I was really wrong.
This mistake is too wide of the mark. From paying the deposit to picking up the car, from insurance to installing springs, from entrusting a 4S shop to finding two cows to get a license, I was really wrong and unforgivable.
I only know that it is difficult to get a foreign license for a Shanghai hukou, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult!
I only know that the 4S shop is dark, but I didn't expect it to be so dark! !
In mid-March, I paid a deposit of 5 thousand yuan. Because this car sells well, the sales girl said it would take some time, at least one month. I think it doesn't matter for a month. Anyway, I've been with my donkey for so many years, so let's spend more time together. Thinking of the dying donkey, I secretly said, old friend, after a while, you can retire ...
I waited patiently, but the little girl was vague and wanted to reveal something to me. I blinked. I walked out of the gate of the 4S shop, and the little girl followed me casually. When I came to the corner, I couldn't wait to ask, "Xiao Zhao, is there a problem?" The little girl whispered, "There is actually a car in the shop."
"Then why should I wait for more than a month?"
"Well, this car sells well, and the price you gave us is too low. The leader said that customers with lower prices asked them to wait for a while, and customers with higher prices could return the car. "
"Oh, how much do I have to pay to pick up the car?"
"Not much, at least 1000 yuan."
I thought about it and said, "No, this price is not low, and the secondary distribution organization is lower than this price 1000." If you add 1000, isn't it more than 2000 more expensive than the second delivery? "
I paused and continued: "I also apply for a license and insurance here. If a friend wants to buy a car in the future, I can also recommend one or two cars to you. "
The little girl looks embarrassed. After a while, "how much do you want to add at least?"
"Of course, my less the better. If you want to add 1000, I'd rather wait. I am a working class, so it is not easy to buy a car. In addition, several of my colleagues are planning to buy a car. Just wait for my result If the price is reasonable, they will definitely come to see the car. I came to your shop to see the car, and my colleagues got together to discuss it. As long as my business is done, I am not worried that they will not come! "
After listening to my words, the little girl frowned and said, "The leader will never withdraw your car without adding some money." She glanced at me. "If you want to withdraw your car, you must increase some money. Please quote me a price, and I'll ask the leader. I can't do such a thing. I am really sorry! "
"How much did they add?"
"Other customers generally add 1000, and some add 800."
"Don't say more, 500, can I return the car. I will wait for the bus if it exceeds 500! "
I know what the little girl said is nonsense, but I really have to wait for a month and feel very sorry. Who doesn't want to get the car early, and who wants to wait every day?
"You wait here, I'll ask for instructions about the leadership. If not, I can't help it. I will try my best to put in a good word for you. "
"Ok, thank you!"
About ten minutes, I saw the little girl's spring smile, and I knew that my 500 yuan was gone.
"You can return the car, but the leader said that there will be no such discount next time."
"Ha ha, thank you! Why don't I introduce more colleagues? "
"Ha ha, you must introduce me."
"Then when can I pick up the car?"
"anytime"
"How can I do insurance? Pick up the car first or take risks first? "
"Do insurance first, and then I'll give you a temporary card. Do you want a temporary card in the province or in the city? "
"Is there a difference between going out of the province and not going out?"
"One is from Shanghai, and the other is not allowed to leave Shanghai."
"Oh, I'm not going out of Shanghai anyway, so I'll open a temporary card in the city."
"Well, it costs money to open a license. You have to pay for this money yourself, we will help you open it, and the service fee is not needed. "
"How much is that?"
"50 in the city, outside the province 100." (Later, I learned that the original temporary card was 5 yuan, whether it was outside the province or in the city)
"Oh, ok, how long can the temporary card be opened?"
"45 days."
"Is it longer to be out of the provincial capital?"
"The same."
"Well, help me open a downtown. Thank you. "
"You're welcome!"
