The far-water of the second-hand car exports can’t solve the thirst of the dealers.
Domestic used cars are going global.
In the three months since the policy of exporting used cars, more than a dozen companies in 10 pilot areas have broken ice and exported vehicles to weak industrial countries such as Cambodia and Nigeria.
This is a very ideal model: the new car environmental standard is introduced, the old car accelerates iteration, the old car dealers who can’t sell the old car can’t sell it, the business is not good, and the old car is started. Exported to weak industrial countries, the distributors in the social environment in the car receiving party, the best of both worlds.
But the reality is very cruel. There are still many things to consider. For example, the price advantage of domestic used car products is not enough, how to control the cost problem, how to lay out the after-sales industrial chain at the same time, and there are dozens of responses. The national team of used car export experience.
The ability of used car dealers is obviously limited:The seemingly active leader is actually very cautious, and small and medium players are not qualified to wait and see.
It’s hard to say that the used car export business, which has just lost its money, will not be lost after a rush.
The wind of the exit blows up
The second quarter of this year can be described as the “falling autumn” of the auto market: was originally the off-season of sales, and it also hit the strong promotion of the national six, and new car dealers have opened the inventory mode.
The new car inventory is not only digested in the region, but also in areas that have not been touched by the new policy. “Beijing’s (new car) dealers are seeing new standards coming, paying close attention to clearing stocks to ease the pressure on funds, or handing them over to the 234-line dealers. The policy must be from the first-tier cities to the 234-line cities”, a Beijing The area’s used car dealer said.
There is now a clear inventory in some areas, the new car dealers have been better off, but they have unwittingly copied the bottom of the used car – the new car price cuts on the one hand overdraft the demand for car purchase, another In terms of second-hand deposits, there is no uniform standard for car conditions. The biggest purchase attraction has always been the price. Therefore, the most feared second-hand car sales are the price reduction of new cars.
So, second-hand cars are not sold well in areas where new cars are being cut, can they be transferred to better-selling areas like new cars? The answer is no. As early as 2018, some areas were relegated to second-hand vehicles, but due to tax differences, environmental requirements, local economy, etc.The implementation of regional restrictions and restrictions is not synchronized.
A second-hand car dealer in Shenzhen told us that they used to collect cars all over the country. Now, after the implementation of the National Sixth Standard, cars in other regions cannot be selected. Only local models in Shenzhen can be collected. With fewer choices, we have less room to choose from, and the cost of collecting the car is much higher.”
“After a time, a car lost 100,000 yuan to lose the floor, now it has been Buddhist, we have learned to sing cool to the peers,” another second-hand car dealer in Beijing said.
Anxious second-hand car dealers are waiting for thirst.
The data shows that in the first half of 2019, the sales volume of new cars was 12.323 million. The cumulative transaction volume of used cars in China increased by 4% year-on-year to 6.862 million, but the ratio of new cars to used cars is still 1:0.55. The performance of the data in the US market is 1:3.
According to the data for the whole year of 2018, the domestic second-hand car trading volume accounted for only 5.8% of the car ownership, while the United States was stable at 14%. These two data show that the current domestic used car trading market is not mature enough and is in the stock market.
Macroscopically, with the update of emission standards, the elimination rate of used cars is speeding up. Even if they are not eliminated, the hedge ratio will be lower. In the future, the handling of a large number of vehicles will become a problem. Compared with spending a large sum of money to subsidize scrapping, the export is a better solution – accounting for half of the domestic used cars, the four-car model with ten years of age, and the less developed regions overseas. It is often a toon.
In this way, with the help of the new car policy, the wind of used car exports has blown up.
Big companies break ice, small companies still dare to wait and see
In April this year, the three departments jointly issued the “Notice on Supporting the Export of Used Cars in Conditionally Mature Areas” to clarify the relevant requirements and tasks for the export of used cars. At present, there are already pilots of used car exports in 10 provinces and cities such as Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Zhejiang (Taizhou), Shandong (Jining), Guangdong, Sichuan (Chengdu), Shaanxi (Xi’an), Qingdao and Xiamen. .
After three months of brewing, until July, the first used car export business was created. The first single was grabbed by the used car e-commerce company, which is now the “national purchase”. On July 8th, Youxin CEO Dai Wei also personally arrived at the scene and watched the first batch of used cars boarding the “Changan” of the Central European train to Poland.
Subsequently, the used car export business has broken ice in various pilot areas. After the first order
