The purchase process of a second-hand car worth 150,000 yuan

The process of purchasing a second-hand car for 150,000 yuan

What car to buy for 150,000 yuan can be said to be a difficult task for a working-class man with no stable income but a small amount of savings. Questions to answer.

Today’s automobile market is no longer what it was ten years ago. Now a hundred flowers are blooming and a hundred schools of thought are contending. There are niche French cars that are unique and cost-effective, there are also domestic cars that are spacious and practical but do not maintain their value, and there are also highly praised German and Japanese cars.

With my understanding of cars, second-hand cars have gradually entered the editor's field of vision. Hey, it’s really only those who don’t have money to do the multiple-choice questions! Based on my own preferences and knowledge, let me first talk about the models I considered for 150,000. Let's go through time flashbacks.

What I’m looking at recently is the Lexus IS300\IS250. Lexus has been sought after by Chinese people in recent years. New car prices have increased, and second-hand cars are also strong. Even the IS from more than ten years ago has been mentioned repeatedly by many sentimental figures. . What I am paying attention to is the second-generation IS that entered the country, that is, the generation model without a spindle front face.

Lexus is really amazing. The model without the spindle was sold from 2006 to 2013. It sells well because of your willfulness! Although Lexus has an excellent reputation for excellent quality, second-hand ISs in normal condition that can be purchased for less than 150,000 yuan are at least 8 to 10 years old and have a history of more than 100,000 kilometers. The water for second-hand cars is too deep, and I can’t easily get involved in it if I wait for half a bucket of water. Don’t spend money easily without the guidance of industry leaders.

Let’s put aside the long-standing Lei cars and turn our attention to joint venture cars. The first thing to consider is that Mazda's steel wire (CX-4) is 2.5. I considered Mazda mainly because of its bluffing appearance, and it was recently revealed that Mazda's crash scores from the China Insurance Research Institute were all excellent, which made me believe that Mazda is a company with a bottom line. Just like a mute in the class who has good academic performance and good looks, at least you don't dare to look down on him.

CX-4 has absolute appearance and will not accept any excuses. The 2.0L power is really just enough. 2.5L power is what a sports coupe SUV should look like, don’t you think? The 2.5L CX-4 is far less available in the market than the 2.0. But luckily, every time I buy a Guazi or a second-hand car store, there will be about five or six cars to choose from in each region, with prices ranging from 110,000 to 150,000. Because of the large number of cars, the price of the 2.0L CX-4 is between RMB 11 and RMB 13. The mileage is basically 15,000 kilometers per year, which is in line with normal car usage habits.

In the process of looking at second-hand cars for a long time, I also had a few days in my head when I considered Ford's Focus ST, which was not for sale. The "2.0T 6MT" power system is not like buying a street car like the Civic, so you should really consider it. There is also DS5. I really can’t find a replacement for its unique design. I’m just worried about subsequent maintenance.

Back to reality, there is no mine or car repair shop at home, and 150,000 yuan can buy many new cars, such as the best-selling models of mainstream joint venture brands such as Guangzhou Automobile Honda Binzhi and Toyota Corolla. Of course, buying a brand new Honda Benzhi or Corolla is also a helpless choice, because apart from the quality and high value retention rate, nothing else is attractive enough in my opinion.

As a last resort, second-hand cars from domestic brands that are still under warranty are also considered. My personal first choice is GAC Trumpchi GS5 270T, because Trumpchi’s engine (remember it is 270T) is good. I have test driven GA6 and GS4 before, which left a very good impression on me.

The current second-hand price of the new GS5 is between 120,000 and 140,000 yuan, and the highlight is that it comes with a warranty! The advantages of large space and complete configuration are fully suitable for pragmatic buyers. When I thought about buying a second-hand GS5, my friends in the company said that you can buy a new GS5 car for less than 150,000, so why not buy a second-hand P car?

This is what I think. Under the same price, second-hand cars will have higher-level models and richer configurations. For example, Trumpchi GS5, a new car that can be bought within 150,000 yuan (landing price) is the second-lowest automatic transmission, while used cars can be purchased with top or sub-top configurations.

Next, second-hand GS5s in this price range are very new and don’t have much mileage, so just treat it like someone else is running it in for you.
