Car selection process

Coordinates Beijing
In fact, I had the impulse to change cars two years ago, but there was some pressure to live in Beijing. I advocated freedom, and I didn’t want to bear the pressure of repaying the loan, so I procrastinated again and again.

As the first to grow old, the post-90s generation will be thirty in a year or two, and the car purchase plan is still on the agenda.

I may be different from most BMW owners because I like to drive to every distance and think that only self-driving is the best scenery. I only considered Land Rover Discovery 5 and Volvo XC90 in the early stage of car purchase. One is a hard-line SUV, and his wife likes Land Rover, although there are many ailments in the overall evaluation. The other is simple Nordic style, low-key but elegant. Both cars have been tested in 4s stores, and I prefer Volvo in terms of interior workmanship, color matching and power. The 2.0T high-power engine is indeed more powerful than the 3.0 self-priming Land Rover. However, Land Rover’s brand added value still beat Volvo

At the beginning of December, I took my wife to the Land Rover 4s store, and the gray car, which my wife liked, paid a deposit to sign the contract. As soon as I got home, I thought that there was a lot of pressure on the down payment and repayment of the loan, with a down payment of more than 30 and a monthly payment of more than 10,000. I muttered in my heart that I really didn’t want to compress the quality of life after marriage. Fortunately, because it was too late that day, the deposit was not paid to the public account, so there was room for refund of the deposit.

The next car selection has become particularly simple. Although Audi is much younger in the next generation, he always feels the shadow of the official car and does not like pass. Beijing Mercedes heard that emmm… People who don’t know about cars actually look like C and E, and they have a strong sense of business. We’ll think about it in two years. There is no struggle to choose blue sky and white clouds.

It is said that power can be used but not without. I test-drove a BMW 530 in the urban area, and opened a new X3 mentioned by a friend on the same day, which may be the reason for the four-wheel drive. I don’t feel as easy as X3, and my power feeling is not as good as X3. I just exercise 525m.

Why the 525Li M movement?

With regard to low-power and high-power, I have read the forum comments that the city’s low-power version is sufficient, and there is no significant gap.
Headlights, angel headlamps are sparkling, self-adaptive near and far light personal demand is small, perennial near light civilization driving.
Tire wheels, like the shape of 18-inch wheels.
Leather seats, although like volcanic red inside, but not a long-term color, mocha bar, leather is not leather can accept.
The rest of the panoramic skylight, background electric down balabala, for me is not a rigid demand, 525 is enough.

Why not buy X3? It may be that Chinese people give more value to SUV, which leads to a rise in SUV, whether it is subjective cognition or the impression that the 5 series is still a higher level, especially in the back row space, X3 is very cramped, other aspects will not be extended.
Why not buy 525 luxury? It’s true that many people choose luxury because they don’t like the black ass behind the M sport, but I don’t think the black ass is ugly from the beginning. On the contrary, luxury has less change than the previous generation of BMW 5, and it seems too calm for me.

Write to Citroen Sega

Although the car is external property, but with the driving time getting longer and longer, as if with their own car have more feelings, give the car feelings. The Citroen Sega in 2009 has been open for ten years this year. Although it is a long time, the mileage is only 100,000 kilometers.

I like cars, prefer self-driving, this car takes me through a lot of places, have seen a lot of scenery, I always think of her as an SUV, she is always as solid as a hard SUV, give me sense of security. The most bumpy provincial highway we walked together, 303, went to Alshan from early morning to night. The dirt road, the pit road and the stone-brick road were rough but not dangerous, and the car condition was no different.

These two months are always looking forward to lottery lottery, so that there is no need to free up indicators to sell her, the day is always against one’s wishes, and it is time to say goodbye.
Do not look for too many ways to sell cars, directly BMW 4s point to vacate the target to sell used cars, but asked different BMW 4s stores used car prices, the price is about the same, more than 10,000, bite the teeth and stamp the foot to sell it.

303 Provincial Highway

There is a normal asphalt road in front of 303 provincial highway.

It was dark and uninhabited early in the morning and at night. On the road, I met two cars, a white Camry, driving very slowly, and one was pulled by bj40.

The process of car purchase and license plate

In mid-December, I visited several BMW 4s stores relatively close to home at the weekend, made inquiries and made a comparison. Book a car, this 4s store has three existing cars, white 525m sports, mocha interior, optional heating seats, and the right to choose a more auspicious number for the frame.

I wanted to pick up the car as soon as possible, but I was moved by the words of the sales consultant. There will be a certain price difference in the subsequent depreciation, that is, the buying and selling price of second-hand cars, in 2020 than in 2019. Anyway, I didn’t care about the half-month, so the pick-up time was arranged for early January.

In late December, I went to the 4s store to apply for a loan. I saw my big white for the first time, lying quietly in the basement. Do not let in on the outside to see a circle, there is no problem, I do not understand, the production line should be more or less the same, always believe in my luck.

2020. On the first weekend in early January, the pick-up day arrived as promised. The 4s store simply washed the car and found a gas station to refuel. I originally wanted to fill it up, but I didn’t want to change it. I simply added 500 yuan, and the fuel tank was almost full.

The cars we mentioned at the end of 2019 all wanted to be licensed again at 2020 in the coming year, and a group of people who were licensed in January were piled up, and more people picked up the cars a year ago than usual. As a result, the licensing time was delayed, just two 7-day temporary licenses were used, and when the car was inspected and asked for leave in advance, he followed the BMW staff to pay taxes first, and then went to the DMV office. No money was spent. After driving the car to the DMV, I originally wanted to shake Beijing A. Because at the end of 2019, my friend shook more than one Jing An in the same car inspection yard, but after seeing the number taken by others on the spot several times, none of Jing A showed up. Forget it, keep the original license plate number, and it took a whole day to get all kinds of certificates, which can be regarded as a complete success.

After picking up the car, there were three snowfalls in Beijing in winter

After picking up the car, it fell three times in Beijing one after another. This was the snowfall that rarely occurred in Beijing in previous years. The snow covered the car, which could be considered a year of good snow.

driving experience
– At present, we have driven 3000 kilometers, and the fuel consumption has gradually dropped from about 8 cars to more than 7 cars.
– There is no significant difference between 525 and 530 people with power below 100 kilometers.

I won’t talk about the good quality of the car. There are two points that the experience is not very good:
1. Traffic jams are often encountered in Beijing’s Urban area. When driving for 20 to 30 kilometers, the experience of up-and-down gears is very bad, just like a car always proactively telling its feet whether to be heavy or light.
2. When driving at a speed of 40 to 50 kilometers per hour or up, step on the accelerator, and then when encountering a situation and preparing to brake, the car loosening the accelerator is like sliding at idle speed, without any active, light or heavy deceleration access, resulting in a poor braking experience.
