Now you lose less to buy a new car News

Are you in the market for a new car, there's good news: its reduction, from the is decreased drastically, and a number of models keeps the price well.

This applies, in particular, the station wagon versions of the Kia Ceed and Skoda Octavia with petrol engines, there is a sharp persecution of the Toyota Auris, Dacia Lodgy, VW Golf and Hyundai i30. The models are at the top in a new analysis, which bilsalgssiden Bilbasen have made, and according to market researcher Jan Long, to be a part of the reasoning found in the recent tax reductions.

- the Reason for the low afskrivningsniveau are the most recent three years of afgiftsomlægninger that have made the cars significantly cheaper. The lower the price, the lower the depreciation, and here is the Kia and Skoda the most prisstabile, he says.

Bilbasens analysis places the cars as the Alfa Romeo Giulietta and the Mitsubishi Spacestar in the bottom of the scale, while, for example, the Renault Megane and the Opel Insignia is in the middle when it comes to the loss of value.

Generally the amendments, however, made it cheaper to be car owner, points out Jan Long.

- Overall, the analysis shows that it has become much cheaper to own a car. The bad news is that it has been expensive for the car owner, who has bought a car before afgiftsomlægningerne was adopted. The good news is that it has meant that cars have become much cheaper now and in the future, he says.

Method

afskrivningsprofiler based on the relationship between the new price minus the four percent discount and brugtbilernes advertised prices, less two percent discount.

has formed over the past 72 months of depreciation and provides an assessment of the impairment in a three year perspective, where the car runs to 60,000 miles, been serviced according to the requirements and are sold in clean trade in condition A/B.

is the assumption that there is a afgiftsomlægning in the three-year period.

Stable pricing policy
if you Ask Bilbasens market research analyst, there are more reasons that just Skoda and Kia located in the front.

Kia has a garantikoncept with a seven year warranty, which is very strong, and so one has for many years kept a sensible pricing policy which has increased the confidence to the mark, says Jan Long.

The same goes for Skoda, which often have better prices and higher equipment level than the other brands in the VW group. On the way is perceived the Skoda as it snusfornuftige purchase.

- It is the hallmark of both brands, their pricing is fairly stable. It means a lot to car buyers that they can safely buy one of the cars and know that it is not being put over 30,000 dollars down the month after. At the same time propagate prisstrategien on brugtbilmarkedet, where gensalgsprisen over the years also becomes higher, says Jan Long.

Just Kia and Skoda have also in the past been the most værdifaste brands on the market, and the position they have maintained for three years with afgiftsomlægninger.

If you three years ago bought a Skoda Octavia Combi with petrol engine for 304.000 crowns with a depreciation of 41.2 percent, would the loss be 125.664 crowns. According to the figures from Bilbasen costs the same car today 272.000 crowns with a loss of 37.4 percent, similar to the 101.728 crowns. This gives a saving of 23.936 crowns. the

Prices with shades
however, It is not safe, the image will be so unique. Such is the assessment from the Niels Grøftehauge, an analyst at car prices.dk. According to him they will well-known virtues in the coming years be challenged by the electric car took and ever greater demands on vehicle fuel economy and CO emissions.

- There are too many uncertainties in the game. So it is difficult to say anything certain about the presence of the development on car prices, says Niels Grøftehauge.

It also applies to individual car models. He points out that the Skoda Octavia, which traditionally have a fast turnover rate and has just been given new engines, will be a model that keeps the price well. At the same time he is more sceptical about the Kia Ceed continues to be so high.

Ceed model is good enough just come in a new generation with new engines, which pulls up, but the Kia is also at a higher price level than before. The Korean brand has also not so high market share as in the past, and it can end up dragging down. Regardless of what comes, however, the longest with a sensible car, points to Niels Grøftehauge.

- The simple advice is simple: Buy the car that runs the longest on gas mileage. Forget the fast cars – you get the ears in the machine, he says.

It costs generally on the write-off to stand out from the crowd with unconventional painting or a stronger motor. A tredørs GTi model in an unconventional color can easily lose over half its value in three years. the

the Analysis of Bilbasen shows that its reduction, from the particular is minimized among the cars in the intermediate class. In the micro - and miniklassen as well as among MPVS is the loss in return unchanged.

its reduction, from the on benzinbilerne has for many years been higher than in the dieselbilerne, but the analysis also suggests that it is diminishing. According to Bilbasen is the loss close to being the same for the two fuel types. Here it appears also, that the popular station wagon is still the most værdifaste car type.

- Generally has a station wagon with petrol engine and in one of the classic colors of a very low loss of value in relation to the past. You drive about 20,000 kilometres, so it is a sensible alternative to the diesel-powered station wagon. If you drive more, then dieselbilen, however, remains the most rational choice in relation to totaløkonomien, says Jan Long.
