After buying Audi, what changes do you feel in your life?

I'm not afraid of your jokes. 10 years ago, I drove a hatchback Fiat Palio. With my slightly tall and chubby figure, I bent down to go in and out every day, which was a bit like MengMeng. Compartment, cheap, characterized by convenient parking, don't worry about where to throw it. Later, when I transferred to Beijing, the small car showed its advantages, and it could be parked in the corner, saving a lot of parking fees. Once on a business trip for a month, I parked my car in a gap on the corner and couldn't find it when I came back. It turned out that the car was towed away because of road construction, and it was full of dust. I didn't feel bad at all.

After working in Beijing for a year, a colleague said, you still drive a Paliod. Don't be too low-key. How can our subordinates buy a car? Sometimes I will take the initiative to see the guests off at the front desk, but people try not to choose my car. Hehe, seeing others look disgusted, I decided to buy a mid-range big car. My family is spacious and at least the price is falling when I drive out. We are from China, and we can't get rid of face thinking.

Of course, there is another reason: Palio is a foreign license plate. 10 years ago, it was not as strict as it is now, and it was all over the street. At present, foreign licenses have to apply for Beijing licenses, which are restricted by the five rings. After being fined several times, I decided to change trains. I didn't expect my luck to explode, so I quickly shook the number. Under the shock of multiple factors, especially after the lottery, I have to buy a car within six months, and my family decided to change cars immediately.

At the beginning of 20 12, my target model at that time was about 200,000-250,000. What I wanted at that time was to conform to the workplace environment and interpersonal atmosphere.

1 At that time, the official cars of the company's senior staff were Audi A6, and the family cars were generally intermediate BMW and intermediate Mercedes-Benz, with prices ranging from 300,000 to 500,000. Because their annual salary is around 800,000, it is affordable, it meets the popular standards of the people at that time, and it is both public and private, such as occasionally picking up guests and driving to the venue, which seems to be inferior to the surrounding vehicles.

At that time, there was no special car at the middle level of the company, so I applied to the office for official car and filled out the car dispatch form. Family cars are generally Passat, Camry and the like, and the price is around 250 thousand. Let's do it as usual. A little lower than the top. The idea of seniority is still serious, especially at the middle level. People are not necessarily short of money, just follow the hidden rules. No matter how rich you are, you can't drive better than your boss Ordinary employees don't care, but the middle level is more rational and disciplined.

At that time, the family cars of ordinary people below average were generally Corolla and LaVida, and the price was between150,000-250,000. Newly-married young people with good family circumstances drive BMW Mercedes-Benz Land Rover Cayenne, and there are almost no luxury cars, not because they can't afford them, but because parents don't allow their children to be too ostentatious. Young employees buy good cars, such as about 400 thousand high-end cars. First, they get married at home. Second, people are really not short of money. Third, young people generally pay more attention to arranging music. So young people switch to small BMWs and Mercedes-Benz.

Although some people are not convinced and like hard leverage, hidden rules have been formed in the system for many years, paying attention to seniority and queuing for fruit. As an ordinary employee, you should start a big career. Although your family is rich, your colleagues, including your boss, will respect you very much. First, you are ostentatious, second, you don't understand the world, and third, you broke the "rules", which inevitably makes people say that grapes are sour. Many people are not as broad-minded as the sea. Most colleagues and bosses will think so. Even if you are so rich, you should put down the good things in the unit. You are not short of money anyway. Therefore, as a result of your propaganda, many good things can't be obtained. Mature people will naturally suppress their desire for consumption and drive a private car that conforms to everyone's atmosphere, so as not to make everyone envy and hate and miss many good things.

10 years ago, there was an established standard for official vehicles in the system.

1 bureau level, prefecture level and above, black Audi A62.4 is standard, although the exhaust volume also exceeds the standard, but the law does not blame the public, and all parties acquiesce. After all, Audi A62.4 has already been bought. Someone deliberately removed the symbol of 2.4 and replaced it with 1.8. There is no money here.