……
Two days later, I paid the full amount, including insurance premium, vehicle purchase tax and exit fee. The license fee of 9000 is said to be in Zhejiang. I think it saves me a lot compared with the Shanghai license plate of 40 thousand. It only takes three weeks to get a license in Zhejiang, and the license plates in other places are quite cheap. In Shanxi, it's 5000, and people can't go there. I just think it's a little far. I'm afraid I have to check the car before I go. I'm a stranger, and I don't know how to sell it then. Although I can't bear to take the Shanghai license, the ones around Shanghai last time were not bad. Anyway, checking the car gives us the right to travel. After all, Shanxi is too far away. If it is within 700 kilometers, I will consider it. I was originally a foreigner, but my account was transferred to Shanghai. Although my hometown is not far away, for a novice, drinking a pot is enough. Besides, the new car has driven so far that I haven't run in yet. I am distressed … ..
It takes three weeks to get the license, and the temporary license can be opened for 45 days as long as it does not affect my usual car use.
The little girl took me to get the materials. I looked at it carefully. Invoice in quadruplicate, one certificate of conformity and a lot of insurance. Then there is the legendary temporary license plate. No, didn't the temporary license say 45 days? I am whispering in my heart, why is my card only 15 days? I couldn't help asking, "Didn't you say Cary has 45 days? Why do I only have 15 days? "
"Well, the license can be played three times, each time it is 15 days, and one * * * is 45 days."
"Oh, I see."
The 4S shop said that if you want to get a permit, then the materials should be put in the shop. When you get a permit, just drive by.
I drove home, and the license plate hasn't arrived these days. I'm not afraid of taking pictures by electronic police, so I can practice more, and the opportunity is rare. I dare not drive to work these two days. At rush hour, the traffic is very heavy. Novices are either worried about people getting caught in the cake or bumping into others. The more they think about it, the more they feel that they should go to places where no one is there to practice, so they still ride donkeys to work as usual every day … ..
Flying rabbits walk in the blink of an eye. Ten days have passed in an instant, and the calm days seem to imply the coming of a storm. I always feel uneasy when I can't get the license plate, and I often hear colleagues talk about the license plate in the company, saying that it is difficult to get the license plate in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, either to apply for a license or to transfer the ownership, and there will be one more transfer information in the real estate license, which will affect the sale of cars in the future (I never thought about changing cars). He also mentioned that whoever used to go there had a public license plate. As a result, it was time to inspect the car for two years. Because I have no certificate (like organization code certificate), I can't even check the car, and I feel panic again ... I got through to Xiao Zhao again. "Hello, Xiao Zhao! I am Lao Li! "
"Oh, Mr. Li! Hello! "
"What happened to my license plate?"
"Well, I don't know about the license plate. Can I ask for you later? As if in a few days? "
"There will be ten days, now to what extent? Can you ask for me? "
"Well, all right. Say hello and I'll call you back! "
"Ok, thank you!"
I had butterflies in my stomach and ate something at noon. Just finished eating, Xiao Zhao called.
"Hello, Mr. Li, this is Xiao Zhao!"
"Hello, Xiao Zhao, have you been looking for me?"
"I just went to the accreditation department to ask, your temporary residence permit has been done, and the materials are still under examination and approval. Everything is normal, except for a little change. "
"What's the change!" I'm in a hurry, say.
"It may take a few days. It's tight there now. The leader is on a business trip these days. We have to wait for him to come back and sign. "
"Which leader?"
"Is the leadership over there. All Shanghai hukou registration cards over there must be signed by him. "
"Oh, can mine pass?"
"Haha, it's no problem if you want to pass!"
"Ha ha, that's good. I have been in a panic since the license plate didn't arrive one day, so I called to ask. Now that you have told me the situation, I am relieved. How long do I have to wait? "
"It is estimated that you have to wait another ten days. If your temporary license expires, I'll give you another one. "
"Oh, that would be best, thank you."
"Do you have any questions?"
"No, thank you, Xiao Zhao!"
"You're welcome. Please call me again if you have any questions. We will inform you in time if there are any problems here. "
"Well, ok, thank you very much!"
……
I made a phone call and asked, and I really felt much more practical. In ten days, my car will have a license plate. ...
