Do you regret buying an unpopular, niche or non-mainstream model now?

What's it like to buy an unpopular car? For me, it is really the rhythm of self-presentation. Use four words to describe, miserable.

20 1 1 year is a chaotic season. After driving the Guangben Feng Fan manual transmission for several years, small enterprises also have better benefits, and rich people are dishonest. And at that time, at that age, they were a little concerned about keeping up with the joneses, so they put changing trains on the agenda. Who knows that my wife is more attentive than me, and it will arrive in an instant. Choose an SUV with a budget of 350,000. To tell the truth, there were not many choices at that time. The most important thing was that I was thinking about not having too many similarities with others. I chose a niche model, preferably imported. This can earn more return rate, so I thought about it and chose the imported Renault Koleo at that time.

At that time, the transparency of China automobile market was not very high, and preferential policies varied from place to place. In addition, the automobile market is not so hot. The amount of discount depends on the efforts of two lips, and everyone has seen it. The result is really no discount. The four-wheel drive luxury model with a guide price of 292,800 landed at 330,000. If we put it now, the range of choices is really in the sea. If you want to vomit a liter, spit a liter first, because you will vomit more later!

French Renault's performance in F 1 was recognized, and Megane's small steel cannon was also famous for some time, so Koleo was also selected for this reason. Koleo was produced in Samsung workshop in South Korea, and there were * * * line products in South Korea at that time. Renault Nissan Alliance, so the three major pieces of Koleos are basically the things of the first generation Nissan Qi Jun, which is the beginning of a nightmare.

In addition to romance, the legal system also has an understanding of cars, which is the kind of card that does not follow common sense. At that time, everyone who opened the legal system to amend the law knew it. Koleo's owl-like interior design was very popular at that time, and so was I. The start button is in front of the gear handle, with a particularly high sitting position and a good view. The seat is a bit like a big sofa and the comfort is not bad.

Card keys, small tables in the back row, air-conditioning vents in glove boxes, small drawers under seats, and storage compartments under the back floor are really painstaking details that show the romantic feelings of the legal system to the fullest. At this point, the reason for choosing this car has been made very clear. The following is the beginning of regret. Unique is personality, not a fool. The skylight track is exposed, and dust can be accumulated in the skylight for one year, and the cleaning fee is 200 yuan. The air conditioning filter element is located at the bottom of the middle front end of the center console, so it is impossible to get a stronger one. ...

Insufficient after-sales service and problem-solving ability.

After buying a car for three months, I started the road of self-reliance. At that time, the CE navigation car was still in progress. Various map brands sell maps end-to-end, and Koleo's original factory is not worthy of navigation. However, Renault China cooperates with Suoche, and the deluxe edition can be equipped with a car navigation. I bought it for three months and found that the map couldn't keep up with the changes of the road. There are four classes a year. But the matching map has been separated for a year, and it often shows walking in the river. I went to the 4S shop and asked for an upgrade of the map. Compared with the after-sales service enjoyed by Guangben before, the difference is too great. I don't want to complain You can upgrade once 1.200 yuan. The after-sales manager is here, but it is still theoretical. In a rage, I began to study the road to cracking. For three days in a row, I studied the compatibility and logic of the navigation car, and perfectly replaced the original meridian and latitude maps with the latest cracked Khalid map. Moreover, the tutorial is widely publicized in the car forum. When the map is updated twice a year, the map resources are uploaded after the test is successful, which also helps many riders avoid the pain of being cut off.

The ratio of zero to whole is high, the accessories are expensive and the waiting period is long.

The zero integral ratio is the ratio between the price of parts and the price of vehicles for each model according to the regulations of the insurance association. The higher the integer ratio of zero, the more expensive the parts of this model are. Taking Koleos at that time as an example, 7 19% simply means that a new Koleos car can be sold back to 7 Koleos if it is disassembled to sell spare parts, which is more than 7 times, which is also one of the biggest pain points of niche cars. I tried my wife driving out of the parking space and hitting someone else's car. One headlight group was cracked, so I got insurance and changed the headlight group. I remember it was 9400 yuan. And because it is an imported car, many domestic accessories need to be out of stock, so we have to wait. The seven-day cycle is the average given by Renault, so you can imagine how painful this process will be.

After-sales maintenance workers' skills are uneven, which is already a compliment, forcing the owner to be the technical director.

