There is a car buying boom in the countryside: cars must be bought if they are not used, and many people drive less than 1,000 kilometers a year
Recommendation: 2021 is still the year when the global automotive market has been affected by the epidemic. However, even under the influence of many unfavorable factors, China's economy has recovered rapidly with its excellent ability to cope with the epidemic, and the sales volume of China's automobile market has also shown a remarkable recovery.
The data shows that in 2021, the production and sales of mainland automobiles reached 26.082 million units and 26.275 million units, respectively, an increase of 3.4% and 3.8% year-on-year, ending the decline for three consecutive years since 2018, and related automobile manufacturers also regained their confidence in development.
The author believes that the growth of China's auto market today is inseparable from two major factors, one is that domestic car companies have been recognized by the public in technology through years of independent research and development and technology learning; secondly, the car buying boom triggered by rural areas in China has become the biggest supporter of the entire automotive industry.
It is not difficult to find that in many rural areas today, although there are no luxury houses, "luxury cars" can be seen everywhere.
After all, with the localization of cars, the price of cars is getting cheaper and cheaper, and many rural people want to own a car of their own is not as difficult as before. However, in rural areas, there is a very confusing phenomenon of "buying a car by comparison".
In the rural area of Guangxi, the author's hometown, there is a strange phenomenon of villagers flocking to buy second-hand cars. Logically, an ordinary rural family is rich and wants to buy a car to change their lives, which is beyond reproach.
But the strange thing is that many rural friends can't use their cars at all after buying them, and even say that a family has bought the car back in advance without a driver's license, which is indeed incredible.
The author analyzes that the emergence of the trend of climbing a car to buy a car is mainly due to the following two reasons:
The first reason: buying a car is really convenient for life.
Many people say that rural people love to compare, so the phenomenon of taking out loans to buy a car can also be understood. But in fact, for a family, it is indeed more convenient to travel with a car, warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is more face-saving to walk relatives.
The inconvenient thing is that many friends in the countryside use the car when they go back during the New Year, and may go out to work after the New Year. However, if you want to drive your car to the place where you work, most of them do not have a parking space, and the parking fee in many big cities is hundreds of dollars a month, so there is no need to drive the car out.
The second reason: buying a car in the countryside is not as expensive as in the city.
Rural people buy a car, unlike the city people to spend a lot of money to buy parking spaces, do not have to pay various management fees, even the car wash can also be done in their own free time, so the cost will be much less.
Moreover, the average rural person has less time to buy a car, and some years are less than 1,000 kilometers, even if the fuel cost is expensive, the general rural family can also afford it. Therefore, it is not difficult to predict that the phenomenon of "every family has a car" in rural areas on the mainland will continue to be popularized in the future.
Is it better to buy a house first or a car first?
If you have a spare money in hand, will you buy a car or a down payment first? I believe that the vast majority of rational people choose to buy a house first.
After all, although the house price is gradually stabilizing, it belongs to the product that the family just needs, has the function of preserving value, and belongs to the asset. On the contrary, the car, whether it is a hundred thousand ordinary cars, or half a million, millions of luxury cars, in fact, can not escape the fate of "depreciation" on the ground, and the car is really in nature, it is pure consumables.
Conclusion: Whether you buy a house or a car, you must combine your own situation to do what you can, if you only want to take a loan to buy a car for the face project, then the author believes that it is completely unnecessary.
I don't know what everyone thinks about this?
