In addition to reuniting with family during the seven-day Spring Festival holiday, some people who have the intention to buy a car will also take advantage of the holiday to see the car, or directly place an order to bring home their favorite car. Buying a car should be a happy thing, but every time the car buying season comes, consumer complaints about buying a car also show an upward trend, what does this prove? Although there are still many good people in the world, it is indeed necessary to be vigilant against individual sales or merchants setting up many consumption traps for your own interests, so if you want not to be regarded as a big wrongdoer, you must learn the ability to avoid pits.
Be clear about the configuration you want, don't be led by sales
Q: What is the commission on sales? A: Performance! In addition to how many cars were sold, the amount of cars purchased was also involved. The price of high-end models is high, and the commission will be more naturally sold. Often when looking at the car, after a rendering of sales words, you will be blinded by lard for a while, and 10,000 or 20,000 will be accidentally spent more. And if you calm down and think about it, it is likely that if you spend this 20,000 more, you will change to another low-end model. So first be sure to compare the differences between different configurations in detail to see which configurations you really need before making a decision. At the same time, it is also necessary to remind everyone that high-end models will not have a better retention rate because they are high-end, but for novices, the reversing image of some high-end models and the practicality of front and rear radars are still very high.
The details of the car purchase contract can not be less!
The car purchase contract is often drawn up by the seller in advance, but after all, the money to buy the car is not a small number to see the contract, and it is very important to clarify the details. The most easily overlooked point is that some consumers do not care about the incomplete filling of dealer information in the contract, but in fact, when signing the contract, both the buyer and seller must write detailed information, such as name, certificate number, contact information, office address, etc. are indispensable. Secondly, the purchased model information should also be detailed and accurate, including the brand, model, which year model (such as the 2022 model), model series, and model configuration and exterior color. Finally, be sure to specify the date of pick-up. Under normal circumstances, even if the dealer does not have a car manufacturer, the time to pick up the car is about 3 months at most, and the car can usually be mentioned in about 15 days.
Existing cars have add-on content, if you don't buy an add-on bag, you have to wait!
First of all, if you want to buy a car without suffering losses, you must not be too anxious, because the sales will give you too many reasons. For example, the color you want is gone, the configuration you set has to wait, the current car has already installed these things, anyway, you also want to buy these things, it is better to buy this addition... For optional or additional mat dashcams and other configurations, if you don't mind the price difference or think that the 4S store is selling well, then you don't have to get tangled, just take out your wallet. But if you want to buy a car you like, you must not be afraid of "waiting". After determining the pick-up time with the sales, the details of the model are also reflected in the purchase contract, so don't be afraid to wait a few more days.
Double guarantee is required by the manufacturer to buy?
"Double warranty" refers to maintenance and warranty, and the dealer will package and sell them to customers, and explain during the sales process that this is what must be bought. Some consumers will find that after learning about some dealers, they are indeed selling "double guarantees". But what needs to be told here is that manufacturers will not require consumers to buy "double insurance". If you like this car and don't want to buy "double guarantee", and the dealers have formed a "tacit understanding", you don't admit it, call the manufacturer directly to complain.
Are there "additional conditions" to qualify for the offer?
The car purchase information discounts and gift packages seen on the Internet are quite tempting, and many of the preferential content in the store are mixed with some "additional conditions", such as if you want to enjoy a more favorable price, you must take a loan to buy a car. You know, the loan is a profit point for the dealer, the so-called wool out of the sheep small cheap we can not occupy, but there should be a discount you don't want to trick me, if you have any doubts continue to call the manufacturer on it.
When picking up the car, you must carefully and carefully inspect the car!
How important is a car inspection? More important than looking at the contract! First of all, stocking cars is a big no-no. Inventory car generally refers to the inventory time of more than 6 months of the car, this kind of car is not can not drive but face more than 6 months of inventory need to carry out a certain degree of maintenance of the vehicle, the oil, filter cleaning, replacement, battery life will also be affected. Therefore, inventory cars are not impossible to drive, but spending money on new cars to buy inventory cars is really a big deal. The nameplate on the passenger side, the nameplate in the engine compartment and the vehicle certificate all specify the date of manufacture of the vehicle. The car depends on whether there is much difference between the production date on the window and the production date of the vehicle, the number on the window represents the year, the point represents the month, the point before the number is the first half of the year and vice versa represents the second half of the year, the point before the number minus 7 is the production month of the glass, and the point after the number is subtracted by 13, and the result is that the number is the month of production.
What cannot be ignored here is that the tires of the vehicle must be checked, especially the car that is more than 4 months after the production date, it is likely that long-term parking will hurt a fixed place on the tire, and the vehicle will shake when driving.
Do you have to wear a car coat to protect the car?
Thinking from the consumer's perspective can capture the hearts of consumers, which is the "king" in sales skills. Then again, whether it is a salesperson or a dealer, there is nothing wrong with wanting to make money. After all, everyone has a profit, and the market can be virtuous circle. But whenever the car lets you put on the car clothes, it is better to be cautious. First of all, is the car clothes good? The answer is yes, when encountering some small scratches, the car clothing will play a certain protective role in the car paint, and in the event of an accident, the cost of the car clothing insurance company will also make a claim. However, car clothes are not a one-time consumption, some cheap car clothes will be yellow, dull and affect the beauty in a year, and better car clothes will also be replaced in three or four years. So for some cars with relatively low prices, there is really no need to wear clothes. Over the years, more money is spent changing the clothes than the car is scratched and damaged. But for cars of more than 200,000, especially luxury cars, car clothing is still very necessary.
People evaluate cars
I have always disliked a phenomenon, that is, to find someone to buy cheap goods, or because relatives and friends sell this thing, hoping that the other party will give themselves a cost price. But what is the cost price? Which is not related to the cost of transportation, rent, and personnel expenses? Moreover, everyone does not make money, and the final result is that everyone has no money to earn. Therefore, when buying a car, it is better to bargain or to discount, the purpose is not to make the dealer unprofitable, but not to spend money in vain, improper injustice.
