The second-hand car market is very deep, and people who do not understand cars can easily start, and they are afraid of buying water soaking cars and accident cars. Last year, many cities in the mainland suffered heavy rain, and a large number of water soaking vehicles flowed into the second-hand car market, can these water soaking vehicles be bought in the end?
Some car owners do not care about the performance of the vehicle after being soaked in water, as long as the vehicle can run normally after repair, has there been any problem with soaking water? A car owner in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, saw a Volkswagen Phaeton in the second-hand car market, the top version is equipped with a W-type 12-cylinder engine, and the vehicle is priced at only 150,000.
Although this Volkswagen Phaeton is 10 years old, it is in good condition on the whole. The top version of the Volkswagen Phaeton was sold at least 1.2 million that year, and this car is only selling for 150,000 today, how can it be so cheap? The car dealer told Mr. Liu that the car had suffered from water soaking, so he sold it at a reduced price.
Mr. Liu heard his friend say that it is best not to buy a water soaking car, but the price of this Volkswagen Phaeton is so cheap, Mr. Liu is very impressed. Mr. Liu probably checked the condition of the car, and he found that although Volkswagen Phaeton had soaked in water, the water was not serious, and the rain only passed the chassis of the car, which should not cause damage to the engine.
In the end, Mr. Liu still spent 150,000 yuan to buy the Volkswagen Phaeton, and after buying the car, he sent the car to a repair shop. Friends heard that Mr. Liu spent 150,000 yuan to buy a water soaking car, they all said that he bought a loss, as long as the vehicle will appear irreversible damage after soaking water, maintenance will cost a sum of money, how to calculate is a loss of money.
Mr. Liu sent the car to the repair shop, the repairman opened the hood to check it, although the vehicle was soaked in water, but the water was not serious, and the car's engine and gearbox were intact. The repairman told Mr. Liu that congratulations on picking up the treasure, this Phaeton is just the interior of the water, tens of thousands of dollars can be repaired.
Mr. Liu was particularly surprised, the true value of this 150,000 flowers, although this car has been soaked in water, but the difficulty of repair is low, repair is not particularly big hidden danger, Mr. Liu feels that his mood is happier than winning the lottery.
Can I buy a water soaking car in the end?
The price of the soaking water car is cheap, with great temptation, whether you can buy it mainly depends on the price of the soaking water truck and the water soaking situation. There are three main types of soaking water vehicles on the market, cars with rainwater flooding tires, cars with rainwater flooding the center console, and cars with rainwater flooding the roof.
The degree of immersion of vehicles is different, the difficulty of repair is different, and the value is also different. If the rain only passes through the tires of the car, indicating that the chassis and interior of the car are blistered, this kind of soaked water car is less difficult to repair, and generally does not leave any sequelae after repair, and this type of car is the most valuable.
If the rain has passed through the car's center console, it means that the car's circuit system and engine have been damaged. This kind of car is more laborious to maintain, the circuit system is intricate, and there may be safety hazards after repair, and it is not recommended to buy such cars.
If the rain is completely above the roof, this kind of water soaking car should not be bought. This kind of water-soaking car paint will rust, the engine block is particularly difficult to repair after entering the water, the circuit system is damaged by rainwater and cannot be completely repaired, and the silt accumulation in the passenger compartment is not cleaned up well and will be moldy and smelly.
All in all, the water soaking car can be bought, but before purchasing, you must understand the condition of the water soaking car and the maintenance cost, and it is often easy to suffer big losses.
