Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Li. A friend wanted to buy a second-hand car to practice, but he didn't know how cost-effective it was to buy a second-hand car for a few years, so he asked me how the second-hand car I bought before was driving and whether the quality was good. In fact, the quality of used cars is uneven, some are of good quality, and some may be problem cars. Today, I will tell you what year is the most cost-effective to buy a second-hand car.
First of all, I want to tell you why I can accept this used car in my hand now. At that time, the most fundamental reason why I considered buying a second-hand car was that I had no money and wanted to change to a B-class car, so I could only buy second-hand cars. In fact, I wanted to buy a Toyota Camry at first, because I have driven a Toyota for 9 years, and most of the people around me also bought Toyota cars, and I know very well what the quality of Toyota cars is. I have driven my own car for 9 years, and I have run a total of 100,000 kilometers, basically just refueling and maintenance, with few minor problems, and I don't have to worry about any major problems that may occur one day.
I remember that before I was ready to change to a second-hand car, when I went to the maintenance, I asked my friend who repaired the car, can I drive this car for 200,000 kilometers without breaking it? At that time, I thought in my heart that if this car can be driven for another 5 years and it is so stable, then I will definitely not overturn if I buy a Camry within 10 years. As a result, he smiled and said: "As long as your car is well maintained, not to mention 200,000 kilometers, even if it is 300,000 kilometers, it is no problem." Japanese cars are almost like this, the quality is relatively good, and many cars that have been driven for more than 10 years to repair are some minor problems." Hearing his answer like this, I was basically sure that I was going to buy a used Camry that was about 10 years old.
But I went to the second-hand car market and found that I couldn't afford a second-hand Camry that was about 10 years old, but I could buy a Korean B-class car that was about 10 years old. At that time, I thought that Korean cars are also relatively stable, although the quality does not know whether there is a Japanese car stable, but it is definitely more stable than a second-hand domestic car, and I gambled directly on the 14-year-old Hyundai Mingtu in my hand, and this year it is just a 10-year-old car. The overall quality of this car is still good, I have been driving for a year, it seems that I have no problem driving for another 5 years, with the experience of buying this car plus my own old cars that I have sold after 12 years, if you also want to buy a second-hand car, I have 3 suggestions for you.
First, if you want to be cheaper, it is better to buy a joint venture car that is about 10 years old. I have driven a domestic car myself, and I think that the probability of a problem with a domestic car in 10 years is relatively large, not necessarily a big problem, but there will be more minor problems than joint venture cars. Why is it about 10 years? Because the value retention rate of the joint venture car is higher than that of domestic cars, the newer the more expensive it is, and when the price of the new car has not been reduced before, the Toyota Camry that has been driven for one or two years is about 30,000 yuan cheaper than the new car, which is very expensive. But the B-class car of about 10 years will be available for tens of thousands of yuan, and if it is a Korean car, it is cheaper.
For the joint venture car, the age of the car of about 10 years is basically still in the middle-aged stage, just buy it back and take care of it, and there is no problem at all for another five or six years. In fact, it can continue to open after five or six years, but it may be a little more troublesome to inspect the annual inspection. Our boss's Hyundai Kia has been driving for 16 years, and it has always been driven as a tool car, anyway, anyone who wants to drive it can drive, and there has been no problem, and it is not bad to visually see that this car can be driven for at least a few more years. Therefore, buying a used car for about 10 years is the most cost-effective.
Second, second-hand cars that are about 3 years old should pay great attention to preventing accidents and soaking in water. Most of the second-hand cars that are about 10 years old are tired of the original owner, and there are some small problems in the car that are disliked before they are sold. But about 3 years of second-hand cars should be careful, many cars have not been fresh after 3 years of driving, and the depreciation of the car at this time is very large, the original car is mainly not short of money or the car has problems before willing to sell. For example, some people have an accident while driving, and they sell it because they feel unlucky, and some people who are flooded and unsafe to drive in the later stage decide to sell it, so we must pay attention to these problems.
Second, second-hand cars must be bought first-hand cars. What is a first-hand car? That is, the car has always been in the name of the owner of the new car until it was in the hands of the car dealer. If a car is only 10 years old, transferred to the name of 2 or 3 people, it proves that the car must have a certain problem that everyone can not accept, the original owner may be because of this problem to sell the car, and the owner who took over the purchase can not accept this problem and sell, then you yourself are not a body, at the beginning it is not clear what is the problem to be disliked, in case you buy back can not accept this problem can only change the car, then it is a big loss.
The above are some questions about buying second-hand cars, in general, second-hand cars are either 3 to 5 years old, this age of cars is more expensive, but the quality is stable, but the possibility of buying problems is a little greater. Either you buy a car about 10 years old, this age of the car is cost-effective, but the style may be older, and the brand may have many small problems in the later stage if you choose the right one, so it is recommended to buy a car about 10 years old or buy a Japanese one. I hope I find it helpful.
