The name Passat now sounds a little old. Indeed, from the Volkswagen Passat dominating the domestic mid-size car, to the current car that accompanies the first echelon of camry, Accord and other models, the good impression of the Passat seems to have remained in that era. However, the car is a product that can be "nostalgic", and this "nostalgia" can also save a lot of budget for itself, that is, to buy a second-hand car.
This is how Master W calculated, as a person from "that era", his feelings and fate for the VW logo began in Santana 2000. As a self-employed person, under the influence of the epidemic, his business can only be said to be barely managed. So the idea of changing a BBA has long been forgotten, and the Lang Yi in his hand has also been sewn and patched for another two years. After the beginning of this year, the battery that has been changed once on Master W's car has begun to "warn" again. He knew he had to change cars this time. (Note: This story comes from a real case) (Note: The article picture is the 2019 Volkswagen Passat, for reference only)
About 150,000 yuan, can you land a B-class car?
However, even if you don't look at BBA, spend about 200,000 yuan to pick a brand new joint venture medium-sized car, Master W also feels "meat pain". From the perspective of the budget at hand, it is almost possible to come up with about 150,000 yuan, and you can pick an A-class car on the market, which cannot be a high match, after all, you have to consider the landing situation. But after driving for so many years, Langyi still continues to buy A-class cars and feels that it is not interesting. For example, another Langyi? However, the reliable self-priming + AT, the displacement has "shrunk" to 1.5L, and the 1.4T is still an old friend dry double clutch. Therefore, finding a second-hand car with a good price and a car condition of 2-3 years has become his goal.
"Clothes are not as good as new, people are not as good as the old", master W's use of buying a car is mainly to do small business, taking into account the functions of part of the purchase and delivery, so the original Langyi is good. So this time the budget is limited to change the car, but also want to steadily improve it, change the Volkswagen Passat. However, many friends around recommend to see similar Japanese products, such as Accord, Camry, Tianlai and so on. Master W also thinks that the sales of Japanese mid-size cars are not without reasons, and they can also be compared together to save "hanging on a tree".
Biting the teeth of the upper country six for a few more years, the Japanese three musketeers can not afford to buy + can not buy
Judging from the market situation understood in the second-hand car market, the Passat, which is around the budget range of Master W, is basically based on 2019 models. The main push is basically a 2.0T low-power version, that is, 330TSI. There is also a small demand for 1.4T (280TSI) models. 1.4T or dry double clutch, this is not to say. Taking 330TSI as an example, if the mileage is normal (2-3 years, 4-50,000 kilometers), the price is basically floating in the early 160,000 yuan. However, here are the National VI emission standards, that passat is just the time of the National V, China VI switch, if it is the National V model, the car condition is similar, the price is basically less than 10,000 yuan, and even some can be less than 20,000 yuan.
After getting to know the Passat, we turned to the Japanese midsize cars. Honda Accord is very hot in the market, and most of them are recommended for the 2018 models after the replacement of that year. If you take the 260TURBO (1.5T high-power version) to refer to the previous Passat 330TSI model, in the case of close condition, the Passat 330TSI is equipped with the same price as the low match of the Accord 260TURBO. That is to say, the "theoretical difference" between the two cars in the second-hand market (other conditions are basically the same, only look at the residual value comparison), about 5,000 yuan.
This also just shows that the current price and preferential price of the new car will greatly affect the residual value of its second-hand car. The Volkswagen Passat is now significantly more favorable than the Honda Accord, but the gap between the two of them in used cars is not exaggerated. Toyota Camry, which has a very strong price for new cars, is called "shock" in the second-hand market, and its 2.5L second-hand cars are almost in the early 190,000 yuan (close to the previous car condition), and this budget can really look at the new car. Fortunately, the Nissan Tianlai new car offer of the Japanese Three Musketeers is quite large, we plan to verify it in the second-hand market, but found that many stores do not have natural second-hand cars for the time being, so they give up.
After the comparison, Master W also found that the performance of the Japanese system in the residual value of the second-hand car market is generally better than the current Volkswagen brand, but this is exactly the opposite of his appeal. He has a limited budget in itself, and the value preservation products of "Gaopan" like Camry are a bit more than worth the loss. Moreover, from the perspective of his use of Langyi, Master W is not a person who is very diligent in changing cars, and the car is mainly used as a tool and has been held for a long time.
Look back at the very beginning of the Passat as well as the Accord, wet dual clutch with CVT who is durable? He also seems to be half a pound and eight or two, and it doesn't matter. Relative to the Passat can be cheaper, the Volkswagen brand is relatively more emotional and more familiar, so choose passat. As for the emission standards, since the opening time is long, it is better to bite the teeth and go to the country. However, the configuration can only choose the elite version of the 330TSI minimum, fortunately, the 2.0T model configuration itself is not low, mainly the central control screen is smaller, less matrix headlights or something, harmless.
Write at the end:
The daily fuel consumption of the 330TSI Passat is basically 8-9L/100km, and the dual clutch is still impressive for the fuel consumption. As for the maintenance cost, although it is a turbocharged model, if according to the maintenance situation of the 4S shop, the Passat small maintenance cycle is 10,000 km / time, the cost is about 600 yuan, and the comprehensive maintenance cost is still relatively economical. However, the warranty of the new car for three years or 100,000 kilometers is no longer available on this second-hand car, and Master W still chooses to believe in the quality impression left by Volkswagen before.
