Hello, hello everyone, the old driver of the used car has met with you again, I am the car inspector Dapeng, don't look at my tall appearance, the heart is actually as delicate as a needle. I am a used car inspector who has repaired a car, and I am also a car accident car dismissal division. Welcome to this issue of used car testing fun facts.
These two days the network rumors that Honda's high-end brand Acura is going to withdraw from the domestic market, dealers are clearing inventory, although the official has no official confirmation, but this trend should be clear! Just like the merger of FAW Mazda and Changan Mazda, the preparations for the possible exit are not yet ready, and the bullets have to fly for a while!
Although Acura has Honda endorsement, it has almost no sense of existence in luxury brands, and the second-tier echelon belongs to the last stream, and the sales volume is also the bottom! Especially after the cessation of the import car business and the car business, only two models on sale were CDX and RDX. Dapeng seemed to see the shadow of Renault at the beginning! And the only people who retain the deepest impression of Acura is probably the ridiculous passage of "King Chang'an"!
Poor sales do not mean that the car is not good, Honda has no black technology is first used in Acura, the old owners who have bought Acura also said that the car is good, easy to drive! For example, the MDX that Dapeng wants to test today, positioning medium and large SUV, can be said to be acura's brand surface, the shape is thick and textured, the interior material is solid, the 3.7 large-displacement engine plus full-time four-wheel drive, and the comprehensive strength is not worse than the X5 and Q7 of the era.
However, Acura's brand premium level is low, there are few after-sales maintenance outlets, and the pricing has not opened up the gap with BBA, and the most important thing is that marketing cannot keep up, resulting in MDX's sales being sluggish for a long time, and it will be discontinued in 2018. Acura has come to the step of exiting the market, what is the specific reason, in fact, can be glimpsed from MDX!
The customer who bought the car said that he had driven the same MDX of the unit before, which was big, large in space, energetic, high-speed and stable, and it was very safe to drive it, which was his favorite dish! And just when the family was planning to buy a second car, they wanted to try the original feeling. Okay, let's start moving bricks today! Start with the basic information about the vehicle:
Model year: 2010 3.7 Standard Deluxe Sport
Factory time: 2010-06
Meter mileage: 131173KM
Manufacturer guidance: 87.00 million
Car dealer quotation: 118,000
The appearance is good, the paint surface is also relatively shiny under the sun, but the scratching of the rear bumper and the right rearview mirror position is somewhat destructive of the atmosphere, the light shell above the rearview mirror is cracked, fortunately, the rain in winter is not a lot, if it is summer, it is estimated that the water will fog up! After all, the car has been twelve years old, and it is estimated that the owner and the car dealer are too lazy to clean up!
From the front of the car all the way to the left rear door is the original paint, the left rear fender suddenly appeared a high paint thickness, sheet metal scraping putty spray paint, even without the paint film instrument can obviously see the orange peel pattern, this is still a good judgment, should be scratched caused.
The trunk lid is original paint again, and after turning to the right, it is a bit exciting! The right rear fender and the right rear door are adjacent to each other with a relatively heavy sheet metal scraper putty repair, and Xiao Bai can also see that this is caused by the same scratch.
Open the car door, check the inner door frame has sheet metal spray paint, the thickness of the paint surface is not high, it is estimated that there is a slight deformation when scraping. However, the fact that the door is not disassembled and assembled indicates that the door has not been replaced and the scratching is not serious.
The right front door also has sheet metal, the problem is not big; the right front fender is directly replaced, the paint thickness is significantly lower, and the fixing screws of the fender are also disassembled, and the inside of the fender is also attached to the sub-factory label through the gap, and the original factory will not have this kind of thing.
Although the front windshield and the right front door glass can not see the manufacturing date, the production logo is inconsistent with other glasses, and the inner rubber line is not uniform and natural, indicating that the two pieces of glass are replaced, combined with the surrounding paint surfaces such as A-pillars on both sides, it should not be the replacement caused by the accident.
