At the beginning of 2022, a big drama was staged, and Secolon directly lowered the price of the 400-class motorcycle to the floor price, which not only had a great impact on the follow-up new cars, but also had a chain reaction on the second-hand car market. In general, the same budget can choose a used model with better performance. So the question is, would you choose a new car or a used car on the same budget?
For this problem, I will throw a brick first, I am more inclined to the quasi-new second-hand car with better car condition, not only can save a series of costs such as the license plate, but also will not lose too much when changing the car in the later stage. However, there are also some drawbacks, if you are inexperienced and easy to suffer losses, it is better to buy a new car with peace of mind. But if you choose the right model and used car dealer, the chance of problems will be much less. The following used cars I think you can start with, you may wish to take a look at it and maybe find the one that suits you best.
The evergreen Tree Suzuki GSX250R has been on the market for many years and its new car prices have been firm. In previous years, the used car market was also a highly traded model. The reason why it has such good results is inseparable from its own quality and quality control.
The appearance of this small sports car now seems to be some aesthetic fatigue, but it is also remarkable, the second-hand price is also very affordable, is the preferred model of many novice riders, and is also one of the models recommended by many veterans with closed eyes. There is also a high market ownership rate of this car, and the advantages in maintenance are obvious, which greatly reduces the cost of playing with the car. With more and more new cars of the same level in recent years, although the current GSX250R is not as valuable as before, as long as you maintain the car properly, the car will not lose too much in good condition, which is very suitable for new riders to choose.
MY22
In the sports car, chunfeng 250SR, we can also pay attention to it, the recent chunfeng 450SR is in the limelight, there should be some owners who will upgrade their 250SR to 450SR, and the price of 2.198W single rocker arm 250SR track version MY22 has just been released, it is estimated that it will have some impact on the second-hand price of the old 250SR.
In terms of performance, the 250SR is at the upstream level of the same class, equipped with sliding clutch, ABS, etc., and the vehicle workmanship is still quite good. The quality of after-sales service is also good. Therefore, the worries of choosing 250SR are still relatively small. The lack comes from this power system, although this single-cylinder engine has good power, but the vibration at high speed is a hurdle that it cannot get around.
At present, the 250SR version on the second-hand market has more track version, ABS version, CBS version, and the latest single rocker arm track version MY22 is still relatively rare. The author recommends choosing the track version or the ABS version, and if the budget is limited, you can consider the CBS version. It is worth noting that Chunfeng's cars are generally equipped with a positioning system T-BOX, and remember to bind your own mobile phone after selecting a second-hand car.
In a number of domestic small sports cars, the Kaiyue 321RR has a strong combat effectiveness, the power performance brought by the 322cc twin-cylinder configuration is chasing 400 down to 250, and the starting price of the new car is only 2.598W, the key is still a single rocker arm. The whole vehicle is tuned in place, has a good driving experience, light control, and with its 151kg of maintenance quality, novice driving is not difficult.
Recently got the news Kaiyue upgraded version of the 321RR is planning to be released, the new car has added a new color, the overall process has been further improved, if the upgraded version of the 321RR price is unchanged or slightly increased in price, then the old 321RR second-hand price should be more affordable.
The advantages of this small sports car are obvious, but the shortcomings are also more obvious. Kaiyue still has some gaps with large manufacturers in the overall quality control, and its products will also have some small problems, as for how to weigh it depends on whether you care more about the price or quality.
The Kawasaki Ninja 400 had the title of "wealth management product" in previous years, when it was difficult to find a car and had to wait in line for a long time to pick up the car, so the price of the second-hand quasi-new car once sold the new car price. However, after the release of the new Ninja 400, the price of the old Ninja 400 returned to rationality, and now if you are lucky, you can find a relatively good Ninja 400 around 4W.
