Overbearing words
Handsome character
There were two cars at home before, the first one was Kia 09 New Souranto Extreme Edition, and the other one was Mercedes-Benz 20 17 CLA220 4MATIC. I have been driving this new Souranto car. I bought it on 20 10. It's all imported. 2.4 naturally aspirated 174 horsepower. Peter Schreyer, a famous designer, personally designed it. At that time, the price was increased by more than 10,000, almost 320,000. This car has been with me 10 for many years, and its overall performance is still very good. The configuration is very high, and 20 10 years is still very good. It has panoramic sunroof, seat ventilation and heating, timely four-wheel drive, 18 inch wheel hub, cruise control, one-button start, keyless entry, full leather, xenon headlights, automatic headlights and LED taillights.
The roaring front face is still very atmospheric.
Peter Schreyer personally designed the roaring front face.
During the period of 10, only once in the first year, the oil meter ran out of oil and turned off at high speed. Others are not broken, with large space, high chassis and good view. Haikou has experienced several heavy rains and accumulated water, and the quality of the whole vehicle is still very good. The total kilometers are 6.5438+0.4 million, less than 6.5438+0.5 million kilometers a year. Because this car still has a great influence on me, I have the idea that if I want to change cars in the future, I must change SUV models. The second car is a Mercedes-Benz 20 17 CLA220 4MATIC, which is driven by my wife. Coupe type, 2.0T 184 horsepower, very good handling. The main disadvantage is that the car is too small and the chassis is low, which is suitable for women to drive. It can only be driven in urban areas, not in rural areas, and the chassis is often scraped. Every time it rains heavily and accumulates water in Haikou, I dare not open it. But Mercedes-Benz is Mercedes-Benz, and it is worth having, whether it is interior, appearance or brand. So I want to change trains in the future, and I must choose Mercedes-Benz.
In view of the age of the new Souranto car 10, and the CLA car is too small, the chassis is low, there is always water in Haikou, and my wife is scared every time it rains, so I had the idea of changing cars at the end of 19. Coupled with frequent business trips in recent years, there are two cars at home, and my Souranto card is often stuck, which is also a bit wasteful. So we discussed selling both cars and changing to a bigger SUV. Considering the occasional need for business reception, the brand should be selected from BBA, and the Mercedes-Benz brand should be preferred.
Then I started to choose cars. First I went to see BMW's X 1 X3, and then Audi's Q3, Q2 and Q5. Before I went to see Mercedes-Benz, these models were all PASS, mainly because the interior was disdainful. It is estimated that the interior of Mercedes-Benz was too toxic. When the target was determined, we began to choose among Mercedes-Benz models. According to the budget, we chose between GLB and GLC. Then I started to do GLB's homework. At that time, GLB had just been listed, and there was already a lot of criticism on the forum. I'd better know about it first. I went to see GLB first, but I don't have to say anything about the inside. One word: beautiful, two words: beautiful. Then on New Year's Day in 2020, I went for a test drive. This is a GLB200 fashion model, and all the optional items of this car are installed in the 4S shop. Voice of Berlin, head-up display, parallel assistance, lane departure, lane keeping, 360 panorama, adaptive cruise, keyless entry, geometric multi-beam, etc. The car feels good, and the third row will do. The only shortcomings are power and rapid acceleration. At that time, although the discount was 20 thousand, I thought it was still not worth it, so I passed it. It is right to give up. After a week or two, the discount has reached more than 40 thousand. Fortunately, I didn't buy it, otherwise I wouldn't lose money.
On the left is the test drive that day. When I stopped, I deliberately stopped next to 20 GLCs. Compared with the size, it really looks no smaller than GLC.
