Chapter 123: Parallel Imported Cars, Big Trade Cars
"There is money and leisure."

"There are a lot of cars at home, and I want to try something new."

"Know a little bit of car knowledge, and can find problems in time."

"The price for feelings is too high."

……

Zhou Bing was in a daze, thinking about the conditions Fang Yuan said in his heart, filtering them one by one to measure whether he met the standards.

In the end, Zhou Bing felt that apart from having a little money and a better mentality, he didn't meet the conditions at all in other aspects.

Especially if you don't know how to drive, you can't even drive a Buick Excelle well. If you can't see the problems that have occurred, the irreparable damage caused by the car is a trivial matter, and it will be dangerous if your own safety is involved.

"I want to save my worries, not bother. Please come back to such an uncle, he is not playing with the car himself, but he is playing around with the car." Zhou Bing smiled wryly. He felt that although Fang Yuan was young, he did not Young people are impetuous, and they are very reliable in doing things. It is better to listen to him, don't spend millions for feelings, but buy home an ancestor who needs all kinds of services.

Zhou Bing seriously thought, since the Range Rover is not suitable for him, then this Toyota Tundra should be suitable for its durability, right?

At the entrance of the Tianhong second-hand car market, Zhou Bing listened very carefully to Fang Yuan's words that this Toyota Tantu uses a truck chassis with a plate suspension, the structure is so simple that nothing can be broken, and the leather is durable and not pretentious.

Toyota's engines, gearboxes, etc. are also famous for their reliability and durability, low fuel consumption, and cheap maintenance. As long as you maintain them on time and correctly, you will never have the same problems as the Range Rover, right?

In addition, the Toyota Tundra has a huge fuel tank and a huge space. It is a powerful tool for long-distance crossing. It is easy and easy to run thousands of kilometers.

After thinking about so many advantages, Zhou Bing felt more and more that Toyota Tundra is suitable for him.

The reason for this is that Zhou Bing thinks that after all, he is old and wants to complete the things he has been talking about before while he is still in good health and financially affluent.

Since the dream is hindered by reality, the wish cannot be fulfilled, the dream car in his heart is not suitable for him, and if he is not crazy, he cannot survive. Zhou Bing is cruel and simply puts his goal on the Toyota Tundra.

"Fang Yuan, what do you think of this Toyota Tundra? Is it suitable for me?"

Looking at Zhou Bing's burning eyes, Fang Yuan shook his head slightly: "It's not suitable for you."

"Not suitable for me? Why?" Zhou Bing was impatient. The Land Rover Range Rover just now had many minor problems and was not suitable for him. I can understand that this Toyota Tundra is durable, easy to maintain, and saves fuel and worry. It is perfect and cannot be more perfect , very much in line with the conditions Fang Yuan said.

Zhou Bing was agitated, and Sun Yanming hastily poured him a cup of tea to calm him down.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little confused." Zhou Bing quickly adjusted his emotions and waited quietly for Fang Yuan's explanation.

"The quality of this Toyota Tundra is really good. If you buy it, you don't have to run to the auto repair shop every three days like a Range Rover. As long as you maintain it on time and correctly, and drive carefully, you may only add glass water for many years." Fang Yuan He explained that the reason why the Toyota Tundra was not suitable for Zhou Bing was different from that of the Land Rover Range Rover. It was not caused by quality, but by other problems.

"Other questions?" This time, not to mention Zhou Bing was confused, even Liu Liang and others were curious, wanting to know what was going on.

"Yes, other reasons." Fang Yuan drove the Toyota Tundra all the way here. It has a 5.7-liter V8 engine and can accelerate from 6.87 to 8 in [-] seconds. During this period of time, the Toyota Tundra gave Fang Yuan the impression of its displacement It is big and powerful, and the V[-] self-priming high-speed power is continuous, very easy to drive, not like a super giant.

However, the Toyota Tundra has a body length of 5.8 meters and a wheelbase of 3.7 meters. With such a large body, it is difficult to turn around on the road and merge lines. It is particularly difficult when driving on congested roads and parking in and out of the basement.

Poor skills, people who are not used to driving big cars can't get in the parking space, and they accidentally drive other cars onto the curb when merging. Usually, they can pass the corners, but now they have to toss 1 In minutes, other vehicles can line up 100 meters away, and hundreds of people watch and turn around. Who can stand it?Helpless to the mind full of impulse to smash the car.

Zhou Bing is used to driving a compact Buick Excelle with a body length of only 4515mm, a wheelbase of 2600mm, and a front-wheel drive. Suddenly it is replaced by such a big four-wheel drive monster. It is better for young people to react quickly. Zhou Bing is getting older. , What if something goes wrong during the adaptation phase?
In addition to safety considerations, another important reason is that the Toyota Tundra is a parallel imported car.

"Parallel imported car?" Zhou Bing has been listening to Fang Yuan's introduction carefully, nodding his head from time to time to agree with his opinion, but when he heard the word parallel imported car, he couldn't help it, and asked curiously, "What is a parallel imported car?" car?"

