Hello everyone! I'm a superstar of car inspectors and it's a pleasure to meet you! In this issue, I will share many interesting facts about used car testing. I was a hard-pressed Jaguar Land Rover specialist technician and now a used car inspection technician with an optimistic view of cars. I believe in saying less and doing more, so let's take a look at today's used cars!
What is the worst luxury car in the network wind evaluation? Lexus ES200 dares to say first, I guess no one dares to call it second! Whether it is Douyin Kuaishou, or headlines and WeChat circle of friends, as long as it is sprayed as soon as it appears, it is scolded as soon as it appears, and the tweets of car reviewers are also ridiculed and ridiculed by netizens, of course, there are many people who stand up to fight with it and maintain the reputation of this car, but overall there are still many negative reviews.
But the network is after all virtual, can not reflect the actual situation in life, the reality of the ES200 is not worried about selling, but is sprayed the more fierce sales will be higher! Why? In fact, rational adults can see the essence through the phenomenon, since so many people have chosen this car, then it must have the advantage of impressing people, in addition to the naked eye can see the design and can personally experience the comfortable interior, there are more critical.
That is, it achieves the ultimate quality control, and the high retention rate derived from it. Good quality control means that the car is not easy to break, and it is not necessary to repair the car, which can save a lot of money and time; the high retention rate is to reduce the loss of their own property, which is related to the economic interests of the owner! To sum up, ES200 is a car that can save money and trouble for car owners, and it is very comfortable to drive, so why not buy such a car?
However, the superstar needs to clarify that the value preservation is not absolute, or it depends on the specific car condition, to cherish the car more, to protect the car, the car can be more value-preserving; if it hits a large truck, or drives into the river, then the best quality control is also cool, it will not be worth it at all, and it will be successful to sell the car smoothly. For example, the following ES200, only sold 240,000 in two years, while the normal market is 290,000, what happened to it?
Look at this site, on the grass behind the workshop of an auto repair plant, it is not a good sale at a glance, and it is the owner who puts it here for consignment, on this environment, it is impossible to say that it is not cheap to sell! Below is the big screen of the superstar to see the detection details!
Vehicle Model: 2020 200 Excellence Edition
Factory Date: 2020-01
Meter mileage: 19264KM
Manufacturer guidance: 290,000
Owner quote: 24.00 million
The front bumper is painted throughout, there are burrs and paint mist at the edges of each gap, and then look at the fixing screws that have been removed, then the front bar is most likely replaced! Changing the front bar means that there is a collision at the front of the car, and we have to be careful whether there is any major damage inside.
Although the two headlights are not marked with production dates, the screws are obviously moved, it is possible to install the front bumper, adjust the spacing, or it is possible to directly change the headlights!
Then I looked at the screws of the anti-collision beam, which were not moved in the original form, or the original factory. The above tank frame and water tank are also no problem, these components are the main stress points of the previous accident, they are good, indicating that the front collision is not large.
Below, in order from left to right, look at the left front fender screws and the inner fender beam and shock absorption tower base, this side is normal, there is no collision deformation and sheet metal scraping and cutting and glue marks.
The paint on the left is not ideal, the front and rear fenders, rear doors and A pillar spray paint, C pillar sheet metal scraping ash spray paint, scratching places are really a lot, this car has only driven less than 20,000 kilometers, the owner's driving skills dare not compliment ah! But this is still a small problem, and the detection in the back is even more exciting!
The trunk cover also has a small sheet metal, open the back cover to observe that the screws have been removed, will it be replaced? These two clues alone cannot give an accurate conclusion, so let's move on. The left water guide tank also has sheet metal, the degree of repair is not too serious, but it is enough to squeeze the rear tail light, and the tail light should not run away!
Look inside, the left border of this trunk is deformed, there is no maintenance treatment, maybe the master feels that it will not affect the use of it! Further inside, the left rear fender lining made of iron is rusty? What's going on, take a closer look, it turned out to be welded, but the area of welding is not large, indicating that the deformation is not serious.
The rear panel is also welded, and the area is not small, but it is not the left side, but close to the right! The right side also hit?
The right sink has the same sheet metal scraping ash spray paint as the left, and the taillight screws also have disassembly marks.
The right rear fender is spray painted, but the thickness of the paint surface is low, and it should be thicker under normal circumstances, so the superstar opened the door rubber strip decorative board and found that the solder joint here was not right, and there were traces of post-welding. Cut the fenders? Then the back panel welding and the sheet metal of the water guide tank just now can be reasonably explained! Cut the body, this RS200 proper accident car! But that's not all, there's more to come!
The thickness of the paint on the right rear door looks normal, but the hinge screws and lock blocks have been removed, and after many judgments by the superstar, this door has been replaced!
The paint on the right B-pillar is normal, but when it reaches the lower threshold, it is wrong again, and a cutting solder joint is checked.
Although the right front door was demolished, it was not replaced, only sheet metal spray paint was done!
If you just think that the right A-pillar is spray painted, it is wrong, because the solder joint inside is not original, and this A-pillar is also moved!
Taking into account all the circumstances, the superstar carefully explored and outlined a maintenance route map, the right A column C column cut, B pillar overall replacement! This is the right side suffered a serious impact, the body frame is damaged, and then replaced the right side of the small half of the body skeleton ah! If you hit this right side again, most of them will have to fall apart! Major accident car! Can't turn over!
There is no big problem in the front, the engine is not hoisted and repaired, and there is no oil leakage, that is, there are traces of dismantling of the exhaust pipe in the back.
The interior is still quite new, but it's a pity! The accident on the right, the front airbag should not be bombed, and the side airbag cannot escape!
The passenger seat is disassembled, it may be convenient for maintenance, or it may be that the accident intrusion is relatively deep, and the seat is broken, which is terrible!
The dashboard is also disassembled and disassembled, for the same reason as the co-pilot seat!
When the superstar hung up the gear test, it was actually found that the gear handle was relatively loose and could swing left and right, which was definitely not normal!
When preparing to go to the chassis, the person in charge of the auto repair plant asked the superstar to ask the customer whether to buy or not, and if he did not buy, he did not have to bother. This is not the attitude of selling cars! It is estimated that I know that this car is not good, and it is useless to see the chassis!
As a result, there was no surprise, and the customer was dissuaded by this terrible car condition! People who take life for money are still a minority, even if the price is fragrant, its safety has been greatly reduced, many years of old drivers have to weigh whether to start, not to mention the price of 240,000, for ordinary people is still a big expense, if the family buys this one, or cautious and cautious!
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!
