My Years As a Car Dealer

Chapter 0172: Cadillac CT6

"Your needs?" It was Zhang Chen's turn to be confused and asked Tang Hongbo, "Don't you want to buy a car and go home for a blind date?"

"Yeah, I want to buy a decent car and go home for a blind date during the Chinese New Year."

"Isn't this over?" Zhang Chen was enraged by Tang Hongbo, pointed to the interior of the cable 8, and said, "If you just go home for the New Year and don't get involved in the blind date, you can buy a cable for seven or eighty thousand yuan. 8 Going back is nothing.

The appearance of the cable 8 is good-looking and the space is large. Even if it is a model six or seven years ago, it is still not ugly, but you can see that the configuration of the cable 8 is based on the current standard. In addition to the basic functions, some taller The configuration of the car is almost non-existent, and the interior is even more shabby. In front of fellow villagers who have a little knowledge of automobiles, it is impossible to pretend to be a fool. "

Zhang Chen walked to the front of the cable 8, pointed to the modern car logo in the middle of the air intake grille, and then persuaded Tang Hongbo: "We Chinese people pay attention to a face, and go back to our hometown, in case the woman drives a BMW or Audi. What, it's time to compare, it's time to pretend, at this time, the cable 8 of the modern OEM is obviously not powerful, and it can't take you to pretend to take you to fly."

Due to the upgrading and product positioning, Hyundai's brand influence is insufficient. In China, it cannot compare with the German, Japanese and American models of the same level. In Zhang Chen's view, a brand with weak competitiveness cannot satisfy Tang Hongbo's most current situation. Urgent needs.

"What you need is such a model." Zhang Chen pulled Tang Hongbo and turned around, facing the Cadillac SLS Saiwei, which was parked two meters away.

The shape of the Cadillac SLS is very cool, with the chrome-plated pentagonal grille occupying almost the entire front face, like a mighty and domineering open mouth.

There is a shield-shaped logo in the middle. Although it is not full of aristocratic and high-end atmosphere like Zhang Chen's Jaguar XJ, it also shows the tallness of a bald eagle country. With a body of more than five meters, the appearance is luxurious and noble. , at first glance it is a high-end car, anyway, it is quite bluffing.

Its headlights are not the tear-eye (or star screen) shape of the current Cadillac, but a vertical trapezoid. It doesn't have the ecstasy feeling of the Cadillac CT6, and it does not have a strong recognition degree, but it can't be said to be ugly. After all, this is a 2012 model car, and the price is hundreds of thousands cheaper. People can't be too greedy. They want to be cheap and ask for fashionable styling.

After Zhang Chen opened the car door, a luxurious aura came over him. Tang Hongbo's eyes widened and fell into deep shock.

The interior of the Cadillac SLS is exquisite in workmanship, and the needlework is fine and well-proportioned.

The unique wooden decorative strips in the whole car, leather seats with multi-directional adjustment function, especially the President-level Huanyu cockpit made him drool in surprise.

"Look, what is luxury, what is style, what is face." Zhang Chen took Tang Hongbo to visit. The Cadillac SLS SLS exudes a delicate and high-end texture from the inside out. Explain what it means to have a face.

Comparing the cable 8 with the Cadillac SLS, if the cable 8 is a beautiful woman with a charming appearance and a messy interior.

Then the Cadillac SLS Saiwei is a strong man with strong chest muscles and a fit body in the gym.

It doesn't matter whether the strong man can participate in the fighting, whether he can win the championship and win the prize, anyway, the appearance, interior and tall configuration are quite bluffing, which can make people's eyes shine, and they fall in love with it instantly.

Zhang Chen thinks that the cable 8 is the best choice for Tang Hongbo because of its powerful appearance and exquisite and luxurious interior.

Tang Hongbo's mind finally turned the corner, and he understood that he couldn't find a wife when he bought a cable 8. His body trembled slightly, and his voice changed: "Brother Zhang, I want to buy this Cadillac. SLS Saiwei."

"Xiao Tang, you are really stingy. You earn a million with Brother Zhang, and you are not willing to buy a new car." The people who sent the car to the Four Seas Motor Company came back one after another. They heard that Tang Hongbo wanted to buy a car. , jokingly and teasing him together, joking and saying go home and buy a new car on a blind date, at least buy a new car at your own car dealership, not a Cadillac SLS Sewei that is six or seven years old.

Tang Hongbo was ridiculed by his colleagues, but he was not angry. Now the employees of Sihai Auto Co., Ltd. are very harmonious. Tang Hongbo knew that his colleagues were playing with him and had no malicious intentions.

Tang Hongbo really made a lot of money by working hard with Zhang Chen, but he donated more than 100,000 yuan to Mu Qing's Angel Care Fund and invested some in Zhang Chen's bar. He wanted to go home with the rest of the money. Honor your parents, or wait for Zhang Chen to invest in another good project.

