The purchase of a car in a rich configuration is not available to everyone. And often the overpayment for the possibility of using modern bells and whistles laid down by the manufacturer negates the desire to be very modern. And sometimes the choice is to enjoy the car in the maximum configuration or to purchase an "empty" model, but a higher class. And if it is better to entrust the installation of complex technical elements to professionals, then it is quite possible to add a number of options yourself without loss of quality and operational properties.
Audio system
This option is one of the options to increase the cost of car sales on the part of car dealership managers. A competent seller, seeing a gullible buyer, will surely turn on the music in his car. And then, for comparison, gently demonstrate the capabilities of older acoustics. And, given that the standard sound of most models is far from ideal, the buyer can easily agree to “some overpayment” for quality.
It is clear that sellers are silent about the cost of an alternative opportunity to achieve the same quality. But in fact, the option to install a good audio system in the car yourself on a specialized service will cost at least 2 times cheaper. In addition, the buyer will receive the following additional benefits:
- Independent choice of almost any manufacturer, and not imposed by the dealer.
- Installing exactly those sound system options that are really needed, without overpaying for what will not be used.
- The ability to calculate and evaluate various equipment combinations.
Multimedia system
Today, this option is considered by most motorists to be completely useless. The reasons are as follows:
- Almost any smartphone with proper use can become a full-fledged “killer” of an expensive car multimedia system.
- The convenience of touch control during movement is absent.
- Distraction on a bright colorful multimedia screen reduces driving safety.
- The attractiveness of using the system for entertaining passengers is seen as dubious due to the inconvenient screen layout.
At the same time, it is doubly impractical for the dealer to overpay for a multimedia system. Currently, manufacturers of the "Celestial" offer externally accurate copies of the original systems. They are comparable in quality, but 3-5 times cheaper. There will also be no problems with installation and a guarantee for it when performing work at the service station.
Parking sensors
The option is really convenient and useful. The presence of a parking radar in a car increases the level of comfort and safety of driving, especially in cramped conditions. With the same phrases, car dealership managers are convincing customers not to refuse a pactronic when buying a car.
But if you look, then for serious money in the car will be, in fact, an ordinary Chinese parking radar. No better, no worse. Then why overpay if you can just buy it separately at any time. Moreover, the installation of this device requires a minimum qualification of an electrician. It will be qualitatively installed on any specialized service. And after watching several training videos, almost any car owner will be able to cope with the task.
Thus, having thought over the car configuration option in advance, you can avoid wasting money and get everything you need for a comfortable and safe driving. And the money saved is better spent on an additional set of high-quality rubber or a good headlight for headlights.
