AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/05 Report--

In the Chinese market, Toyota is one of the brands with the highest value preservation rate. Toyota used cars not only maintain their value, but also may increase in value. The old Toyota crown is such a special case. It has a good market reputation and is also a sentimental car. The market value is often unexpected. Some netizens have revealed that the 12th-generation Toyota Crown 3.0, which has been driving for 12 years, sold for 300000.

For those who really like the Toyota crown, they will think that "there is no crown after 12 generations", which is probably the reason why the crown, which has been open for more than a decade, can still sell at a high price.

This is the one that was first registered in April 2007. it currently shows a mileage of 7983 kilometers and has sold for more than 300,000 yuan of the Toyota Crown 3.0. According to the auction record, the car is an official car, with a starting price of 35000 yuan and a minimum bid of 500 yuan each time. After several rounds of bidding, the auction ended with 300500 yuan.

Since the license was issued 12 years ago, the apparent mileage is only 7983 kilometers. If there is no artificial meter adjustment, then the car owners usually use less frequency, and the vehicle should be no different from the new car. However, from the perspective of the interior of the real car, it seems that the maintenance condition is not very good.

More than 300,000 people bought a crown that had been on the road for 12 years, and many netizens said they could not understand it. Some said that out-of-print cars were sold at an affectionate price, while others said it was an IQ tax. Is it worth it? Old cars pay attention to feelings, "feelings" this thing is to have a certain emotion or state of mind, it is difficult to measure with money, because they will tell you: a thousand gold is hard to buy a good heart.

Six months ago, a 2011 Toyota Crown V8 4.3L model was auctioned. The guiding price of the new car that year was 800400 yuan, and the full landing price is estimated to go to 900000. The eight-year-old Crown V8 soared from 180000 yuan to 400000 yuan, and was finally sold at a high price of 412000 yuan. Some car dealers say that the value of the crown will not change because of who does not accept it, and the old car needs people who understand him. The classic but scarce old car can be of great market value.

Crown has always been shouldering the status of Toyota's flagship model, now FAW Toyota is selling the 14th generation Crown, the new car guidance price is 25.08-374800 yuan, the model is more in line with the aesthetic of modern consumers, younger, more beautiful, but sales are much less, even FAW Toyota will stop production of the Crown, not even national six models have been launched. Toyota Crown, for example, sold only 138 units in September and 343 in October.

Of course, some netizens said that the 12th generation crown is the "last song", but in any case, now the crown is really gradually withdrawing from the domestic market, because only the sales of the five models have been greatly reduced, the new generation of models have long been on the market in Japan, but they have not been introduced into China for a long time, and the flagship models have been gradually replaced by domestic Yalong. A car that bears witness to China's automobile history is about to be withdrawn from the market and reduced to the point of domestic production, so the old crown may be more affectionate in the eyes of car fans, and perhaps it is also the reason why it can still be sold at a high price.