Ninja 400 is able to handle in terms of appearance, configuration, performance, quality, etc., and the power adjustment is also very linear and easy to control, so it is also the beloved thing of many young sisters. The upright cycling triangle makes it cope with daily commuting and weekend mountain running. And with a little modification, you can go to the track to experience the excitement, and many Kinkana enthusiasts also love it.
As for whether the Sectron RC401 will have an impact on the price of the second-hand ninja 400, the author feels that there should be no great threat, after all, Kawasaki's brand value and influence are there, and the ninja 400 has been tested by the market for a long time, and the reputation is very good. RC401 new car 2.88W on the card landed at least 3W more, and then bite the teeth to add points can choose a second-hand ninja 400, in the face of these two who will you choose?
Used cars with a second-hand price of more than 3W and the KTM 390 DUKE around 19 years ago, the price of 21 models is more than 4W. KTM's street car driving style and shape complement each other's sharp fighting style, which is more suitable for riders with certain driving experience.
The 373cc single-cylinder engine has a high compression ratio of 12.6:1, which squeezes out a maximum power of 32 kW and a maximum torque of 36 N·m. The dry weight is only 149kg, which has a good passion driving experience. Precise steering on the handling, sufficient WP shock absorption support, stable frame, coupled with the rare electronic throttle of the same level, will make you feel that the car is at your heart.
The KTM 390 DUKE has obvious advantages in terms of play attributes, but the lack of comfort is mainly due to the vibration of its single cylinder. If you are mainly an urban commuter and a short outing it can make you have a lot of fun. But commuting far away can be easier to fatigue, of course, this feeling varies from person to person. The author recommends buying the 390 DUKE after the 18 models, because the fuel tank before the 18 models is only 11L, and the fuel tanks after the 18 models (including the 18 models) are 13.4L, so that you don't always have to go to the gas station.
In the domestic travel model, Chunfeng 650TR-G is a veteran, the author bought a second-hand 650TR-G has now run 37,000 kilometers, the overall use of good feeling. Especially in the winter in Beijing, when the handlebars and seat cushions are heated up and the windshield is raised, it is a different feeling.
The 649cc side-by-side twin engine is technologically mature and stable. The power provided is perfectly sufficient for the vast majority of riders. Many riders think it's huge and worry that they can't handle it, but the opposite is true. The 650TR-G has a low center of gravity design, which has good stability whether it is linear acceleration or fast cornering, and I can even use it to run Kinkana.
In all motorcycle types, the leisure travel model has higher requirements for the comprehensive strength of the car company, and only those car companies that have economic and technical advantages will get involved in such models, so the vacation tour model is generally the flagship product of each car company, and the price is naturally relatively high. If you prefer a comfortable driving experience, consider the Spring Breeze 650TR-G used car. At present, the second-hand price of state guests in about 19 years is generally around 4W, and the specific price will fluctuate according to the condition of the car, and those who are interested can go to Taotao.
There are many models that can be recommended for used scooters, but VESPA has always occupied a high position in my heart. Although it is not as good as other Japanese brands in terms of performance or electronic control configuration, its tone and temperament are incomparable to other models, and its retention rate is also very high, if it is a commemorative model, the retention rate is higher.
These are just one of the reasons to recommend it, and the most important thing is that riding Vespa can meet a lot of young ladies and sisters, which I am very sure of. Because one of our colleagues bought a second-hand Vespa300, and now when it comes to the weekend, he goes out with his sister, the key is to take a film for others, even if the film is taken, the infuriating thing is that he still dares to show it off to me.
It is worth noting that although the second-hand car is affordable, the water is also quite deep, if you do not have the ability to identify, then find a good reputation and reliable car dealership. Also keep in mind that "you get what you pay for", if the price of a used car is significantly lower than the market price, then you have to put a few more question marks in your mind and don't be impulsive. We have also introduced some second-hand car identification techniques in the past, and you can also take a look.
Back to the opening question, if you have a budget, would you choose a new car or a used car? Let's talk about the comments section.
