The question of whether to buy a car or not has bothered me for two or three weeks.

I only sold the small QQ last year. She has been with us for almost 13 years. At that time, I was really reluctant. But the car is really old. We use our cars too often. After the baby lives in the school, it is not used once in three months.

We all go to work close to home. It's a 10 to 20 minute walk. Even if our company moved in the future, it would be so far away that it was unimaginable for me to drive by myself.

I don't like to drive. Because he is not good at drilling and squeezing, he is often squeezed and unable to move. Sometimes the gentleman gave way, and I watched one car after another drive in front of me, and I could only stare at it with a blazing eye. And I'm driving slowly. Resembles a snail.

However, from time to time, the epidemic is like a strong wind passing through and sweeping over. Once a case was discovered, everyone was trembling, and they couldn't wait to close the door, and the mask was welded to death in the face.

Usually the baby goes to school, it is the subway directly, half an hour to arrive, very convenient. However, as soon as the epidemic broke out, the school immediately informed that it could not take public transportation. Neither the subway nor the bus can be used. And taking a taxi is also afraid of having a close connection. Public places are afraid of time and space companions.

In this way, it becomes a big problem for the baby to come back on the weekend. Every time I rubbed the car of her dormitory classmates, I was almost blushing.

It's quite risky to let the baby come back by herself. After all, it's a sophomore year of high school. If you have a yellow code and are quarantined at home for two or three days, you can't imagine how many classes in mathematics, physics and chemistry will be missed.

And when the baby arrives at the weekend, he is the fastest one, rushing home. It's understandable. Kunsan's learning rhythm is still intense, and there is a lot of homework. She guessed that she wanted to go home and relax.

I finally felt the need for a new car for my family.

For this reason, I discussed and even argued with the boss for two or three weeks.

Why is it noisy?

I don't think I can even understand the brain circuitry of men playing with cars now.

He said that he wanted to buy a second-hand car considering the lack of car. said about 50,000 yuan, and you can buy a better joint venture car. It's good to drive casually for a few years. It doesn't cost money and it's convenient.

I don't want a used car. But I didn't want to drive, so I bought it mainly because he drove it. Okay, then listen to the used car offer.

A friend of his, who happened to have a second-hand car resource, quickly sent a photo. There are Mazda, there are golf. The car is in good condition, and it's good to look at the photos. It is said that both the engine and the gearbox are relatively good.

I think it's okay to look at the photos. Didn't think much of it. Ready to agree. I'm going to take the car too. The whole family has to use it, and it's a big thing, right, of course, everyone has to express their opinions.

My mom was adamantly disagreeing with buying a used car. But my mom doesn't even drive. So my mother's opinion is a reference opinion.

It's still being discussed during the meal. Then we talk about the age of the car. I was shocked all of a sudden. A car at this price turned out to be from 2011!

Ah, 2011! It's 2022 now!

In other words, this is an old car from 11 or 12 years ago!

Oh, my God. I can't believe it.

Even if the engine of the car is good and the gearbox is good, but for this reason, do you want to buy a car that is so old? Isn't it necessary to review a car twice a year for more than 15 years?

There's a good saying. Time is a pig-killing knife.

This will work anywhere.

Including to a car. No matter how good a car it used to be. Ten years, the appearance has been aged, the pipes have been aged, and the coils have been weathered, and the marks left by the years will be vivid.

Even if its three major parts are good, but what about the oil circuit? Will they also remain intact and youthful?

How is that possible?

I turned my face on the spot. After all, it's a big decision for the safety of the whole family. It's definitely not going to happen.

So I went to see the car on the weekend. In fact, some comparisons have been made on the Internet.

I was going for Chery. Looking at the online manufacturer publicity, I have been doing a lot of big activities recently. The discount is quite large. And I think the QQ car is not bad after so many years.

But the service of the 4S store is really disappointing. On the one hand, there are too few models. On the other hand, I feel that the 4S store and the manufacturer are not in harmony.

I asked if there were Tiggo 5 and 3 and the sales said no. I said, don't you all say there is in your propaganda? Sales pouting: Isn't this a manufacturer's requirement, no way. Propaganda still has to be fought.

If you can't see the model, you naturally have no interest in ordering. And Arrizo in the exhibition hall is a little depressed to sit in. Although the interior design and configuration of the car look pretty good. But we still don't like it.

Electric energy vehicles are small and the technology is immature. Don't dare to think about it.

So I walked down. In a store that is about to open, I saw a Buick Yinglang 1.5T Elite Edition. Red, the shape is very durable and atmospheric. However, after seeing Chery and then opening Yinglang to look at the interior, I immediately felt that Yinglang was really old-fashioned. It feels like a car from years ago. Not modern at all.

