It's time to go home for the New Year. Although the Flag established last year has not yet been achieved, but when returning home to face relatives and friends, the "human design" of "successful people" cannot be overthrown. At this time, the question arises, how to exchange the limited money in the pocket for a larger face? The following cars may be able to provide some answers.
Volvo S80L
The S80L has been on the market in China since 2009 and is produced by Changan Volvo. Obviously, this is also a domestic version that has undergone an extended wheelbase. At present, the S80L, which is about 10 years old, has a second-hand price of about 60,000 or 70,000. Buying a luxury brand executive car at such a price is also a cost-effective choice.
The early S80L only had two power versions of 2.5T and 3.0T, the gearbox was all 6AT, and later the 2.0T with 6-speed wet dual-clutch version was introduced, and on the 14 and 15 models of the S80L, the 6AT gearbox was used back. Although the time for the S80L to be listed and sold is not short, it has not undergone major changes or replacements during the period, and the difference between the 09 model and the 15 model is not a world of difference.
As Volvo's flagship sedan that year, the S80L series has electric sunroofs, leather seats, and the front and rear rows of models with mid-matching and above are equipped with seat heating, which is indeed a practical configuration during the New Year.
Cadillac SLS Sylve
A few years ago, an elongated Cadillac was still a big attraction at the wedding, although we most people can't control such a super long car, but the Cadillac of that era is definitely a luxury car. SLS Isaac is a masterpiece of Cadillac of that era.
If the Volvo S80L above is still a bit subtle, then the aura of this SLS Saiwei should be strong enough. There are many versions of SLS Saiwei, with displacements of 2.8L, 3.0L, 3.6L, 4.6L, and since 2011, it has also been equipped with a more efficient 2.0T engine.
From the price point of view, SLS Saiwei is slightly lower than S80L, and it seems to be more cost-effective. SLS Saiwei all series with electric seats, and even high-end models also have seat massage, and the comfort configuration is still in place.
The modern Veloster Phase One
If the S80L and SLS Seway two cars look too "masculine" and not suitable for women, then this Phase One must pay attention. The shape of the small sports car looks like a petty bourgeois atmosphere, and this car was also one of the few imported Korean cars.
If you are ready to buy and play, the 1.6T Phase One has a maximum power of 204 horsepower and a maximum torque of 265 Nm, which is also a small steel gun model. Driving such a beautiful and fun car home for the New Year is indeed a good choice.
Although from the price point of view, Phase One is not as cost-effective as the above two cars, but fortunately, The use cost of Phase One is lower, the age is closer, and the maintenance can save some money.
Chrysler 300C
Finally, it is time to "amplify the move", purely from the perspective of face, there is almost no more suitable than this car. The old 300C looks exactly like a Rolls-Royce, and it does look a little different from other cars on the road, more powerful than cadillac SLS Saiwei's aura.
The old Chrysler 300C the most 2.7L version, now the price is basically 3-5 million, the 3.5L version will be slightly more expensive, but not too much difference, and the 5.7L version is the famous HEMI engine, the price is significantly more expensive.
At that time, the positioning of this car was indeed biased towards high-end business, so the size was very large, the length exceeded 5 meters, and the wheelbase exceeded 3 meters, but the rear space was still similar to today's A-class sedan, after all, it was an old American car, which could be understood. And the configuration of this car is also high enough, leather seats, electric adjustment, seat heating, multi-disc CDs, and even the rear screen are all standard. However, after so many years, whether these configurations can still be used depends on fate.
summary
In fact, there are many such models, the old Land Rover Skywalker is the price of 30,000-50,000, and the domestic first-generation Audi A6 or even more than 10,000 can be bought. However, although these cars are cheap to buy, they are not cheap to use, and the maintenance costs alone are already quite large, coupled with the fuel consumption performance of the "gas station partner", the cost of use can be said to be very high. Finally, I wish everyone a happy Chinese New Year, "human design" does not fall!
