Toyota's annual car maintenance costs are as high as tens of thousands of yuan, and it is unbelievable for netizens to post bills
If you're a Toyota owner, you'll have to be prepared to eat dirt. Recently, a netizen posted his bill for using Toyota for a year, and the numbers are staggering. The basic fuel, insurance and maintenance costs alone are as high as tens of thousands of yuan, not including other miscellaneous expenses. Looking at this astronomical amount, netizens expressed disbelief and questioned whether anyone could really afford such a "super car".
Bills posted by netizens:
According to the data released by this netizen, he drives 20,000 kilometers a year, and the fuel cost alone is as high as 15,000 yuan. Coupled with the annual insurance premium of more than 10,000 yuan, and the maintenance cost of replacing it every 5,000 kilometers, about 4,800 yuan, adding up to nearly 30,000 yuan. If you include other miscellaneous expenses such as car washing, parking, and fines for violations, the annual expenditure may exceed 40,000 yuan.
Why is the cost of Toyota's domineering car maintenance so high? Here's why
The annual maintenance cost of an ordinary family car is generally about 10,000 yuan. But for a luxury large SUV like the Toyota Overlord, the cost is frighteningly high. Specifically, the reason why its annual car maintenance cost is so high is mainly due to the following reasons:
As a 3.5L large-displacement model, Toyota's domineering fuel consumption is naturally much higher than that of ordinary cars. According to the data released by netizens, its comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is about 11L, and it needs to consume 2,200 liters of gasoline for 20,000 kilometers a year. Based on the price of No. 95 gasoline at 6.8 yuan per liter, the annual fuel cost is as high as 15,000 yuan.
As an imported luxury car, Toyota's insurance premiums and maintenance costs are also much higher than those of domestic cars. Generally speaking, its annual insurance premium is about 10,000 yuan, and it needs to be maintained every 5,000 kilometers, each time the cost is more than 1,000 yuan, and it needs at least 4 times a year, and the maintenance fee is as high as 4,800 yuan.
As a large car, Toyota Overlord will inevitably incur some other miscellaneous expenses during use, such as car wash fees, parking fees, violation fines, etc., which add up to a large amount.
Driving a luxury car is such a "luxurious" method, what do you think?
It is undeniable that driving a Toyota Domineering can indeed give people a unique driving experience and status symbol. This large luxury SUV not only has a majestic body, luxurious interior, and surging power, but also allows the owner to "raise his eyebrows" on the road. For those who pursue individuality and like to show off their wealth, it is undoubtedly a good choice to be domineering.
The price of this "luxury car dream" is also expensive. The cost of tens of thousands of yuan a year for car maintenance is simply an "astronomical amount" for ordinary families. What's more, now that the economic situation is grim, many people are struggling to survive because of life, where is there spare money to squander?
Should we really go out of our way to buy such a "super car" for the sake of vanity? The sensible thing to do is to think twice. The essence of the car is a means of transportation, not a status symbol. Instead of being valued for the price of the car, it is better to spend the money on more meaningful things, such as improving the quality of life, funding children's education, and so on.
