Hello everyone! The old driver of the car inspector has met with you again, welcome to watch the second-hand car testing fun facts of this issue, I am an omnipotent, fire-eyed golden-eyed big man, not only a used car testing technician who has repaired the car, but also an accident car dissuasion division, helping customers solve all difficulties is my value.
The protagonist of today's story is a very, very high-class car, which is not ironic, if you really know it deeply, you will know how important it is to the Volkswagen brand, and it is now out of sale, that is to say, it is completely whimsical to buy a new car, and those teenagers who had a vision for it at that time can only look for that throbbing heart in the second-hand car circle after entering middle age.
This issue brings you a Volkswagen Phaeton, following the footsteps of fans to the door of a coffee house. I saw its graceful posture in the distance, the paint was shiny and the protection measures were in place, and in a trance I thought it was a new car that had just rolled off the production line from the Dresden factory, dreaming back to 2015, right, haha. After verification procedures, the car is indeed the exclusive version of the Volkswagen Phaeton 3.0L that left the factory at the end of 2015, but the listing time was postponed to a full year and a half later.
The price of that year is indeed worthy of its identity, although it is a 3.0L model but also as high as 886,800, and now the meter has reached 120,000 kilometers, it seems that the business commuting needs of former owners are still quite high, maybe the money invested in buying a car has been earned back several times. The seller's offer of 368,800 is higher than the market, according to netizens, this should be called the sentiment premium, but fans do not care, as long as the car is in good condition.
When it comes to the condition of the car, it is natural to take me on the field, first of all, around the car, the front bar is replaced, and you can see that there are spray paint marks, but the color difference is not obvious, indicating that the painting process is still passed, the letters on the butt of the car surface its noble identity, but now, many Volkswagen models have done so.
The interior materials are carefully selected leather and solid wood, creating a texture no less than the mercedes-Benz BMW at the same price, and the official announcement video of Phaeton that year said that the standard of leather screening was strict to more than 2-3 mosquito bite marks per square foot. The solid wood loading car is selected from california's top peach wood in 70 years, which makes people call the upper class.
Back to the inspection, the front bar is replaced, then we look at the water tank condenser and the water tank frame, the screws have not moved, and the date on the tank frame is also in line with the factory date.
Although the water tank frame has not moved, but the headlight sealing effect is poor, it can be clearly observed that there is dust inside, and the original headlights will not appear this radiation pattern, so it is judged to be a later replacement.
Because the fender is plastic, it can not give an intuitive paint film instrument test value, and the paint surface to a certain degree of fineness, it is difficult to distinguish whether there has been a replacement, but as long as it is compared with the original paint, some details are relatively easy to find, so it can be inferred that the left side of the rubbing caused by the replacement of the headlight fenders, and the left A column has also been affected, there is spray paint.
And the range of the left A column is not small, from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside are almost sprayed over, which makes it difficult for me to control the big take, directly felt the flashlight.
Careful observation can see that the stringer is full of anti-rust wax, it is normal to wipe it clean, and look at the value will also feel that the problem of the stringer should not be large, and all the attachment screws on the stringer are not disassembled, but if you just let it go, there will definitely be many people who fall into the pit.
Looking at the fender beam to the side, due to the design of the car, the fender beam is not exposed like other ordinary models, and its fender beam is wrapped up in its entirety, so many people no longer look at the fender support that is probing out. Sometimes just look down and you can see that the entire fender beam is cut and repaired.
And the fender bracket is also the late look for the dismantling parts welding, no wonder the paint value is normal, abnormal places are not outside at all, since here are moved, then the front beam head position must also have welding, the flashlight screwed to the brightest, sure enough, the welding point at a glance.
You want to say refining, in fact, this kind of maintenance is really not a refinement, that is, the master who does the repair is only on the heart, but it is precisely the repair master's heart that can make this car deceive many small whites, including car dealers who have certain experience in seeing the car. If it is put in the rainy day of the night or the underground garage to trade this car, I can guarantee that there is an 80% probability of fooling the buyer.
Originally, the seller and the fan said that there was only a change of part, no accidents. But it turns out that the car condition does not meet the psychological expectations of fans, seeing that the fenders and beams here are cut, and it is described in four words: the heart is like dead ash. I felt no longer necessary to look at it, so I pulled on and withdrew.
Finally, under the premise of the normal car condition, the same Phaeton of the same age is generally around 320,000 to 330,000 under the premise of normal car conditions. If you must attach a sentiment premium, it is not easy to say, maybe the seller sees that you like this car, on the head iron a price, after all, the second-hand car market Phaeton car source is less, the car condition is less, in fact, this test of this car is not impossible to buy, mainly fans consider that most of the uses are carrying family travel, 300,000 are spent or have to find a reliable car condition.