Besides, he knows that it is unrealistic to buy high-end cars such as Audi A6L, BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Jaguar XJ on his own terms.

Buying a car like Wuling Hongguang, Shuaike, and Baojun 310, although the price is cheap and easy to maintain, it can be used in daily life, but it seems too low-grade to go home to find a wife for the Chinese New Year.

After listening to Zhang Chen's introduction and comparison, Tang Hongbo felt that the Cadillac SLS Saiwei had the original original paint, and the car was in good condition. The most important thing was the Bald Eagle brand, which showed a sense of grandeur, and could definitely fool the future daughter-in-law's family. From east to west, north and south, I can't guess that this car is only sold for more than 100,000.

Tang Hongbo's situation is very representative. Chinese people value family affection. Whether it is good or bad in the outside world, home is the only lovesickness that cannot be given up.

How do you sing the lyrics? Have money and no money to go home for the New Year.

Therefore, when the New Year is approaching, many people have worked hard outside for a year and need to go home for the New Year to visit relatives and friends to talk about matchmaking.

At this time, it is best to have a car to travel, and it also seems that you are doing well outside, and your face looks better.

This is also the reason why many people rent a luxury car like a Porsche when they go home for the New Year. Both vanity is at work, but in fact, to a large extent, it is a helpless act of being forced, and social bad habits kill people.

Young people still have an important task to go home for a blind date for the New Year. Of course, the more expensive the car to buy for the blind date, the better, and the more face the better.

However, this face must be supported by an economic foundation, and you can't make a swollen face as a fat man. Don't you see some people renting a sports car and renting a luxury car to go home. As a result, the car has an accident on the road, or has an accident, and they have to lose a lot of money. Millions, or even millions, will be lost, and you won't even think about turning over in your life.

In fact, in Zhang Chen's view, if you don't have that much money to meet your face needs, it depends on how you choose a car.

Of course, if you have money, you don’t have to make choices. In order to get married smoothly, you can buy whatever model is high-end, and whatever model you have face to buy.

It's easy to do without money, buy a used car, you can spend a small amount of money to do big things.

But buying a second-hand car is not just a random purchase, it depends on your actual needs, the brand, and the model.

In China, especially the rural people like Zhang Chen's family, because BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi have worked hard in China for many years, they have spent sky-high advertising fees, and all kinds of hard ads and soft ads are flying all over the sky. As a result, in people's minds, luxury cars are almost exclusively regarded as German. Department of the three major brands of BBA.

In big cities, the standards for luxury cars are much higher, up to the level of Porsche, Maserati, Land Rover and the like.

Therefore, Zhang Chen's advice to Tang Hongbo is to not buy a Korean car, not a Japanese car.

Even if Tang Hongbo spent more than one million yuan and paid hundreds of thousands of additional prices to buy a Toyota Alpha, the villagers in the village did not understand what luxury or luxury was, or what Alpha meant. I bought a Toyota, and the presumptive one would repeat the sentence "Toyota! I haven't bought a BYD Tang from the old Wang family next door. At least that car is an SUV that can cross the ditch."

When he saw the real car, he would even exclaim with sarcasm: "A van! Can you pull twenty people?"

In such a situation, you can't always take out the invoice and show the price to the individual, right?

Therefore, purely from a face-saving point of view, you must buy BBA.

The silent ratio is the highest level of the ratio.

If you want to enjoy the admiration of the elders and folks, Zhang Chen suggested that if your strength allows, you should buy a second-hand car from BBA, preferably Audi A6L, BMW 5 Series, and Mercedes-Benz E to start.

If you can buy an Audi A8L, a BMW 7-series, and a Mercedes-Benz S-class, it will be even better. The precipice can be praised by the folks from ten miles away, and I am afraid that some people will rush to introduce their daughters for a blind date.

Zhang Chen introduced to buy second-hand cars from BBA, the best Audi A6L, BMW 5-series, Mercedes-Benz E start, for those who have money in their pockets,

After all, the price of BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi is high. When buying a new car, some models have to increase the price, impose high-quality goods, additional insurance and so on a large additional cost.

Moreover, the value preservation rate of BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi models is not low. Taking the Volkswagen Group with the lowest value preservation rate in the BBA, the value preservation artifact such as the R36 and CT9A of the Volkswagen series can still reach 6% in the past eight years. seventy.

Among the Audi car series, A6L and Q5 are tied for the highest value retention rate, and the value retention rate for three years is also around 60%.

So if you don't have the money, you can't afford it.

What if I can't afford it?

Zhang Chen's suggestion is to buy niche cars like Cadillac, Lincoln, Jaguar, and Alfa Romeo.

Don't worry, it doesn't cost much.

Cadillac, Lincoln, Jaguar, Alfa Romeo and other niche cars, their value retention rate is the same as that of supercars. The value retention rate is scary, and the bigger the brand, the faster the depreciation. The value retention rate of the LP700 in the first year can only reach 100%. sixty percent.

