If there is only one car at home, the next step is to change to a luxury brand, which model is suitable?
This problem has troubled many of my friends around me, and they have also found solutions that meet their respective needs, bought SUVs or bought MPV. Before adding the "luxury" attribute, there are many ways to decide this problem, once the luxury attribute is needed, there are only three answers to the problem, none other than Mercedes-Benz, BMW, audi.
This question was thrown to me by a very good friend of mine, and in the end he chose the Audi Q5L, how did we pick it?
450,000 to make a friend, must be a luxury brand
It has been almost 5 years, Xiao Wu's father drove this second-hand Citroën to him to practice his hands, crashed several times, repaired several times, and finally trained the car. No, since last summer, I have been talking about changing cars, and after the Spring Festival, I was dragged to ask me to help the staff officers.
His car purchase demand is very simple, want to sell the citroën in his current hand for a luxury brand, the demand is two points, the first is cost-effective, the second is the power to be good. With a budget of about 450,000, there is no room for upward floating, but the products he wants only include the Mercedes-Benz GRC, BMW X3 and Audi Q5L.
As soon as I heard about this budget and the car he wanted to buy, I told him directly that the most likely one was the Audi Q5L, which often had the highest terminal discounts among the three. After that, I asked, what are Volvo and Cadillac's considerations? He refused, because his colleagues around him opened a lot of BBA, not to compare, but to feel that the products of these three brands are more reliable.
I didn't want to argue with him, and finally accompanied him to see these three products.
Audi Q5L, value for money is really OK
After watching Mercedes-Benz and BMW, Xiao Wu planted grass is the M Obscure Night Suit version of BMW X3, but there are not many discounts, and the price of landing may have exceeded his car purchase budget. On our way to the Audi 4S store, Xiao Wu was calling his daughter-in-law to discuss the loan to buy a car.
If the loan is approved by the daughter-in-law, it is likely to choose bmw X3. But after that, the offer of Audi Q5L did give Xiao Wu a surprise, this Audi dealer is where I worked before, and there are some familiar relationships, and it is also my old friend who received us that day.
We directly asked two questions, how much is the discount now, is there a cash car? My friend told me that the current discount is about 70,000 for ordinary models, and if it is a Sportsback discount, it may be about 80,000; the current car, without Sportback, there are several ordinary models.
To be honest, this preferential treatment really surprised Xiao Wu. After Xiao Wu looked at the configuration table, he felt that the 40T luxury dynamic configuration was a good choice, and there were still many optional items. What power he does not care, low power 2.0T he feels that it is enough, and the 45 model price is still high, it is easy to exceed the budget.
I asked my friend to calculate the price for him, and the final landing price was well controlled within 450,000 yuan. Xiao Wu is very interested in the optional configurations of steering wheel heating and front seat heating, and wants to choose, but it may take a while to pick up the car after the optional, but there is a car in the store that is in transit with some options. My friend recommended that "if the configuration and color are suitable, it is actually quite valuable to order this, that is, the landing price may float up a little."
Xiao Wu did not think about this problem, first said that he was going to test drive a lap. After the test drive, he said, "I don't feel much of a difference, anyway, the three cars are quite comfortable, I can't fault it, I want to buy it, but the Audi Q5L Price is really suitable, more suitable than those two." After that, Xiao Wu fixed the Optional Audi Q5L on the way, and it is expected to pick up the car at the end of February.
Why did Xiao Wu choose the Audi Q5L, and why did he give up Mercedes-Benz and BMW?
A gallop that is about to change, a BMW rejected by its lover
At first, he wanted to see the Mercedes-Benz GLC, so we went to the Mercedes-Benz 4S store first, and although this generation has been on the market for several years now, it does not affect its hot sales. I thought I could have a good high offer, after all, I have been selling for so many years, and when I asked in the store, the discount was up to 45,000.
The sub-low product price of 429,200 yuan, although the landing price is within 450,000 yuan, in line with Xiao Wu's needs, but he feels that it has been so many years, the discount is not high, and after buying it, it is likely that there will be a replacement model in a few years. It's a bit worthless to think that, although it's Mercedes-Benz, it's really not necessary to buy such a car because of this; but it should be said that Mercedes-Benz can't really fault it in creating an atmosphere in the car.
Without test driving the Mercedes-Benz GLC, we both left and went to turn BMW.
In the BMW store, seeing the new BMW X3 Xiaowu of the M Obsidian Night Suit was really moved, even if the discount was small and the total price exceeded the budget, he also wanted to choose such a car. Especially after the test drive, it is more exciting, about 450,000 to buy a high-power engine + four-wheel drive BMW, it is indeed not too much, really want. However, due to the landing price exceeding Xiao Wu's car purchase budget, he then "applied" to his daughter-in-law to see if he could get a loan to buy a car? The answer is: Impossible.
When this idea was rejected, Xiao Wu could only choose the model on the BMW X3 was the introductory 25i M sports suit version, with regret and reluctance, we drove to the Audi store, and then there was the above car purchase process.
Did not choose Mercedes-Benz, not out of its own product strength, after BMW X3 and Audi Q5L have been replaced for several years Mercedes-Benz GLC is still the same, Although Xiao Wu does not care about this, but combined with the experience of the two competitors after the replacement and Mercedes-Benz's preferential strength, let him feel that it is not worth spending money to buy such a car. BMW X3, if he has money he will not buy Audi, this car is rejected by his daughter-in-law.
summary
Don't forget that the first premise of Xiao Wu buying a car is that the cost performance is appropriate, although the product strength and design sense of BMW X3 have been improved to a certain extent after the rebranding, but the over-budget is still counted. Turning our heads, we saw the Audi Q5L with a discount of about 70,000 yuan, and it was precisely because the price was right that we didn't hesitate to book the car.
Pay attention to the retention rate of several cars, 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC, the landing price of new cars is about 486,100 yuan, and the price of second-hand cars after driving 33,000 kilometers is about 408,000 yuan. The 2020 Audi Q5L, the landing price of the new car is about 451,300 yuan, and the price of the second-hand car after driving 26,800 kilometers is about 335,000 yuan.
