There is a popular joke in Audi circles, that is, "A7 is an ideal, S7 is a dream, and RS7 is delusional." Indeed, not to mention RS7, the million-dollar price of S7 alone can already deter many consumers. But if the price aside, is the maintenance cost of this S7 high? Can the average person afford it? Today, Xiaobian will take the Audi S72022 2.9 TFSI quattro (1.0328 million yuan) as an example, to give you an inventory of whether the maintenance cost of this car is high or not?
1. Fuel costs
The comprehensive fuel consumption of this model NEDC 100 kilometers is 9.1L, but this is only an ideal state, after a period of actual measurement, most of the owners' measured fuel consumption is about 15-17L/100km, of course, this is in the urban driving state, if the commuting road is relatively smooth, driving to 13L/100km is not to say no. However, in order to compare considerable analysis, Xiaobian still calculates the actual measurement situation (15L) of most car owners as a benchmark. Because the average annual mileage of each owner is not fixed, Xiaobian here is based on its own annual driving distance of 20,000km to calculate, this car is added to the 95 gasoline, the current oil price of Xiaobian is 9.19 yuan / L, the fuel cost of that year is about 27570 yuan.
Second, maintenance costs
For a million-level model, its maintenance cost is naturally not cheap, the Audi S7 has an initial insurance time of 10,000 kilometers or 12 months, and then the interval between each maintenance of the vehicle is 10,000km. Engine oil and oil filter are replaced every 10,000 km; air conditioning filters, spark plugs, and brake fluids are replaced every 20,000 km; air filters, gasoline filters, and brake oils are replaced every 40,000 km; and transmission oil is replaced every 60,000 km. The cost of small maintenance (10000km) is about 1852 yuan, and the cost of large maintenance (40000km) is about 4288 yuan. The total maintenance cost of the first 60,000km is about 23,069 yuan, an average of 7,689 yuan per year. Of course, this price is calculated according to the official maintenance items set by the 4S store, and consumers can also selectively maintain according to the actual practical situation of their own vehicles, plus if there is a purchase of maintenance packages, the cost will be further reduced.
3. Insurance costs
The cost of insurance actually varies from person to person, and it is normal to buy some basic insurance. Then if you are not careful in driving, it is not impossible to buy a full insurance. Insurance costs vary according to regions and car prices, taking Xiamen as an example, here Xiaobian calculates based on their own habits of buying insurance, recommended to buy: two million more car damage insurance + compulsory traffic insurance for the third party, the insurance cost for one year is about 13376 yuan (the first year). If you buy the same insurance and do not take care of it, the cost will also decrease year by year, and the average annual insurance cost will be about 7690 yuan.
4. Miscellaneous expenses
In addition to the basic cost, there must be high-speed fees, parking fees, car wash fees and so on throughout the year. Similarly, these costs also vary from person to person, so here Xiaobian takes the cost of their own car as a standard, and everyone can add or subtract fees according to this cost combined with their own car habits. A year's high-speed cost is calculated according to 1000 yuan; a month to wash the car, the car wash fee is 30 yuan, a year is 360 yuan; if there is no parking space, if you rent it every month, the average monthly rent of the xiaobian location is about 400 yuan, 4800 yuan a year, and the cost of all miscellaneous items in that year is: 1000 + 360 + 4800 = 6160 yuan.
If the car does not have scratches and violations, all the above expenses add up to: fuel costs of 27570 yuan + maintenance costs of 7689 yuan + insurance costs of 7690 yuan + miscellaneous expenses of 6160 yuan = 49109 yuan, the average monthly cost of 4092 yuan. Even if you buy a car in full, there is no loan worry, and the cost of this car is quite high. But in fact, the biggest head is still the fuel cost, after all, it is a performance car, which enjoys the exhaust roar while the fuel consumption is also a rubbing rise. However, if there is no loan pressure, the cost of this car, the estimated monthly salary of 10,000 can also be afforded, what do you think?
