For the 300 conqueror version of a tank, the official guide price is 213800, the car dealer charges nearly 230000 and sells more than 240000. This kind of story that should have happened to Subaru brz and Toyota 86 appeared on tank 300. Of course, this does not mean that the value preservation rate of this model is high, but only that the tank 300 is favored by consumers in the current second-hand car market.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic in 2020, the global chip market has been in short supply, which has also led to the shutdown and production reduction of major car enterprises, and the supply of some brand models is in short supply. In this context, the used car market has also become hot. According to the data of China Automobile Circulation Association, in 2021, the trading volume of used cars in China reached 17.585 million, a year-on-year increase of 22.6%. The proportion of used car trading volume in new car sales reached 0.67, a record high.
BBA is still a pastry
Just after the Spring Festival holiday, the reporter of Huaxia times visited many second-hand car trading markets in Beijing in recent days and learned that the sales of second-hand cars have been rising since last year. In addition to the popular models such as tank 300, BBA is still the favorite at this stage. For example, the official guide price of a 21 BMW X3 luxury suit is 389800, and the quotation of second-hand car merchants is as high as 370000, which can’t even be bought with money years ago.
The same situation also occurs in some joint venture models that have been discontinued. For example, the official price of Honda Accord 2018 flagship was 229800 in that year, and now the price of used cars fluctuates from 19000 to 210000, which is close to the official guidance price of 2022 new cars. In addition, the price of used cars is even 50000 yuan higher than that of new cars in 2018 and 19 Toyota Prados.
The most outrageous thing is the Mercedes Benz big g. due to the shortage of chips, now a big G has to add hundreds of thousands on the basis of the conventional price increase of hundreds of thousands, which has reached the point of exaggeration. Just as Luo Lei, vice president of the second-hand car Circulation Association, said: “since last June, the average transaction price of second-hand cars in China has risen by about 20%. Among them, the hot models are particularly prominent, and the second-hand new cars of medium and high-end models even have the phenomenon of ‘upside down’.”

However, the prices of not all models are so exaggerated. Second tier luxury brands Lincoln, Infiniti, red flag and other brand models, although the price has increased, it has not fluctuated significantly. Therefore, most second-hand car businesses begin to focus on BBA models. At least at present and even in the future, BBA will be the “hard currency” in the second-hand car market.
Mr. Wang said that the price of second-hand models such as the RS and the ES is quite popular, and some of them need to be increased by tens of thousands of yuan in the 4S market. Mr. Wang said that the price of second-hand models such as the RS and the ES is still popular for a long time. It is much faster to buy from the second-hand car market, and there is more demand. Our collection price will rise, and the price will naturally be higher. “It’s just the beginning of the new year, and there are not many people buying cars. In another month, the quasi new cars on the market may be more expensive.”
new energy models have no cars to buy
Compared with fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles showed a trend of no cars to buy. During the visit, the reporter saw only a few Tesla. At the same time, the reporter also found that second-hand new energy vehicles are basically ignored, which also reflects that the depreciation rate of new energy vehicles is not optimistic, although they are still popular at the new car level.
The reporter learned that the collection cycle of Weilai automobile is about 4-8 weeks, Xiaopeng is about 2-4 weeks, and the ideal is up to 7 weeks. The collection cycle of other models such as Zero run T03 is also lengthening. The same is the shortage of new cars. Why can’t new energy vehicles be reflected in the used car market? The reason is that the depreciation is too fast. According to the new energy vehicle hedging rate report released by China Automobile Circulation Association, the one-year hedging rate of velai ES6 is 78.12%, Byd Company Limited(002594) Han EV is 76.06%, Tesla Model 3 is 73.35%, Xiaopeng P7 is 72.59%, ideal one is 71.10%, and velai es8 is 62.98%, which is far from the fuel vehicle market.
For most second-hand car dealers, the capital of car collection accounts for a high proportion, which requires a large amount of capital to turnover, and the car in hand should be sold at the fastest speed in order to make a profit through the price difference. Their biggest worry is that the car is back, but it can’t be sold.
A second-hand car sales told reporters that although many consumers now do not exclude new energy vehicles, they do not have so much demand for second-hand new energy vehicles. “Previously, I received a Tesla Model 3. Although the car was in good condition, it took five months to sell it. Now I really don’t dare to accept second-hand new energy cars. I can only use the consignment mode. The seller puts the car here and pays the owner when there are customers.”
In addition, for some potential second-hand car customers, buying new energy second-hand cars also needs to take risks. For them, what needs to be considered is how long the battery can last when the second-hand car is in their hands. A consumer who came to buy a second-hand car told reporters that it would be better to spend hundreds of thousands on a new energy car driven by others than to buy a new car directly. Now the second-hand ones are not easy to sell. If you want to sell them again in the future, it will be more difficult. It’s better to buy a fuel car.
Car dealers dare not touch and consumers dare not buy, which has become the current situation of new energy used cars. In addition, the lack of after-sales guarantee system is also a major problem in the depression of the new energy used car market. From the perspective of supporting facilities, new energy vehicle enterprises on the market will install charging piles for consumers free of charge, but second-hand car owners can’t enjoy this service. This also reflects the need to improve the after-sales of new energy used cars.
According to the current situation, the new energy used car market is indeed cold. However, fuel vehicles have matured the market with a century of development, and new energy is just emerging, with broad development prospects. At present, some new energy vehicle enterprises have also begun to solve the quality assurance problem of second-hand new energy vehicles. For example, Weilai automobile released the second-hand car business system; Saic Motor Corporation Limited(600104) established a used car Certification Center. Liu Xiaoshi, Executive Deputy Secretary General of China electric vehicle hundred people’s Association, said: “with the increase of electric vehicles, the second-hand trading volume of electric vehicles will also increase significantly. It is expected to reach 200000 or even higher in 2025.”