When I go home at night, my wife is surfing the Internet. We talked about buying a car and getting a license. My wife said, "Several colleagues in our unit got their licenses outside, not in a 4S shop. It is said that the license fee for 4S is too expensive, and 4S is handled by others. Is it too expensive to spend 9000 yuan on the last Zhejiang license? "
"Now that it has been handed over to the 4S shop, don't worry. It is more reassuring to apply for a foreign license in a 4S shop. In the future, if the car has friction and contact problems, 4S can handle them. How worry-free. "
"Those things were originally made by 4S. If you don't play cards with him, can he not help you in the future? "
"……"
Anyway, it's okay. I just searched the internet for companies that handle foreign licenses. There are many such companies, including Pudong, Puxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Heilongjiang. I mainly prefer Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and I called several companies. Some companies say yes, while others say no. Generally speaking, it is difficult to apply for a certificate in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and it takes one month. The main question is whether there will be sequelae after applying for a license in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and their answers are different. Some say it's no problem, others say it will have some impact. One thing is the same, that is, you can't transfer to Shanghai in the future, and it is more expensive than other places. In other words, if you want to sell a car in the future, then this license plate has cost nearly 10,000 yuan, and it has become scrap iron that cannot be sold (because it needs to be recycled). Ten thousand dollars as waste paper will make most people feel a little reluctant. At this moment, my heart is a little shaken. License plates outside Jiangsu and Zhejiang are checked in Shanghai anyway, so there is no need to drive there. Moreover, the price is so high that it is 4,000 to 5,000 more expensive than the licenses in other places. If I have this 5000 yuan, my purchase tax will be almost saved. Moreover, foreign licenses outside Jiangsu and Zhejiang can handle people and cars, and the fuel cost is also saved, 5,000 yuan.
There are even more companies checking cars. ...
The more I think about it, the more I feel that going to Jiangsu and Zhejiang is a bit of a loss ... but the materials are still in the 4S shop. If they are not there, will they give it back to me? Let's call again tomorrow to ask. Look at the time. It is still early. Let's look at insurance.
I didn't know, but I was shocked when I saw it. My insurance premium was scared away by at least 4S, and my heart was sweating. In addition, the license fee is 1000 yuan more than other places, and it costs nearly 2000 yuan more, making a total of 7000 yuan more. It is necessary to call the 4S shop tomorrow. No business is dishonest. I really should say that.
The next day, I called Xiao Zhao again.
"Good morning, Xiao Zhao!"
"Good morning! Mr. Li! "
"Xiao Zhao, is like this. The family said that if the license plates in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are really difficult to handle, then we will change to other places. I have a friend who knows the police of a local vehicle management office in Jiangxi and said that he can help me with the license plate in Jiangxi. If you are not sure there, then I will take the materials back and deal with them in Jiangxi. "
"Well, I'll ask the licensing department. See if you can get it back. "
A few minutes later, Xiao Zhao called and said
"Hello, Mr. Li, your materials are being reviewed over there and have been signed, so you can't get them back. If you had told me that time yesterday, you might have been able to get them back. "
"Didn't you say yesterday that the leader was on a business trip and hasn't come back yet?" I thought about it and said, "Why did you sign it at once?"
"The people in the licensing department said that they were afraid of your worry and found other leaders. The signing was very smooth. Maybe you can get the certificate next week. "
"Really? Great! "
"Well, it's true. The licensing department will inform you to go to the licensing department next week. You just have to wait for the call. "
"Well, all right. Thank you! "
Playing Tai Chi with me again, I know the little girl is bluffing again. I always think it's a bit of a loss to play cards in 4S shop, so I won't go now Since she said she could play, it's more expensive, but it's safe. She can still go there to play. I wonder how many days it will take. Alas, I didn't spend less time changing my Shanghai hukou, but now I don't know the result because I don't spend less time getting a foreign license in my Shanghai hukou, and my future is bleak. ...
As the days passed, I didn't wait for the licensing department to call me. When I called Xiao Zhao, I knew I couldn't get a result. Anyway, she will open a temporary card for me. The first temporary card has expired. The second temporary card was sent to me by Xiao Zhao.
