With the development of the times, vehicles have become an important means of transportation in people's daily travel and have become a necessity for some families. And people no longer "end up" with cars like they did a long time ago, but will sell cars according to personal needs when they are not needed, and then obtain large liquid assets or add money to buy a new car.
But how long does it take to sell a new car? In fact, as a value-preserving commodity, vehicles also have their own golden age. Just remember the golden age of the vehicle and sell it after using it for a fixed period of time, you can maximize the profits.
First, the evolution of people's demand for cars
People's demand for vehicles has also changed over time. Since the invention of the automobile in the 18th century, it has undergone a long period of historical change. People's demand for cars has also gradually evolved from a single means of transportation to a transportation product that can be used to make a living. In this history of change, the value of the car is also constantly changing, and its golden age will also change according to its own needs.
1. Essential luxury to show off
In the early days of the invention of the automobile, it was used as a necessary luxury and served as a tool to be shown off by people. At that time, the automobile also served as a single means of transport according to the needs of society. In the era when cars were just becoming popular, the social problems of energy shortages and frequent traffic accidents had not yet swept the world.
Therefore, the car at that time, as a means of transport capable of carrying goods or humans, was a symbol of status and status. At that time, the golden age of the car was in the first three years after the purchase, and its interior design would remain as new as yesterday for three years.
2. Hard currency that can be resold
It took only a few hundred years to change from an ordinary means of transport to a hard currency that could be resold. The number of cars sold is doubling almost every 15 years, and the infrastructure and core technologies of the cars are constantly evolving. When the process of development enters the modern society, the sale of second-hand cars seems to have become the norm in the car sales market.
With the improvement of people's purchasing power, cars are no longer the luxury goods of the past, which are difficult to buy for a lifetime. This kind of transportation has become a means of transportation that many families can have in the short term, and has also become a hard currency to prove its value in the marriage market. After this development, the golden age of the car seems to have been defined by more than just the factor of time.
Second, the factors affecting the price of used cars
In modern society, the factors that affect the price of used cars have become more diverse. In the eyes of old drivers, the main factors affecting the price are nothing more than the age of the car, the number of kilometers run and the brand of the car.
1. Vehicle age
As an intrinsic condition of the car that cannot be counterfeited, the age of the car serves as a measure of the value of the consumable of the car. Generally speaking, the age of the car is calculated from the time of the registration of the car, that is, the car bought back will automatically depreciate even if it is not opened. The degree of maintenance of the car will also affect the price of the second-hand car transaction in some aspects. That's why car insurance comes out, because regular repair and maintenance of the car can effectively increase the price when it is sold again.
2. Number of kilometers
Another important factor affecting the value of a car is the number of kilometers it has. The kilometers of a car naturally refer to the mileage traveled by a car. The car can generally calculate the two concepts of this mileage and the total mileage, and the mileage can be cleared by relevant means, but the total mileage can generally not be cleared.
Some cars artificially change the mileage number when they are sold, but in fact, the associated wear and tear of the car is still there. Therefore, when judging the mileage of the car, we should also pay attention to whether this number has been modified. In general, the less mileage numbers the higher the value of the car.
3. Model and brand
In addition to the inherent wear and tear of all types of cars, the car's own model and brand are also a key factor affecting second-hand sales. The cars we can buy in the market are often divided into mini cars, small cars, medium cars and so on according to the model and size. The smaller the vehicle, the lower the price.
The brand of the car is an important factor affecting the price. However, even brand-name cars have a certain depreciation rate. The current depreciation rate is 11% for the first three years and then decreases over time. The bigger the car, the more valuable it is, the more money it gets after depreciation.
Third, how long is the age of the golden car
The gold price of automobiles also has certain calculation standards, and its calculation standards are mainly defined according to the number of car kilometers. The golden age of cars for different uses varies due to the frequency of daily use.
1. The age of the family car
If the ordinary family car only assumes the responsibility of family travel, the number of kilometers traveled in that year will generally be controlled at about 10,000. If the car brand is not used as a measure, the golden mileage of Volkswagen's models in the market fluctuates between 100,000 kilometers and 150,000 kilometers. According to the frequency of household use, the golden age of family cars is about ten years.
Because once the ten-year period is exceeded, in addition to the number of kilometers, the age of the car and the wear and tear of other parts will also be counted in the main measurement. Therefore, the golden age of selling family cars should be in nine to ten years, during which the actual value of the car is the largest, and the price sold is relatively high.
2. Taxi years
Compared with private cars, the golden age of taxis is short enough. Because the main purpose of taxis is passenger transport, the daily mileage and wear are large. According to the latest car scrapping policy, the maximum service life of small taxis is eight years, the maximum number of kilometers traveled is 600,000 kilometers, and if one of these two conditions is exceeded, it will be forced to scrap.
It can be seen that the scrapping age of taxis is almost equivalent to the golden age of private cars. So in general, the golden age of taxi use should be calculated according to the number of kilometers they personally drive. Driving a taxi within 10 km to 15 km is still within the golden age.
summary
In fact, there are many criteria for how long a new car will take, but kilometers are the most popular measure in the used car market. Individuals should also conduct a comprehensive assessment of their private car before the vehicle is sold. In addition to verifying whether the age and mileage of the car are fake, it is also necessary to pay attention to the actual wear and tear of the car.
If there is a need to buy a second-hand car, in the sales market also need to combine various conditions to compare prices. So do you have a private car in your home? If you calculate according to the current depreciation standards, how much can your private car sell in the used car market