That is to say, just bought it home and played 2 million for a year before throwing it in.

Mavericks, F430, DB, these cars are even more unbearable, the two-year value retention rate is only over 50%.

The model with a slightly higher value retention rate is the 3.0T panamera. The new car sells for more than 1.6 million. The current market price of the 14 panameraS is about 1.05 million, and the value retention rate for two years is more than 65%. point.

The ultra-low value retention rate of supercars mainly depends on its market demand is too small, and you can’t play supercars on the road in China. People ask for 8 to the next basement for 20 seconds, and Mavericks to the next basement. After 3 minutes, the cool appearance is still not practical, and I can't get through a ditch when I go back to the village.

Jaguar is known as a 30% off leopard. Zhang Chen's Jaguar XJ also has a low value preservation rate. A two-year-old quasi-new car is almost half the price.

The Cadillac, Lincoln and other models of the bald eagle country are also very happy with their value retention rates. Even if they are not in the same situation as the Jaguar XJ, which is halved in two years, it is not much better.

Therefore, after taking into account factors such as face, economic affordability and other factors for Tang Hongbo, Zhang Chen still introduced a Cadillac CT6 2016 28T fashion to Tang Hongbo, even if the Cadillac models have such or other problems, the new car includes tax Landed at 478,000, two years of age, and mileage of 50,000 kilometers. Now it is only 210,000.

"Brother Zhang, didn't you introduce the Cadillac SLS Saiwei to me? How did you change the Cadillac CT6?" Tang Hongbo knew that there was a Cadillac CT6 in the car dealership. Spend money on a $200,000 Cadillac CT6.

"Because the Cadillac CT6 is new!" Zhang Chen introduced to you that the Cadillac SLS is derived from the Cadillac STS, while the Cadillac CT6 is the replacement for the Cadillac SLS. Models compete in dislocation.

The Cadillac CT6 is the same as the Cadillac SLS, with a tough and atmospheric appearance, as well as the current Cadillac family tear-eye (star waterfall) headlights. The two vertical rows of lights are very ceremonial at night.

The interior of the Cadillac CT6 is luxurious and high-end, with a strong sense of technology, especially the 2.0T top model, equipped with knee airbags, passive pedestrian protection, HUD head-up display, wireless charging, front and rear seat electric adjustment with heating and ventilation massage, The BOSE sound of 34 speakers is better than the treasure of the Eagle Kingdom on Zhang Chen XJ...

More importantly, the Cadillac CT6 has created a business atmosphere to the extreme. Compared with the old Cadillac SLS, the comfort has been greatly improved.

Because the Cadillac CT6 has the blessing of the rear-wheel steering system, the driving and handling of the whole car is very good. Even if the car is over 5 meters long, it does not feel bloated and heavy to drive. Compare.

The 2.0TLSY turbocharged engine carried by the Cadillac CT6 has a maximum horsepower of 241 horsepower. The power is a bit weak, but it is sufficient. However, due to the use of a general 10R80 (10-speed) gearbox, the fuel consumption is more than seven points per 100 kilometers, compared to 100 kilometers. In terms of the huge body of the Cadillac CT6, it is actually very conscientious.

As for the common problems and shortcomings that Tang Hongbo is concerned about, the Cadillac CT6 has many problems, but there are no problems with its three major parts, and the problems are mainly concentrated in the sealing of the body.

Headlights entering water, body leaking, and door air leaking are the main problems. The engine and gearbox make abnormal noises, but they occur less frequently (mainly because fewer people buy this car).

The worst part is the preservation rate of the Cadillac CT6, which has dropped by half in two years.

So Zhang Chen advised Tang Hongbo~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to buy a car that is two years old and has less than 50,000 mileage at half the price. It is still in the warranty period and enjoys the manufacturer's warranty. How affordable it is, and at this price, you can't buy BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz of the same age.

Tang Hongbo was a little impressed by what Zhang Chen said about the Cadillac CT6. He frowned and tried hard to recall the detailed information of the model. He felt that as Zhang Chen said, the Cadillac CT6 was more suitable for him.

However, the price of this Cadillac CT6 in the four seas is too high. It costs more than 200,000 yuan. Even if Tang Hongbo can buy it, it will affect his other plans.

"Xiao Tang, as Zhang Chen said, you have to take into account your actual needs and make up your own mind. After all, you are the one who knows you best, and no matter how accurate the advice others give you, it cannot replace your own judgment. Wang Keqiang saw Tang Hongbo's embarrassment and persuaded him kindly.

"Yeah, you still have to make up your own mind. I'm just talking about opinions for reference." Zhang Chen agreed with Wang Keqiang, "The paint of this Cadillac SLS is brand new, the original paint is not scratched, and the interior is worn out. It's not serious, just carefully prepare a car that pretends to be just two or three years old. If you don't want to spend more money, choose it. If you want to drive for two more years, buy a Cadillac CT6. After all, this is a two-year car. An old new car can still drive for a long time."
