Hello, hello everyone ~ the old driver of the car inspector has met with you again, I am a used car inspector Dongzi. I used to be an auto mechanic, I thought I was still excellent, helpless in the car repair industry for 7 or 8 years has not been able to find a girlfriend, so I resolutely changed careers to the car inspector, hoping to get better. Today to share with you a particularly rare Korean top luxury car, many people may not have heard of its name - Genesis.
Genesis is a high-end model under the Korean car company Hyundai, and later became a Korean high-end brand independently, but it did not mix well in China, so it did not sell for a few years and then withdrew from the domestic market. However, it has now changed its name to Genissy and re-entered the domestic market, ready to make a comeback. The car is a good car, but compared with the first-line luxury brand Mercedes-Benz BMW Audi, the Korean car does not have much premium ability at all, so now it can only be regarded as a niche brand, and the future is unknown.
However, there is still no shortage of people who are uniquely in love with Genesis, and today our customer big brother especially likes Genesis and is looking for the source of this car nationwide. But because the new car sold so badly, it is basically an out-of-print model now, and it is too difficult to find its used car, especially if the car is in good condition. But the effort pays off, the final customer big brother is in the area I am responsible for testing found a car, the seller has sent him maintenance and insurance records, he himself looked at the record is no problem, and according to the seller on several faces spray paint. However, for the sake of safety, the customer's big brother is ready to come to pick up the car and ask us to check the car together.
Coming to the scene, you can see that the aura of this car is still very sufficient, the logo is still a bit of Bentley feeling, for people who do not know much about cars, once you see it, you must feel that there is an aura of a Million Luxury car. However, from the rear right position, there is still a bit of a shadow of a modern car, and I personally feel a bit like Sonata. Well, less gossip, let's start today's testing session, first of all, look at the basic information of the car.
Vehicle Year: 2015 Hyundai Genesis 3.0GDI 4WD Ultimate Edition
Factory date: September 2014
Date of registration: February 2015
Meter mileage: 50,000 km
New car guide price: 558,000
Seller quote: 185,000
The data I can check this car is that the new car landed about 520,000 that year, and now it has been open for 7 years, losing 340,000, and selling 185,000 is still relatively cost-effective. However, according to the customer's big brother, this price is a little more expensive than other car sources he saw before, because the number of kilometers is small, and the seller guarantees that the car is in good condition, so he came to try it.
The old rule, or check the appearance first, you can see that the gap in the front bumper is not right, and there have been traces of disassembly spray paint; although the production date of the front windshield cannot be seen, but from the inside to open the ceiling to check that the rubber line is the original factory, and most of the replaced glass can see the production date. There is no obvious repair of the appearance in other places, so take out the professional equipment to see the specific situation of the paint surface.
You can see that the left front fenders are painted; the engine cover has no repair marks; the left front door is painted and scratched; and the left rear door is not a problem.
Then the whole car was inspected in a circle of paint, only to find that the trunk lid was painted; the right front door was painted; the right front fender was painted; and the rear bumper was painted. However, none of the surfaces of the whole car have been made of sheet metal, which is also rare among the used cars with an age of 7 cars, and some faces have not been repaired in order to retain the original paint with a little small scratch, which depends on whether the buyer does not mind. However, on the whole, this paint is quite good, let's take a look at the engine compartment.
Open the cover, remove the plastic trim of the front tank frame, you can see that the engine layout of the V6 is still relatively full, this Genesis is equipped with a V6 naturally aspirated engine, the maximum horsepower is 257, the maximum torque is 304N·m, matching the 8AT gearbox, 8.6 seconds of acceleration from 100 kilometers. Although it is 6 cylinders, this power level is actually similar to the current 2.0T, but the V6 wins in the smooth well, and there is the stability brought by the 6 cylinders and self-priming. Here to tell you, in general, 6-cylinder and 8-cylinder machines, compared to 4-cylinder 3-cylinder machines, the stability will be much better, so want to consider large-displacement self-priming old car friends, you can not worry about the engine problem, the premise is self-priming engine Oh.
Cabin part, Dongzi I first checked the anti-collision beam screws from the gap in the net, and did not find any traces of disassembly; the front longitudinal beam was no problem from above, in fact, the anti-collision beam was not disassembled, and the body only made paint without sheet metal can already explain a lot, but the process we should take can still not be saved, and everything is afraid of a case.
