Hello ~ hello everyone, I am the car inspector inspector jelly, welcome to watch the latest issue of the second-hand car fun, I am not only a used car testing technician who has repaired the car, but also an accident car dismissal division, welcome to watch the car inspection fun facts of this issue.
When it comes to performance cars, what car comes to mind first? It is the golf R/GTI of the steel cannon industry, the Civic TYPE-R, the Fox RS, the Megana RS... Or mercedes-benz AMG, BMW M performance, Audi RS, Volvo Polestar in luxury brands... While meeting the ordinary model consumer market, most of the major automobile manufacturers will upgrade on the basis of ordinary models to create higher performance models to highlight their own car-making strength and show muscles, and at the same time meet the pursuit of some consumers for higher driving pleasure. General Motors, which was the former world's largest manufacturer (which may be a little long ago), is no exception.
Just like the meaning of golf GTI for golf, with the three words "GTI", Golf has gained a large number of fans around the world, and "GTI" can also be said to directly make the volkswagen brand successfully enshrined. In the same way, Buick also has such a plan, so there is a Regal GS, although it is a little late compared to the "GTI", but the opportunity still exists. Today's customers also like to be a little different, and jelly, who is also a young man, also likes this car when testing this GS. First of all, I will introduce the basic information of the vehicle:
Model year: Regal 2017 GS 28T Premium
Factory date: April 2018
Date of play: July 2018
Apparent mileage: 50,400 km/ h
New car guide price: 269,800
Seller's offer: 155,000
First, after the inspection of the paint surface of the vehicle's exterior covering, no abnormalities were found. The average value is between 110um and 130um, which meets the numerical standards of the original car paint surface, and the naked eye observes the paint surface without finding paint marks, and the fixed screws do not have disassembly and screw marks, and the basic test can be determined to be the original factory.
At the same time, after the inspection of the ABC columns on both sides and the upper and lower beam body structural parts, no traces of spray paint folds were found, and the paint value was between 100um and 130um, which could rule out the suspicion of collision accidents on both sides of the body.
And the glass factory date of the whole car is November 2019, which is consistent with the date of the vehicle assembly and delivery, and there are no traces of disassembly of the glass sealant and the strip, which can be determined that the glass is the original factory. So far the car is very normal.
The 2017 Regal GS28T Premium model uses a maximum power of 261 horsepower (192 kW) with a maximum power speed of 5400 rpm, a peak torque of 350 Nm, and a maximum torque speed of 2000-5000 rpm, which is no different from the parameters of the Regal 2.0T model, and has not been given preferential treatment because of its more unique identity, which is somewhat regrettable. In the same price range, the performance is already good enough, and there is a slight frustration when changing gears, but it does not affect the overall situation! Regal GS still highlights its own sports style, even more sensitive than the big brother LaCrosse, because the car body is small!
The cabin first checked that there were no wrinkle repair marks on both sides of the shock absorber tower peak and fender beam, the welding points met the original car standards, and there were no disassembly marks around the parts, which could determine that everything was normal.
And the paint value of the longitudinal beam on both sides meets the original car standard, the longitudinal beam has no bending folds and knock marks, and the surrounding accessories are not disassembled, which can be determined as the original car factory state, excluding the existence of serious impact accidents in the front.
The water tank at the front of the cabin is not disassembled and replaced.
Then check the headlights of the vehicle, although the date of production of the headlights can not be seen, but there is no disassembly mark of the fixing screw, which can further eliminate the collision accident in the front of the body.
Let's take a look at the engine part, check that there is no disassembly mark on the fixed bracket screw on the upper right side of the engine, the rubber strip has no aging and loosening, and the preliminary test can rule out the suspicion of engine hoisting and replacement.
Moreover, the engine top valve chamber cover and the two sides of the intake and exhaust manifold test did not find abnormalities, the fixed screws have no disassembly and screw marks, there is no oil leakage phenomenon at the gap, and comprehensive detection can rule out the suspicion of engine decomposition and maintenance.
There are no traces of sediment found inside the cabin safety box and the gap in the cabin, and there are no disassembly marks on the fixing screws of each component, and the preliminary test can rule out the suspicion of blistering vehicles.
Let's examine the interior, open the door, you can see that the interior is clean and tidy, there is no abnormal wear and tear and the musty smell after the blisters. And there is a saying that this set of interiors looks sporty, and the materials and workmanship are still in place, no worse than mercedes-Benz BMW Audi.
The interior part first detected no abnormality after the instrument panel skeleton and steering column were detected, the fixing screws had no disassembly and screw marks, the metal skeleton had no abnormal rust and grinding marks, and the factory date was consistent with the vehicle assembly factory date, which could basically be determined as the original factory, and the phenomenon of interior blisters was initially excluded.
And the seat fixing screws in the car also have no disassembly marks, the seat metal skeleton does not have rust and polishing marks, there are no traces of sediment and mold in the seat gap, the bottom sensor and the computer version have no oxidation traces, and the basic test is determined to be the original factory, further excluding the suspicion of blisters in the car.
There is no disassembly mark on the seat belt fixing screw in the car, the seat belt stretch lock is normal, and the comprehensive inspection can be determined as the original factory.
Come to the rear of the vehicle to observe the spare tire pit and rear panels without traces of cutting or deformation damage, the bottom line also has no damage marks, preliminary detection can rule out the serious impact accident at the rear of the body.
Next, after starting the car, with the help of the diagnostic computer to detect the vehicle line and the computer board, it was found that there are currently two fault codes, but the dashboard does not have a fault light display, and the remote control battery can be replaced later.
Then drive the car directly to the pre-agreed repair shop for shelf inspection of the chassis. You can see that the chassis as a whole is still relatively clean and comfortable, and there is no trace of oil leakage.
The engine oil pan has no leakage, no disassembly, and the transmission oil pan is the same, no disassembly leakage, which is expected.
By this time the vehicle is all tested. On the whole, there is no big problem in the vehicle, accidents, blisters, and fires, but there are a small amount of paint repairs on the appearance, the interior is disassembled and modified, and there are oil stains in the chassis suspension. Called and the customer big brother said about the car condition, the customer big brother did not express satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the car condition, just let me send him the test report later on the line, maybe the customer big brother has his consideration. However, when the seller's big brother on the side heard the condition of the car, he was very satisfied, and he did not exclude the buyer from finding a third-party testing agency to test his vehicle, in his original words, "doing business, integrity-based".
Well, today's test sharing is over, I am a used car inspector in the car inspector. Like it, spray if you don't like it. I repair more cars, read less, and write badly, please bear more responsibility. Car inspector, willing to be your friend who knows the most about cars