Anyone who has experienced it knows how maddening Renault's maintenance department was at that time, except that there was almost no concept of maintenance. In our 4s shop, I almost became the technical director, so that the maintenance team leaders who often dealt with at that time all came out to open Renault stores. We are still good friends and discuss and learn maintenance knowledge together. This phenomenon will happen almost 80% no matter what the plastic card at the end of the tailgate cable is broken. If they change, I will connect them with a copper wire once and for all. I didn't even go to the air conditioning drain that was blocked by dust and caused water in the car. I pulled out the dust plug and took off the dust glue after nine turns and eighteen bends, which was a perfect solution. These are forced out, and car owners have a group to enjoy the experience, which is the only way.

Learned to defend rights, this experience can be published.

Car owners hold a group and share car information, so many sexual problems begin to break out. First, the Gateco CVT used by Qi Jun * * has abnormal sound, oil leakage and even steel belt fracture, so the gearbox assembly has to be replaced. That's a zero-to-seven accessory. At that time, the quotation was as high as 1.2 million, which scared many brain cells and attracted people's attention. Turns out it was 90% when the music was turned off. So a rider representative went to the headquarters of Beijing Renault China, facing the top management of Renault China. As a result, the technical director from South Korea's Samsung inadvertently said, "This is a structural defect of steel belt CVT, which can't be solved, and it will still exist after being changed." As the director was quickly transferred back to South Korea, we began a long road to safeguarding rights. It is also from this time that I have made a profound study on the cost, structure and working conditions of steel belt CVT, and it is not recommended to carry pure steel belt CVT on compact and above models.

Real-name complaints in the car quality network, appearances in major body forums, and placards at Renault booths at major auto shows. It is not an exaggeration to say that this process is thrilling. Because I am also the core figure of car owners' rights protection, I was approached by the staff of public relations company invited by Renault. You know, the tattooed PR staff. A cyclist held up a sign to defend his rights at the Guangzhou Auto Show and was detained for "causing onlookers to take pictures" 10- 15 days.

The oil meter is not accurate. By recalling and replacing the oil pump, the warranty period of the gearbox can be extended and the price of the gearbox can be reduced from about 6.5438+0.2 million to 49 thousand.

Tired, I vomited three liters of blood when I sold the car.

The five-year experience of opening Koleo is really tiring, especially when defending rights. I think this is a great responsibility. People in the public relations company said that according to Renault China's idea, they were all talking about recycling my car at the original price, just trying to make me stop, but morality made me feel that I couldn't do it. Because of the influence of riders, this thrilling negotiation was held, and I couldn't just leave them alone. The suicide note was written secretly at that time. Plus there are children at home, ready to change cars. Tired of the suffering of the car, I thought about it and chose the top version of Toyota Highlander 2.0T T. Driving Koleos all over our used car market, the low rate of preservation is not the point. Only five years later, I bought 330,000 cars, and the quoted price in the used car market was about 9- 1 1 10,000. Moreover, no second-hand car market is willing to accept it and only accept the sale. This is pain. They say that this kind of car costs one price every day, and it has fallen rapidly, so they dare not accept it. This situation makes me vomit blood for three liters, which is acceptable at a lower price, but no one dares to accept it. That's despair. Finally, I simply sold it and gave it to my sister's house, explaining the benefits to them and letting them decide whether they want it or not. Finally, they accepted. After all, there is little chance that they need a car, and they just walk around the city occasionally.

To sum up, it was very painful to buy a small car at that time, mainly because the market was immature and there were many walls to touch. But now I feel much better, mainly because the market is becoming more and more mature and all aspects of information are becoming more and more transparent. Take the hedging rate as an example. Generally speaking, those with high hedging rate will get less discount or even increase the price when buying, while those with low hedging rate will generally get a big discount when buying, and more is just the difference between enjoying when buying and enjoying when selling. Another example is the choice of vehicles. Now there are too many platforms for car owners to communicate, and there are relatively professional people in various fields who can provide advice and reference. Another example is repairing cars. Now is the age when information is available. No matter where you go, you can find relevant technicians to help solve the problem. Otherwise, experts can be invited to consult online. Another example is safeguarding rights and a society ruled by law. There are many platforms that can justify themselves. In the worst case, there will be no tattooed PR staff to discuss the solution. This is the progress of society and the benefit of China's mature automobile market.

At least for me personally, I don't regret it, and I bought a used car! 20 1 1 Golf Travel Edition, one is feelings and the other is work needs.

I didn't have more money to buy a brand-new car I liked (especially a station wagon and a German car), so I chose a car with a psychological price. At that time, the first choice was Volkswagen Touran (because we often need to install a lot of equipment and props for location shooting). Later, I saw the golf travel version of the same period, which was 20 thousand to 30 thousand expensive. After all, there is still a big gap between the two in the original car price. 1 1 Golf Travel Deluxe Edition has a guide price of 289,800 yuan, and it has import status, so I bought a second-hand car more than 400 kilometers away from/kloc-0, so I can only take photos in the local area, but I really like it and chose this eight-year-old car. Now I have been driving for more than 10 thousand kilometers, and I feel like my lucky star. Now my work is getting more formal and my business is booming. The travel version can form a huge space of 1.7* 1 meter when it is laid down. Even the 2.72-meter-wide background paper we usually shoot can be easily put into the car, which is really convenient.

