Why do friends in the repair shop say Volvo is cheap to buy and expensive to use?
Owners who choose marginal luxury cars such as Volvo and Cadillac often have insufficient economic level to support the comprehensive cost of a luxury brand. Strictly speaking, it is to upgrade consumption!
Typical examples are England, finidi, Volvo and Cadillac. These three brands are not as good as the traditional luxury brand BBA, so in order to promote sales, these brands cut prices sharply, making the products under these brands affordable. For example, although British finidi, Cadillac and Volvo are luxury brands, they sell the prices of ordinary brands, so some friends buy them at the prices of ordinary brands, but they are unwilling to bear the comprehensive use costs of luxury brands, which is the source of complaints; After the maintenance in Britain and finidi was no longer free, many friends said that the maintenance cost in Britain and finidi was expensive, but after actual comparison, I found that the maintenance cost of Q50l was almost the same as that of Audi A4l. So, how can we say that the maintenance cost of the Edge brand is expensive?
It is nothing more than the low purchase price, so many riders compare the comprehensive use cost of Volvo and Cadillac with that of ordinary brands, which leads to more expensive statement, but compared with BBA, the price is not high; However, many friends who buy marginal luxury brands can't afford luxury brands, so they choose Volvo, Cadillac and finidi, which are more cost-effective. When they buy them, they are very cheap. When they buy as ordinary brands, they find that they should keep them as luxury brands, so they have the saying of expensive. BBA owners will never feel that Volvo and Cadillac are expensive to maintain, but ordinary brand owners will feel expensive. This is the difference!
Car parts with a small quantity are expensive.
Usually, we call a car with a small number of cars a niche car. Small car parts are few, expensive and difficult to determine. Second, it is less likely to be repaired. Why do people like to be overbearing in a place like Tibet with a vast population and poor environment? In addition to performance, the most important thing is that there are many accessories and they are cheap, which can be handled by any garage. This is the unique advantage of high-ownership models; A friend of mine bought a Dodge durango, which looks very domineering, but it is more troublesome to repair, and the accessories are difficult to order, and the price is super expensive! Dodge is the most common American brand, which doesn't match the luxury brand, but the price of accessories is still super expensive. Isn't it because there are few accessories on the market? If durango is everywhere, then parts will be less expensive and easier to decide; Therefore, the fewer vehicles, the higher the zero-integral ratio and the more expensive the parts; Therefore, the comprehensive cost of these niche brands is naturally more expensive!
Many riders who come into contact with these luxury brands for the first time often don't know about luxury brands and are easily fooled by 4S after-sales service. They dare to go to the project, and the consumption of the project is naturally high!
For example, a while ago, I went to finidi 4S store in England, where I met a rider from England and finidi. He was the first person to protect the car. An after-sales person and rider I know very well said, "I suggest that Shoubao clean the throttle and other riders do it." The sound of the car engine cleaned every time is really different. " After more than ten minutes of brainwashing, the new rider actually believed it and really agreed to clean it. Is it very harmful to clean the new car of Shoubao? This is why some riders complain about the high maintenance cost of some marginal luxury brands. In fact, they don't understand luxury brands. They think that luxury brands need to be maintained more carefully, which is actually redundant! Shopkeepers do what others recommend, so can the price be inexpensive?
In a word, the comprehensive cost of luxury brands such as Volvo and Cadillac is not more expensive than the traditional BBA, but the owners have no choice but to buy ordinary brands, but they have to bear the comprehensive cost of luxury brands, so these riders have the illusion of being expensive, and the comprehensive cost is not high, depending on who they are compared with. How can luxury brands be less expensive than ordinary brands? Another point is that the number of niche luxury brands is small, the ratio of zero to whole is high, and the price of natural accessories is more expensive, so the price of repairing cars and replacing them is also expensive! Volvo and Cadillac cars are cheap to buy and expensive to use? Old driver, tell the truth!
