Introduction:
2021 has reached the end of October. I believe that all riders are still preparing for Double 11 shopping carts. Looking back at the past ten months, this year has also been a restless year. Due to abnormal extreme weather, floods of varying degrees occurred in some areas of the country.
For example, the flood in Zhengzhou, Henan this year was still quite serious. For this reason, the editor will not comment on the disaster situation. He mainly wants to use this disaster situation to talk about water bob . Due to the flood, many private cars were inevitably soaked in the water. This time, a large number of vehicles in Henan were flooded.
We all know that as long as water is in the interior of the vehicle, , especially the engine and internal circuit, , this car is basically useless. Car owners with slightly better economic conditions must have just waved their hands and bought a new car. And these "scrapped" vehicles naturally entered the hands of second-hand car dealers . The large number of hoarded vehicles have successfully attracted many car enthusiasts to come to Henan to "digate treasures". According to the editor, basically, car enthusiasts from Zhejiang, Anhui, and even the farthest to Xinjiang have come to "picking up bargains".
Flying thousands of miles to collect water truck
Are these so-called water trucks really "treasures"? Actually, it is not the case. Recently, the editor heard a young man from Xinjiang traveled thousands of miles to Zhengzhou, Henan, preparing to buy a used car with this kind of water. As expected, after the young man came to Zhengzhou, he took a fancy to a 2014 Mercedes-Benz S400 high-end . I believe that all car owners who know cars know what a classic flagship sedan of Mercedes-Benz S400 is.
Mercedes-Benz S series is the mid-to-high-end product line of Mercedes-Benz sedan, and up is Mercedes- Maybach. The Mercedes-Benz 14 S400 was once hard to find a car with its very elegant and atmospheric appearance, and the landing price of at that time has exceeded 1.3 million yuan, which is also a top luxury car that ordinary people cannot reach. This S400 with excellent reputation, do you want to say that the young man has really found a treasure?
This Mercedes-Benz S400 is a 2014 model, and it has been almost 8 years since 2021. At the same time, this car has been soaked in water due to the flood in Zhengzhou. Before the flood, the car had a mileage of 100,000 kilometers, which is a relatively vicissitudes of life. According to the feedback from Mercedes-Benz owners, this car has always had water wading insurance, but it feels useless to pay every year, so I stopped this year. Unexpectedly, I encountered a once-in-a-century flood this year. So I had to deal with the second-hand car.
cumulative spending 400,000
was finally handed over to the hands of this young man in Xinjiang. The price of this 2013 Mercedes-Benz S400 is only 300,000 yuan left. What does 300,000 yuan mean? It is to buy a top-end GAC Toyota Camry. was originally 1.3 million, but now it is 300,000, which is almost a few points off , which is really cost-effective. However, if you want to transport it back from Zhengzhou, Henan to Xinjiang, the cost will be very high. A young man from Xinjiang said he was in trouble.
The current new owner, the Xinjiang guy, has contacted the local repair shop in Xinjiang and gave the condition of the Mercedes-Benz S400 there. The feedback from the other side said that if the is really completely repaired, that is, it can be driven on the road, it will basically cost around 80,000 yuan. As a result, the young man in Xinjiang was also stupid. He thought it would be enough to just repair the car.
ended up spending 300,000 yuan, and transportation costs. With the repair fee of 80,000 yuan, I basically went to for 400,000 yuan. You should know that if it is 400,000 yuan, basically the second-hand Mercedes-Benz E-Class , which has no water bubbles in recent years, and even the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class , can be easily won. Just for this top-level Mercedes-Benz S, it cost 400,000 yuan, and the interior inside has basically been soaked in water. If really wants to restore the top luxury interior of the S-Class, it will have to spend tens of thousands of dollars. After all, the materials used by Mercedes-Benz S are expensive.
Conclusion:
Finally, the editor wants to say that in fact, the real car product is just a good item. You can buy a Mercedes-Benz S with hundreds of thousands of dollars, Audi A8 and other things are basically impossible. Or it is like this kind of water truck, with extremely high maintenance costs in the later stage. So the editor suggests that buying a car should be done within your ability.
