Imported cars want to price some models can buy the bottom

At the time of the general price increase of domestic cars across the board, some imported cars that have not yet risen in price have become the last safe haven. It is understood that due to the large inventory, the current price of some imported cars is still at the bottom, and some models that have digested stocks quickly have started to increase prices.

According to the latest data from China Import & Export Trading Co., Ltd., from January to October this year, the country’s imported car inventory reached more than 80,000 vehicles, but the inventory growth slowed down significantly. This means that manufacturers have begun to reduce imports. After the import of imported vehicles is reduced, the trend of import car price increases will also start.

The auto market has a lot of concessions and many imported cars have become a haven. Unlike domestic cars, sales of imported cars have been relatively stable in recent months. The reporter learned that Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Lexus, and the general public at the dealership have basic cars.

According to data released by China Import & Export Corporation, in the first 10 months of this year, the number of imported cars was 604,000, an increase of 132.7% year-on-year. The number of cards sold was about 520,000, and the difference between them exceeded 80,000. A large amount of inventory keeps the discount rate for imported cars this year high.

The reporter learned from a Lexus distributor that due to the recent challenges, the current ES series are all sold at cost, and the discount rate is larger. The Mercedes-Benz B200 added all-insurance on the basis of a discount of 35,000 yuan. The BMW X1 that had previously increased its price has now returned to the guide price sales.

In terms of importing cheap cars, the import public has promoted cool models throughout the year due to the "Cool Cup", so the supply is relatively abundant. The reporter learned from Beijing Volkswagen Center that Scirocco is currently at the lowest price in the whole year, and the discount rate is more than 20,000 yuan.

Zhang Hongwei, the general manager of the marketing department of the General Office of Citroen, told the reporter that although the price of homemade domestic cars has risen by about 3,000 yuan, the price of imported cars has been relatively stable, and the maximum discount of the Citroen C4 coupe has reached 30,000 yuan.

Reduced inventory of some imported car price increases Although the current market price of imported cars is relatively optimistic, but the reporter learned that some entry-level luxury cars have also been affected by the rush to buy the wind, sales soared. As the inventory gradually digested, the original price of 288,000 yuan BMW 1 Series from the lowest price close to 200,000 yuan, up to the current minimum of 229,000 yuan. The X3, which had a preferential rate of up to 100,000 yuan, has been cleared.

Industry experts said that the import vehicle's purchase cycle should be more than one month, so once the inventory is tight, it will be quickly reflected in the price, and it is more likely to give rise to the phenomenon of increasing prices and selling cars.

The Mercedes-Benz GLK series, which had previously offered up to 30,000 yuan, has been cancelled due to the shortage of new-year models. At present, there are more than 30 orders for GLK models.

In addition, Audi's imported car A3, due to the current car is very small, the preferential range from the highest close to 10,000 yuan, tightened to the current 3,000 yuan -5000 yuan. "Now the supply has tightened significantly. In recent months, the price of cars will only rise and will not fall," said the staff of the Argyle Audi 4S shop.

Wang Cun, manager of China Import & Export Automobile Marketing Department, has seen a significant drop in the recent increase in inventories, indicating that the import volume adjustment of imported vehicles has quietly started, and the prices of imported vehicles have apparently increased.