Lift the hood, you can see this 3.7L V6 all-aluminum VTEC engine, it is acura's largest displacement engine, the maximum horsepower of 309 horses, peak torque of 370 Nm, matching 6AT gearbox, built in accordance with the Style of American cars, driving up and The Accord CRV is not a feeling at all.
The fixing screws of the water tank frame are removed, and over time, the dismantling and installation marks of the screws are not very clear, but the radiator fan is still the original part, and there is no damage to replace.
The two headlights can not see the manufacturing date, but the fixing screws have not been moved, and the headlight frame has not been deformed, and it seems that the headlights are also original. This can also show that there is a high probability that there is no particularly serious impact accident in the front part of the car, otherwise these components will not run away.
Because the right front fender has been replaced, we focus on the skeleton structure on the right side of the cabin, the surface of the fender beam is naturally smooth, there is no sheet metal shaping spray paint and cutting welding marks, the solder joint is still the original factory, and the shock absorber package does not have a similar situation, so the right side of the injury is not large.
The cover plate on the engine is fixed by screws, the car dealer can't see people for the time being, Dapeng did not take the risk of removing it, in case something is broken, it will be torn off! From the bottom to observe the side of the valve chamber cover, there is no trace of disassembly and repair and oil leakage, but the dust is relatively large!
The intake manifold on the side has not moved, the claws have been replaced, the year and the number of kilometers are not small, and the normal maintenance is just that. You can't see it anywhere else, it's okay, you can see more from the bottom when you put it on the shelves later.
The oil is fine, only the oil is relatively dirty, after starting to do a small maintenance, replace the oil filter! The battery is currently delinquent, after charging for a period of time, you need to check it again to see the voltage life, so as not to delay the future use of the car.
The sun is relatively strong, the photos of the interior are dark, but vaguely you can still see the design shape, the luxury cars of more than ten years ago are basically like this, the peach wood decoration is the mainstay, there is no large screen of the era, that is, to the degree of tightness of the button knob to win!
The version of the seat is well preserved, but the edge and middle parts of the side of the car are collapsed and pleated, according to more than 130,000 kilometers, this degree of wear is not bad, but the maintenance record betrays it!
From the maintenance we found in the background, we can see that in February 2018, it has been driven nearly 180,000 kilometers, and now it has been four years, according to the previous frequency of use, it is speculated that the actual mileage of 250,000 is not too much! Tune the meter and don't run again, steady!
Send the maintenance records to the customer, and Dapeng then looks at the interior! Next, the clues of the interior water inlet were found, the seat skeleton was rusty, and the bottom carpet had water stains and silt, but Dapeng ruled out the situation of soaking water, after all, the instrument panel, cigarette lighter, steering pipe column These places are normal, the height of the water intake should not be high, at most half of the seats!
When checking the seat belt, the customer called over, asked about the meter, Dapeng incidentally said the current car condition, the customer paused for two seconds, saying that since the car is not in good condition, he does not want this car, think it is not worth spending this money, and then the car dealer is a difficult person, he does not want to talk to the car dealer about the price or something.
All right! The customers did not buy, Dapeng I also retreated in time! So how much money is more appropriate for such a car condition? At present, the second-hand car market in the same year is not stable enough, the car condition can be better to 120,000, the difference of 90,000, today's car itself is quoted in the normal range is high, the car dealer still has room to reduce prices, can talk about less than 110,000 is a victory! In addition, it can also be seen from the market that Acura does not maintain much value, and the Q7 and X5 at the same price in the same year are still maintained at the level of 1450,000.
After a long time of seeing the car has not been bought, the customer should be quite disappointed, the confidence in the second-hand car has been hit, but this is the real situation of the current second-hand car market, most cars can not be as you wish, there will always be some flaws and defects, so when deciding to buy a second-hand car, you must correct the mentality, reduce psychological expectations, and prepare for the worst, so that the probability of successfully buying a car is relatively large!
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!
