Where to Buy a Car?
1 Answers
Cars can be purchased from the following places: 1. 4S Stores: Generally, 4S stores must be authorized by the car brand and must have a certain level of strength and scale, as well as a complete maintenance process, to obtain authorization for listing. Their customers are generally divided into "showroom customers," who are those who directly enter the store to purchase a car and are served by sales representatives, and "channel customers," which are county-level and township-level auto trade companies authorized for distribution, handled by channel managers or key account managers. The difference between the two is similar to "retail" and "wholesale," with channel customers usually getting slightly lower prices. 2. Auto Trade Companies: Buying from auto trade companies is usually because the customer is located in a county or township without a 4S store for the desired vehicle or due to recommendations from friends or relatives. For auto trade companies, there is relatively more "freedom." They only need to apply for authorization for one or several brands, pay a deposit to the 4S store to request display cars for those brands, and can then start selling multiple brands of vehicles. Additionally, because they are not restricted by certain brand manufacturers, the vehicles they offer are sourced nationwide, often with larger discounts. Car purchase promotions are also endless, but no matter the promotion, their ultimate goal is to calculate the total profit remaining from the sale of each car.
