With the higher and higher consumption level of people, C+ class executive flagship car gradually entered the consumption vision of working families, before Mercedes-Benz E-class, BMW 5 series, Audi A6L, are entrepreneurs or government dignitaries travel standard, now ordinary people work hard, it seems that it is not difficult to buy a flagship car. According to the statistics of the Passenger Car Association, in 2023, the Audi A6L, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and BMW 5 Series sold 181812, 142266, and 136655 units, respectively, of which except for BMW, which fell by 11.3% year-on-year, the other two models rose by 54.5% and 14.8% respectively. I have to admit that there are more and more wealthy people in China, no wonder the central bank released that in the first quarter of 2024, the per capita deposit in the mainland is only 110,000 yuan.
But buying a car often has a very real problem in front of consumers, a dazzling array of C+ class sedan market choices, in addition to different brands, the drive form also has fuel, pure electric, hybrid choice, once the choice is wrong or look away, the cost of trial and error is very high. Like this kind of high-priced automobile products, it will basically lose 5~60,000 yuan if it is sold separately, and ordinary families cannot afford it at all.
Therefore, if you buy a C+ class sedan in 2024, you must insist on "3 don't buy", which is not creating anxiety, but a lesson learned from suffering a lot of losses, and choosing the right car is often more important than following the crowd.
1. Don't pay for brand beliefs and stay away from common products
It is understandable that any car has shortcomings and shortcomings, but if it cannot be optimized and changed for many years, this kind of car should not be bought. Many people know that some cars burn engine oil, chassis abnormal noise, and mild hybrid engines love to be bad, or follow the trend to start, for the sake of brand belief to endure the shortcomings again and again, until they use the car badly, only to find that regret is not at the beginning, but also suffering. If the main engine factory does not even have the confidence and strength to cure the common disease, why should consumers pay for such defective products?
And taking a step back, if some brands find a problem and know the problem, but they just don't correct the problem, this is arrogant and contemptuous of the Chinese market and even consumers. As long as the mass user is not used to their stinky problems, any problem will be solved.
Second, sales can be faked, but word of mouth cannot be reversed
Many people like to buy a car without a brain following the sales list, which can be understood on the entry model, but once it comes to high-end cars, there is a lot of room for maneuver in sales. In order to sell cars, some brands have changed the license plates of a large number of new cars to used cars, creating the illusion of booming sales. But if you go to the quality ranking list of the official media statistics of the national prefix, some cars not only have a high failure rate, but also a high maintenance zero integer ratio.
Now that the public opinion war on the Internet is intensifying, consumers are only seeing the tip of the iceberg of the automotive industry, and if you want to dig deeper into the truth, you have to pay attention to more convincing official media and real user feedback. was rhythmized by a few random remarks on the Internet, and it was himself who was hurt in the end.
3. Niche brands can't be touched
Mainstream manufacturers can survive for decades or even hundreds of years, and they must have the meaning and strength of their existence, whether it is hardware strength or software layout, the entire architecture has been tempered and matured in the market round of reshuffle. Some new brands have just debuted, and they do have a lot of publicity, but once there is a problem, it will collapse quickly, and it is the ordinary consumers who support him who will pay the bill and suffer. At that time, the promise and guarantee of buying a car will become a dead letter, and the maintenance of the car will become a problem in the later stage.
Therefore, in view of the above three points, everyone must keep their eyes open, it is all real money and hard-earned money, once you choose the wrong choice and buy the wrong one, it is equivalent to working for several years in vain. It is difficult for ordinary people to buy a car, and it is even more difficult to buy a satisfactory car, there is no perfect product in the world, but the one that suits you is the best.
