[Look at China June 28, 2021]Dear owners and friends, the first car in your life isNew carstill isSecond-hand carWhat? Who are your relatives and friends who bought new cars and who bought second-hand cars? For many ordinary people, when buying a car, they usually choose to buy a new car.And many rich peopleBuy a carBut when I like to buy second-hand, such as second-hand Ferrari, second-hand Lamborghini and so on. So why do poor people like to buy new cars while rich people like to buy used cars?
1. Why do rich people like to buy used cars?
Is it because rich people like to buy used cars because they have more money to repair them? Of course not for this reason! Because in the eyes of the rich, you can buy a luxury car with very little money, and no one will think that it is a second-hand car when you drive it out. The most important thing is that you can buy back a lot of second-hand luxury cars and drive them in different luxury cars every three to five. Isn’t this more face-saving than driving a car every day?
And many wealthy people are also doing their own wishful thinking. Under the profound influence of today’s investment philosophy, they feel that cars are just a kind of consumables, and the rate of depreciation is too fast. If you buy a new car, it will cost you. If you have too much money, you will lose too much if the value is depreciated. It is better to buy a second-hand car directly, which will not affect your face and you can use the remaining money to invest and make more money back.
2. Why do poor people like to buy new cars?
Except for a small number of poor people who are indeed too poor to buy used cars, most of the poor still like to buy new cars, because it seems to ordinary people that buying a car is a major event in life, absolutely. If you can’t be sloppy, you either don’t just buy it, or buy a new car if you want to.
In addition, in the opinion of ordinary people, if the car has no quality problems, no one will sell the car for no reason, so there must be a problem with the second-hand car. In particular, they are very afraid that if they buy a car that has been involved in a traffic accident, it will be very unlucky and will leave a deep shadow in their hearts. In addition, they worry about buying a second-hand car, there may be problems from time to time and need to be repaired, repairing may be an extra expenditure that cannot be budgeted…Because of these factors, the poor prefer to buy a new car.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of new cars and used cars?
What we have to figure out is what are the differences between new cars and used cars, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
1. New car advantage
The biggest advantage of a new car is its quality assurance. Before each new car is delivered to consumers, it will go through several rounds of strict quality inspections to ensure that all links are perfect. Moreover, vehicles purchased through regular dealerships not only have a certain number of years/km warranty, but also a very systematic after-sales service system.
However, the disadvantage of buying a new car is also very obvious, that is, you need to pay more money. For the same model, a new car is much more expensive than a used car, and insurance costs will be higher. In case of a knock and distress, let’s not say, the cost of later repairs is also a lot, after all, no one wants to drive a new car into “Iraqi fineness” soon. In addition, new cars depreciate faster than second-hand cars, and there are relatively more losses when selling cars.
2. Advantages of second-hand cars
The advantages of second-hand cars correspond to the disadvantages of new cars, that is, lower cost. Secondly, buying a second-hand car saves the purchase tax and other expenses, and insurance is cheaper. For car owners who don’t have so much money on hand, the pressure is much less. Moreover, if the car is sold again, the depreciation loss is not as much as that of a new car. In addition, novice drivers will inevitably bump and bump, and a second-hand car will not be so distressed if it is a bit scratched, and simple repairs will do.
However, I believe there is no need to say more about the pit of buying second-hand cars. Whether you can buy a reliable second-hand car is the primary issue. Secondly, although high-level models can be bought at low prices, in the unlikely event that problems need to be repaired, these models will tell you in minutes what a “luxury car” is, and the probability of problems with second-hand cars is often much higher than that of new cars. .
3. How should a novice choose when buying a car?
The most fundamental and most important point is that-what car to buy must be determined according to your actual situation. If you are a “noob” with cars and you can’t spend too much time and energy on the car, then it is best to buy a new car when the economic situation permits. In this way, in addition to regular maintenance, you basically don’t need to worry about this car, and the car will become your loyal transportation tool.
If you have a very reliable resource of second-hand cars, or a friend you trust knows better about second-hand cars, then choosing a second-hand car is relatively good, after all, you can still save a lot of money. And if you have time and energy, you can deepen your understanding of the structure and problems of the vehicle, and you can also practice your driving skills at the lowest cost.