Then in the end, only GLC's goal remains. On the test drive that day, I went up and felt the interior of the 20 GLC model statically, and I still like it so much. Then there's the budget. Originally, after two used cars were sold, it was estimated that there were about 250,000 (50,000 in New Souranto in 2009,1cla 220 20 in 7 years). The family plans to add up to 65,438+million, and the total budget needs to fall within 350,000. However, it is not enough for 350,000 yuan to buy the lowest power model of 2020 GLC260L (at that time, the sales of 4S stores reduced the price of 2020 GLC260L power model, with a discount of 28,000 yuan and a landing of more than 390,000 yuan, which was also over budget). The turning point has come. It happened that a cousin of my hometown in Fujian was selling used cars. When he heard that I wanted to change cars, he strongly warned me not to buy a new car. When I bought a new car, I lost tens of thousands of dollars as soon as I paid the money. Not worth it. If you buy a used car, you can at least save the purchase tax. Then look at the second-hand GLC. My cousin said to help me find some second-hand GLC cars. But second-hand GLC cars, Hainan local second-hand GLC cars, are very expensive, tens of thousands of yuan higher than the mainland. However, the emissions of second-hand GLC vehicles in Chinese mainland before lengthening are all national 5, and Hainan has required the emissions to meet the national 6 standard in July 2065438+2009, so it is impossible for all second-hand GLC vehicles in Chinese mainland to enter Hainan for licensing. Then you can only watch the 2020 GLC. The emission standard of this car is national 6, which can meet Hainan's licensing requirements. However, there is no second-hand GLC in Hainan in 2020, and there are less than 20 second-hand GLCs in the whole used car house in 2020. Then my cousin began to incite me to say that if I wanted to buy it, I would simply buy 300 instead of 260. After all, the motivation is still much worse. If we add more budget, the effect will be much better. All I can say is, let's take a look first. Immediately after the arrival of the epidemic, all plans were suspended, and you can only browse online at ordinary times. After the Spring Festival, the epidemic is not over yet. Usually, you can only look at second-hand GLC cars between cars. There are only a few second-hand GLCs in Hainan, none of which is a 2020 model, and there is not much change. I also consulted several old GLCs, all of which were rejected. Either the configuration is unsatisfactory or the price is too high. On March 6, 2020, I suddenly saw a 2020 GLC300L dynamic model in the used car house, white, with a price of 408,000, as shown below:
I wonder how this car can be so cheap. The 2020 GLC300L dynamic new car on the forum will basically land at around 470,000. Send the picture to my cousin and call for advice. As a result, it was found that the engine of this car leaked oil, and a claim for replacing parts has been filed. Then forget about this car. Then list all the used cars of the 2020 GLC 300L power model, just four.
Then ask my cousin to call Xi' an's 2020 GLC 300L power model (the last one). The price is 4,654.38+0.3 million, and the mileage is only 654.38+0.8 million kilometers. The other party is also quite realistic, saying that the left fender of this car was hit by an electric car and repainted, but it didn't hurt other places, only this place. The other party also knows that my cousin is in the second-hand car business, and he is sure to find the maintenance record. Then let this car go for a while. On March 9, 2020, I visited the used car house again, and suddenly found a new 2020 GLC 300L power model, located in Zhengzhou, with a price of 465,438+0.3 million, and the price was ok. It's only 4000 kilometers. I was so excited that I quickly told my cousin, who immediately called for advice. It happened that a car seller in Zhengzhou knew and knew this car. Then my cousin checked the insurance and maintenance records through the internal system, but there were no records, which indicated that there was nothing wrong with the car. Then I bargained and only cut 3000 yuan, and the other party said that it could be done at 4 1 000. Then I began to wait for the bus to decompress.
