Not bad money! Cost of luxury SUV Mercedes GL550 car

　

　　　　Mercedes-Benz GL Class is the first full-size suv launched by Mercedes-Benz, and it is also the largest SUV of Mercedes-Benz so far. The domineering shape, exaggerated size, huge displacement and luxurious interior clearly show that it is a model for the American market. However, high-end SUVs also have considerable appeal in China. The launch of this model is a strong challenge for Land Rover Range Rover, Hummer and Lincoln Navigator, and only this "Big Mac" can truly deserve the title of "Big Ben".

　　　　Let’s take the Mercedes-Benz GL550 as an example, and take a look at its annual car cost.

　　　　

　　　　

　　　　The use cost we calculate includes fuel cost, insurance, vehicle and vessel use tax, vehicle inspection fee, maintenance fee, parking fee, beauty decoration fee, traffic fine, etc. Among the above expenses, vehicle and vessel use tax and vehicle inspection fee are fixed, but the difference lies in fuel cost, auto insurance (the types of insurance selected vary from person to person, and the rates of different insurance companies are also different) and maintenance cost. If the owner has been in the 4S shop for regular maintenance, the maintenance fee is basically fixed, and it also includes beauty decoration fee and other unforeseen expenses (such as parking fee, accidental maintenance fee and traffic fine). We can take the following calculation formula:

　　　　Car expense = fuel expense+vehicle use tax+auto insurance+maintenance expense+parking fee+unexpected expenses.

　　　　1. Fuel cost:According to Mercedes-Benz GL550, the official fuel consumption is 15.2L/100km. Of course, because the fuel consumption is closely related to the driving environment and the driver’s operating habits, your fuel consumption in actual use may be different from this. At present, the revised price in Beijing is 6.92 yuan/liter for No.93 gasoline and 7.30 yuan/liter for No.97 gasoline. The fuel label of Mercedes-Benz GL550 is No.97. According to the calculation of driving 20,000 kilometers a year, the fuel cost can be obtained as follows:

　　　　Average annual mileage ÷100× 100 km fuel consumption× fuel price =20000÷100×15.2×7.30=22,192 yuan

　　　　2. Vehicle and vessel use tax:The quota of provinces and cities in China is not consistent, taking 480 yuan/year as an example.

　　　　3. Auto insurance:In terms of auto insurance, the price fluctuates greatly due to different insurance items and companies. Take China Ping An Insurance as an example, the eight risks of new cars, including compulsory insurance, third-party liability insurance, vehicle loss insurance, vehicle theft insurance, glass breakage insurance, spontaneous combustion loss insurance, vehicle personnel liability insurance, excluding deductible loss insurance, and the premium of vehicles is 44,040.85 yuan.

　　　　4. Maintenance fee:In terms of maintenance, according to the sales staff in the store, the warranty period of Mercedes-Benz GL-class vehicles is two years and unlimited kilometers, and the daily maintenance cycle is 10,000 kilometers. The price of materials and working hours for minor maintenance (oil filter replacement, etc.) is about 2,000 yuan, and the general cost for major maintenance is about 3,000 yuan. The maintenance cost of Mercedes GL class is still very expensive. According to the calculation of driving 20,000 kilometers per year, the average annual maintenance cost is about 7,000 yuan.

　　　　

　　　　Note: There will be corresponding discounts on insurance fees. Car owners need to "shop around" when taking out insurance, and choose insurance companies with favorable prices and adequate services.

　　　　Description:Because the standard of working hours varies from place to place, and the price of spare parts will be different, the maintenance fee will be different in different regions.

　　　　5. Parking fee:The parking fee is calculated according to the monthly 100 yuan, which is 1,200 yuan in December. This expense is not small!

　　　　6. Unexpected expenses:This part is usually unpredictable, such as fines paid for violating traffic regulations, highway tolls, claims not covered by insurance and other unpredictable expenses. This part varies from person to person, so let’s call it 500 yuan for the time being.

　　　　Comprehensive above expensesThe annual car cost of Mercedes-Benz GL550 is:

　　　　Fuel cost+auto insurance+vehicle and vessel use tax+maintenance cost+parking fee+unexpected expenses = 22192+480+44040.85+7000+1200+500 =75412.85Yuan.

　　　　Then, the monthly car cost of Mercedes-Benz GL500 is: 22113÷12=6284.40 yuan