I have been carrying the car for 20 days, when Xiao Zhao gave me a call.
"Hello, Mr. Li!"
"Hello, Xiao Zhao, can you go to the card tomorrow?"
"Mr. Li is like this. Now the management there is very strict. Don't go down these two days, wait for another two days. "
"Wait, I have been waiting for twenty days. Can you give me an accurate time? "
"Wait a week at most!"
"Wait another week, my temporary card has expired again!"
"It's okay, play cards. I'll open it for you again. "
"It's not the license, but the license has not been implemented, and I always have a sense of practicality. If I wait another week and I can't get the permit, then I won't go through your agency. You tell your leader that I am very dissatisfied. "
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Li. The license is really a bit long. We'll try our best to do it for you as soon as possible. I will tell the leader what you said. "
"Well, ok, thank you!"
These days, I can drive to work by myself, but I always go on the road naked, which is ok. I heard that the electronic police can't shoot it. Novices will inevitably notice something on the road. After practicing for more than 20 days, I can't find the feeling of driving, but I haven't got the experience of getting on the high speed yet. If you don't go to work tomorrow, you can go out for a walk and prepare the next card.
Waiting, one's life is spent in waiting, parents are waiting for their son to grow up quickly, waiting for his son to get married and have children ... I have been waiting for the license. It's been the fourth week, and there is no result yet.
"Xiao Zhao, what is the situation now!"
"Hello, Mr. Li, I just got back from the licensing department. I just want to call you! "
"Oh, what's the situation now?"
"The people in the licensing department said that they won another group of customers last week and succeeded. The police said that the owner of the next bus from Shanghai should have a local work certificate, so something happened this time, and it will take a few days. The licensing department is solving this problem, so please be patient. "
"Xiao Zhao, hurry up, I don't want to wait any longer. It's almost a month, and the production of a car is not so slow. Please help me send the materials back. I won't do it. "
"Mr. Li, you have been waiting for a month, and your license will come out in a few days. You've been waiting a long time. Do you care about waiting another week? "
"Here's the thing. What if I wait another week and the license plate still doesn't come out? "
"Well, the license plate hasn't come out anyway. If you can't get it in a week, then the materials will be returned to you, okay? "
"That's it, give you another week, I hope there will be good news next time! Hey, the last license is still so difficult. "
wait for ...
wait for ...
Still no news. ...
Continue to wait
A week has passed, and I still haven't received a call, and I don't want to call to ask. I went to the 4S store with my wife, and Xiao Zhao kept saying sorry to me. I also think this little girl has been dishonest, but after all, it is not easy for her to make a living, so I asked her to take me to the licensing department directly.
At this moment, Xiao Zhao said I was telling the truth. There is no licensing department at all. All the license plates were made by the scalper outside me. The ox is newly discovered and hasn't been made yet.
I forced my anger and said, "I'm so disappointed. Please help me get the materials back." I'm going to find my friend now. He can help me. "
"The material is not in our store, but it is still in the hands of the ox."
"Didn't you say that after a week, if the license is not issued, will you help me get the materials back?"
"The materials won't arrive until the day after tomorrow."
"How can I believe you? I don't want to embarrass you, and it's not easy for you. Let me talk to your leader! "
"Don't be angry, Mr. Li. I guarantee that your materials will arrive in three days. "
"Well, I'll trust you again and come back to get the materials in three days."
When I left the 4S shop, I remembered that my temporary license had expired again. There's only one last one. If the license plate hasn't been issued, my car really won't move. If my car wants to drive to a licensed place next time, it will be stopped on the highway. I smell danger. The third temporary card won't open. Save it for the next time you need a car.
On the third day, I went to the 4S store, and Xiao Zhao gave me the materials, saying that if I wanted to go outside to get the license, I had to pay the registration fee of 1000 yuan to the store.
"Why didn't you tell me about the registration fee before?" I was anxious, and my face suddenly pulled down: "What do you mean, now?"
