Readers are drawn to the auto industry antitrust storm, finally settled.
A car the ratio of the sum of the price of all parts and vehicle price formed LingZheng ratio index, reflecting the maintenance cost of the car. China association of automobile repair disclosed for the first time in April this year, 18 species of common models in ten models LingZheng ratio over 400%, the highest Mercedes c-class LingZheng ratio up to 1273%, which means selling a Mercedes c-class scrapped parts of money, enough to buy the 12 cars.
Analysis according to the personage inside course of study, imports are able to "price of flour sell bread", because the auto parts manufacturers with foreign background in control of the domestic auto parts sales of more than 75% market share. In the domestic market after link, the supply of spare parts is controlled by a foreign manufacturer, sales are controlled by the vehicle manufacturer. Due to the related regulations, management of 4 s shops must obtain the vehicle manufacturers and other aspects of authorized dealers can operate, so the vehicle manufacturer has full control to dealers, on the component prices have absolute power.
Car companies pricing high tall imports market image, not the root cause of the strict antitrust investigation in our country, but multinational auto giant monopoly on price. Automobile after-sale price are prescribed by the manufacturer of practices, make manufacturers dominate, dealers lack of regulation of prices.
Antitrust investigations of momentum is multinational car priced higher than foreign several times, but higher prices on after-sale spare parts, spare parts of the high price because of its quality is very good? Or because the car companies sales service is very good? These are to be fastidious. But car companies will continue to stand in the antitrust investigations footing, must be on the price adjustment, whether in or on the vehicle spare parts, because of the recent car sales market is off-season, so some car companies are for promotional activities, if there is intent to buy a car can consider appropriately, choose the suitable model.
