Is there still value in a classic car with an age of more than 15 years? As a car owner, is it a house or a stay for such a vehicle? This is a problem! Hear how professional automotive engineers view this historical conundrum!
In my opinion, for vehicles that are more than 15 years old, the owner can consider replacing them. You may say that there are many classic cars abroad, whose car age is more than 15 years, and some vehicles are even as old as forty or fifty years, if you think so, it can only mean that you are too lonely. According to the results of statistics from relevant people, the average age of American cars is about 12.1 years, and the average age of Japanese cars is 12.7 years, that is to say, even if the united states or Japan are automobile powers, their scrap years are mostly concentrated within 15 years.
Nowadays, China's automobile market is not mature, the automobile regulatory mechanism is still unstable, many car companies' vehicles, have been simplified design, car quality, durability and stability is far less than foreign vehicles, therefore, China's cars, its scrap life concentrated in about 15 years, it is not impossible.
Many car owners treat cars that are more than 15 years old, and their attitude is mostly "left tasteless, abandoned pity"!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > why "abandoned"? </h1>
15 years ago, the owner may have spent more than 200,000 high price to buy this car, and now, this classic car is not worth anything at all, one or two thousand may be handled, can not sell high prices, which also led to the owner has no desire to sell the car, it is better to stay as a thought, after all, accompanied by their own 15 years, the owner and the vehicle slowly developed feelings.
For ordinary family cars, the mileage of 15 years is about 150,000 to 250,000 kilometers, and such vehicles cannot be said to be "just years", but at least they can be called old and strong. I have worked in several joint venture car companies, and the durability and stability of many joint venture cars are developed on the basis of 300,000 kilometers, that is to say, even if the age of the vehicle is more than 15 years, the normal driving performance of these vehicles will not be affected.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > instead of focusing on "abandoning it", owners should think about why "left tasteless", which is the main reason why most car owners want to change cars! </h1>
Annual vehicle inspection is a problem
For the car, 15 years is a hurdle, not that the durability and stability of the vehicle is undergoing a serious test, but that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's control of such vehicles is quite strict, the longer the age of the vehicle, the worse the vehicle emission performance, from the perspective of environmental protection, everyone hopes to scrap these vehicles, but can not force the owner to scrap, how to do? Simply more than 15 years of vehicles, twice a year annual inspection (320 yuan each), strict restrictions on car exhaust, if the emissions do not meet the standard, prohibited on the road, after three times and five times, the owner himself wants to change the car.
Vehicle breakdowns are frequent
We always say that the durability of the car is beyond imagination, but it is undeniable that more than 15 years of vehicles, the probability of its problems is getting higher and higher, these problems do not hurt the fundamentals, but make the owner very uncomfortable. For example, there are a lot of rubber mats on the vehicle, used for shock absorption, noise reduction, but the longer the age of the car, the more serious the aging deterioration of these rubber mats, the vehicle will be accompanied by abnormal noise, noise, etc. during the driving process, for the engine or transmission, there will be poor sealing and other phenomena in the oil seal, so the old car of more than 15 years, it is inevitable that some large maintenance will be required.
The vehicle is old-fashioned in shape and has an old interior
In this face-looking society, the appearance is justice, 15 years ago the vehicle, the shape is boxy, there is no fluency, fashion sense to speak of, the vehicle interior material is very low, it feels very hard, and the interior shape is very mediocre, such a design may have been very popular 15 years ago, but looking at the present, it is absolutely unsightly.
With the gradual improvement of automobile design and manufacturing technology, the current car, its shape design is very gorgeous, young, sporty, fashionable, each car has a very smooth appearance, the interior of each car is in line with the current aesthetics, which is also one of the reasons why most car owners want to change cars.
In summary, for cars, 15 years is a hurdle, and vehicles with an age of more than 15 years can be replaced by car owners.
