Now the development of the domestic second-hand car market is booming, and the overall trading volume is very large. Many young people think that used cars are cheap and cost-effective when they buy a car, and may buy a used car. The used car industry is mixed, from high-quality boutique cars to accident cars forged into boutique cars.
Mr. Liu of Changsha, Hunan Province, saw an Audi S6 in the second-hand car market, and the dealer told him that he only had the condition and photos of the vehicle, which was in Liaoning. The Audi S6 is priced at 330,000, and the dealer promised that the vehicle had not been soaked in water, nor had there been any major accidents, only normal repainting and maintenance.
Mr. Liu thought that it was very cost-effective to buy a second-hand Audi S6 for 330,000 yuan, so he booked a car at the dealer, and then the dealer went to Liaoning to help him pick up the car and go through the transfer procedures. Mr. Liu's car was bought in December 2020, the dealer promised it was in good condition, and he did not conduct additional inspections.
Recently, Mr. Liu planned to sell the car, and a buyer sent the vehicle to be identified, only to find that the car was a total loss car, and 99 maintenance records were found. Mr. Liu took a look at the vehicle maintenance traces, and he found that all the parts of the car had been repaired, and there was a major traffic accident in 2019, and the insurance paid 280,000 yuan.
When Mr. Liu bought the car, the dealer promised that the car had not been involved in a traffic accident, and now the vehicle found 99 maintenance records, and Mr. Liu found the dealer store and asked the other party to be responsible. Mr. Liu's car was bought in December 2022, and now it is found that there is an insurance claim record of 280,000 yuan in 2019, indicating that the car is not a boutique car at all.
The explanation given by the dealer is that there was indeed no major accident in the vehicle at that time, and this insurance record may be that the insurance company grafted the accident record of another car to the car. Since the car has been sold for more than a year, the dealer is only willing to recycle the vehicle for 260,000.
Mr. Liu took out the contract signed with the dealer when he bought the car, and the contract was clearly written, and the dealer promised to check the condition of the car and determine that the vehicle had no major accidents, fire and water. Now it is found that the vehicle has had a serious traffic accident, indicating that the dealer is suspected of sales fraud when selling the car.
Mr. Liu said that the car had only been bought for more than a year, the price of 260,000 recycled vehicles was too low, and the car had only been open for one year and lost 70,000 yuan, and he had lost too much. Mr. Liu does not ask the dealer to refund 1 to 3, he only hopes that the other party can compensate 330,000 for the purchase of the car, and he will no longer pursue legal responsibility. At present, the dealer and Mr. Liu have not reached an agreement, and the two sides are still negotiating.
Editor's Comments:
This second-hand Audi S6 seems to be in good condition, but it has actually had a serious traffic accident, which is really scary to think about. In 2019, this car had a major traffic accident, and the insurance compensation of 280,000 yuan showed that the engine and gearbox had all been overhauled, and Mr. Liu had no traffic accidents during the driving process, which could only indicate good luck.
The waters of the second-hand car market are very deep, if you want to buy a second-hand car, you must find a knowledgeable friend to help choose. Before buying a car, the owner is best to find a professional to help identify the condition of the second-hand car, do not believe the dealer's promise of no accidents, no soaking water. After buying a car, it is difficult for consumers to defend their rights, so they must see clearly before buying a car.
