Why Are Domestic Cars Cheaper Than Joint Venture Cars?

There are many reasons why domestic cars are cheaper than joint venture cars. The following is a detailed introduction to the reasons: 1. Differences in the three major components: The three major components of a car consist of the transmission, chassis, and engine. Domestic cars started developing these components relatively late, so there is inevitably a significant gap in quality compared to joint venture cars. As a result, domestic cars can only compete on price to attract consumers. If domestic cars were priced similarly to joint venture cars, their sales would undoubtedly suffer. 2. Brand effect: Many consumers do not prioritize car performance when purchasing a vehicle but rather focus on the influence of the car brand. The brand influence of joint venture cars is significantly higher than that of domestic cars, and joint venture cars also invest much more in advertising. Joint venture cars indirectly pass on the cost of advertising to the price of the cars we buy. Excessive advertising also leaves a deeper impression in our minds, leading us to prefer joint venture cars when making a purchase, under the assumption that joint venture cars are inherently better.

Can I Claim Depreciation Costs for a Rear-End Collision?

Compensation for car accidents generally does not include depreciation costs. Below is a detailed explanation regarding rear-end collisions: 1.

This falls under the property loss compensation of compulsory traffic insurance. If both parties cannot reach an agreement on compensation, you can directly sue the other party and their insurance company. 2. Compensation the Other Party Should Provide: In the event of a rear-end collision where the other party is fully at fault, besides claiming repair costs, you can also request compensation for vehicle depreciation and loss of income. For these additional affected expenses, you can demand compensation from the other party.