But the joint venture car, the power chassis these are more confident. The list price is 125,900, and the sales say that it can be reduced by 40,000, and about 98,000 can be won.

I was a little tempted and cut the price, 88,000. But they disagreed. Let's add a little more. So we went shopping again.

So he went to Geely. There are a lot of cars in the exhibition hall.

Previously, we took a fancy to the fourth-generation Emgrand on the Internet. I wanted to buy a high match. But after actually looking at it, I feel that the color scheme of the seat is a bit strange. Although there are 4 more airbags and side curtains, I checked it on the Internet, and it doesn't seem to be a particularly necessary configuration. And, if triggered in some cases, it can even be dangerous.

So I chose the middle match. The medium match is actually okay. There are car networking, navigation, built-in dash cam. 360-degree reversing video. Intelligent voice dialogue, etc. The space was ok too. I haven't looked into anything else. It's pretty comfortable to look at anyway.

I searched the internet for comparisons. There are more benign evaluations of the new Emgrand. Many people say that the gap between domestic cars below 100,000 and joint venture cars is not big. Especially in terms of configuration, the comfort of domestic brands has taken the lead.

Think about Yinglang's configuration. That Emgrand is much more comfortable.

When I went to the parking lot to choose a car, I started the car by sales, sat down and said, "Hello Geely, I want to listen to the song."

And then Geely started replying, okay. Put on a nice song. He hadn't introduced this before, and I hadn't inquired about it, but it was still good to suddenly see such a human-computer dialogue. We all laughed in the sun.

It's not bad to listen to the engine sound. Not too noisy. After all, I haven't owned a luxury car, and the requirements are low (laughing).

I'm not very good at haggling. The sales said that it could be 90,000 yuan. I say 8.8. So that I can settle down.

Geely sells quite a lot. There are a lot of people who come to visit. It's really better than Chery. Moreover, the sense of unity and unity of employees is quite strong.

Why?

Because during the test drive, I tentatively asked the driver who accompanied the test drive: Master, which do you think is better, Buick Yinglang or Geely Emgrand?

The master replied very dedicatedly: This, Yinglang is a joint venture car. Our Emgrand is a domestic car. But each has its own merits in terms of configuration, how to say this, radish and cabbage, each has its own love, it depends on everyone's preferences.

Pretty pertinent. But you can hear the drivers maintaining their own company brand. Unlike Chery, it feels like the 4S store and the manufacturer are two families.

Tossed all afternoon. When I swiped the card, I found that the third-party card had a limit, and I ran home to get the card. You still have to bring your card with you when you pay for large sums of money.

In fact, the car is a consumer product.

But we do need it now. Especially when the epidemic comes to visit from time to time, it is even more painful.

Before I went, I also used Zhou Yi to make a hexagram. The hexagram of thunder hydrolysis is two. I think hexagrams are pretty good. It's better to say that it is better to move. And thunder and water are born together. The thunder rumbles, the water waves infiltrate, all things are born, and the possibilities are infinite. (Don't ask me why I know, if you study Chinese medicine, you won't be able to say a layman.) ）

So it strengthened my determination.

I just don't know if the previous license plate number can still be used. The old license plate number is pretty good. If it can be used, it will not be drawn.

For a working family like us, buying a car of less than 100,000 yuan is also a very large and important expense. It's a big deal.

Although the economy is not very good now, I think it should be worth the cost. I haven't slept well in years! I don't want to toss me about this anymore!

Even though we ran out, we still didn't sleep well last night (wry smile, is this because of excitement?). ）

But I'm still a little happy in my heart. After the previous QQ car was sold, the man was depressed for several days. After that, he said it three times. Well, I remember it well. He dreamed about cars.

Twice he dreamed that he had bought a car by himself, and once he woke up and said that he had bought a red sports car in a dream. Special wind. I'm so happy in my dreams. I'm still happy when I wake up. Then it took a long time to realize that it was just a dream, and that joy was just brought out of the dream!

But when he talked about that empty joy, the regret and frustration on his face made people a little unbearable.

Another time, I said that I dreamed that I went with my mother to buy a car, but it was so ugly. He didn't like it at all. Wanted to tell us to retreat. When he spoke, he still had that gloomy look on his face. I just want to laugh. He probably thought about it in a dream, if we really bought it, I am afraid that we will not be able to return it.

Men's desire for a car is probably not something that women can understand, and they have never wanted to buy it before, but they also want to save a little. However, money is earned and spent. Now that he has bought a car, he has got his wish. In any case, the configuration is good. Power performance these, family cars, who can figure out a fast can't. All in all, he really has a car, and he doesn't have to dream all the time.

May everything get better and better. May the new car bring us peace and good health.

Thank you for listening to me haha.
