How many products does Volkswagen have? Even if it is a dry car business, the various models of the Volkswagen brand are easy to be silly and indistinguishable. But in addition to the Golf, Volkswagen has another car that I am sure I will not admit wrong, that is, Lingdu. Launched seven years ago under the name of "luxury wide-body coupe", this model has a strong recognition in Volkswagen's "broad" A-class car "matryoshka" product line. Correspondingly, it is the "niche" in sales over the years.
However, after 7 years, the new Lingdu came back with a hatchback structure and frameless doors, and also gained good heat and sales. Could it be that the previous generation of Ling Dusheng was not at the right time? In the case that the core power system has not changed much, will it be a good time to take advantage of the replacement of the model and copy the Volkswagen Lingdu of the previous generation?
1.4T "bottoming", second-hand Lingdu price is very "firm"
Whether it is classifying the Volkswagen Lingdu as an A+ class, or a sports car, in terms of powertrain, from the beginning to the present, it has worn at least 1.4T "bottom pants". The chassis, which is fully independently suspended, is also a big selling point after the "Sagitar incident" of that year. And to be fair, the chassis tuning skills of Volkswagen's models are still excellent in the same price range. As a partial personality positioning, Volkswagen Lingdu, while hanging with resilience, still creates the shadow of the family car.
Even the oldest Volkswagen Lingdu on the market is only a 2015 product. In addition to the entry-level fashion version, the sunroof, leather seats, cruise control, automatic parking and other functions that are popular in the second-hand market are equipped. And the sound effects and mood light design of the vehicle are excellent even in the current high-quality A-class cars. However, on the one hand, there are not many Volkswagen Lingdu vehicle sources for more than 5 years, and in a small number of car sources, the asking price is also about 80,000 yuan. After all, the asking price of the new car was not low that year, although the terminal had a certain price elasticity, but in the second-hand market, there was no price advantage in the horizontal comparison of the same type of vehicle.
Models that have just been released (more than 3 years) to about 5 years are the more common options of Volkswagen Lingdu in the second-hand market. If there is no major accident, or even no sheet metal and paint, the second-hand price of the 230TSI automatic model (1.4T low-power version) can even be hung up to 100,000 yuan. For example, find two 230T automatic block fashion models that meet the above conditions, both are white. One card is 3 and a half years, with a mileage of 40,000 kilometers; the other card is less than 3 years, with a mileage of 30,000 kilometers, and the second-hand asking price is more than 100,000 yuan. There is only one brown one, which has been on the card for almost 5 years, the mileage is 70,000 kilometers, and the asking price is within 100,000 yuan. Although this one is 280TSI, as a former advertising color brown, it is even more unpopular in the second-hand market.
As for those that are still in the warranty period, it mainly depends on the mileage. It seems that most of the owners of Volkswagen Lingdu are just urban transportation, and the mileage is generally rarely seen to exceed the average annual 20,000 kilometers. If the mileage is about 10,000 kilometers per year, and the vehicle condition is high-quality 280TSI (1.4T high-power version) model, the listed price of the second-hand car can even be more than 120,000 yuan. To take an example of the "extremes" seen, a white, 1 year on the card, the mileage of more than 10,000 Volkswagen Lingdu 2021 280TSI DSG Comfort Edition, the second-hand listing price is actually 140,000 yuan. If you count the terminal preferential situation, this listing price is almost equal to only a loss of purchase tax + insurance.
The more "niche" is more cost-effective
We have also talked about a lot of used cars before, in general, after the launch of a new generation of models, the second-hand prices of old models are bound to be impacted. After all, the product innovation of the replacement model is generally quite obvious, so the high-quality second-hand old model is easy to become the object of "leaks".
In the Volkswagen Lingdu, the first half of the sentence is applicable, that is, the change in the product force of the new generation is quite obvious, and even the design is more obviously different from the traditional impression of the Volkswagen model. But the second half of the sentence is not applicable, although Lingdu hangs the Volkswagen LOGO, but aside from the brand buff, and the current heat of the replacement model, in fact, it is still a personalized, niche route product.
And we have also talked about it before, compared to the popular models with fast turnover, niche models can only balance the choice of the market if they have higher "added value". The result is that the collection price of such models is not high, but the cost of ownership will be borne by consumers. But must this mean that the second-hand Volkswagen Lingdu is not suitable for buying? This is also a matter of merit.
First of all, the cost performance of more than 5 years is indeed very general, even if most of the owners of Volkswagen Lingdu do not use cars frequently, but the year is here after all. Considering the loss of the configuration, and many of the previous high configurations are difficult to say on the basis of this age, etc., it is not as convenient to choose other competitive models.
3-5 years of Volkswagen Lingdu, relatively is the recommended range. Although it is out of warranty, most of the Volkswagen models of the same level are similar three major pieces, and the basic products are endorsed there. Only in terms of details, there is no need to choose too good car conditions and too much value preservation. Anyway, it is also a niche model, and it does not map the preservation of value when the next shot is made, and what you buy is what you like. The price of about 100,000 yuan, landing a mature 1.4T power model of Volkswagen, is still a good choice.
As for the second-hand Volkswagen Lingdu within 3 years, considering its market asking price, as well as comparing the major changes in the design and structure of the new Lingdu, I personally still feel that it is better to wait for the price of the new car terminal to stabilize before making a decision. After all, for niche models such as Lingdu, as well as the price system of the Volkswagen brand terminal in recent years, there is still room to observe the price trend of new cars. Even if the budget is limited, you just want to see the second-hand Transit in better condition, you can wait until the price of the new car is stable. Because at that time, the price of second-hand will also fluctuate accordingly.
