Chapter 675: Mazda 8 ([-]) Subscription
No, this Mazda 8 still has a central control screen, which can also display vehicle information such as air conditioners.

It's just that the central control screen is thin and long, and even those with bad eyesight can't see the numbers on it, and the information displayed is very little, which is equivalent to nothing.

Shinichi Sakamoto knew that the top configuration of the Mazda 8 has a central control, but the functions are pitiful.

This 2015 Supreme, as a mid-range model,

Lane departure warning, reversing image, active braking, uphill assist, automatic parking, steep slope descent, full LCD instrument panel, HUD head-up digital display, front fog lights, four-door window one-key lift, etc. Many models are now standard equipment configuration, this Mazda 8 does not have any configurations.

Among the existing functions, the air conditioner is manual, the handbrake is stepped on by foot, and the high and low beams are halogen...

In fact, there are no such things as full LCD instrument panel and HUD head-up digital display. Shinichi Sakamoto still feels nothing. The most unbearable thing for him is that there are no tire pressure monitoring, parallel assist, AUTO HOLD, adaptive cruise, and seat ventilation. .

Before getting in the car, you can go around the car to check the tires, the bottom of the car and the license plate. It doesn’t matter if you drive a nail or something when driving at low speed in urban areas. Veteran drivers can detect it, but they can’t grasp the tire pressure in time when driving at high speed. The actual situation made Sakamoto Shinichi very annoyed, because under-inflated tires at high speeds would lead to tire blowouts and car accidents.

Shinichi Sakamoto was also very upset about the lack of merging assistance. Even an old driver, when it rains heavily, the rearview mirror will be full of water without the heating function, and the vision becomes very poor. He can't see the situation behind and wants to change lanes When merging, the merging assistance can prompt the situation within ten meters of the adjacent lane to prevent accidents.

There is also this AUTO HOLD function, which Sakamoto Shinichi also likes very much.

In congested roads in urban areas, or frequently waiting for traffic lights, stop and go, frequent starting and stopping, you need to keep stepping on the brakes and dare not let go. Shinichi Sakamoto likes to turn on AUTO HOLD every time.

At this time, even if the gear of your car is in the D gear, Shinichi Sakamoto does not have to pull the handbrake or step on the brake all the time, and the car can always be in a stationary state to prevent rear-end collisions with others.

If you want to start, just step on the accelerator lightly, and the car will move forward.

And when going uphill from the basement, turning on AUTO HOLD is equivalent to bringing an uphill assist, even if an accident ahead causes your car to stop on a half-slope, you are not afraid of slipping backwards.

……

Fang Yuan agrees with Sakamoto Shinichi, and he also likes these configurations.

The leather seats look high-end, but in fact they are cold in winter and hot in summer, especially when parked in a place without sunshade in summer, the leather seats will become hot in the sun, and the owner will grin his teeth and suck back when he sits down. Take a breath.

After driving for a long time, even with the air conditioner turned on, the cold wind is blowing on the face and chest. It is inevitable that the bottom of the buttocks and the back are covered with sweat, sticky, smelly and uncomfortable, and the white shirt is stained.

In addition, the modification of the seat ventilation is more difficult than the modification of the seat heating. Even for ordinary models, it costs several thousand yuan, which is not a small fee, and it is not safe. Bring it from the factory.

To Fang Yuan's regret, the original manufacturer's guide price of the imported 04 Mazda 8 was 33.9 yuan, not to mention the seats were ventilated, and they didn't even have seat heating.

The domestically produced 2015 model has three versions. The one in front of you is the 2.5-liter mid-range version, and the 2.5-liter top version called the Navigator version. The guide prices are 24.98 and 25.98, both of which only have seats. Heated, no seat ventilation.

Even if there was a discount of about 16 at the end of 6, this Zhizunbao naked car was almost 20, plus taxes and fees in the early 20.

For a car in the early 20s, there is no seat ventilation, only a central control screen with squinting eyes. With such a low configuration, Fang Yuan felt really speechless.

The 2015 Odyssey was equipped with a 2.4L 7-seater premium version. Its configuration is also not bad, but it is also higher than this Mazda 8. It has more tire pressure monitoring, parallel assist, reversing camera, and engine Start and stop, uphill assistance, automatic parking, central control screen, front fog lights, etc.

But thinking of the 2015 2.4L 7-seat premium edition Odyssey with the second top configuration, the guide price was 28.68, and the landed price was almost 32. Shinichi and Sakamoto think that the Mazda 8 is very fragrant, and it is quite cost-effective.

After all, this is a bad era.

After looking at the front, Fang Yuan turned to the back door.

Fang Yuan knows that American GL8, Grand Caravan and other MPVs have side sliding doors that are usually heavy and require manual opening and closing, so they are generally electric, at least one side is electric.

