Hello, hello everyone, the old driver of the car inspector has met with you again, I am the used car inspector Dongzi. I used to be an auto mechanic, I think I am still excellent, but I have been working in the car repair industry for 7 to 8 years and I can't find a girlfriend. So I resolutely changed my career to the car inspector, and now I am a used car inspector. It's been almost five years since I came to check the car, and I still don't have a girlfriend! Dear old irons, if you have sisters and sisters at home, you can introduce them to me.
Back to the point, let's talk about the second-hand supercar business, because the new car buying cycle is relatively long, and buying a supercar is to play, the fun is the mainstay, and so play enough to sell, so many people choose second-hand cars, one can buy and withdraw now, and soon be able to meet the happiness; second, the depreciation of the second-hand is smaller, and the play for a period of time can not lose much money, and the cost performance is higher. Although it is a second-hand car, the cost of second-hand supercar is not small, often two or three million, can afford to buy or a few people, many big stars are also bought second-hand.
Dongzi often sees some netizens who are not ashamed, saying that rich people absolutely do not buy second-hand cars, then Dongzi wants to consult them, these supercars are sold to the poor? Of course, the car dealers who do the second-hand supercar business also understand this, and they also know that the boss who buys the supercar is not simple, more or less has a little energy, and it is not easy to offend! Therefore, the car dealers that do second-hand supercar business are all businesses with strength and scale, and the credibility is relatively good, do not hide or cheat, and have a reputation.
Of course, the energy of the car dealership itself is not small, at least it has the ability to resolve disputes, but the business is still harmonious, more is not as good as less, and harmony to make money is king. Not long ago in a city in the south, there were our customers who bought second-hand Lamborghinis and encountered a dispute, and the customers shouted the reporter over, and if they did not solve it, they would expose you! The reporter also wanted to interview our inspector and was politely refused. However, the fans did not grasp the evidence that was more favorable to themselves, and the car dealership was also relatively tough, but it refunded more than half of the deposit and compromised with each other.
Dongzi also encountered such a thing this time, the customer boss commissioned us to test a McLaren 540c, 16 years out of the factory 18 years on the plate, the new car landed more than 3 million, now sell 1.9 million. Green car film, 600LT kit, carbon fiber front lip, carbon fiber deflector... Everywhere, the original owner's love for it is highlighted, and of course, the economic strength of the original owner.
But when he saw the number of kilometers, Dongzi knew that although he had been on the card for more than three years, there were too few supercars that could run to 27,000 kilometers, and it was estimated that the original owners liked to play with cars, and they were about to catch up with the frequency of family grocery shopping. How about the specific car condition, or a comprehensive test of it!
Model year: 2015 3.8T Coupe
Factory Date: 2016-05
Release Date: 2018-07
Meter mileage: 26964KM
Official guidance: 2.72 million
Seller offer: 1.9 million
Let's first take a look at what has been changed, which is helpful for us to judge the situation of the parts. Combing through, front and rear bumpers, tail wings, rear covers, exhaust pipes, steering wheels, paddle shifters, doors (trim strips changed to carbon fiber), lower beam trims, sill trims, who can estimate how much it cost?
For the body film, we can not accurately judge whether the paint surface is spray painted, because the naked eye can not see, can only determine whether there is a large sheet metal situation, which needs to communicate with the customer boss in advance, the big guy expressed understanding.
According to the seller, the car has two layers of film in some places, and even three layers in some places, and the facts have proved to be so. Although the thickness of the paint surface is not low, the distribution of the entire surface is relatively uniform, and there is no phenomenon of high or low sheet metal closure.
It can be seen from here that the color of the original car is red, and the owner still changed the body color at the car management office after pasting the color change film.
After a painting surface, the metal part does not exist in the sheet metal scraping ash spray paint, only a few small scratches, the car film also has different degrees of warping, foaming, etc., can only say that the quality of this film and the technology of the construction personnel is not very good.
The glass production number of the whole vehicle is the same, and there is no replacement or damage.
Because most of the supercars are rear or mid-engined, so the front cabin naturally becomes the front trunk, and the seller needs to remove some trim panels to communicate, and the seller is very happy to agree. So Dongzi removed the front trunk lining in three or two clicks, and you can see the front longitudinal beam, the front fence, the front anti-collision beam, etc. very clearly, without any deformation damage and traces of disassembly and maintenance, and it can basically be judged that there is no accident at the front of the car.
The brake fluid and battery life were checked and in good condition.
The manufacturing date of the two headlights is later than the vehicle factory time, although it is only one month late, but it can also be determined that the headlights have been replaced, and it can be guessed that it is not caused by the accident impact, and it is estimated that it is the cause of the modification.
Front bumper disassembly modification, the front cover screws also have disassembly marks, but there is no modification, the seller said that before the carbon fiber cover was also changed, considering the transfer and other issues, it was replaced back to the original car. It also makes sense, so read on.
Admire the most classic butterfly door of this car, the space is limited, and I took a picture! Everyone is most likely to confuse the scissors door and the butterfly door, here is a simple explanation, straight up and down the scissor door, diagonally up and down the butterfly door, horizontally open the gull wing door.