"Mr. Li, you don't worry, please listen to me. You told me before that your foreign license came to our store, and the filing fee was included. I didn't explain it to you, but if you go outside, you will pay the filing fee yourself. "
"That you should tell me before. If the license plate is not good, you should charge me 1000 for the record. Is this reasonable? "
"Mr. Li, this 1000 yuan is not a license fee, but a registration fee. Report the information on your card to the factory, so as to serve customers well. "
Speaking of eloquence, we are no match for salespeople, but if we really do it, everyone feels a little wronged, so I said, "Then you have to give me some compensation for dragging me on for so long?"
"Mr. Li, Jiangsu and Zhejiang licenses are inherently difficult. The scalper didn't do it and charged us. A temporary residence permit was collected in 500 yuan, and the other 7788 expenses add up to nearly 2,000 yuan. We didn't charge you this fee either, because you quit without saying a word, and those losses are all our company's. As for your loss, you didn't lose a penny, just spent some time. "
If we quarrel with them, we will always be weak, "500 at most" I said calmly.
"I will report to the leader."
"Ok, hurry up!"
"Mr. Li, I'm sorry, our leader said that this money is indispensable!"
"Isn't that good?" I feel very angry. "I went to your leader, and today he must give me an explanation!" "I just said sternly.
At this time, there were more people watching cars in the 4S shop, probably because my voice was a little loud and attracted the attention of others. Xiao Zhao saw it in his eyes. I was afraid that the scene would get out of hand, so I took me to see their manager first. I don't beat around the bush, just say, "Manager Zhang, I'm here for an explanation."
"Oh, hello, Mr. Li, you sit down. Just now, Xiao Zhao also came to me to explain the situation. This matter is indeed that our work is not in place. "
"I also know the difficulty of Jiangsu and Zhejiang accreditation. I didn't ask you to take any responsibility. I just don't understand one thing, that is, the registration fee. Why didn't I say there was a filing fee before I bought a car and got a license? Is there a filing fee when I hold the materials for my own permission? "
"Mr. Li, it is like this. At that time, you said that you would apply for a certificate here, and all the expenses were covered, so there was no such fee. But if your car needs to be licensed outside, how can our company help you pay for it? Don't you think? "
"This is your problem. If you had explained the situation to me at that time, I also had a budget in mind. If it were you, wouldn't you have any thoughts in your heart? Besides, you said you had to pay the registration fee, so I accepted. However, if you want to pay 1 0,000 yuan, I will never agree. " I'm thinking, I'm barefoot. I'm afraid you can't put on your shoes. I'll look like I'm dying.
When the manager sees this momentum, he may be afraid that things will make a big fuss and have a bad influence. "For you, we also lost a lot." After drinking water, we continued: "We spent 2000 yuan there. If there are fewer registrations here, won't we lose more? This is absolutely impossible ... "
Seeing that I wanted to cut in, he turned to another peak. "Well, you don't have to pay the registration fee of 1000 yuan. There are too few 500 yuan. 800 yuan, the company will assume 200 yuan for you. What do you think? "
At this time, I just want to get the materials early and play cards outside, so that I can save four or five thousand.
"Ok, I just want to get the materials as soon as possible."
"Xiao Zhao, go and get the materials for Mr Li."
I finally got the 4S shop done, and I breathed a long sigh of relief. Although I was scared by another 800 yuan, what I saw was the savings of 4 thousand yuan.
I called back to the company, asked the leader for leave, and went directly to a licensed company.
Into the so-called licensed company, there is a crude blank room. Thick smoke filled the messy room. Is this the legendary "yellow cattle" who can't see the tail of the dragon, but the fairy tale is hard to find, but it is pervasive and everywhere?
Open the box directly: "Where can I get a license here?"
"You can go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang."
"That how to manage? Can people and cars not go? "
"People and cars in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have to pass."
"Where can the man and the car not go?"
"Henan, Shanxi."
"It's too far, is there a closer one? For example, Jiangxi and Anhui. "
"No, these places have been closed."
"Is it impossible to turn it off?"