In the county, especially bold people dare to take the Audi A6, and most of them are Passat. Division-level cadres in production units have undergone a makeover, and Toyota overbearing off-road vehicles are popular, nominally used to command vehicles, but the price is more expensive than Audi. In recent years, especially after the "eight regulations", many enterprises and institutions have carried out private car reform, from private cars to directional services, and then began to make up.

Below the county level, unless it is an independent unit, cadres below the department level can also be equipped with official vehicles, and the general staff have received car subsidies and implemented a car application system. Some units have also implemented the internal marketization of official vehicles, using one-time tickets, hehe. Change the soup without changing the medicine.

Generally speaking, some people earn money at both ends, such as directional service or his private car, and some earn thousands of dollars a month for free. In the past two years, it has become more and more strict, basically retaining the No.1 car, and other vehicles are managed and deployed in a unified manner. Due to the upgrading, the grade of red-flag vehicles has also come up, and many units have begun to equip red-flag official vehicles.

My family and I went to a large car sales center, turned around and made repeated comparisons. Originally, we saw Passat, Camry and Honda. When I turned around, I was suddenly moved by the 20 13 Audi A4L. I can't tell you how I feel. In short, it is a few words: heavy, steady, generous, decent, durable, face-saving and supportive. At that time, Audi A4 was promoting sales, and then gave a gift package of 20,000 yuan at a 10% discount. The insurance company is also around you, and the preferential terms are very attractive, as if it were a one-year insurance.

Seeing Audi, I can't pull my legs. At that time, it was decided to increase the budget and directly start with Audi A4L2 13. Discuss with the sales, don't want any big gift packages, and directly convert them into money to offset the car purchase. The sales actually agreed, and the total landing price was about 3 1, which was 60,000 more than the budgeted 250,000.

I also went through an ideological struggle at that time. Middle-level enterprises bought two audis, did they break the hidden rules? After all, the top management of the enterprise only configured Audi. Later, after argumentation, Audi A4L belongs to civilian vehicles and does not impact the official vehicle system. The official car is Audi A6, and A4 is a civilian car. The key is, think about it, 300,000 yuan to buy a new Audi, 300,000 yuan can enter the BBA class. At that time, leapfrog was really a good feeling.

The Audi A4L20 13 I bought is silver-gray, durable and dirt-resistant. The key is that the distinction between silver and business black is obvious. I didn't choose white, considering that it is not suitable for me to drive white, girls like to drive white Audi, so men forget it. In addition, the silver-gray Audi is suitable for both men and women.

Time flies. It's been ten years. Does buying Audi change your life a little? What a change.

1 It feels like changing guns. Little shabby Palio, replaced by Audi A4L, is no longer evasive when driving out. I used to drive to work and park Palio far away, so I was embarrassed to say "I'll take you home". Nowadays, driving everywhere feels very hard. Although some people say this is vanity, alas, who is not vanity? This is the basic underlying logic of human nature. If you have something, you won't be vain, just like if you have money, you dare to wear old cloth shoes. Until now, I don't drive to work, because with bicycles, my wife and I ride bicycles to work every day.

It is still very supportive to go back to my hometown for the New Year every year. In a small town, ordinary people still have a car with a price of 10- 15000 yuan. If you drive an Audi, it will give you extra points to support the table, which at least shows that you have done a good job. Of course, people speak highly of you, thinking that you have done a good job, are sensible, keep quiet and have the best of both worlds. If you drive a BMW back, even if the price is similar, people will think that you are pretending and showing off.

I also feel reasonable at work. If you bought a small mercedes benz c and BMW series with the same price in those years, you will look very ostentatious in your thirties. In everyone's mind, BMW and Mercedes are still luxury goods, but Audi is not. The key is that Audi is more in line with the unspoken rules of paying equal attention to official and private affairs. Due to the stereotype of the long-term official car Audi A6, Audi A4L is much more practical, not as impetuous, frivolous and flamboyant as BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Therefore, within the system, the Audi A4L is the most suitable car with a budget of 300,000-400,000, and there is no one. For example, the comparison between Audi and other models. The comparison between Audi and BMW and Mercedes-Benz has been mentioned above. At the same price, there are Volvo, Lexus and Crown. Although those models are also good, I always feel that I have not entered the BBA.

