A netizen wrote to Xiaorui and asked: What is a second-tier automobile supplier and why are the discounts so big? Xiaorui feels it is necessary to share this little knowledge with everyone: Answer: 4S and 3S are first-level distributors. Those who pick up the goods directly from the manufacturer are first-level. Those who pick up the goods from 4S or 3S are second-level, and those who pick up the goods directly from the manufacturer are second-level. Those who pick up the goods are Level 3. For the time being, I have only heard of Level 3 dealers, but I have never heard of Level 4 dealers such as: 1. For example, Zhangjiagang XXX Automobile City is Level 2, and picks up cars from 4S dealers across the country, such as Shanghai. The car discounts in Zhangjiagang are much larger than those in Zhangjiagang, and many brands have regional restrictions. Individuals in Zhangjiagang cannot buy them from other places. They can get the car from other places and sell it to you, earning the price difference. 2. Another example is Zhangjiagang’s discount of 10,000 , Shanghai has a discount of 30,000, then the second-level dealer says he will give you a discount of 15,000. You will think that the discount is very big, but the remaining 15,000 is his profit. You should be careful when buying a car from a second-level dealer, because you I don’t know where he got the car from. He may have driven it back from Shanghai. That’s okay. Maybe he drove it back from Beijing. When he drove it back, the odometer was unplugged. You didn’t know it was on. How many kilometers, I don’t know how violently he will drive your new car 3. It may also be a stock car 4. The car bought there may have trouble after-sales service. It is said that it can be maintained at the 4S store, but after buying it, I have also encountered troublesome 5. It is also possible that some 4S stores cannot sell cars, and they will entrust the second-tier companies to help sell some. In terms of price, the second-tier shops have more room to fluctuate, and the 4S will not lower the price. So as not to affect normal sales during the peak season. 6. The situation of selling defective cars is basically gone now. Generally speaking, the cars of second-tier suppliers are cheap and have merits, but the guarantees in various aspects will be less, and the same is true for cars. It is a big purchase, so you should be careful when buying. If you have acquaintances and guarantees, choosing a second-level dealer to buy a car and 4S maintenance is also a good way. Xiaorui's full text is hand-written. There is no exclusion of second-level dealers here, just suggestions. Everyone chooses carefully, there are pros and cons
