What is the difference between buying a car from a car dealership and a 4S store?
1 Answers
The differences between buying a car from a car dealership and a 4S store: 1. Different car sources: Car dealerships have multiple sourcing channels for vehicles, while 4S stores are usually directly authorized by manufacturers, with cars supplied directly from the factory, ensuring higher quality. However, car dealerships offer a wider variety of car models, typically sourced from comprehensive brand merchants or secondary dealers retailing from 4S stores, providing better options when purchasing a car. 2. Different after-sales services: Cars bought from 4S stores come with more reliable after-sales service. Even after the warranty period expires, the manufacturer will still honor the service. However, this may not be the case for cars purchased from secondary dealers or car factories, making 4S stores superior in after-sales service. If a car bought from a dealership is privately modified or repaired, it may affect the after-sales service even during the warranty period. 3. Higher prices at 4S stores: Many consumers are aware that the more professional the service, the higher the price tends to be, but it comes with certain quality guarantees. Additionally, the time to pick up a car is shorter when buying from a 4S store.