However, if the motor is broken, it is more expensive to repair, and it will cost tens of thousands of dollars at a time.

The doors of Japanese MPVs are usually very light. Even if there is no electric side sliding door, it will not be difficult to close the door. Therefore, the old Japanese models usually do not install electric side sliding doors. One is to reduce the price and enhance product competitiveness. The second is to reduce maintenance costs. There is no such configuration, and even a wool repair, a slide rail can be worth a few dollars, but it cannot meet the needs of customers for comfort.

Mazda 8 even has electric side sliding doors on both sides, and there are 5 switch methods: remote control key, electric switch for the main driver, electric switch on the B-pillar, outer door handle, inner door handle, very suitable for the elderly and car owners , Mazda has done very conscientiously on this point.

The electric side sliding door opens slowly, and the two middle seats appear in front of you.

这辆7座的马自达8座椅布局和15款奥德赛一样，采用了223的形式，方远觉得比232要好。

Because for families who buy 7-seater SUVs and 7-seater MPVs, most of the third row does not take people very much, it is purely for temporary emergency or to store things.

For the two middle seats, at least when four people are seated, the space for the rear passengers will be large, and the seats can be made larger and wider, making it easier to enter and exit the third row.

这辆马自达8的车身长、宽、高和轴距分别为4860毫米、1852毫米、1685毫米和2950毫米。

而15款奥德赛的车身长、宽、高和轴距分别为4830毫米、1805毫米、1695毫米和2900毫米。

The size of the two is actually similar, smaller than GL8, the seat size is similar, and the space is also similar.

If you want to enter the third row at the back, the armrest between the two middle seats of the Mazda 8 can be folded down to allow the third row of passengers to pass through, and the right seat can also be moved to the left to facilitate the third row. Passengers get on and off the car, and the second row can seat three people in an emergency, with a two-point seat belt in the middle.

Fang Yuan sat behind the driver, shook his body a few times, and felt that although there was no wrapping, the padding was moderately soft and hard, and the comfort was not bad.

In front of Shinichi Sakamoto, Fang Yuan turned around and took off the headrest of the seat, and easily folded it down to form a double bed in the third row, which was quite comfortable to lie on.

Seeing Fang Yuan having fun, Shinichi Sakamoto was a little puzzled, grabbed the upper beam with both hands and asked, "Boss, are you so familiar with this car? Have you ever driven it before?"

"I haven't driven it before." Fang Yuan sat up straight, "We are used car dealers, we have seen a lot of cars and driven a lot of cars, so of course we know more."

"It makes sense." Sakamoto nodded, thinking that it was indeed the case. The salesmen in those 4S stores only sold a single brand, and they were quite proficient in this brand.

But in terms of being well-informed, I still sell second-hand cars and do auto repair.

The two were talking, when Su Bei, Zhang Chen, Zhao Daming and Song Guoyuan came over.

As soon as Zhao Daming saw Fang Yuan sitting in the car, he smiled and said to him: "The owner of this Mazda 8 came here to do maintenance. He walked around my place and took a fancy to a Mercedes-Benz GLS, but he insisted on it. Sell ​​this car to our car dealership, otherwise you don’t want Mercedes-Benz..."

"Brother Zhao, have you accepted it?" Zhang Chen didn't even know that Mazda still had an MPV. He looked at the interior and asked Zhao Daming the result.

"Of course I can't accept it. Let's not say that this model is too niche." Zhao Daming pointed to the driver's side, "Look, the owner spent more than 27 yuan to drive home. This configuration is not even a decent one. There is no central control screen."

The slender screen at the top of the central control area is like squinting eyes, and Zhao Daming's disgusted face made everyone laugh at once.

"And the workmanship and materials." Zhao Daming knocked on the interior panels, "The gap is so big, can there be no abnormal noise?"

Zhao Daming acted like a cynical youth, with the attitude of killing him, Fang Yuan smiled at him: "Brother Zhao is right, the car is too small, the configuration is low, there are many abnormal noises, and the sound insulation is poor, hey By the way, how much does the original owner want to sell it for?"

After being affirmed by Fang Yuan for his actions, Zhao Daming was so happy. It was like eating ginseng fruit. The [-] pores in his body expanded outwards and he felt very comfortable. He immediately replied: "I didn't intend to take it, so I didn't ask."

"Brother Zhao, let me tell you one thing." Fang Yuan just heard Zhao Daming say that the original car owner spent more than 27 yuan on the car, and suddenly remembered something.

"Tell me." Zhao Daming immediately listened carefully to what Fang Yuan had to say.