On March 17, the other party sent a message saying that the car had been decompressed and they would pay a deposit if necessary. That night, after consulting with my cousin, he also checked the record information of the car and confirmed that he could buy it, so he put a deposit of 50 thousand yuan into the other party's financial account. I am so excited. At noon on March 18, the SMS suddenly sounded. When I read the news, Cary received a sum of 50,000 yuan. What happened? The deposit was refunded. Is there a problem? If my cousin also calls, he said that the car was sold by another salesperson of the other side at the price of 4 13000 yuan in the afternoon of 17, and the salesperson did not tell us the information in time. Just missed this bus. At the same time, my cousin's colleague in Shandong also has a 2020 GLC 300L power model, which has sold 465,438+0.8 million. My heart is cold. What to do, whether to wait or choose among several other cars. I said, wait and see. Let's talk about Xi 'an's car first. If it is true that only the fender has been painted and other parts have not been touched, then there is no problem. Then my cousin began to communicate, checking insurance records and maintenance records. After the results came out, the maintenance records of the 4S shop showed that the fender had been repaired. Nothing else has been fixed. Then confirm the car, reduce the price, 465,438+00,000 yuan only, pay a deposit of 65,438+00,000 yuan, communicate the delivery details, and then determine the delivery time. There is a very important link in this, that is, my cousin is in the used car business. He knows more about the car and can probably detect whether there is a big problem with the car. This link is very important. Before, the inquiry about insurance and maintenance records was only a link, and now car inspection is also a very important link. After all the dust settled, the time to pick up the car was finally determined as March 22, 2020 to fly to Xi' an to inspect and pick up the car.
On March 22nd, 2020, two other cousins and I flew directly to Xi 'an. My big cousin helped me get up and drive, and my little cousin was in charge of checking the car. His driver's license was revoked in his hometown because of drunk driving, so he can't drive. Because it was still in the epidemic monitoring period, I waited for several hours on the plane before getting off the plane. When I got off the plane, I took a taxi and went straight to the used car market.
At first sight, I saw my favorite target: Mercedes-Benz 2020 GLC 300L dynamic, in one word: handsome.
Check kilometers 1800 kilometers.
After inspection, the car has been covered with film, with complete foot pads and a hidden driving recorder installed.
Then my professional cousin came out to check the car. The most important thing is to check whether the car paint is the original car paint. He has a special tool to measure it. It is true that only the fender on the left is not the original car paint, and everything else is original. I also checked the headlights with repaired paint on the left fender. They are all original headlights. Then put the car on the rack.
Check the chassis for signs of disassembly, and all the rotating screws have no signs of being screwed, which is perfect. The second is to check invoices and sign contracts. The invoice shows that the car price is 432,800, with a discount of 654.38+0.5 million. After signing the contract, because it is Sunday, I can't go through the formalities, so I will go back to the hotel to rest first, and then I will go through the formalities of filing and transfer again and again next week. On the morning of March 23, 2020, I checked out after breakfast and went straight to the used car market. Start to transfer money to the other party, with a total price of 4 1 10,000, and then start to transfer ownership, file, and check the car online.
After that, I waited for the temporary license plate. As a result, I was told that Xi 'an's temporary license plate for used cars would take three days to come out and the documents would take three days. What should I do? I discussed it with my cousin. Because of the epidemic, I don't want to stay in Xi 'an Anduo for two days, so I still drive my car back to my hometown in Fujian and send the license plate to my hometown in Fujian for the record (the license plate must be recovered before I can issue a temporary license plate). After confirmation, we left after lunch at noon.
I finished my meal at noon on March 23, 2020, and set off from Xi 'an on time at about 2: 30 pm. According to the navigation, the total mileage from Xi 'an to Zhangzhou, Fujian is 1740 km, and it needs to pass through Hubei Province along the way, just passing through the middle of Hubei Province. At that time, Hubei province had not lifted the ban, and all high-speed exits in Hubei province were closed, so it was impossible to get out of the high-speed. We were a little scared then, too. We want to sail from Zhengzhou, Henan, but there is still a way from Zhengzhou to Hubei, which is more than 400 kilometers away. Later, I followed the navigation route.
