The improvement of people's living standards has brought private cars into thousands of households. Of course, due to the technological update of the auto industry and the survival of the fittest in the market, the price of private cars can be reduced again and again, and many "workers" have realized their dream of buying a car. Of course, for different groups of people, the purpose of buying a car may be different. Some people buy a car for practicality, some people buy a car for face and show off, and some people buy a car for official business trips, etc. Of course, for a wider audience, the car is for transportation. At least after you have your own private car, you can sit comfortably in the car and drive where you want to go instead of squeezing the bus or subway, saving a lot of the trouble of commuting to and from get off work. Today I will mainly talk to you about the misunderstandings about buying a car to see if you have made these misunderstandings. You can also remind you of your future car selection for emergencies.
The first misunderstanding: face and suffer
owning a private car of your own means that your wealth is at a better level, because the car is often a manifestation of a person's worth. Generally speaking, the higher the value of the car, the more wealth the person has. Of course, his social status may also increase with the tide. In the eyes of many people, especially in the eyes of the rich or upstarts, the more expensive the car, the more face they have. Some friends have said that what you are talking about is just an individual rich man. The cars we buy by ordinary workers are not meant to show off. Indeed, ordinary people buy a car for their own utility, and cost-effectiveness is their first choice. But the question is, when buying a car, do you subconsciously have the idea of "suffering face and being a big head"? For example, if the cars of your relatives and friends start at two or three hundred thousand, would you not feel embarrassed if you bought a car for less than one hundred thousand?
There are some friends who buy cars for brands. They would rather have phoenix tails than chicken heads. What do you mean? That is to say, some friends would rather use the same money to buy entry-level imported cars, luxury cars, than to buy high-end or top-end joint venture cars or domestic car models. After buying an entry-level luxury car, I realized that I had bought it wrong. The entry level is equivalent to the "beggar version",It is dubbed the "beggar version" by insiders, because the entry-level models, whether they are imported cars, joint venture cars or domestically produced cars, are all of the "what you want and nothing". Some friends even buy entry-level luxury cars that are not cost-effective in order to "fill up the big head". This not only adds a lot of pressure to life, but also is not practical. This is all caused by "face". .
By the way, the car is always bought for myself, so I have the most say if I use it. If for the sake of face, for the sake of a few words of praise from others, but for a moment, you bought a car that you can't afford, then why bother? A few words of praise from others are just a passing flick, and they won't bring any benefit to me. So if you don't have the budget for a high-end version of a luxury car, you might as well consider a high-end version of a joint venture. If there is no budget for a high-end version of a joint venture car, consider the high-end version of a domestic car. Because generally speaking, those so-called entry-level versions are difficult to display the charm and essence of that model, so the first misunderstanding of buying a car is "suffering face and suffering."
The second misunderstanding: the larger the car, the more cost-effective
the larger the car, it means that no matter how people or things are installed, it can fit more, and the larger the space, the head and feet sitting inside The office space is also more generous, so you can sit more comfortably. Therefore, many friends think that the larger the car’s length, width, and height at the same price, the better its price/performance ratio. This view is actually not correct, because the space performance is only a performance of the car, it is not very important. In contrast, the price and safety performance are more important. If it is purely based on the size of the interior space as the basis for selecting a car, it will obviously be partial.
For example, many overseas models will prepare large-size features for consumers as soon as they enter the country, and many domestic independent brands emphasize the size of the models. Generally speaking, a C-class sedan or a full-size SUV can be purchased with a budget of 100,000 yuan. Isn't this attractive? And many medium and large SUVs are also equipped with rear seats, which can seat 6 to 7 people in a single car, which seems to be a good price/performance ratio. But have you ever thought that the rear space of these 6-seater SUVs or 7-seater SUVs is usually relatively small,It is difficult for tall people to sit down at all, so the rear seats of SUVs are usually used to carry goods. But here comes the problem. If you buy an SUV for transportation, then the chance of discharging goods shouldn't be great, right? Even if it’s used to deliver goods, isn’t there still a trunk? Does that mean that the rear seats are often vacant? Is that a waste? Didn't make the best use of everything? From this point of view, is the price/performance ratio of a large SUV not high?
The third misunderstanding: naively thinking that SUV is almighty
SUV's full name is "suburban multi-purpose vehicle", which means that SUV can easily pass regardless of whether it is in the urban area or rural road . Indeed, SUVs have a certain degree of off-road performance and good passability due to their higher chassis than cars, but this is only the result of comparison with cars. In other words, from a certain level, off-road performance is an additional performance of SUVs, and cannot be used for off-road things. If you usually have a lot of off-roading, it is recommended not to buy an SUV, but consider a stronger off-road performance. SUV. Some people have said that fuel economy and high cost performance are also the advantages of SUVs. That’s right, but if compared with a car, it is much weaker. Although the chassis of a car is not as high as an SUV, if it is only used for urban transportation, you will find that the fuel consumption of the car is lower than that of the SUV. Economical fuel performance will be better than SUV. In this way, SUV is not all-round, it is not as perfect as you think.
Summary
I have shared three common misunderstandings about buying a car above, and hope to provide some objective references for your car selection. Of course, when choosing a car, only the one selected according to your actual needs is the most suitable for you. No matter how good this model is or how bad this model is, it is only after you test drive it yourself, experience it yourself, and slowly understand it, then you will know if this car is your favorite.
