AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/22 Report--

On the evening of December 21, the Great Wall Tank Brand issued a notice of violations by tank 300 dealers. According to the announcement, users of a Short Video platform recently released a dealer violation report video. In response to this clue, the tank brand attached great importance to it and immediately carried out a comprehensive verification.

It has been verified that the video related "price increase delivery" vehicle was originally the tank 300 off-road version of the conqueror ordered by user H under the tank App on July 10. The vehicle dealer was selected as an automobile trading company in Hebei Province, and the vehicle was ordered and produced normally in early December. On December 15, the dealer used the special policy of the restricted city to upload the change application in the system (after verification, the application materials were forged), changed the subscriber H to Z, and then delivered it to Z after the vehicle arrived at the store, i.e. the invoicing recipient mentioned in the chatter account.

For the content of reporting dealer violations, the relevant treatment is as follows:

1. Dealers use the special policies of restricted cities to upload counterfeit materials and resell vehicles. They have touched the red line of the criteria of "standardizing dealer behavior and safeguarding user interests" of tank brands. On December 21, a notice has been issued to permanently cancel the tank brand operation authorization of the dealership involved. Tank brands will improve the relevant policy settings of restricted cities and strengthen efforts to verify abnormal orders;

2. It is true that the manufacturer described by the chattering user colluded with the dealer to start the train. All vehicles of Tank 300 are produced according to the actual order placed by the user, strictly corresponding to each other, and there is no reported shunting behavior.

Great Wall Tank said that it always adheres to compliance management and requires authorized dealers to the same standards. It will continue to pay attention to and strictly control the behaviors of authorized dealers disrupting market order. Once verified, it will be dealt with seriously to effectively safeguard the interests of users, and the supervision of users and tank fans is also welcome.

According to the announcement mentioned in the user in the Short Video platform post said, His previous release about tank 300 price increase video has been removed, Tank manufacturers called themselves, Think unlikely to appear price jump to pick up the car situation. Therefore, the user re-ordered a tank 300 in the dealer, among which the car price of 213,800 yuan was credited to the account of 4S shop, and the price increase of 8000 yuan was credited to the private account designated by 4S shop. The tank 300 produced on December 3,2021 was delivered to his own front, and he did not place an order online before, waited in line, added some money and immediately picked up the car, so that he had already paid the deposit. What do you think of the prospective owner who is still waiting for the car? The user also mentioned that the car price of 213,800 yuan, the invoice only opened 163,800 yuan, a full 50,000 yuan lower, and the reason given by 4S shop is to help save purchase tax, what is the nature of this behavior? In addition, the user also said that this situation occurred because the internal leaders of the Great Wall colluded with dealers, as long as they strengthened, they could pick up the car.

Of course, according to the latest announcement issued by the tank brand, the situation described by the user that the dealer sells the car at a higher price has been confirmed, but the tank brand denies the collusion between the manufacturer and the dealer.

On December 10, the tank SUV released a "Tank 300 Electronic Contract Signing Announcement" on the official Weibo, indicating that it would not tolerate unreasonable price increases by dealers, and that the tank 300 official electronic contract system would be launched on December 20. In short, customers who order Tank 300 must sign an electronic contract.

The specific contents of the announcement are as follows: In order to maintain market order and consumers 'rights and interests, tank brand officials emphasize zero tolerance for dealers' unreasonable price increase sales infringing upon users 'legitimate rights and interests, and non-delivery according to rules. Tank officials will launch the tank 300 electronic contract system on the 20th of this month. After launching, all users who place orders for tank 300 will need to sign an electronic contract.

The tank 300 was launched in December 2020 and was first attributed to Great Wall WEY. At the Shanghai Auto Show in April this year, the brand-new high-end brand tank owned by Great Wall was officially released. Since then, Tank 300 has been included in the tank brand, and the original WEY standard has also been replaced with TANK standard. Up to now, tank 300 has been on the market for one year, but due to the impact of chip shortage, tank 300 continues to appear in short supply, and the Spring Festival is approaching, many users in order to be able to successfully pick up the car before the Spring Festival, do not hesitate to raise the price to pick up the car, and many merchants are also aiming at this point, take advantage of the opportunity to fish for a handful. In addition, the same is true of the used car market. Due to the shortage of new cars, many users will also turn their eyes to the used car market. The demand will only increase or decrease. A second-hand tank 300 that has been open for several months can still be sold at a price higher than the purchase price.

As a domestic brand, it is commendable to explicitly prohibit merchants from selling cars at higher prices, and punish a dealer who reports that there is a price increase selling behavior. However, even if the manufacturer explicitly prohibits this behavior, whether there is a "black box operation" in the terminal market still requires user feedback, which may not be an individual phenomenon.
