat
Next, after coming out of the Volkswagen showroom, we drove 20 minutes to Toyota's 4S store. Toyota's store traffic is always indispensable, although it is lunchtime, but there are also many people in the exhibition hall to experience the product. The more attractive models in the showroom are the Toyota Asian Dragon, Lu Fang and the Corolla we want to see.
About 150,000 of this price, Toyota Corolla is a classic choice, on the road can often see the emergence of this car, but also reflects that this car is indeed high recognition, on the one hand is the brand influence, on the one hand is the product strength of the model, about 150,000 can have a hybrid system, really let many people pay for it.
After registering the information, Xiao Lu and I went to see the exhibition car first. After a while, the staff came over to start introducing product information, the current full range of models discount of about 12,000 yuan, hybrid products sell more good is the elite version of the model, but now the hybrid product inventory is relatively small, if you order a car then need to wait for a period of time. The Toyota Corolla that Xiao Lu looks at is the dual engine 1.8L E-CVT elite version, priced at 143,800 yuan, even if the price of the naked car is about 131,800 yuan.
Later, Xiao Lu still arranged the test drive, planning to feel what experience the 150,000-level hybrid products can bring. The quietness and smoothness of driving at low speeds make Xiao Lu really a bit on top, and the flexible and brisk power of running gives him the desire to buy, and the budget is enough anyway.
Xiao Lu is not particularly concerned about the space in the rear of the vehicle, so he did not experience the rear space of the Corolla model, but he cared about the pick-up cycle, which was confirmed by the staff in the store, and now if you order a hybrid model, the car may have to wait until the next year. But now that there is a part of the stock of the fuel version of the model in the store, the staff asked Little Luchow not to consider it.
Later, Xiao Lu said that "buying Toyota is really not necessary to buy hybrid, or not to count it, if you buy a hybrid, one is to pick up the car and don't know when to mention, and there are too few discounts, and the public discount is close to 30,000." In this way, Xiao Lu denied the hybrid Toyota product, because of the problem of the pick-up cycle, but also because of the problem of 12,000 discounts.
After that, We went to a Nissan shop not far away with XiaoLu. The main passenger flow is all concentrated around the Nissan X-Trail, and the Nissan X-Trail we want to see does not have many passengers to watch. After the introduction of the store staff, the discount of the fuel version model is not large, and the e-POWER model is basically no discount.
Xiao Lu looked at the car and said that he was not interested in this car, although there was a mixture, but he did not expect that Nissan's offers were so small, which was not the same as his impression of Nissan.
Just when Xiao Lu hesitated to test drive, the Staff of Volkswagen came to a phone, which roughly means that there is a car in transit, which is the configuration that Xiao Lu wants, if it is fixed, then the two weeks can arrive, and the car can be taken away before the Spring Festival, and after that, there is the above car purchase experience.
summary
All three cars are classic choices of about 150,000, and there is no mistake in choosing which one, and the pick-up cycle has become an additional consideration under the background of catching up with the lack of cores. Therefore, this time, Volkswagen Langyi has become Xiao Lu's choice in the absence of a hybrid system, not because of anything else, but in the case of anxious use of the car, it is indeed an important factor to give priority to picking up the car.
Looking at the retention rate of several cars, the 2019 Volkswagen Langyi 280TSI, the landing price of the new car is about 159,500 yuan, and the price of the second-hand car after driving 46,000 kilometers is about 118,000 yuan. 2021 Toyota Corolla Dual Engine 1.8L, the landing price of the new car is about 156,100 yuan, and the price of the second-hand car after driving 10,000 kilometers is about 133,000 yuan.