"When picking up a car, don't just listen to the owner's price for a luxury car like a Porsche, but look at the configuration list and see what configuration the original owner has installed. I've told you and Brother Wang about this." Fang Yuan Sit up straight, and said solemnly, "There is another category, that is, some models have been discontinued or unsalable, and they have started to do large-scale promotions, and the real selling price at the beginning must be clarified."

Fang Yuan was afraid that Zhao Daming would not understand, so he gave him the Cadillac ATS-L as an example.

When Cadillac ATS-L is on sale normally, there are some discounts, but the discount rate is average.

Later, the production was discontinued. In order to clear the inventory, Cadillac ATS-L stepped up its promotion efforts. It is said that more than 20 and 17 cars were picked up for the original model of more than 18.

Zhao Daming nodded: "I've heard of this before. There is a jingle that says: [-]% off leopards, [-]% off tigers, [-]% off Cadillac."

"It's not such an exaggeration." Fang Yuan's thoughts were suddenly taken astray by Zhao Daming, and he almost turned into the gutter, "Same brand, same model, same configuration, different license date, bought when production was discontinued, same as before Yes, the price of the car varies by tens of thousands.

When selling a car, those cars bought when the car was broken, of course, this part of the discounted money should be deducted, and it should be calculated from the actual price of the car.

At the same time, it also led to the accelerated depreciation of the Cadillac ATS-L that was previously purchased normally. This is also a new car that some Cadillac ATS-L hates to hear that someone bought it for 17.

In fact, these car owners don't need to think too much, as long as the car is still driving, the knife of depreciation rate will not be cut on their own heads. "

Fang Yuan patted the back of the front seat: "This Mazda 8 is the same. At the end of 16, Mazda had a very big discount. The price of the same car before and after this time period can vary by [-] to [-]..."

"There's so much difference?" Zhao Daming really didn't know about the situation, and said helplessly, "I don't know what kind of discounts are available for which models?"

"Usually read more, write more, and collect more information." Fang Yuan instructed Zhao Daming, and also read the car owner's car purchase invoice.

Car purchase invoices are actually inaccurate and can only be used as a rough reference, because whether it is a new car or a second-hand car, there will be cases where the invoice is lowered, that is, the car price is deliberately lowered to pay less tax.

"Is it written higher?" Zhang Chen suddenly had a bold idea.

"Probably, I haven't seen it anyway. What I see is lowered." Fang Yuan knows that the price is lowered to reduce taxes, so what is the higher price?Unless it is intentional to deceive people.

Of course, Fang Yuan thought that since he hadn't seen it, it didn't mean that there was no such a situation. The world is full of wonders, and maybe such a thing happened.

"The invoice is low..." Zhao Daming pondered for a while, then smiled, "We are a car dealer, we are engaged in second-hand cars, not in criminal investigation, and we are not in charge of cracking down on counterfeiting. The price on the invoice."

But Zhao Daming has another doubt, what if the owner of the car seller loses the invoice?
After all, in some cases, the original car purchase invoice is not required for the transfer of ownership.

"If you lose it, you lose it." Fang Yuan thought it was very simple, "Then start estimating based on the lowest price you know."

"Hei, brother, you are too dark." Zhang Chen looked at Fang Yuan in a funny way, as if he was a profiteer.

"I'm not cheating, and I'm not a profiteer. Since I issued low invoices to avoid taxes, I have to bear the consequences." Fang Yuan said, "There are many routines when collecting cars, and this is all experience."

"According to what you said, when we buy a second-hand car, for some models with strong discounts, do we have to check the discount situation at home at that time before going to the second-hand car market?" Zhang Chen suddenly thought, Check how big the car discount is, so as not to be fooled by the car dealer.

"Your reverse thinking is very strong." Although Fang Yuan teased Zhang Chen, but thinking about it, his thinking is really right. There is a need for some models with great discounts that you want to buy. Take this 2015 2.5 L Supreme Edition, regardless of whether it is a car bought at the end of 2016. Although the car is more than four years old, the discount at the end of the year must be removed, otherwise the car dealer or seller will deliberately deceive themselves.

"Mr. Fang, I think this Mazda 8 is the one we want." Shinichi Sakamoto said seriously to Fang Yuan.

"Okay." Fang Yuan got off the car and arranged for Zhao Daming, "Brother Zhao, wait until the owner of the Mazda 8 comes to pick up the car. You can talk to him again. Let's explain the actual situation to him. If both parties are suitable, we can replace it for him." .”

"You mean Mr. Sakamoto wants this Mazda 8?" Zhao Daming is not stupid. Although he can't understand Japanese, he guessed what Sakamoto Shinichi told Fang Yuan, "This car not only has an ugly interior, but also has a lot of noise and sound insulation. Poor, loud noise, low configuration, weak power, high fuel consumption, except that the price is cheaper than the Odyssey, there is no advantage, there are so many models on my side, can't I just change the car?"
