Generally speaking, models with higher ownership and popularity tend to perform better in the second-hand car market. So, how is the second-hand market for the popular new energy vehicle, the Xiaomi SU7? According to CNMO, a car blogger discovered that a high-end version of the Xiaomi SU7 with nearly 5.000 kilometers on it would sell for a loss of 19.900 yuan in the current second-hand car market. What do you think of this retention rate?
A Xiaomi SU7 owner (also a car blogger) posted a video explaining the market situation of the Xiaomi SU7 in the rental and second-hand car markets to netizens.
First, the rental market. After calling a friend, the owner learned that the rental price of a Xiaomi SU7 is around 3.000 yuan. Due to the relative rarity of the low-end version compared to the Max version, its rental price can go above 3.000 yuan. The owner then asked, "How many days can it be rented out in a month?" The answer was "four or five days."
Next, the owner personally drove the Xiaomi SU7 to the second-hand car market to investigate. The on-site staff evaluated the SU7 Max and mentioned that scratches on the car's paint would affect the price. The owner said the car's mileage is currently 4.960 kilometers, and previous inquiries in Hefei indicated that it could be bought back at the original price. The staff responded, "That was the situation a few days ago, but now it has changed."
According to the staff, the second-hand car market is currently not in good circulation. Even brands like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and Porsche are not selling well because "the competition with new cars is too fierce." They also mentioned, "In all my years in the industry, this is the toughest year." Additionally, CNMO learned that the Xiaomi SU7 in Dawn Purple is the best-selling color at the moment.
At the end of the video, the staff provided a quote for the Meteor Blue Xiaomi SU7 Max. It was mentioned that if consigned, the owner's take-home price would be 280.000 yuan, resulting in a loss of 19.900 yuan. For an electric vehicle with nearly 5.000 kilometers on it and only a month since purchase, what do you think of this retention rate?