Moreover, the travel version of the car gives people the impression that they know more about life and literature, which is also in line with our work label, and it will not be too embarrassing to drive out.

Therefore, I don't regret buying a niche car. The niche car does have its own shortcomings, such as not preserving value and high maintenance cost in the later period, but since it is chosen, we must consider the consequences! As an adult, don't pay for impulse. Think more about everything!

In fact, for car consumption, as long as it suits you and can afford it, it is the best and there is no regret.

Now, the number of cars in China has reached 200-300 million, and many people are eager to join the ranks of car consumers, taking a new car as their comfort or as a symbol and proof of their success. Faced with the richest automobile market in the world, people have enough choices, so some consumers choose some models that are not so popular, or unpopular, or niche, or non-mainstream, so some people want to ask, do these consumers regret it?

In my opinion, this person may have regrets, but I believe more people will still affirm and stick to their choices. In the final analysis, you should drive and enjoy yourself. In the whole process of driving and using, the owner's own feelings are undoubtedly the most important. My home. As long as I love, I am responsible, and nothing can stop my love. Of course, only if the economy can afford it.

But as the subject said, these cars may not sell well for various reasons and become explosions, all over the street. But they may all have some advantages, which make them win the support of some consumers and become their fans. These cars either have strong power and off-road ability, or accelerate quickly, which can bring more speed and passion, or are entrusted with some special feelings and memories. Although it can't be paraded, it still has its own unique light in the corner.

I still have a car, but I have no regrets.

Will you regret buying a niche model or an unpopular model?

As a minority car owner, I think I still have a say. My car is Julia of Alfa Romeo. I remember that when the 20 18 car was first introduced into China, I immediately placed an order, and there was almost no discount when I bought it. After nearly two years of car experience, let me talk about my car experience.

I personally pay great attention to handling when buying a car. At that time, I also considered the BMW 3 Series and went to a store in 4S for a test drive. During the test drive of BMW 3 Series, I was satisfied in all aspects, but I bought a car purely to experience the fun of control. To put it bluntly, it's just fun, without considering any brand power. But I always felt that the BMW 3 Series was too bad in the street and lacked personality and style, so I turned left and walked into Maserati's exhibition hall.

When I saw Alfa Romeo GIULIA, I was directly confused by its enchanting posture and the front net of the inverted triangle. When I got into the car, I couldn't stop seeing the red interior and the same ignition method as Ferrari, and then I asked for a test drive. When I test-drive Alfa Romeo GIULIA, I found that its handling and playability are far greater than BMW 3 Series, so I decided to order one.

In the process of using the car in the past two years, I have encountered countless troubles. For example, Alfa Romeo GIULIA's workmanship is really poor, and there are many abnormal noises; Brand awareness is really low. Many people ask me what kind of car this is, and some people say why I don't buy the BMW 3 Series at the same price.

However, Alfa Romeo GIULIA is still very cool for me to drive, and the appearance and interior also attract me deeply, so I have never regretted buying this unpopular Alfa Romeo GIULIA.

Why do you regret it?

Like a niche car is like its uniqueness. My first car was Fiat, and now my car is Subaru. It's a niche brand. This does not prevent me from enjoying driving. Cars are like your shoes. You don't know if they fit. Don't buy a car if you think about the insurance rate all day. Deposit the money in the bank.

Geely Borui, the "most beautiful domestic car" I bought.

Not small, but quite unpopular, with average sales.

Let's talk about regrets.

A. the hedging rate is too poor.

B. being considered an emperor by others.

C. the configuration is too high to change cars. This configuration check of the joint venture B-class car goes straight to 400,000.

D. the ingredients are expensive and cannot be repaired.

E. The modification potential is small, and the corresponding accessories cannot be found.

I guess some people will say Renault.

Do you have to buy streetcars everywhere to be happy? If the starting point of buying a car is to be less mediocre, then don't buy a niche car, niche is not good, niche is not good.

I have owned many cars before and after, and I have never chosen a model that is too unpopular, because I know that accessories are hard to find after several years. Even if it is a bad street style, just keep the car clean and tidy, and add some decorations or equipment that you think are useful and like. Let's just say that you may not find accessories for unpopular and non-mainstream models in a universal treasure.
