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 thought I was still good, but I couldn't find a girlfriend after 5 to 6 years of working in a car inspector' house! Dear old irons, do you have any sisters and sisters in the family, you can introduce it to me!
Fighting a war is really not a good thing, so that the oil prices in our country have risen, it is said that in a few days it will rise, and No. 92 gasoline will enter the 9 yuan era! Alas, Dongzi really can't afford to drive a fuel car, do you want to go to the whole Hongguang MINI, so as to find a girlfriend? What is more worrying is that there are now many fewer people buying cars, and Dongzi has also taken on a lot less work! This damn war!
However, the level of oil prices is not a matter for rich people, and today's customers do not care about the problem of oil prices at all, to see what car he wants to buy? 3.6L displacement American muscle car, Dodge Challenger! As we all know, the United States oil prices are cheap, the highway is in all directions, so the American car pursues large displacement, large power, fuel consumption is also high, the Buick LaCrosse is the famous oil tiger! And the performance-focused muscle sports car is not to mention! So having money is the only wayward!
Friends who have watched the Fast and Furious movie should be familiar with this car, Donald's favorite car is a more violent version of Hellcat, fans buy this car should be the worship of Donald's free shipping! Although it is only the basic 3.6L SXT model, this car is also particularly niche, because it has never been officially introduced, either parallel imports, or large trade cars, the amount of ownership itself is not large, and there is no source of cars on major used car platforms at present.
So Dongzi must have given the detection meticulously! Although the customer is not on the scene, the car dealer is also enthusiastic about Dongzi, but we can't fool things!
Model year: Dodge Challenger 3.6L SXT parallel import
Factory Date: 2018-11
Date of play: 2019-08
Meter mileage: 30161KM
New car price: 400,000
Car dealer quotation: 265,800
The front bumper has black spots left by spray paint, and there are two scratch marks in the right corner, which have hurt the paint to the end, if you mind, you need to repair the paint!
The front cover paint surface is thick, but after careful inspection, it is confirmed that there is no secondary spray paint, that is, the original car paint, and the American car can be thicker than the Japanese car!
The year of manufacture of the front retainer is 2021, which lags behind the final assembly time of the vehicle, so it is replaced later. Check that the A-pillar, roof and other surroundings are still the original paint, then the probability is that the stones on the road collapsed, and it is not ruled out that pedestrians are hit and roll on the front gear glass, and then look down!
The paint thickness of the left door has reached more than 1000 μm, which is the reason for the sheet metal scraping putty spray paint! There must have been scratches here!
Pull the car door, see the door screw moved, changed? However, the observation of the door lock screw is the original factory appearance, so it is judged that the door has been scratched and squeezed after the displacement occurred, and the screw is removed to adjust the gap, and the door is not replaced.
There are also left rear fenders, right rear fenders, right doors and rear bumpers in the four positions of the spray paint, but did not hurt the body structure, the problem is not big, used cars, small bumps can not be avoided!
The 3.6L engine with the oil is coming, the maximum power is 309 horsepower, the peak torque is 336 Nm, matching the 8AT transmission, compared to the 2.3T Ford Mustang and the 2.0T Chevrolet Camaro, the challenger's 3.6L engine is no longer superior in both technology and power, but american muscle cars are born to be handsome and not to be fast on the track. The sound of the V6 is more pleasant than that of the four cylinders anyway!
First look at the front tank frame and the front anti-collision beam, both sides of the screws have not moved, and the parts themselves are well preserved, which means that there has been no major accident at the front of the car, after all, the front of these components need to withstand the damage of the impact!
The production date of the two headlights can be right, or the original parts, the surface is not damaged and cracked, which can show that there is no collision accident at the front of the car, after all, the headlights are a very fragile place in the front of the car.
The fender beams on both sides also have no accident maintenance features, in fact, according to the previous paint test can foresee this situation, after all, the accident impact is from the outside to the inside, the outside paint is good, how can the inside be injured?