"Before talking about parallel imported cars, let me introduce to you the sales channels of our Huaxia Passenger Cars." Fang Yuan deliberately explained to Zhou Bing that second-hand cars are not included, and now they are all new cars.

"The first one is the big trade car." Fang Yuan stretched out his left index finger in front of Zhou Bing.

Damao cars are authentic cars imported directly from overseas through official channels authorized by the official distributors of Volkswagen, Audi, Toyota and other multinational car companies in China.

After customs declaration and tax payment, it enters China, and then it is sold in regular car brand 4S stores all over the country.

For example, the imported version of Manager Sun's Skoda Octavia station wagon belongs to Damao.

"The Audi A4allroad you sold to Wang Zhi also belongs to Damao." Liu Liang added with a smile.

"Yes, as long as the imported car is legally sold by the official dealer of a foreign car company, it is called a Damao car." Fang Yuan stretched out his left middle finger and began to introduce the second type of parallel imported car.

Passenger cars are sold by official dealers of foreign car companies, as well as private companies.

These unofficially authorized private enterprise traders directly purchase imported cars from overseas and put them in ports in Tianjin, Shanghai and other places, instead of selling them in regular 4S stores of major brands.

Parallel imported cars pay taxes normally and belong to genuine cars with legal and regular status, but the introduction channel is unofficial, but only parallel to it, so it is called parallel imported cars.

Due to the different channels for private enterprises and traders to purchase cars, parallel imported cars are divided into many versions.

For example, most of the Toyota Prado parallel imported cars sold in Tianjin Port are "Middle East version", and there are also "Icelandic version", "Russian version" and other versions.

"I still don't understand what the 'Icelandic version' and 'Middle East version' mean." Zhou Bing said with some embarrassment, he was a little confused.

"You understand it this way." Fang Yuan simply made an analogy: the Middle East version is a model sold in the Middle East, which was purchased by our private enterprise traders in China and brought back to China for sale.

"So I understand." Fang Yuan explained this, and Zhou Bing's heart opened up. He knew that the "Icelandic version" was sold to Iceland, and then bought by a private enterprise trader in China, and brought back to China for sale.

But Zhou Bing soon had another question: "Is there any difference between a parallel imported car and a big trade car?"

"Yes." Fang Yuan said that both parallel-imported cars and Damao cars are genuine cars that are legally taxed, can be licensed normally, and can be legally driven on the road in China. The biggest difference lies in the after-sales service.

Because Damao cars are imported and sold by the official dealers of major foreign car companies in China, they have regular car brand 4S stores all over the country and provide official warranty.

When buying a Damao car, car owners can enjoy the after-sales service for several years or tens of thousands of kilometers stipulated by major OEMs.

Parallel imported cars belong to the business of grabbing big trade cars. Of course, the official dealers of major OEMs will not provide them with after-sales service. Some brand 4S stores do even better. Even car owners are willing to spend money and they will not provide maintenance. Serve.

What if a new car has no warranty?In fact, the country now has relevant regulations on the after-sales of parallel imported cars, but the implementation is just that.

Some dealers of parallel imported cars offer warranties, others do not.

Even if the parallel imported car dealers provide warranty, since the car owners are hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away from Tianjin Port, it is not cost-effective to go there.

In this case, car owners can only make up their own minds and find a reliable auto repair shop for maintenance and repairs.

Later, major insurance companies provided a professional insurance called vehicle quality insurance. This insurance was different from compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance. It was used to replace 4S shops to provide warranty services for owners of parallel imported cars.

The second difference is that according to the trade rules of parallel imported cars, the country allows importers to affix sub-factory nameplates.

This is because many foreign versions of models are different from China's various regulations in terms of fuel, lighting, emissions, etc.

In order to comply with China's import standards and pass China's 3C certification, import traders will find some manufacturers to adjust the details of the car.

For example, the installation method of the taillights has been changed, the central control has a Chinese interface, the mileage meter has been changed to a kilometer meter, the positions of the airbags have been changed to Chinese, the shape and position of the exhaust pipe must conform to the national standard, and so on.

Another difference is price.

The prices of Mercedes-Benz G, Porsche, Prado, Patrol, etc. sold in parallel imported cars are relatively low, and they are the most expensive models sold in China. The distance between Damao cars and parallel imported cars is greater.

Finally, there is the car model.

Parallel imported cars can buy some unpopular and niche models or models, such as the super sports car Wuling King "Corvette" owned by Chevrolet of Bald Eagle Country, the Toyota Tundra that Zhou Bing saw, and so on.

Just as Fang Yuan said this, Liu Liang suddenly interjected and said, "I heard that parallel imports are very tricky, and there are many ways to deceive people."

"There are bad people and good people everywhere. Parallel imported car dealers, of course, there are also good people, and there are also those who are willing to do business with integrity." Sun Yanming smiled wryly, and warned everyone to buy parallel imported cars. A little, generally still fine.