After five hours' drive, I arrived at Wudang Mountain Service Area of Yin Fu Expressway in Hubei Province at seven o'clock in the evening. The service area didn't provide meals, just got off and bought some bread to eat in the car. After eating, I will continue to set out. It's more than three hours' drive, and it will arrive in Jiujiang, Jiangxi at 12: 30 in the evening, with the whole journey 1000 km, and rest in Jiujiang for one night. I admire my big cousin here. He drove all the way to Jiujiang almost 1000 km. Get up in the morning of March 24, 2020, have breakfast and continue to set out. From Jiujiang to Zhangzhou, Fujian, the total mileage is 755 kilometers. It arrived at 5 pm, and the lobby brother drove all the way back, which was awesome. From Xi 'an to Zhangzhou, the journey is almost 1800 km. After refueling twice, the average distance from 800 yuan to 0.5 yuan is less than one kilometer. The whole journey is basically high-speed, and with the drop in oil prices, it is still very fuel-efficient. From March 25th, 2020 to April 20th, 2020 1 day, the mid-level car was parked in my cousin's used car shop because it didn't have a temporary license, and then it was modified. We'll talk about the revised part later.
The car has just taken a shower and is very domineering.
The car has just taken a shower and is very domineering.
April 2020 1, after obtaining the temporary license, the car can leave my cousin's used car shop, and it is planned to leave on April 2 and return to Haikou, Hainan. On April 2, 2020, after breakfast at home, I packed my things and set off at 9: 30. From Zhangzhou, Fujian to Haikou, Hainan, the total mileage is 1200 km. I'm the only one who has driven such a long mileage.
Just in time to catch up with Tomb-Sweeping Day, there was still a lot of traffic on the road, and when we reached the Guangzhou Ring Expressway, traffic jams began. Arrive at Leizhou service area of Shenhai Expressway at 3 o'clock in the evening, rest in the service area until 5: 30 in the morning, and then leave for Hai 'an Xingang. Here, I need to thank this Mercedes-Benz 2020 GLC 300L for its dynamic lane departure warning and lane keeping assistance. It can be said that these two functions saved my life. I was really tired until after 3 pm, but in order to catch up with the time, I kept driving, and I fell asleep while driving. Then I suddenly felt that the car called the police and was dragged back. It turned out that when I was about to fall asleep, the car deviated from the road and directly triggered the lane keeping auxiliary function. It will call the police and brake urgently. At this time, I was completely awake, and I quickly went to the front service area to sleep for half an hour before continuing on my way. Really lucky. Without this function, it is estimated that the car will jump off the highway.
Get on the boat, cross the sea and arrive at Haikou Xingang Wharf at 9: 00. At half past nine, I got home.
At this point, from March 22, 2020 to April 3, 2020, it took 12 days, and my Mercedes-Benz 2020 GLC 300L dynamic model finally arrived at my new home in Haikou.
Wash clean, domineering
Clean and handsome
Temporary cards for used cars are generally valid for only one month, so they should be filed in time within the validity period. My validity period began on March 24, 2020 and ended on April 24, 2020, so I began to arrange to register with the vehicle management office. Hainan began to shake the number from 19, but I have two old cars with license plates, which can be updated directly. I sell used cars and keep license plates. The license plate is valid for one year, so you don't have to participate in the lottery. So I first transferred CLA to my cousin and sold the car to him. Then I found an intermediary to help me transfer the ownership, and I got a temporary license, which was completed around April 10. Full cost 1340 yuan, including expedited filing. Then I took my renewal index card and prepared to put this reserved license plate on this new GLC. In addition, used cars purchased in different places need to be licensed at Lingshan Haikou Vehicle Management Office. You can only go to this place, and you need to make an appointment through WeChat to get an appointment number. So I started to make an appointment on April 14, and found that all the numbers were reserved within a week. At this time, I was a little nervous. My temporary license will expire on April 24, and it will be very troublesome if I can't file it at this time. It is said that it is necessary to drive back to Shaanxi to re-examine the car and re-record it. That won't kill anyone. Now the numbers before 2 1 are gone, only the 22nd and 23rd are left. If the system failure does not occur again, it will not be able to archive. I quickly called the intermediary to explain the situation, and the intermediary said that it was no problem. With 300 yuan, I can go directly to Lingshan to join the queue tomorrow, without making an appointment. With a nervous mood, I arrived at Haikou Lingshan Vehicle Management Office at 9: 00 am on April 15 on time, called the intermediary, and the intermediary came. I took the car information and went through the licensing procedures. After a while, I got it all done. Thankfully, it cost 900 yuan+a pack of Chinese.

