this year, the average sales price of automobile market increased by 10000 yuan year-on-year
Since the beginning of this year, there has indeed been a substantial price increase in the automobile market. However, is such an increase of hundreds of thousands of fares legal? How should consumers deal with such a situation?
People in the automotive industry told reporters that affected by the epidemic this year, there is a global shortage of automotive chips, resulting in an imbalance in automobile production and sales and a serious shortage of some models. The average sales price of vehicle market has increased significantly. Among them, the average sales price of traditional fuel vehicle market this year has reached more than 156000 yuan, an increase of about 10000 yuan over the same period last year.
Cui Dongshu, Secretary General of automobile market research branch of China Automobile Circulation Association : many enterprises choose to produce more high price and high configuration models, so as to ensure that the same car and the same chip can obtain greater profits and relative sales. at present, there are many dealers selling at increased prices, which is a serious illegal act.
According to the provisions of the measures for the administration of automobile sales issued by the Ministry of Commerce, dealers shall clearly indicate the prices and service charging standards of selling automobiles, accessories and other related products in appropriate forms on the operation site, and shall not increase the price or charge additional fees beyond the bid price. Such as licensing, ex warehouse, decoration, insurance and other expenses, consumers can not be forced to pay.
Yan Bing, chief lawyer of Beijing Yuntong law firm : consumers have the right to decide whether to accept a certain service and buy or not to buy any product. Bundle sales certainly can’t work.
Legal experts suggest that consumers can ask the seller to indicate the price when purchasing vehicles, and pay attention to the price terms, delivery cycle, product model and configuration of vehicles in the sales contract.
Yan Bing, chief lawyer of Beijing Yuntong law firm : including decoration and insurance, these are items that consumers can choose to buy or not to buy. Don’t just rely on the introduction or oral commitment of the seller. The transaction contract is the most powerful voucher for consumers to protect their rights in the later stage.