Then check that the fixing screws of the water tank frame and headlights have no screw marks, which can further rule out the suspicion of accidents in the front of the car. Let's take a look at the engine.
From the cabin, it can be observed that there is no disassembly mark of the engine valve compartment cover, and there is no obvious oil leakage and oil leakage; the intake manifold screw has signs of being screwed, but when you turn your head to look at it, you can understand that the intake manifold blocks the ignition coil, so it is most likely to be the intake manifold that is removed by the spark plug. Since it is a longitudinal engine, the remaining engine feet and gearbox have to be checked from the chassis. As far as the current inspection is still very good, let's take a look at how the interior is.
Open the door and sit in the cab, you can see that the novelty of the interior of this modern Genesis is still very good, and after all, it is a luxury car of more than 500,000 yuan, and the interior materials are still very advanced, that is, the design is a little outdated, after all, it is a product of 7 years ago. The new Geniseith, the interior has improved a lot, the sense of luxury is much higher, and I don't know if The Genises will follow in the footsteps of Genesis. Say it far, and take a look at the details of the interior right away.
You can see that the left front interior panel is very good in color, and there is basically no wear. Why do we check this place? Because the left front side is used as the driver's seat, the buttons on the top are pressed more, so if it is a meter adjustment, it will be easier to see, of course, this is only as a judgment point, but also according to other places to make a comprehensive judgment.
Then let's take a look at the wear and tear of the main driver's seat, basically can't see that there is obvious wear, but there are some slight folds on the sides of the leather seat, which is normal. Dongzi I have tested one or two new Audi A6L before, only opened more than 20,000 kilometers, the leather wear on both sides of the driver's seat is more obvious than this, because the A6L seat is more wrapped, so it is easier to wear. However, I personally feel that the seat of this Genesis should be more comfortable to sit on.
Next, I checked that the seat screws had no disassembly marks, no traces of renovation and painting, only slight rust, and the seat frame was also slightly rusty, but it did not look like it was caused by blisters, it may be caused by the car wash or the wet parking environment.
In order to make sure that it is not a water bubble truck, I then checked the steering pipe column, fuse box, cigarette lighter and surrounding carpet, and everyone can see that there is no abnormal rust and sediment traces of blisters, so it can basically rule out the existence of blisters in the vehicle.
Then I tried the vehicle's features, and they were all good except for the cup holder on the center armrest of the rear seat that didn't open. And to my surprise, the rear seats of this car have seat ventilation and heating functions! The sense of luxury is full.
The bottom plate of the trunk is as smooth as new, with no signs of deformation repair and cutting replacement, nor rust of sediment and iron parts.
Then read the data of the car computer OBD, you can see that the various electronic modules are normal, there is no fault code, or very good ode, then it is time to check the chassis below.
The chassis part still looks at the condition of the engine first, and you can see that the engine foot screws are not disassembled; the engine oil pan has no disassembly and oil leakage marks. Basically, it can be ruled out that the engine is suspected of hoisting and decomposition.
Then there is the gearbox section, which can be seen that the gearbox pawls are not disassembled; the gearbox housing has no oil leakage and disassembly marks; and the screws at the engine transmission connection have no disassembly marks. The state of the gearbox is also just now!
Then I checked that the four suspension parts of the whole car did not have any traces of disassembly and oil leakage aging and damage, and the current state is also very good.
There is also no problem with checking the rear longitudinal beams on both sides of the bottom, further excluding the suspicion of serious rear-end accidents in the parking space. The car detected that it was basically over here, the overall condition of the car for 7 years, is very good, less kilometers, less appearance repair and are simple painting, the engine gearbox and chassis are in good condition, and the seller's description is consistent.
Immediately I told the customer brother about the detected situation, and he laughed on the spot, expressing great satisfaction and arranging to pick up the car immediately! Then there is nothing for me behind, pack up the equipment, and the customer big brother said goodbye to me and left, I wish the big brother a happy car!
Afterwards, out of curiosity, I also searched for the same Hyundai Genesis quotation on the Internet and found that there was really no car source! This car is really a rare object, and today's car is really in good condition, it is indeed unattainable. Do you think it's worth spending 180,000 to buy this Genesis?
Well, today's test case sharing ends here, thank you for reading!