"yes."
"Did you pay taxes in advance?"
"yes."
"Which place is closer to Henan or Shanxi?"
"Henan is closer."
"Then I will work in Henan."
"Ok, let's sign the agreement."
"Let me look at the agreement first."
Look at the agreement carefully, there is no problem. I signed an agreement with them, and he also helped me get the frame number. Calculated, it saves a lot of money than Jiangsu and Zhejiang. All the materials were given to them, and when they went out, they asked, "How long will this take?"
"Two weeks. I'll let you know then and keep in touch."
"Well, the sooner the better, my license has expired. I also want to use my ID card. "
"Don't worry, have what thing to me! I am here! "
Seeing that he is so confident, I think there should be no problem!
Wait again. Waiting for the flowers to bloom, waiting for the flowers to fall, waiting for the arrival of the license plate.
One day, two days and a week passed, the materials were taken away by the scalper, the temporary license plate was not opened, and the car could not be driven. I have to ride a donkey to work again these days. ...
On the tenth day, I called to ask about the situation. The scalper said the situation was normal, and it was my turn these two days. He told me to keep waiting. This news is good news for me. My license will come down in two days. Hey, hey, I don't have to drive naked anymore. I'm not afraid of JCSS anymore. ...
Two days later, I called again and the scalper said it was closed today.
Today is a working day. Why don't you go to work? I was puzzled, but I didn't find it. I guess those places are relatively small and lazy to go to work.
"Then when can my license come out?"
"Don't worry, I'm sure I can come out within a week."
"Why another week?"
"Because the police there have something, didn't go to work, it will take a few days to do. Don't worry, nothing will happen. "
"As soon as possible. My car hasn't been driven for several days. If I don't move, it will rust. "
"Well, I'll do it as soon as possible."
……
Four days later, I called to ask, and the result was still waiting.
Endless waiting reminds me of the last experience, and the sense of crisis comes back again. Is there something wrong again? Is it so difficult for a Shanghainese to get a foreign license? Completely speechless.
It's been almost two months since I bought a car, and I've made countless efforts. After 60 days and nights, there's still no news. My heart is very cold ... I don't want to call now to ask what the result is, and I guess the news is not good either.
In this way, another week passed and the scalper didn't call me. I need an ID card to travel in half a month. So I made a phone call and asked, "Hi! Brother, is my license plate ready? "
"Not yet, there has been closed. We help you in Inner Mongolia. What do you think? "
"Inner Mongolia? Shit! ! So far away, you don't have to go abroad next time. " The first time I swore, I felt very angry. He didn't call me after it was closed, and he helped me get it to Inner Mongolia directly without my consent. Cattle are really not generally unreliable. "Help me get the materials back, I'm not on. My materials have been with you for 23 days, do you know? If you can't do it, you should tell me earlier, at least you can go to Inner Mongolia with my permission! "
"Mr. Li, the license plate in Inner Mongolia is not a combination of people and cars. You can inspect cars in Shanghai in the future, and the license fee is super cheap. Is it cheaper for you 1000 yuan? "
"No, it's far away. In the future, I will sell my car and have to drive. "
"You don't have to sell cars in the future. Just give it to me. I'll file it for you. "
"I don't know if you will be engaged in this line in the future. Who am I looking for when you leave? It's not about selling cars, it's about checking cars! "
"I will always do this, this is my main business. I can do anything for you. "
"Not much to say, Inner Mongolia gave me all don't! You help me bring the materials back. "
"Mr. Li, the materials over there will take a week to come. Your license will be ready in a week. "
"Bring it back, I won't do it, it's too far."
"Do you want to go somewhere else?"
"No, I took the Shanghai license."
"Mr. Li, think about it. The license plates are the same everywhere. "
"No, I'd better forget the last Shanghai license. After all this trouble, my car can't move. Besides, my ID card needs urgent use. When can you return the materials to me? "
"Are you sure you don't want to consider other places?"
"Don't consider. Get my ID card and materials as soon as possible. "
"Then come and get the materials next week."
"hmm!"
