Oil prices are soaring, new energy vehicles are rising
New energy used cars are on fire! The car in good condition will be sold on the same day
"New energy second-hand cars are very popular. Basically, you come to sell one. If you want a car, make a reservation first." This is the most frequently said sentence to consumers by dealers in the second-hand car market recently.
Two things have been causing some headaches for people looking to buy a car lately: soaring gas prices and a general rise in trams.
Such a big environment has brought fire to new energy used cars.
What is the current situation of the used car market in Hangzhou?
The reporter visited the second-hand car trading market in Chengbei Automobile City and Gongshu District.
New energy used car market
Why continue to thrive
Can't stand the surge in oil prices
Someone sold a fuel car and started a new energy car
"Because of the rise in oil prices, more people are selling cars now, especially fuel cars. There are a lot of people selling them recently." Mr. Zhang, a salesman of Hangzhou Hengguan Cars, told reporters.
Mr. Wu from Huzhou recently sold the old Cadillac XTS he bought in 2016 and replaced it with a Xpeng P7. He works in the bank and basically drives around the city, and the fuel consumption of the car is basically around 18. For Mr. Wu Cadillac is really a "gas guzzler".
At the beginning, when the oil price was five or six yuan, it cost about 350 yuan to fill a tank of oil. Now, after the oil price "breaks 9", it costs nearly 600 yuan to fill up a tank of oil, and the cost of using a car is much higher. After thinking about it, I sold the fuel car and replaced it with a new energy car.
The same is true for the used car market right now.
"There is not a big demand for second-hand fuel vehicles to buy cars, while second-hand new energy vehicles are very popular. The best seller is Tesla, because now Tesla's new car prices have risen, but the price fluctuations of used cars are not that big. " said Mr. Zhang, a salesman of Hangzhou Hengguan Cars.
New energy used cars are on fire
The car in good condition will be sold on the same day
"Some new energy vehicles were taken from the same day. Xiaopeng, which was just received yesterday, received the customer's deposit on the same day and sold it." The dealer of Hangzhou Juxinming Vehicle told reporters.
The New Energy Museum of Chengbei Automobile City is full of second-hand new energy vehicles. The vehicles are mainly self-owned brand new energy cars and SUVs, as well as Tesla and other well-known overseas brands.
Sales said that in the past, the inventory circulation time in the exhibition hall was about 30 days. After the Spring Festival, the average circulation period of vehicles in the store dropped to 15 days.
Some hot-selling models in the new car market are particularly sought after, and C-end buyers can be found almost within a day.
For new energy used cars, the price/performance ratio seems to be higher. There is a 2014 model S in the store for only about 270,000 yuan. The previous car of more than 1 million yuan is now sold at a 30% discount.
The sales in the store told reporters that if you want to propose a new car, there are now Tesla orders for a new car: an order for a long-range Model Y that is on sale, you can pick up the car within half a month, and the owner's original order. The order price is 347,900 yuan. If you want to buy it, you can add 10,000 yuan to the owner's original order.
The price of the long-range Model Y on the official website is now 375,900 yuan.
Weilai opens second-hand car store
What is it like for car companies to enter the second-hand car market?
At the same time, new energy car companies with a keen sense of smell are also frantically encroaching on the used car market.
The reporter found that Weilai also opened its own second-hand car store in the new energy car hall in the North Auto City.
Compared with a comprehensive used car dealership, NIO’s official used car franchise store is more reliable. It has launched the NIO Certified used car business to provide users with full-process services such as vehicle inspection, evaluation, acquisition and sales.
Several new forces such as Tesla and Xiaopeng have also launched official online used car business in the past year or two.
It has to be said that from the bright side, major car companies have indeed made many consumers full of confidence in second-hand new energy vehicles by intervening in the second-hand car market.
However, those who understand the stakes will know that the purpose of car companies' involvement in the second-hand car market is not to engage in the second-hand car business, but to stabilize prices and reduce the risks faced by car owners when purchasing new energy vehicles. Promote new car sales.
Is the new energy used car market so strong, is it really caused by the recent surge in oil prices?
In fact, it is not. The deeper reasons are rising raw material prices and shortage of chips.
Insufficient capacity supply has made the process from ordering to delivery of vehicles very long.
Experts said: "The shortage of chips has led to a decline in the production of new cars, especially the shortage of some short-selling models, and the price of new cars has increased. Consumers choose to wait and see when buying a car. Some customers who are in urgent need of buying a car turn their attention to second-hand cars, resulting in second-hand new energy. There is a certain growth in the overall demand of the car market.”
"The cost of using new energy vehicles is low, and there is no purchase tax and no purchase restrictions. The social environment trend is more inclined to use new energy vehicles, making more and more consumers rush to new energy used cars." A salesperson told reporters.
At present, the sales price and inventory turnover of new energy used vehicles have shown a significant turnaround.
On the Guazi used car platform, the reporter searched with "new energy" as the key word and found that there are more than 1,000 new energy used cars on sale, with prices ranging from 60,000 to 280,000 yuan, with a large selection space and model styles. many.
Looking at the entire used car market, although new energy used cars have a short start, but the strong market demand, the young "new second" industry has emerged, and new energy used cars are developing their own blue ocean in the red ocean of the industry. .