Audi A4L has been in operation for 10 years. To tell the truth, Audi A4L is the first choice for small middle-class, middle-level department managers of enterprises, middle-level state-owned enterprises, secondary units of middle-level central enterprises, middle-level institutions, businessmen who do some business, young people who just have some money, university teachers and so on, with an annual salary of 200,000-500,000.

The cost of driving Audi.

1 Just took a look at the fuel consumption. When driving in the urban area, the dashboard shows oil per 100 kilometers 10- 12, and the expressway is at a constant speed 100- 120 kilometers, and the oil per 100 kilometers is 6.7-7.8. The current price of No.95 gasoline is much higher in 6 yuan, which is about 100 km between 40 yuan and 70 yuan.

Maintenance is a bit expensive. I basically opened a large Audi 4S store near my home according to the 5000-kilometer small insurance and 60000-kilometer big insurance, set up a loyalty card, downloaded its APP and connected all the insurances in series. There are often some big package activities, which save a lot of money by buying insurance and sending maintenance and repair fees. Usually the small insurance is about 1500 yuan. For example, I made a small insurance before going out on May 1 this year, made a combination boxing and used up all the coupons. It only cost more than 900 yuan and went out safely.

3 insurance costs. I am the kind of person who drives steadily. I don't drive fast, I don't get angry, I drive slowly. The insurance premium has been reduced to the lowest discount, and now it is about 3000 yuan at a time. Every time I buy insurance, I sometimes buy it from telephone consumers and get back more than 900 yuan. If I go to the designated 4S store to buy it, I will discount it to the car repair and maintenance APP. In short, the insurance premium is reduced to more than 2000 yuan.

4 oil problem. This year, it opened 7000 kilometers for maintenance and oil alarm. This is the first time in ten years. The 4S shop said that if you insist on the 5,000-kilometer small insurance, the oil problem is not a problem. In the future, I will stick to the insurance of 5000 kilometers, so I don't need to prepare engine oil in the car.

The shortcomings of driving Audi for ten years. First, I always feel a little fleshy at first, and I feel a little slack when stepping on the accelerator, but I drive steadily and don't pursue any maneuverability, which can be ignored. Second, there is a little meat when reversing. Without oil and strength, the sound of the radio will be weaker. Third, maintenance is a bit expensive, which may be the reason why I only go to large 4S stores for maintenance. However, being good at playing preferential combination boxing can save a little.

The current automobile market can be said to be changeable, and new cars emerge one after another, including electric vehicles, and electric vehicles such as Tesla and Weilai are also expensive. Let me tell you the truth. I have seen all kinds of new styles in the past ten years, and there are many beautiful ones. But my Audi A4L20 13 is out of date, and I have face wherever I go. Some cars are different. At that time, they looked good. After being abandoned for a few years, they look a bit rustic. Audi belongs to BBA, especially Audi department. It has been so classic, outdated, generous, decent and practical for decades. This is the main reason why I am optimistic about Audi.

There is another key point, repeated reminders. If you work in the system, buying a car is a private matter, but I still advise you to take into account the overall atmosphere and interpersonal environment of the unit and try to meet the public's judgment. Of course, you have to be independent, even if I don't say so. For example, if you are a middle-level or business executive and you want to drive a Mercedes-Benz BMW, even a small Mercedes-Benz BMW, it always feels a bit nonstandard and ostentatious. You won't feel this way when you drive an Audi. Due to the stereotype that Audi is an official car, Audi A4L is easily and naturally accepted by people, can blend into the surrounding environment, is not enviable, and the most important thing is never out of date. Even after ten years, there is no psychological obstacle to driving out, and it is still a scenery on the road.
