The reasons for the abundance of nearly new cars in the used car market are as follows: 1. High demand: The increasing number of products in a market proves that there is demand for these products, and demand determines supply. In this case, the rise in nearly new cars is due to the growing demand for them. 2. Impulsive purchases by owners: Some car owners may feel very fond of a car after seeing it and choose it based on their feelings. However, after using it for a while, they realize that the car does not meet their needs. 3. Owners needing funds: When financially comfortable, some owners purchase their favorite car models, but they rarely drive them, so the cars remain in nearly new condition.

I guess the reason why there are so many nearly new cars in the used car market is probably because many people are under financial pressure nowadays. They buy new cars but soon face income issues or job changes, forcing them to sell for cash. For example, several friends I know sold their cars after just a few thousand kilometers because they lost their jobs or had heavy loan burdens. Another reason is that some leasing companies release cars after their leases expire—these vehicles are well-maintained and almost like new. Market trends also play a role; some wealthy people love chasing trends, buying top-tier cars and selling them after just six months when they get bored and want a new model. Overall, economic downturns and changing consumption habits have led to an increase in these nearly new cars, making them regulars in the used car market.

What is the ground clearance of the Volkswagen Variant?

The ground clearance of the Volkswagen Variant is approximately 170mm. The minimum ground clearance of a vehicle refers to the shortest distance between the vehicle's chassis and the ground when the vehicle is under maximum load, provided that the vehicle is on a level surface. The minimum ground clearance is related to the vehicle's off-road capability. Initially, there were regulations specifying the minimum ground clearance for vehicles. With the continuous development of automotive production technology, some high-end vehicles are equipped with air suspension, which can adjust the height of the vehicle's chassis according to the actual driving conditions. As a result, the regulations on minimum ground clearance have been abolished. The dimensions of the Volkswagen Variant are 4767mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1501mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2791mm.

Is a Water-Damaged Car Not Worth Keeping?

Whether to abandon the car depends on the specific situation, and you can consult a 4S store. The following are the problems that may occur with a water-damaged car: 1. Difficult to clean: There are many channels in a car, and it is very difficult to clean them after water ingress, which will lead to rust over time, such as the inner side of the door panel, air conditioning ducts, and some structural cavities. Additionally, areas like the crankcase and differential also have exhaust holes. 2. Upholstery may mold: Soft furnishings in the car, if soaked in sewage, can leave stains that are hard to clean, and if sewage remains, they will continue to mold. 3. Wheel bearings may deteriorate: The lubricating grease in the car's four-wheel bearings and half-shafts, if soaked in water, can quickly deform and deteriorate.
