Hello everyone! Inspector Pudding and everyone met again, I am an auto mechanic with many years of experience in accident car maintenance, and now A used car inspector at the car inspector, welcome to this issue of used car testing fun.
Presumably everyone knows that in recent years, the most popular SUV in our domestic brands is Haval H6, even if there are or that defects do not hinder the love of the Chinese people, the space is spacious and durable, giving people a feeling of being quite hard. But if you really want to encounter a harsh working environment and road conditions, ordinary home SUVs still have limits that it can't touch, so at this time it is time for the real tough guy-class model to play, that is, pickup trucks.
This commissioned test is a domestic pickup truck, if not in advance to know the model and price, it is estimated that even I, the old driver, will be confused, the JMC of the logo can't help but be reminiscent of GMC, the hard-core appearance gives people the visual sense of the Ford Raptor, which is also the biggest reason why the big brother bought this car, the value is passed and practical, the pulling cargo is convenient, it is not very assured about the car condition, after all, the second-hand pickup truck who will not know how the former owner will use it.
Pudding and my eldest brother got up early in the morning to go to the seller's exhibition hall, and at a glance, we saw a Fujiwara tofu shop logo on the side of the body, and we knew that it was a car that pulled over tofu. The seller's sales were very enthusiastic to welcome up, and the sales brother exchanged procedures to verify that this is the Jiangling Yuhu 7 2.4T 17 diesel two-wheel drive manual luxury version on the card in May 2018, the new car guidance price of 136,800 yuan, and now the seller's offer is 66,800, and the meterage is only 48,000 kilometers.
First of all, around the car to look at the next, the body has a lot of bruises and flaws, it seems that the former owner's driving skills are more general, obviously not as good as the neon country is also the little brother who sent tofu.
Next, take out the auxiliary equipment to detect the paint value, find that the cover paint value is normal, and combined with the edge of the cover can be judged that the cover is not painted repair.
The left side of the vehicle is then inspected: the paint values in the front fender and A-pillar positions are normal, and there is no spray paint repair. The doors are also normal, with no spray paint.
The overall test down, the paint state is still good, in addition to some visible flaws, only the left rear fender has sheet metal repair, which should be caused by small scraping caused by non-motorized vehicles such as battery cars.
After the appearance inspection, the next look at the cabin, since the appearance is not a big problem, is it better inside, it can be said, but as a detector can not be taken lightly, the detection of the tank frame and the front anti-collision beam are still in the original state, the texture has not moved.
The important points of the front longitudinal beam, shock absorber seat, fender beam and headlamp frame are also checked one by one, without any traces of repair or disassembly, combined with the solder joint and paint value can be determined to be the original state.
Next, carefully inspect the engine: there are no disassembly marks on the foot adhesive fixing screws and generators, no disassembly marks on the valve chamber cover fixing screws, and no disassembly on the intake manifold fixing screws. The only thing that can be complained about is that the leakage point is more obvious, if it is an open-minded owner, it can ignore it, and it will not affect it if it is opened.
Then test the battery life and the whole car oil, the battery has not yet reached the time of decommissioning, that is, the whole car oil should basically be replaced, and pudding I suggest that you buy a second-hand car is best to replace it after the end of the household, so that the car will be more worry-free.
After the cabin test, we opened the door to the interior part, which does not look tight, a look at it shocked me, this design style really has the taste of american pickup, pudding I have low education and less culture, can not say what high-level adjectives, simply put, this interior even if the steering wheel with GMC logo does not have a sense of separation. Of course, if you want to touch the porcelain GMC business star with my words, it is your fault.
Back to the testing, the seams and stitches also have the wild and uninhibited style of Lao Mei, there are some flaws on the door trim, but they are not obvious, which belongs to the range that individuals can accept, even if the buyer with obsessive-compulsive disorder goes back to deal with it himself.
Interior inspection in addition to see whether the degree of wear of the vehicle is consistent with the apparent mileage, but also more detailed feedback to see whether the car has written water or soaked water, seat fixing screws exist disassembly but the bottom of the seat skeleton and other metal parts are not rusted, combined with the actual situation should be carpeting caused by disassembly.
The steering column can see some rust, but it is not tight, because there is no rust removal and replacement of the gas pedal and brake pedal bracket at the bottom. It can be judged that the car can basically rule out the suspicion of a water soaking car.
Then pudding I connected the OBD to read the vehicle system without a fault code. The mileage data read may make it look a little weird, isn't that 1,000 kilometers less than the table? To be honest, no one dares to fully pack the ticket, including this car, the maintenance can not find the latest data, and the difference is not played, can only be judged by the degree of wear, the performance of the interior is not outrageous, the next look at the chassis.
After lifting the vehicle through the lift, I immediately checked whether the gearbox had leaked oil or repaired it, and I saw this leakage point at a glance, which was quite powerful. However, the gearbox pawls and fixing screws have no disassembly marks, indicating that they have not been dismantled and repaired.
You can clearly see through the picture that there is no disassembly mark on the engine body from under the chassis, and there is nothing abnormal about the oil pan.
At the same time, there are no disassembly marks on the fixing screws of the front and rear subframes, and there is no disassembly and maintenance of the steering machine. The front and rear shock swing arms have not been replaced, and the rubber sleeve has no aging cracking.
Test the wheel tire and brake pad brake disc and other components, found that the tires are the original tires, the wheel hub has some defects and scratches, the brake disc brake pad thickness is thick can be used normally. Combining the current car conditions can basically rule out the suspicion of large-scale meter adjustment.
After testing the chassis out of the repair shop, the car drove back to the showroom, to the big brother to report the detailed car condition after the big brother said that the appearance of sheet metal spray paint these are small things, is the price is still not very satisfied, pudding I gave the big brother's advice is that you can grind more with the seller, after all, this model for second-hand car dealers, at least is the "treasure of the town store" this level, the final amount of money can be traded who can not guess, ha ha.
According to the reason, the car of this Jiangling pickup truck is in such good condition, how to prepare it should be more exquisite, and strive to sell for a good price, but in fact, it is placed in the exhibition hall unchanged, looking like a willing person to be hooked. Pudding I think, this car is probably not actively withdrawn, but a customer when buying a car forcibly replaced, and then play imagination, I can even think of the boss every day to see this car heart-wrenching look, to know that every additional day in the showroom is a cost.
Well, that's it for today's test sharing. I am a used car inspection technician small pudding, we are testing the second-hand car, some wearing parts are the consumption of wear and tear in the daily use of the car is inevitable, can not be like a new car so to look, more is to pay attention to the car condition itself and the cost performance of the vehicle.