Both doors of this car have been disassembled, that is because of the A-pillar film and the reason why the door has been changed to carbon fiber.
This car is a mid-engine, 3.8T twin-turbo V8 engine, the shape is designed to be more symmetrical, very mechanically powerful, in fact, it is also violent, 540 horsepower and 540 torque, matching 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, 3.4 seconds to break the hundred! The top speed is 320 km/h!
What is not very convenient is that we have to manually remove the back cover to continue to detect, even so, can not see the full picture of the engine, at present can only see the upper part of the engine has no disassembly traces, there is no oil leakage phenomenon, a moment to look at the chassis and then focus on checking the lower part.
There is no carbon deposited oil inside the engine, and it is best to buy it back or maintain it to master your own rhythm.
The freezing point of the antifreeze is insufficient, it is less than minus 10 degrees, and it is recommended to replace it.
The manufacturing date of the two rear tail lights is also problematic, and there is no need for Dongzi to explain more!
Entering the car, the overall style is rounded, not so sharp and aggressive!
After more than three years of use, there is no obvious wear and tear in the car, cracking and damage.
The instrument is not disassembled, and the picture is relatively simple.
All key functions work properly.
The main airbag is disassembled, for no other reason than him, caused by modifying the steering wheel. The para-airbag did not move.
The seat belt of the whole car is no problem, and the stretch lock is smooth.
The CAR's OBD electronic control system can not communicate, the need for McLaren's professional computer to read, after communicating with the customer boss, the boss agreed to self-test in the later stage.
Lift up and check the chassis. Because the chassis is very low, the chassis of the supercar is protected by a whole piece of guard plate, but it is still inevitable to support the bottom, as long as it does not go to the mechanical structure inside.
Right front tire replacement, left rear tire has a defect, nails! It's best to deal with it, it's a hidden danger when playing drift!
The suspension part, only the right front steering machine ball head has been disassembled and replaced, and the other is normal.
The fixing screws on the front cover of the engine do not have the disassembly marks of friction and paint removal, which can indicate that the engine has not been dismantled and repaired.
The engine pawl screws have been removed, and then according to the contrast between the old and new color of the pawls, it is judged that the engine pawls have been replaced, which is estimated to be caused by the aging of the rubber pad.
Engine water pump leakage antifreeze, the color of antifreeze is still very obvious, the reason why the antifreeze add color, but also because it is convenient to judge whether it has leakage, the color and the quality of the antifreeze has nothing to do with it.
Engine oil pan without disassembly and without leakage.
The transmission pawls remain in their original condition.
There are also obvious oil marks under the transmission oil pan, which is judged to be leakage from the oil seal after the bending, and the wind blows under the oil pan when driving on the road.
After testing the chassis, all the projects are over, comb through the main problems of this car.
1. Appearance: the whole car film, multiple modifications, the whole car cover is disassembled, and the headlights and tail lights are replaced;
2. Interior: slightly dirty, modified steering wheel, gear shift paddles, main airbag disassembly;
3. Cabin: engine leakage after bending, pawl replacement;
4. Chassis: Right front ball head replacement, tire replacement.
With the customer big guy attached again, the big guy said other good, only the engine oil leakage problem can not be accepted, considering that the hand has to repair, it feels unnecessary, and the maintenance of the car will not be low, maintenance of oil leakage also have to remove the gearbox.
So the big guy found the seller to communicate the refund of the deposit, but the seller said that this is McLaren's common disease, not a problem. The big guy found Dongzi for verification, and Dongzi told the big guy that this is indeed a common disease of McLaren, not only McLaren, many high-power engines have this common disease, including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and so on.
But the big guy believes that although this is a common disease, it cannot be denied that there is a problem with the current vehicle, which is inconsistent with what the seller said before, and the seller said that there is no problem with the car, which is obviously different from the actual car situation, so it is necessary to refund the deposit of 10,000.
At this time, Dongzi knew that the big guy had already made a deposit of 10,000 yuan to the seller before he arrived, and before looking at the chassis, he transferred the remaining 1.89 million final payments to the seller's account. Now the seller agreed to refund the balance of 1.89 million yuan and did not agree to refund the deposit of 10,000, because the seller always believed that this was not a problem. Arguing, no way, the big guy hit 110.
After the police arrived, Dongzi also cooperated with the test results, and the buyer and seller did not have any dispute about the condition of the car, after all, Dongzi's professional ability was here. The focus of their controversy is whether the oil spill is a problem or not. After understanding the original commission, the police said that we can't manage such a situation, we can assist you two in negotiating a refund, or it can be resolved through litigation.
The police came and did not play any role, but also have to coordinate themselves, after the police left, the seller also dispersed the melon eating masses, including Dongzi also wanted to be friendly to go out, think we are not involved in the sale, it is not convenient to express opinions, the customer boss nodded in agreement after Dongzi left! After that, I don't know what the outcome is!
In fact, in the whole process, the buyer and seller do not have any fierce quarrels, on the contrary, the mentality of both sides is relatively peaceful, which is worth learning from all of us, and angry to make money, encounter problems to solve problems, quarrels and hands can only intensify contradictions. So, teach this unsolved case to everyone, do you think the seller should refund the deposit?
