The Japanese system hedges its value, and it is just a matter of deceiving people who are not well-informed! With a loss of 40,000 yuan a year and a half, the Camry of 130,000 yuan is here!

Even in 2023, there are still people who talk about Japanese value preservation, but in fact, this statement deceives those who are ill-informed.
What is the premise of value preservation? The price of new cars is stable, and the price of Camry's new cars has recently reached 134,800.
In a year and a half, the price of a new car has been discounted by 7%, and no matter how much you maintain the value of your second-hand car, it is impossible to be more expensive than a new car, right?
GAC Toyota Camry
Manufacturer's guide price: 179,800-269,800 yuan
Body wheelbase: 2825mm
It is powered by 1:2.0 liters (177 Ps and 207 Nm) + CVT
It is powered by 2.5 liters (207 Ps and 244 Nm) + 8 automatic transmissions
Powertrain: 2.5L (178Ps) + E-CVT (diesel-electric hybrid)
I believe that many people have recently swiped this picture of "Camry 134,800".
The picture comes from the Internet
After seeing the so-called "buy Haoying and get Fit away" in the first half of the year, but in fact, it is a comparison of the preferential range to the activity of "sending a car", many people have doubts about the authenticity of this information.
However, we confirmed that this was indeed true.
At present, in the auto trade channel, the 23 Camry does have a car source of 134,800 yuan (store insurance is required), and it is still a more expensive 2.0GVP leading model (guide price of 189,800 yuan).
Although the price of 4S stores cannot be so low as the auto trade channel, the price of auto trade can be said to be a weather vane, and perhaps 4S stores will be able to achieve the same price soon.
In the past, some radical netizens claimed that "the Corolla is only worth 80,000 and the Camry is only worth 130,000", and now it has indeed come true.
Thinking about that year, there is no need to "think about it", in fact, in the first half of last year, Camry's discount was only 12,000 yuan.
According to the current discount of 55,000 yuan, it is equivalent to a year and a half, and the price of a new car alone will lose 43,000 yuan! Even if a second-hand car retains its value, it is impossible to sell it more expensive than a new car, right?
At this time, some people may say: Camry is big because it will be replaced in March next year!
Unfortunately, however, the new Camry (9th generation) basically inherits the current generation of the body-in-white (8th generation). Perhaps the biggest difference between the two is that the new generation uses the intelligent car machine jointly developed with Huawei.
The ninth-generation Camry
So since the difference between the ninth generation and the eighth generation is not so big, and the ninth generation does not continue the current discount, can consumers accept it?
After tasting the sweetness, consumers just want more, just look at the Buick Regal.
As for those friends who are still insisting on "Japanese value preservation", I can only say "It's okay to lie to your brother, don't deceive yourself".
FAW Toyota Asia Dragon
Manufacturer's guide price: 199,800-279,800 yuan
Body wheelbase: 2870mm
It is powered by 1:2.0 liters (177 Ps and 207 Nm) + CVT
It is powered by 2.5 liters (207 Ps and 244 Nm) + 8 automatic transmissions
Powertrain: 2.5L (178Ps) + E-CVT (diesel-electric hybrid)
Circulating on the Internet, the price of another FAW Toyota Asian Dragon is even more outrageous: the 23 fuel version is only 119,800 yuan, and the Shuangqing version is only 138,800 yuan, and it is also interest-free.
The picture comes from the Internet
This price is "fake at a glance", one is that the guide price of the Asian Dragon is 20,000 more expensive than the Camry, but the price in the picture is 30,000 cheaper than the Camry. Second, at present, the car is at least 140,000 yuan in the auto trade channel.
However, adhering to the spirit of "seeking truth", we still contacted the local FAW Toyota dealer in Chengdu.
When the other party said "it's true", I felt my heartbeat stopped, is it possible that Chinese consumers are so happy, can 120,000 land on the Asian dragon?
Then the "little candle of happiness" was immediately blown out.
The price of 119,800 interest-free landing refers to: the total price of 6% down payment + insurance + purchase tax, and the actual naked car price is 154,800 yuan.
This...... , My 16 years of math education has been insulted, who taught you to do this? You won't help me repay the remaining 4 percent of the loan, how can you be embarrassed to say that 119,800 landed?
Of course, even the naked car price of 154,800 is very explosive.
You must know that in 2020, there will be no discount for this car, and the sub-top configuration will cost 290,000.
Even in the second half of last year, the discount was only 20,000 yuan, and now the direct discount is 45,000 yuan (in fact, it can be talked about again), the price of the new car can't stand it, what kind of value retention rate can you talk about?
Lexus ES
Manufacturer's guide price: 296,900-488,900 yuan
Body wheelbase: 2870mm
It is powered by 1:2.0 liters (173 Ps and 208 Nm) + CVT
It is powered by 2.5 liters (204 Ps and 240 Nm) + 8 automatic transmissions
It is powered by 3 2.5-liter (207Ps 243 Nm) + 8-speed transmission
Powertrain: 2.5L (178Ps) + E-CVT (diesel-electric hybrid)
In addition to the stability of new car prices, another means for Japanese companies to maintain their value retention rate is to increase prices. Because the actual naked car price is higher than the guide price, there will be a situation where the value retention rate is higher than 100%.
And Lexus is the best in the price increase, and there is even a ridiculous scene of "Sir, the price increase of 20,000 is already our biggest discount!".
Until April last year, there was no discount for the Lexus ES, and it was not until May that there was a discount of more than 10,000 yuan.
Now the general market of this car is 6-70,000 yuan, and in some areas it can even reach 80,000 yuan. If the car was picked up before May last year, it would mean a loss of 80,000 yuan in one and a half years.
As for the "big injustice" that added 20,000 yuan of decoration the year before last and waited for half a year to pick up the car, it can only be bitter wine in the throat and heartache.
In addition to Toyota, the retention rate of other Japanese brands is also miserable.
For example, Dongfeng Honda Civic, the discount in January this year was only 8,000-10,000 yuan, and now the discount can be up to 40,000 yuan. It is equivalent to doing nothing, losing 30,000 yuan in less than a year, and calculating the depreciation rate of second-hand cars.
As for Nissan, its luxury brand Infiniti Q50L, in the first half of this year, it was a discount of 100,000 yuan, and 6% off the sale of new cars.
As the saying goes, "water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat", domestic consumers pay too much attention to the value retention rate, this bitter fruit planted by the Japanese system, and now it is finally the turn of the Japanese system to taste it.
In addition, we have repeatedly emphasized that we are now in the era of alternating fuel and new energy, and the rapid development of technology, so don't pay too much attention to the value retention rate when buying a new car.
