Buying a new car is a joyful thing, but if you encounter "routines" during the car buying process, it will be somewhat troublesome. As a budget-conscious consumer, how can you avoid the pitfalls in the car buying process? Let’s talk about this today, because even in a 4S store, there will be some additional fees, such as delivery fees and licensing fees. These two fees added together can reach 2,000 yuan or 2,500 yuan.

Which car to choose? This must be considered carefully and within your capabilities. Not only the purchase cost, but also subsequent maintenance and repairs are also a considerable expense. The editor suggests that before buying a car, you should calm down and make a decision based on self-evaluation.

Hold on to the budget

Before buying a car, you must first have a budget, how much money you are going to spend, and what type of car you want to buy. You can choose a car model within a price range. This budget should include all expenses including the car price, insurance, loan and registration.

Know your own needs

You need to be clear about the reasons for buying a car. If there are many people in the family, including the elderly and children, it is best to choose a car with large space and high comfort. You should also consider whether it is driven by a man or a woman, whether it is suitable for automatic transmission or manual transmission. Secondly, you should also consider the economy and appearance of the vehicle. If you just want to buy a transportation tool, or only drive it a few times a month, there is no need to buy an overly expensive car. Of course, if you are a friend who is not short of money, that is another matter.

After thinking about the above questions, it is not too late to go to the store to look at the car. If there is no target, the 4S store salesperson will of course recommend the most profitable car model in the store and hype it up. If you are tempted, the sale will be considered a success.

When negotiating price, everyone must pay attention to the following points:

Don’t talk about the total price, talk about the naked price

When many people enter a 4S store, the first thing they say is, how much does this car cost? The editor observed in the store for a period of time and found that eight out of ten customers received by the sales asked this question. In fact, this is the easiest way to be tricked. If you think you are getting a discount through the package, you will actually be charged a huge amount by the salesperson, such as registration fees, purchase tax, insurance, and handling fees. If you ask the salesperson to list the expenses in detail, list them all and put them in the "sunshine", and ask for an invoice for each item, then the salesperson will not dare to cheat you.

Say no to the increased price car

If you have successfully escaped the previous pit, the salesman will not let you go. He will find a way to make up the money from other places. After you choose the car model, the salesman will tell you that this model is not available now and needs to be ordered. If you want to pick up the car as soon as possible, you need to add some money. This car is currently a hot-selling model in the market. If it is popular, you need to pay more... This kind of behavior is actually illegal. First, consumers can complain about it, or directly change to another store. Because the country has already issued new regulations, stating that you cannot change the vehicle price at will or charge other fees in disguise during the purchase of a car. However, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. Some 4S stores still do this behavior.

It is not affordable to give a large gift package by adding money

When the salesperson sees that the customer wants to leave when the price is increased, the salesperson will change his tone and say that the price will be increased and a large gift package will be given, and what is in it and how much it is worth, which makes you feel that it is worth the money. But when you pay After paying the money, you will find that not everything in the gift package can be selected, and many of the products in the gift package are not branded and very worthless. The editor recommends that you try not to buy gift packages in 4S stores. You can go to other places to buy items such as floor mats, films, and driving recorders on your own, and the prices are much cheaper than 4S stores.

Down payment of XX yuan, 0 interest, daily payment of XX yuan

If you find that you are not interested in any of the above sales, there is a magic weapon for sales. Many 4S stores use loan car buying as a promotional slogan. Many consumers are very excited after seeing it. If you carefully calculate the cost of buying a car in this way, it will actually be much higher than buying a car with full payment. There is an old saying that goes like this: if you are greedy for small gains, you will suffer big losses.

Refuse to add cars

Different models of each brand have a unified national guide price. Many profiteers will install navigation or reversing imaging and other configurations on low-end models, and name themselves "xxx Navigation Entertainment Edition", or add off-road vehicles The upper side steps and front and rear bumpers are euphemistically called "xxxx off-road version." For example, a car worth 100,000 yuan is priced at 120,000 yuan because of these configurations. Even if you are given a few thousand more discounts to give you a taste of the sweetness, the actual cost is only a few hundred or just over a thousand yuan, so you still lose more than 10,000 yuan.

Choosing the right insurance can also save money.

Novice drivers usually buy full insurance when buying insurance. The editor also recommends friends who buy a car for the first time to get full insurance for peace of mind. If you want to save money on insurance, buy these four kinds of insurance, compulsory traffic insurance (a must buy), car damage, and third party liability insurance.
