A while ago, Ah Guijun had a friend Xiaoming who wanted to buy a second-hand Xuanyi and asked me if I had any car source recommendations. Because he spent a lot of time, visited several local second-hand car markets and did not choose the car he liked, which was also a headache.
Ah Gui asked him about it, and found that he had indeed visited the local market; he could ask about the source of several cars from other places, but The reason for Xiaoming's work, coupled with the epidemic, could not go to the field to see the car, and this matter was so delayed.
As a result, a few days ago, Xiaoming came to me again to inquire: he found a suitable car on the Internet, is it reliable to buy a car online?
Real e-commerce or fake online shopping?
The rapid development of the Internet has turned our lives upside down. Online shopping has become a way of life that penetrates deep into the marrow of this generation. From sewing needles and threads to large digital home appliances, even houses can be ordered online, and almost all categories of goods we can easily buy on the Internet.
However, if you look around, are cars rarely purchased online?
As a car blogger, Ah Gui can also understand: there are many links involved in buying before and after buying a car, especially a second-hand car is more complicated, not simply moving the payment online. Therefore, for some car "online shopping", Ah Gui has always been cautious. Many people actually just put the car source display on the Internet, and then hang up a car dealership phone. After you contact the car dealer, go down the line to buy a car. What's more, what is put on the Internet is actually a fake car source with bright pictures and an absurdly low price, in order to obtain the customer's contact information, and then let the customer choose another car in the store.
But Xiaoming stressed to me: This is a real e-commerce car purchase, car selection, payment are online, and finally the car is like a courier, directly delivered to your hands.
Ah Gui was really shocked at that time, is the second-hand car one step faster than the new car into the era of e-commerce? Am I out of step with the times?
Change your posture to see the massive car, no need to run and break your leg
After listening to Xiaoming talk about the causes and consequences, I knew that he was talking about our "old friend" Melon Seed used car.
When it comes to used cars, melon seeds are definitely a brand that cannot be bypassed, whether it is advertising volume or industry volume, it has always been at the forefront. But in Agui's impression, although the melon seeds carry the genes of the Internet, they are essentially the model of automobile retail, when did they enter the era of pure e-commerce by leaps and bounds?
So I also got off a melon used car APP to see what difference Xiao Ming said about "pure e-commerce".
After opening the APP, select the license city, enter the model you want to buy, and the system will automatically search for vehicles that meet the conditions. Take the Xuanyi that Xiaoming wants to buy as an example, 450 vehicles can be easily searched for in the Fuzhou area, and Xiaoming spent a few days running a broken leg to see more than ten cars.
Not only that, but what makes him feel more reliable is that clicking into the interface of each car will have fifty or sixty details of the vehicle and a full picture, and you can also see the car in VR. At the same time, including the license plate, annual inspection, maintenance records and other vehicles are clear, 256 professional test reports, really everything is huge, there are problems can also consult exclusive customer service. For cars like Xiaoming, the improvement of the car experience can be more than a star and a half: not only save time, but also focus on the information they want to know, without being disturbed. In the past, when visiting the market, the car dealer had been talking and urging from the side, and it was really difficult for him to make an objective judgment.
With this advantage, he is sitting and lying down, and his spare time is used to choose a car on the APP, and now he talks to me about the head, as if he is also a second-hand car "small expert".
The advantages of online shopping are not just convenience
In addition to the convenience of watching the car said by Xiaoming, Ah Gui also found a unique advantage of online shopping when flipping through the APP: the national price comparison.
We want to buy the goods we want at a better price, usually by looking around. If you buy a used car offline, it is basically impossible. After all, there are fewer offline vehicles in a single area, and there are fewer comparable objects in one car and one condition. For example, your city has 10 cars, the information is opaque, and the regional price is high; and there are 100 cars in the country; you can compare prices across regions, which is of course cheaper than when there are only 10 cars.
To Xiao Ming, he suddenly realized that he really felt that the car with the same configuration was indeed cheaper online than offline.
7 days no reason to return the car, the platform can also be bottomed
Just like that, while comparing prices, a week later, Ah Guijun received a message from Xiaoming, saying that he had a crush on a model from Chongqing.
I asked him: "I also introduced you to the source of foreign cars before, you said that you don't consider it, why do you plan to buy a foreign car this time?" After saying that, I suddenly thought that since the melon seeds have always emphasized "e-commerce" to the outside world, is it that the receipt is the same as Taobao Jingdong, and the express delivery has been sent to the doorstep?
Sure enough, Xiaoming said that he communicated with the exclusive customer service, basically got the car condition through online, paid a deposit of 2,000 yuan, and you can pick up the car directly locally.
There is "home delivery", there must be "7 days return", melon seeds here also provide a 7-day test drive period, 7 days as long as there is any dissatisfaction, you can return the car without reason, the car, logistics fees are all refunded.
Now online shopping, seven days without reason to return is already the minimum requirement. Online shopping more, buy everything has the head, a key can be returned, that is really cool. The melon used car also gave the "7 days without reason to return the car" without discrimination, and can test drive the vehicle in different road conditions within 7 days, and make a decision after a better understanding of the vehicle. This kind of trading method, which is not a "hammer transaction", makes Xiaoming very reassured. With this pocket, he paid the deposit directly and waited at home.
On the day of the car inspection, Xiaoming saw the real car at the location of his selected car inspection, and the delivery consultant took Xiaoming to inspect the car one by one, and it was really what he saw was what he got, and Xiaoming was very satisfied. The delivery consultant said on the spot, if you are not satisfied, you can directly reject it, no matter what the reason, even if you are in a bad mood today, you can cancel the order directly in the APP, and the deposit can be refunded on the same day. When all was said and done, Xiaoming did not feel uneasy, obediently paid the final payment, and got the car keys of his dreams.
In the end, after the test drive period, Xiaoming decided that it was it, and the transfer process was also handled by melon seeds, while Xiaoming drove her new car beautifully and lived a car life!
Guiyan Hall
Xiaoming's real car purchase process, so that A Gui has a new understanding of the "old friend" of guazi second-hand car: buying a second-hand car is really as simple as buying clothes on Jingdong and Taobao, and various brands and types have a large number of products to pick at will, the focus is on the whole network price comparison, do not worry about buying expensive and eating dumb losses. Not only is it easy to place an order online, it is easy to deliver a test car, and it can be said and done without a reason to return the car in seven days, there is no other cost, so that Xiaoming who buys a second-hand car for the first time has no worries. Xiao Ming said to Ah Guijun more than once, I really don't know if I don't try it, and I really smell it after buying it!
