China News Service, June 2. According to the US "World Daily" report, the second-hand car market in Southern California continues to be hot. The Chinese bought a new car a few days ago and participated in the online auction the next day, earning a net profit of more than 3,000 yuan in one day (USD, under same).

　　Cristian, a Chinese, has been operating a Huamei Auto dealership in El Monte, Los Angeles County for many years, mainly engaged in the sale and purchase of second-hand cars. On May 17 this year, she bought a Toyota Camry SE at a 4S shop.

According to Cristian, at that time, the 4S store added 7,000 yuan to the original price. "I knew the market well, so I bargained with the other party, and finally added 1,600 yuan, and the total price was more than 31,500 yuan."

　　The next day, the newly acquired new car participated in the online auction. In just a few hours, there were 27 bids. In the end, an ordinary Toyota Camry was sold at a price of 34,700 yuan. Cristian made a net profit of more than 3,000 yuan in one day.

She said, "The market is really crazy now. Even if you buy a car at a higher price, you can still sell it at a profit. We have been in this used car market for so many years, but we never thought that an epidemic would make the car market like this. , it's incredible."

　　In Cristian's memory, the used car market has been hot since last year, and this year it has intensified.

In March and April last year, her Huamei Auto dealer purchased a Mercedes-Benz car at a price of 23,000 yuan. After that, the car was rented for a year and the rent was more than 16,000 yuan. Today, the estimated value of the car is 28,000 yuan.

Cristian said: "For more than a year, the price of this second-hand car has risen by 5,000 yuan. In the past, the second-hand car has been driven for a long time, and the mileage will increase, and the price will fall. Now it does not fall but rises."

　　Such a situation is not an isolated case, and there are many examples in the market.

According to relevant data, used cars have risen by about 40%, and new cars have risen by more than 10%.

The main reason for the high price of used cars is that the production capacity of new cars cannot keep up with the epidemic for more than two years, the supply is insufficient, and new cars cannot be bought, so consumers have turned their attention to the second-hand car market.

According to Cristian, “The used car market is completely determined by supply and demand. If the market demand is too great, the price will rise rapidly.”

　　According to the reflection of many consumers, at present, when going to a 4S store to buy a new car, the most common models have to wait two or three months, and at the same time they have to increase the price.

A Chinese who did not want to be named said, "A new car of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan has to be booked at an average price of 5,000 yuan, and there are many additional fees in it."

　　Cristian said that she was able to buy this new car in a short period of time by luck. She called around to find a current car, and finally bought it at a remote car dealership. "But the current market is that we often take customers to book a car, even if If you wait a few months to get the car and then do an online auction sale, you can still make a considerable profit.” (Shao Min)
