玄天國際：帝師汽車有限公司: 買外匯進口車最擔心就是維修保固！

2018年6月10日星期日

買外匯進口車最擔心就是維修保固！

客人問我：買外匯車，您們維修保固找誰呢？

這個問題，有二個面向，第一：這台車在美國的車況，也就是資訊透明度？第二：運車回台灣後，有問題怎麼辦？

先回答第一個問題：這台車在美國的車況。

一般我們建議客人從美國自辦外匯車運回台灣前，都會建議回原廠檢查，因為買保固期內的車，在美國保固期內可以直接開車回原廠，免費，頂多加一點來回的拖車費用。

不過，好的拖車跟不好的拖車，費用差很多，請看這篇：進口車的隱形成本！

再來，美國買車跟台灣不一樣的就是：車輛資訊真的比較透明，我看了很多美國車的報告，真的有很多車是有事故的，而且還公開給大家看，不像台灣…我從來沒有看過事故車。

像是carfax報告，就比我在台灣看到的報告精確許多，請看：

這是一台2017年的BENZ C300，這款車很熱門，所以很多外匯車商有進口來賣，而C300是改款後的C底盤，開起來真的也比較穩！

有關C300價格分析，請看這篇：BENZ C300價格面面觀。

上面的CARFAX有看過嗎？無大事故，無小事故，里程數也不高，唯一有個小問題，Corporate Fleet Vehicle？

這個小公事包，配上這個英文詞，是什麼意思呢？

What is a Corporate Fleet Vehicle的意思？

我查了一下，也跟大家分享：

這就叫做公司車，有可能是結婚禮車出租公司，有可能是飯店的接待車隊，有可能是公務用車，總之，就是公司買來給員工開的車。

If you have a business that makes deliveries, or requires you or your team members to regularly get around via car, then a corporate vehicle is something you definitely need.

在美國，租賃車是很普遍的，只是有些是個人名義租賃的長租車，會叫lease car長租車，有些就是以公司名義租的，就如同此文所講，但為什麼會這樣呢？

Because corporate cars are owned by the company rather than the individual, there are certain things that make it unique. For example, it is possible to get a better loan or lease on the car because the company is purchasing it rather than the individual. The company owner may not have very good credit or may not be in a financial position to get a good loan, but the company will likely be able to get a loan through the bank or the car dealer.

It also puts less burden on the individual, because the company is responsible for payments, financing, and insurance rather than the owner. Because fleet cars are company owned, there can also be certain tax advantages, deductions, and lowered costs.

看到了嗎？都是為了省錢！

有時候個人信用沒這麼好，公司信用較佳，當然，公司貸款就可以取得較低的利率，公司當然可以用來抵稅，好處多多！

而且，若掛名公司車，老闆還可以做一件事：

Another added bonus to fleet cars that you might not think of is the potential for additional advertising. By putting your logo and company information on your cars, you can turn your fleet vehicles into rolling billboards for your business.

看到了嗎？跟我們台灣一樣，在路上偶爾會看到車上噴了一些廣告標語，當作活動廣告宣傳之用。

現在的問題是：我們在CARFAX看到的這個名詞：Corporate Fleet Vehicle會不會影響車況呢？

答案是：不會，請看以下CARFAX公司的說明：

If you see "corporate fleet vehicle" on a report, you're forgiven for being worried. You probably think the car you're considering has been used as a rental car, a taxi, or in another situation where maintenance may not be the first priority. But don't worry: The designation of corporate fleet vehicle isn't necessarily a bad thing.

In most corporate fleet vehicle CARFAX designations, the vehicle was simply leased rather than purchased. The reason it displays as "corporate" is that a leasing company -- and not an individual -- technically owns the car. So most corporate fleet vehicles didn't see hard use as commercial vehicles but rather were normal leases that anyone could get from a dealership.

That said, some corporate fleet vehicles actually were used for business purposes. Sometimes CARFAX will note such cars were registered as "commercial vehicles," but that isn't always the case. Therefore, it's best to get a full mechanical inspection before making a purchase.

看得出來嗎？重點只是這台車的擁有者是公司還是個人，而跟這台車的使用方式無關。因為我們最擔心的是這台車被當一般所謂的「短租車RENTAL CAR」來使用，這種車的車況才可能比較值得擔憂！

不知道這樣的說明對您是否有幫助，希望您能喜歡我們提供的訊息，若您未來有要找人代辦進口車的話，或你想要了解更多進口車資訊，歡迎跟我聯絡！
