Affected by the epidemic and the shortage of global auto parts supply, many car companies have reduced production and stopped production, and some models have the phenomenon of "new cars are difficult to find" and "pick up cars for several months", in such an environment, the popularity of the second-hand car market has become more and more intense.
According to CCTV financial reports, the current hot sale in the second-hand car market is some quasi-new cars with shorter age and less mileage, and the price of individual models is even higher than the new car guidance price!
The supply of new cars is insufficient, and the used car market is hot
Affected by the supply chain, the used car market has undergone some obvious changes. According to a number of second-hand car dealers, consumers who chose second-hand cars in the past were more concerned about the price, condition and mileage of the vehicle, but recently consumers are more concerned about "whether they can drive quickly".
For used car consumers, including purchase taxes, insurance and other costs, the price of used cars is generally cheaper than new cars, more cost-effective, and there is no longer such a long lifting cycle as new cars, which is the main reason for the hot sales of used cars.
In addition, with the cancellation of the relocation policy and the implementation of policies such as online transfer of archives, the circulation of second-hand cars has become more convenient, and consumers will be more simple and convenient to buy second-hand cars.
Quasi-new cars become the "fragrant food" of the used car market
According to data from the China Automobile Dealers Association, in the first quarter of this year, the proportion of used car transactions in the national used car market within 3 years was 29.75%, an increase of 7.72% over the same period last year.
Some second-hand car dealers said: many models in the new car market need to wait, and there are increased sales, while some quasi-new cars are more cost-effective, so they are more popular.
The reporter found in the investigation that due to the large demand for quasi-new cars and the tight supply, the price of some second-hand cars quasi-new cars is even more expensive than the new car guidance price.
For a model that has suspended production, the new car guidance price is 308,000 yuan, while the price of the quasi-new car is close to 400,000 yuan, which is close to 100,000 yuan!
Some second-hand car dealers have explained the reason: quasi-new cars are not easy to collect, thousands of kilometers of cars in addition to the purchase tax has not saved too much money; moreover, some popular models of quasi-new cars because of their popularity, the scope of collection is not limited to the local, resulting in more fierce competition for acquisitions, the purchase price of quasi-new cars has also risen.
In addition, in recent times, many new cars have announced price increases, and the price of second-hand quasi-new cars will also increase with new cars.
Be wary of the risks posed by price inversions
According to CCTV financial reports, due to the hot sales of quasi-new cars, the turnover period of second-hand cars with a small number of kilometers has accelerated significantly, most of the quasi-new cars can be sold within a month or so after arriving at the store, and the funds occupied are relatively fast, so it is relatively common for second-hand car dealers to buy quasi-new cars in the market recently.
In response to such a phenomenon, some experts remind second-hand car dealers to be wary of the risks brought about by price inversion: the quasi-new cars in this period are very good to sell, but it is still necessary to adjust the proportion of quasi-new cars and normal second-hand car age in a timely manner according to the needs of the second-hand car market, and prevent economic losses caused by the sudden price reduction of quasi-new cars.