I'm getting on the license plate, which is the license plate of my previous Mercedes-Benz 20 17 CLA220 4MATIC. Now Mercedes-Benz CLA220 4MATIC 20 17 has been sold to my cousin and has been filed in Fujian.
poker cards
The card is finished.
The card is finished.
At this point, from March 23rd, 2020 to April 5th, 2020, the dust finally settled. You can start the game.
Modification is essential. Let me briefly introduce my revision process. The total modification involves the following modifications, with a total cost of about 654.38+0 million.
1 360 Panorama is a 360 panoramic view of the special car of the auxiliary factory, not the original factory. 9000 yuan is too expensive. This auxiliary factory is cheap and 3D. After getting on the bus, the video will automatically rotate around the vehicle.
Very clear, with driving recorder, radar early warning trigger, door opening trigger, etc. , it is dedicated to the car. The models inside are all 20 GLC 300L dynamic models, and the license plates can be customized. But you need to drill holes in the rearview mirror, and you can't use the camera behind the original car. Later, I drove to install seat ventilation, and the owner of the decoration shop praised the 360 panorama as better and clearer than the original factory.
2. Turbine air outlet and passenger lighting
The boss recommended installing 360 Panorama, and the owner of another decoration shop praised the quality of this set.
3. Welcome lamp
The former owner installed it, and the brightness is very good. This brightness cannot be found on Taobao.
Step 4 rotate the treble
The effect is very obvious and the sense of ceremony is strong.
5. The subwoofer in the footwell of the main driver's seat has a subwoofer under the main driver's seat. This replacement, the original factory power is too small. This time I changed two, and the co-pilot added one. The power is much higher. The effect is particularly obvious after installation. It is no exaggeration to say that the acoustic effect should be improved by more than 100 times. 6. Although the remote control key of the automatic window closer is related to the window function, it is not automatic and always forgets to turn it off. After this is installed, it will be fully automatic. As soon as the car is locked, all the windows will automatically close. 7, the central control table
It doesn't make much sense. It's just decoration
8, after the exhaust
I feel a little handsome.
9. Front fog lamp decorative strip
I feel a lot domineering.
10, seat ventilation
What I hate most is that this seat is airy. I installed this version from the vice factory, not the original factory. I regret it. I'll change to the original factory when I have time. The main problem is the collapse of the cushion. As soon as I got on the bus and sat in the driver's seat, I collapsed and sat directly on the fan. At this time, if you turn on the fan, the fan blades will scratch the cushion and make a squeaking sound, just like the sound of a chainsaw decorating a house. The noise is so loud that everyone can hear it. It's so annoying, it's downgraded at once. It's too hot in Hainan. This must be installed. My previous 09 new Souranto had this seat ventilation function. I have used 10 for many years and it has been very powerful. After a while, ventilate the original seat.
1 1, Berlin cover and interior protective film I bought the interior protective film online, but unfortunately I didn't put it on, except for the multi-function steering wheel. I didn't put it on myself, and there are still some bubbles. Others will be released at another time.
After that, the total cost is 465,438+0,000+700 (from Xi 'an to Zhangzhou, Fujian) +500 (from Zhangzhou, Fujian to Haikou, Hainan)+authorization fee (900+ a package of Chinese)+450+500 = 465,438+0,350. So it is still about 40,000 to 50,000 cheaper than the new car. The decoration cost is 654.38+0.4 million, even if you buy a new car, you have to buy it and modify it. Finally, one of the unfinished tasks is the opening of Mercedes-Benz ME. At present, the original owner has opened it. This needs to be sold at 4S point, and the vehicle driving license, owner's ID card and other documents need to be changed. In addition, the current mileage of vehicles is more than 5,000 kilometers, and it is planned to make the first insurance to 8,000 kilometers. The previous 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC300L power models were all presented with 2A2B, so the first warranty should be free. Thank you for reading at the end of the play. .....................................................................
