Hello, everyone! I'm Mogo
Another lovely week
The onion car arrived as promised
Xiao Zhao and I picked up a leak
The original protagonist of this issue was a tianlai
But a XC60 popped up
Let's decide to be a scumbag who changes hearts once
Since it is a good car to pick up leaks
Let's share it with you at the first time
Even at the time of filming, the car was not ready
Straight to the sky...
There are also snacks in the car with the temperature of the previous owner
With this car, let's talk first
Can used cars pick up leaks?
How used cars pick up leaks
What is leak picking
This car is 17 years, running 70,000 kilometers volvo XC60 zhijin upgraded version, the color is the mainstream white, the more reasonable price on the market is almost 190,000. The listing price of the onion good car is 180,000, which is less expensive than the market price, and it is already a leak.
If there is a model of the same model for 18 years, it has only run 50,000 kilometers. Or a high-end model with a similar mileage. Also sold for 190,000. The same price to buy a car above the market average, which is also a leak.
If there is one of the same cars, it is only 150,000. This is not a big leak, it is recommended that you carefully check the condition of the car. If you deviate too much from the market price, you will definitely have a cat's grease that you can't see at a glance.
If someone tells you at this time: he has an exactly the same XC60, with a higher configuration, better color, and a surprise price of 100,000 yuan. Call the police brothers!!! This iron is a liar!!!
All in all: the market does have small leaks to pick up, but there can be no pie in the sky.
When there is a leak to pick up
Why are there small leaks to pick up? After all, used cars are a business, and the price of leaks is definitely profitable for car dealers. The reason why it is willing to sell at a lower price than the reasonable market price is mainly to not occupy inventory.
Some of the replaced second-hand cars may not fit the direction of the main business of car dealers, and they can sell quickly at a relatively low price, and they can also give limited resources to models with faster circulation and higher profits.
In extreme cases, there are also cases of picking up large leaks. For example, one day, the car dealer encountered some financial pressure and urgently needed to pay back, and may sell some unpopular and difficult to sell at a loss. If you are lucky enough to catch up with the car dealer who is not dry, you may also encounter a tear-jerk sale.
But in general, leaks are unattainable. If there is a leaky model, it will generally be quickly digested within the car dealer. Especially in today's convenient information exchange situation, for the average consumer, there are few opportunities to pick up leaks.
Is the XC60 worth picking up?
Unique Nordic design
This XC60 is an upgraded version of the 2017 T5 AWD. It was the last new car of the first generation XC60. In 2018, the XC60 was replaced by a SPA platform to complete the replacement. Compared with the more global second-generation XC60, the first generation XC60 has a stronger Nordic atmosphere.
The shape of the whole car is not like a mid-size SUV, more like a raised station wagon. Note that this design is an XC60 concept car that began in 2006. Now it doesn't look outdated, and at the time it was a completely trend-setting.
After the mid-term revamp, the front face shape is more stylish and gentle.
Although the headlights do not yet have Thor's Hammer, the staircase design of the taillights is a classic element of the Volvo brand.
The Nordic style is more reflected in the interior, and the copper-colored metallic central control panel is very distinctive. The overall layout is also unique. Today's Volvo central control shape is derived from the design of the central control button area of this generation of models.
The design of the floating air console pioneered by the Volvo S40 left a deep impression on my young mind.
The skeuomorphic air conditioning panel and the materialized nine-square grid keyboard are all designs with very memorable points:
The headrest design is unique, ergonomically considered, and has a sense of IKEA's Nordic design.
There's also an interesting little detail: the trunk lid is designed with a small grappling hook that can be used to secure the cover for easy access to items from the storage slot below. On this shape, it looks like "the old man is tickling and tickling"
More valuable details
The Zhijin Upgrade is one of the five upgraded models in the last batch of the previous generation XC60, and has been upgraded in configuration. The main reason is that at that time, Zhilian Technology was fully decentralized, and there were car machines that supported networking. The XC60 was also one of the first models to be equipped with an active safety system.
Heated seats have been added to the rear:
When the first owner bought the car, he also installed a 360° ring shadow in the storefront.
More importantly, this leak-picking car, the original owner has just changed into four brand new tires.
To sum up: the previous generation XC60 was arguably one of Volvo's most successful models. With 1,070,984 units sold over its entire lifetime, it was one of the most popular mid-size SUVs in Europe for many years in a row. In the domestic market, the previous generation of XC60 has also sold more than 10,000 units a month for many consecutive months.
For home users who are looking for practicality, the XC60 was a very suitable choice in the past. Today, a few years later, the XC60 used car, which can land for less than 200,000, is also a very affordable and suitable choice.
Vehicle condition inspection
The coldest day in Beijing
I pulled Xiao Zhao to check the car condition in detail for everyone
Basic vehicle condition
The vehicle currently has a mileage of 77,000 kilometers, and as a vehicle for 5 years, the mileage is in the normal range. From the Volvo Friends Guild coat of arms on the car, it is not difficult to see that the former owner is a car lover.
The condition of the interior, which has not been cleaned at the time of shooting. Although it looks a little dirty, there are no obvious signs of wear. The leather of the seats, in particular, is still soft and delicate.
The former owner has just replaced the four new tires, the front wheel uses the horse brand TC6 SUV tire, and the rear wheel uses Goodyear's Royal SUV tire. The use of different brands of tires on the front and rear wheels is also normal and does not affect the performance of the vehicle. The rim is also in good condition, except for the normal wear and tear of the five-year-old car, no more obvious scars have been found.
Complete vehicle tools and spare tires. It is worth mentioning that there is also a pair of white gloves and a pad cloth on the ground when changing tires.
The vehicle window foil is black and the color is medium depth.
Sheet metal lacquer
The paint of this car remains in good condition, and the white paint does not change color. The values of the areas prone to scratching are basically normal everywhere.
However, through the detection of the paint film instrument, there are traces of paint repair at the rear fender wheel eyebrows of the whole vehicle, and the location is consistent with the vehicle maintenance report. There is no color difference between the paint and the rest of the vehicle.
Dynamic performance
Although it is Volvo's T5 model, the T5 at this time is already a 2.0T four-cylinder engine, and volvo's unique in-line five-cylinder engine is no longer used. Naturally, there is no way for everyone to experience what it is like to open a unique five-cylinder machine.
Judging from the preservation of the texture of the chassis of the whole vehicle, the former owner did not have a very intense driving, and should be based on daily commuting.
