When it comes to Mercedes-Benz SUVs, many people's first reaction may be: GLC, GLE, or even big G. But to put it bluntly, even the entry-level model of the GLC has to be 400,000, are you sure your wallet can hold? In fact, Mercedes-Benz's GLA is also a good version of the choice, even if it is a 1.3T entry model, but is it Mercedes-Benz? Just happened, the Year of the Tiger has arrived, I believe you should also have the desire to buy a new car, today Xiaobian will take Mercedes-Benz GLA 2022 to modify GLA 200 (296,100 yuan) as an example, to give you a calculation, to see if it is expensive to raise an entry-level Mercedes-Benz SUV?
1. Fuel costs
The WLC 100 km comprehensive fuel consumption of this model is 6.78L, but this is only an ideal state, even if you run high speed every day, you may not be able to run to this fuel consumption level. Most of the car owners' measured fuel consumption is about 9L, and Xiaobian calculates it based on 9L here. This car is added to the 95 gasoline, the current xiaobian location of the oil price of 7.82 yuan / L, if according to the xiaobian annual mileage of 20,000km as the standard calculation, that year's fuel cost is about 14076 yuan, the average monthly fuel cost is 1173 yuan (of course, the number of small editor driving business trips will be relatively large, if you usually travel less, the average monthly fuel cost is about 900 yuan).
Second, maintenance costs
First of all, Mercedes-Benz does not provide free first insurance, but 4S stores will generally give away the first maintenance. The maintenance interval of the vehicle is 10,000km each time, and the oil and oil filter are replaced every 10,000km (836 yuan); the air conditioning filter, air filter and brake oil are replaced every 20,000km (360 yuan); the spark plug is replaced every 30,000km (589 yuan); and the spark plug and transmission oil are replaced every 60,000km (3510 yuan). The cost of small maintenance (10000km) is about 836 yuan, and the cost of large maintenance (20000km) is about 1196 yuan. If you drive 20,000 kilometers per year, the cost of three years is up to 60,000 kilometers, a total of 11,798 yuan, an average of 3,932 yuan per year, and an average of 327.7 yuan a month. Of course, this price is calculated according to the official maintenance items set by the 4S store, and consumers can also selectively maintain according to the actual practical situation of their own vehicles, plus if there is a purchase of maintenance packages, the cost will be further reduced.
3. Insurance costs
The current Mercedes-Benz GLA is priced at 274,900-318,400 yuan, according to the price of this model, Xiaobian personally recommends buying a basic insurance. Insurance costs vary depending on the region and car price, taking the Xiamen area as an example, Xiaobian recommends purchase: a third party one million (1630 yuan) + car damage insurance (3681 yuan), plus compulsory traffic insurance (950 yuan), plus some other costs, the annual insurance cost is about 6681 yuan (the first year), the average month is 556.8 yuan. Of course, this is only the price of the first year, and if there is no insurance, the cost of insurance in the next year will gradually decrease.
4. Miscellaneous expenses
In addition to the basic cost, there must be high-speed fees, parking fees, car wash fees and so on throughout the year. A year's high-speed cost is calculated according to 600 yuan, an average of 50 yuan a month; a month to wash the car twice a week, the car wash fee is 30 yuan, a month is 60 yuan; if you do not buy a parking space, if you rent it every month, the average monthly rent of the Xiaobian location is about 300 yuan, then the average monthly cost of all miscellaneous items is: 50 + 60 + 300 = 410 yuan.
If the car does not have scratches and violations, all the above average monthly expenses add up to: fuel costs of 1173 yuan + maintenance costs of 327.7 yuan + insurance costs of 556.8 yuan + miscellaneous expenses of 410 yuan = 2467.5 yuan.
Although most of the friends mainly take loans to buy cars, it is not excluded that there are friends who buy a car in full, so Xiaobian will separately say the cost of the following two situations:
1. If it is a full purchase of a car, plus purchase tax, license fee, decoration fee and other costs, the landing is about 325,800 yuan, and the landing price of this full payment is indeed quite intimidating.
2. If it is a loan to buy a car, the down payment is calculated by 30%, the loan is calculated by three years of loan, the annual interest rate is 4.75%, in addition to the down payment, the repayment amount of each month is about 7238 yuan, that plus the average monthly car maintenance fee, the monthly vehicle expenditure will be 9705.5 yuan, so it seems that the repayment of the car loan is indeed a bit hard.
If you only look at the cost of late maintenance, GLA is really not high; but if you need a car loan, then the first three years are still quite hard, and the monthly salary is at least 15,000 yuan to go up to support the cost, do you think this car is worth starting? Then again, the Mercedes-Benz GLA is also a model worth buying, and in this Year of the Tiger, would you consider taking it home?
