What does the delivery price mean?

[AidenLee]

The delivery price refers to the on-road price of the vehicle, which is the final transaction price. It specifically includes the following costs: 1. Ex-factory price: The price of the car without any additional fees. 2. Purchase tax: Vehicle purchase tax is a tax levied on units and individuals who purchase specified vehicles within the country. Currently, the vehicle purchase tax rate is 10%. 3. Insurance: This refers to motor vehicle insurance. 4. Vehicle and vessel tax: Vehicle and vessel tax is a behavioral tax levied on vehicles driving on public roads and vessels sailing in domestic rivers, lakes, or territorial ports, calculated based on their type, tonnage, and prescribed tax amount. 5. License plate fee: After completing the insurance and tax procedures for a new car, you can take these documents to the vehicle management office to register the vehicle, i.e., obtain the license plate. 6. Decoration fee: For some owners who purchase luxury cars or sports cars, in pursuit of personalization, they may need to customize the vehicle when buying it, which will ultimately affect the on-road price of the vehicle.

The pickup price is the total amount you actually pay when picking up the car at the 4S store, including the ex-factory price, purchase tax, insurance fee, license plate fee, service fee, and all other miscellaneous expenses. I’ve noticed that many friends only focus on the ex-factory price when buying a car and overlook other costs, ending up paying more at pickup and straining their budget. It’s advisable to ask the salesperson to provide a detailed breakdown during contract negotiations. For example, the purchase tax usually accounts for about 10% of the car’s price, insurance fees vary by model and region, and license plate fees are around a couple hundred yuan. By planning ahead, you can avoid hidden markups or service fee traps. Remember, the pickup price is the true cost—comparing multiple stores before buying can save you a lot. Last time I bought a car, this trick helped me save thousands—it was really worth it. Don’t just focus on the discounted ex-factory price when choosing a car.

The delivery price refers to the total amount you need to pay when officially picking up the car, which includes the base price of the vehicle, various taxes, insurance, and even minor fees like license plate costs. When buying a car, I've gone through the delivery process several times, and different dealers may add service fees or packaging fees, which can add up to a difference of thousands of dollars. It's advisable to ask the salesperson why these fees exist; with clear comparisons, you'll have more room for negotiation. Don’t just focus on the online listed price—visiting the dealership for a test drive and understanding the total cost is more reliable. During regular promotional periods, such as year-end sales, the delivery price might be more favorable because dealers aim to boost sales. Booking early can also help you avoid price hikes during peak seasons.

The pickup price is the final total amount you pay at the dealership when driving away with your new car, including all necessary expenses such as the base car price, taxes, insurance, etc. I understand that some people think they only need to pay the car price, only to be shocked by additional charges on the bill when picking up the car. Confirm the cost breakdown with the salesperson in advance to ensure no hidden fees. Taxes and insurance vary slightly by location, being slightly higher in cities and lower in rural areas.

The delivery price is essentially the total amount paid on the day of vehicle pickup, which combines the car price, taxes, insurance, and miscellaneous fees like license plate charges. I often remind friends not to focus solely on the base price when buying a car, as overlooking taxes or insurance costs during total cost calculations can easily exceed the budget. It's advisable to list out estimated items, such as taxes typically ranging from 10% to 15%, and insurance costs varying by vehicle model. Comparing prices across different 4S dealerships and negotiating to reduce negotiable service fees is recommended. Last time I bought a car, I calculated everything in advance to avoid last-minute hassles during pickup and to apply for a reasonable loan amount, making budget control much easier.
