What is the difference between a 4S store and an auto trading company?
1 Answers
The differences between an auto trading company and a 4S store are as follows: 1. A 4S store is an authorized dealer of a brand: A 4S store is a sales outlet that integrates car sales, maintenance, parts, and information services. It can only sell cars of a single brand specially authorized by the manufacturer, and the manufacturer also requires unified design for both the interior and exterior of the store. This is why 4S stores have relatively uniform designs and a comfortable environment. 2. Auto trading companies lack manufacturer certification: Auto trading companies are not controlled by manufacturers and do not own vehicles themselves. They source cars from wherever they are cheapest across the country, so auto trading companies have a wide variety of vehicle sources. 3. Auto trading companies offer lower prices, but the quality of the cars cannot be guaranteed: The prices offered by auto trading companies are cheaper than those of 4S stores because they source cars from the cheapest locations nationwide. Due to factors such as market competition, business policies, and regional differences, vehicle prices vary among different regional 4S stores, allowing auto trading companies to purchase cars from cheaper areas. However, this also results in uncertainty regarding the source and quality of the cars, with some auto trading companies even selling inventory cars or problematic vehicles.