To check the engine, at present this car has been driving for three years and thirty thousand kilometers, which is the best stage of the engine state, and there is no accident shock, what can be the problem? Looked at the valve compartment cover to confirm that there was no oil leakage and no maintenance marks!
The main accessories such as intake exhaust and pawls are also original factory appearances, and it is impossible to hoist the engine!
But the timing side cover is still an untimely oil seepage! Car owners often drive violently? At present, the oil leakage is not serious, it can be temporarily ignored, and it is used for later observation!
Because this car is a longitudinal engine, you can see the gearbox from the bottom, we will continue to check the cabin oil and water and battery, there is no accident, the condition is good.
Take a look at the interior, now the Challenger's interior design is a bit similar to Jeep and Fiat, as Dodge followed Chrysler throughout the merger into the FCA Group. Compared with the roughness of traditional American muscle cars, this interior has been considered to be a lot more exquisite, and there is automatic air conditioning and central control screen, and the configuration is also much richer.
There is no accident at the front of the car, and the main and auxiliary airbags and seat belts are no problems, which are the original state.
Looking at this brand new smooth directional pipe column, how can the vehicle be soaked in water? Although the seat frame has a layer of floating rust, but this is normal, not only this car has, mustang Mustang also has, mainly because the sea comes, the humidity and salt in the air are large, there are some floating rust is inevitable.
But the interior is not particularly perfect, the rear seat is burned by the cigarette butt hole, the co-driver also has a smoke scar, it seems that the owner has a partner or good buddy who loves to smoke! Some friends may have doubts, can the back of this car be human? Dongzi tells you that don't look at this is a two-door sports car, but its length is almost the same as the Audi A6L, and it is wider than the latter, which is exactly the size of an executive-class luxury car, so the rear seat is Lilisoso.
In the car shop of the maintenance center on the lift, so far, the car condition is still relatively good, can not start, it depends on the chassis test results!
The front and rear suspensions have not been modified, and the original factory has not moved. There is no sign of oil leakage at the current shock absorption!
There is no abnormal condition under the engine, and the oil pan and rear-end bolts are all original! There is no trace of repair and disassembly!
The gearbox is also all right!
The rear anti-collision beam and the rear longitudinal beam are also normal, and the chassis is perfect!
In addition to a few lacquering, the challenger's car is in excellent condition! Putting the car down, Dongzi then reported the test results of the whole car to the customer, and the customer said that he would wait for the report to come out and then decide whether to buy it according to the situation. What does this mean? Don't believe Dongzi? I have just said that there is no big problem, so why do you still insist on reporting? Forget it, we don't mind, we have done our part with due diligence, and the situation of having customers asking inspectors from two institutions at the same time is not unseen, standing in their position, there is nothing wrong with being cautious.
Before leaving, the car dealer and Dongzi inquired about the customer's intention to buy a car, Dongzi told him the truth that the customer wanted to read the report, and then the car dealer complained to Dongzi that the car was smashed in his hand, recovered last year, put for half a year no one to want, after the Spring Festival on the extra year of car age, so now lost tens of thousands! Dongzi sympathetically said that less loss should win! This car is too unpopular, the audience is small, and it will be a long lesson when it is received in the future! The car dealer waved his hand and said that he would not accept this kind of car in the future!
I don't know if what the car dealer said is true or not, if it is true, then his luck is also too unlucky! Niche unpopular cars are a double-edged sword, when they earn more, when they lose more, they also lose more, depending on the fate to the point! This is all because the niche car depreciated quickly, this challenger new car to buy down to 400,000 +, three years on the drop of more than 40%, last year can also sell more than 300,000, this year on 260,000, a year a market, so the niche car whether to buy or sell, if not particularly like, be cautious ah!
Well, today's test sharing is here, I am a used car inspection technician in the car inspector. Like it, spray it 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!
Other fare oil, this car costs life, 40,000 pieces of Nissan Tianlai 2.5L, dare to buy?
