During the Spring Festival, the "leader" at home has risen, and the work needs to be coupled with the pick-up and drop-off of the two children at home, and it is urgent to buy another car. The goal is clear: pure electric, not too big, driving and quality is not bad, and it is better to have heat pump air conditioning. According to the budget at hand, the alternative range was finally set between "BYD Dolphin", "SAIC Volkswagen ID.3" and "Tesla Model 3".
Let's start with the BYD dolphins.
The advantage lies in BYD's latest e-platform 3.0, which I have carefully test-driven before, and I am still very recognized for its three-electric technology and quality. Moreover, cheap is also a great attraction, if you buy it, you only need to spend half of the budget, you can save a lot of money.
There is only one reason for exclusion, the daughter-in-law does not like it. No way, one veto.
(Off-topic, BYD Dolphin has sold more than 10,000 for two consecutive months, it seems that as long as the product strength is enough, BYD's ability to create explosive models is still very strong)
Then there's the Tesla Model 3 that I really like.
Advantages everyone understands, the world's first-class electric vehicle brand, vehicle design, technology and manufacturing concepts are very advanced, and the past automotive products are not a concept at all, hot sales is the best proof of market and user recognition. The key is to buy it and have heat, and it is also good to write a manuscript.
In the end, there are many reasons for not choosing it, first of all, the daughter-in-law is not willing to spend too much money on the second car, and Tesla's financial interest rate is not very appropriate. Secondly, due to the lack of success in the German factory, the current Shanghai Tesla factory is still mainly export-oriented, resulting in a delivery cycle that is too long, and it is expected to take 12-18 weeks, which cannot wait!
In the end, the SAIC Volkswagen ID.3 was chosen, which was a compromise choice. The appearance is very pleasing to the daughter-in-law, the price is also appropriate, the key is to have a car! I'm really not used to spending money and waiting for the way of consumption, so let's do it.
However, I thought that the car purchase process was now very simple, and I actually ran a few times before and after, and the process was not too smooth.
After deciding on the model, we immediately went to the SAIC Volkswagen 4S store that we had consulted by phone before, found the sales and said bluntly id.3, the car is understood, don't talk nonsense, just talk about the price! People also simply said, "There's no need to talk about..."
Yes, SAIC Volkswagen officially has a price protection requirement for ID. series products, and the dealer level cannot put a little water on the price of the car. Of course, except for the unified car purchase preferential policy launched by the official, I later grabbed a red envelope of 1288 yuan on the official flagship store of SAIC Volkswagen.
Fortunately, the existing car in the store is completely consistent with the internal and external color configuration that we wanted to book on the SAIC Volkswagen Mini Program before, which is also a kind of compensation.
After a brief chat, the sales said that if they were interested, they could pay a deposit to stay in the car (in fact, P did not use it, and then we went a total of three times, each time it was more sales than customers, and saw less ID). After WeChat transfers 2,000 deposits, wait for the next time you come to sign the contract, pay money and pick up the car!
But the process will obviously not go so smoothly. The next day I received a sales call: you take the time to come over, and the deposit must be refunded to you. What's going on here? Sales mutiny?
Immediately rushed to the store to ask, it turned out that the sales consultant was not familiar with the sales process of the ID. series. Since the sales of the ID. series belong to saic-volkswagen's newly built direct sales system, a series of processes such as booking a car, signing a contract, and delivering a car must be completed in saic-volkswagen's mini program or APP, and the traditional car buying process can no longer be used.
From here, we can also see the determination of the Volkswagen brand to reinvent itself through ID. The establishment of direct contact with users, the insurance policy, the car purchase method in line with the new forces, and the community model have not appeared before the Volkswagen brand.
The applet page that has been spinning in circles
So I re-ordered the Mini Program, paid the deposit, and then prepared to sign the contract. At this time, the sales brother is trapped again, and there is a step of the program that cannot be passed anyway, first questioning my mobile phone, and then suspecting that it is a pot of 4G or 5G signals, and I almost took the mobile phone to the courtyard to walk a few steps.
After a whole afternoon of delays, the sales were completed with the help of a newly arrived ID. series of sales instruction manuals, one phone call for help step by step, two steps and one off-site rescue. Here also need to insert a paragraph, in the process of preparing the contract, there is an official staff of SAIC Volkswagen who added me with the enterprise WeChat, which is a direct connection with the customer.
The content of the dialogue is a bit stylized and official, a look is that there is a template copied and pasted over, and the main thing is to tell me what process there is in the next step, and there will be something to find her later, so that I can make it. However, the next series of work, including delivery, temporary license, insurance, license, after-sales and charging piles, etc., still need dealers to complete, SAIC Volkswagen's direct operation model is not high.
Just in the kung fu of writing the article, when I bought it, I also needed to add money to the free "Kyauk moon Venus" color matching, 3500 yuan
Here's the point, pay for it! After subtracting the discount of grabbing the red packet, the ID.3 Pro Jizhi edition naked car I ordered was priced at 172,900 yuan (the original price was 173,888 pro jizhi version). I wanted to pay the full amount in one go, but the sales said that there was a two-year interest-free, fee-free installment that could be done. There is no cheap, do not take advantage of ah, save this tens of thousands of down payment to buy some stocks ah. This decision proved wrong later, especially after Russia's war with Ukraine ... A shares this green ah, and this interest-free installment is not white, why? Look down.
In the end, the actual payment was 86450 yuan, the loan was 86450 yuan, and the monthly repayment was 3602 yuan. In addition to the car, there are 3,000 yuan of decoration costs and 800 yuan of license fees, including a set of original ID.3 custom foot pads, trunk pads, driving recorders and full car film, which is quite real.
Answer the interest-free installment question above. SAIC Volkswagen provides a thing called "ID beans" for users who intend to buy the ID.series, and the number of ID beans that can be obtained by different models is different, and I can get 18,000 ID.beans if I have an ID.3. The role of this beanie is not small, can be exchanged for a series of pre-sale, after-sales a series of various rights and interests, what financial discounts, lifetime warranty, charging boxes, roadside assistance....., etc., I still silently plan in my heart, a look at the contract stupid, have arranged for me.
The original two-year interest-free and fee-free installment was exchanged for my 9,000 IDs. beans, and I did not discuss it with me! In addition, 5,000 beans are used in the optional package of the head display that has been installed in the current car (originally this is a good send, no extra money), and then counting the 3,000 that the charging wall box must be replaced, there are 1,000 left. Useful can not be changed, stop cooking.
The big New Year does not want to worry too much, quickly pick up the car and leave. However, later, due to the problem of online financial contracts and indicators, it was tossed around for a few days, and the actual pick-up of the car was about a week later than expected.
Insurance this piece is still quite satisfied, the second floor of the dealer store is the insurance department, PICC, Pacific, Ping An have, their own choice. The premium of the last ID.3 is a total of more than 4500 yuan, counting the compulsory insurance part, which is not expensive. In addition, now Beijing traffic management for some 4S stores opened the authority to issue temporary licenses, and there is no need to run another traffic management station to handle temporary licenses, which greatly improves the efficiency of car purchase and does save a lot of time.
Then there is the registration of cards and the application for charging piles, but due to the Winter Olympics + Paralympic Games in Beijing, the State Grid has made every effort to ensure the power supply, and temporarily stopped the installation service of personal charging piles, which needs to wait until after March 15. So this part includes some of the experience of the vehicle and so on, and we will talk about it in detail next time.
