Hello, hello everyone, the old driver of the car inspector has met with you again, I am the used car inspector Dongzi. I used to be an auto mechanic, I thought I was still good, but I couldn't find a girlfriend after 5 to 6 years of working in a car inspector' house! Dear old irons, do you have any sisters and sisters in the family, you can introduce it to me!
Dongzi today to share with you a used car in particularly miserable condition, how tragic is it? The angry buyer guy directly blacked out the owner of the car dealership and never wanted to deal with it again. The protagonist is the above Toyota RAV4 Rongfang, 16 2.0L two-wheel drive comfort version, september 2016 factory, the same month registration on the card, the table shows a little more than 90,000 kilometers, the original new car landed about 190,000, and now the car dealer offers 80,000 5.
A look at the color of this car is quite special, relatively rare, as a representative of the family car, RAV4 chose this blue appears to be somewhat childish and frivolous, not so caring for the family. In addition, the offer of car dealers is too low, the market price of 16 models 2.0 is generally 130,000-140,000, and the car dealers directly pull down 50,000 as much, in addition to the color factor, the car condition is the main reason. But a very low price can also attract a lot of people to come over, the figure is cheap, there are always such people, not in the minority!
The buyer guy was lured by this ultra-low price, he was a foreigner, bought a car and was ready to go out for a self-driving trip during the May Day holiday. The owner of the car dealer told the boy that the car was flawed, and the rear rear was rear-ended! But it does not affect the opening! The guy will be suspicious, and when he looked up the experience of the second-hand car pit on the mobile phone, he saw the post of our car inspector! So he immediately called us to help him check the car.
After receiving the task, Dongzi also hurried over from the field, and after a brief understanding of the situation, he began to move bricks!
Model year: 2016 2.0L CVT two-wheel drive comfort version
Factory Date: 2016-09
Meter mileage: 91072KM
Manufacturer guidance: 197,800
Car dealer quote: 85,000
I lifted the front cover when I came up, and the state inside the engine compartment looked ok!
The line of sight goes straight to the front longitudinal beam, looking no problem, or straight, the collapse hole is also the original factory appearance, the whole has no bending deformation sheet metal cutting glue maintenance traces.
However, the screws of the front anti-collision beam have the disassembly marks of twisting and dropping the paint, can there be a small rear-end in front of it?
Observing the corners under the frame of the water tank, traces of re-firing welding repair were found, it seems that there was indeed a collision in front of the front of the car, and the front mouth set should not have run! Although the longitudinal beam was not injured, this non-removable water tank frame is also part of the car body, and the damaged sintering can also be defined as a national standard accident car.
The cooling fan was produced in 2017, which is a year later than the whole vehicle, so it is replaced later. Front bumper, headlights. Needless to say, china net!
Looking at the engine, first of all, the pawl remains in its original state, and the pawl connects the engine and the frame together to prevent the engine from shaking loosely. The pawls did not move, and the engine had no possibility of hoisting and overhauling.
The valve chamber cover, side cover, intake and exhaust air have not moved, and there is no oil leakage around the cylinder block. Six years of 90,000 kilometers of use frequency, Toyota engine or teenagers!
However, when I unscrewed the oil cover, I saw that there was a lot of grease inside, one lump after another! Dongzi has seen a Tianlai that has not changed the oil for two years before, is this also like this, is this RAV4 also suffered the fate of Yongyang? Of course, there is a high probability that fake engine oil was used! There is also a very small possibility: burn the oil!
The paint thickness of the front cover is very high, and it should have been painted with sheet metal scraping putty; the fixing screws inside are obviously displaced, indicating that they have been removed; but the original VIN code label is still there, indicating that the cover has not been replaced.
The left front fender was also not replaced, but the part near the threshold was painted with sheet metal!
Close to the position of the leaf leaf sheet metal, the left front door also has a similar thickness of putty, which should be caused by the same scraping.
The front windshield was replaced, not only was the date wrong, but even the brand was changed to FUYAO! Could it be that the front collision blew up the airbags? Broke the glass? This has to be verified when the interior is inspected later!
Checking back, it was found that the D-pillar was twice as thick as the sheet metal of the front leaf plate! Comparing the length by hand is another clear evidence of a national standard accident car. Is this the flaw that the owner of the car dealership said?
Pull open the door frame rubber strip, the original solder joint did not move, the small triangle glass is also original, it seems that the side is no problem.
Turning to the back, pulling open the sink rubber strip on the left side of the trunk, Dongzi saw the fold marks of re-firing welding, and it seems that the rear-end is not light! The trunk lid will definitely not be saved!
Inside the trunk, the rear visor is glued as a whole, and it seems that it has been cut and replaced? The spare tire slot or the position where the spare tire compartment is connected to the longitudinal beam have been re-glued, and the spare tire compartment has remained the same! As for whether the rear longitudinal beam was injured? You also need to put the chassis up and look at it again.
The right sink also has irregular welding marks, the right D pillar is also sheet metal, the triangular window glass has been replaced, and there are large pieces of thick putty in the roof position a little further ahead, and the workmanship is extremely poor! Where is this what rear-end flaw ah, this is topped into a hatchback and then hard pulled out!
Will the right rear fender also be cut? Looking ahead at the door frame, the expected serious sheet metal, the thickness of the putty is no less than the roof! But there is no problem with the solder joints, are they squeezed out?
With a skeptical attitude, the liner of the fender is removed from the trunk, and the color inside is not normal at first glance, it can only be replaced after, and the body skeleton is also re-welded.
Dongzi judged that the rear fender only cut the surface iron sheet, avoiding the solder joints. But such a big accident, so time-consuming and laborious to retain the original solder joint for what?
The right rear door was replaced, and the hinge was not replaced with a new one, it was burned and repaired!
The B-pillar on the right is also sheet metal, but fortunately the solder joints have not moved. The right front door and the right front fender have also been replaced, but these are small problems compared to the rear!
At this time, the customer service sister sent the car's insurance record, Dongzi saw this record on the speechless, a total of 120,000-150,000 claim amount, replaced a large series of dense accessories and materials, such a major rear-end accident how dare to tell the buyer that it is a flaw? Where has the conscience gone?
Transferring the insurance record to the buyer guy, he waited for boredom to go to the side of the stroll, Dongzi continued to look at the interior!
The airbag has been removed, combined with the risk record, it should be replaced by a bomb blast! Including the dashboard together!
The main and auxiliary seat belts have not been replaced, but wordlessly, it is currently locked! Can only pull to the level of photos, this is not enough to give money to repair the car?
The seat is wrapped in leather, and the original car is a cloth seat, so the seat must have been removed. And the hole is sharpened, and the number of kilometers of 90,000 should also be doubted!
Seeing that the buyer guy hurried back, Dongzi told him in detail about the current situation, and the guy said that this is also too garbage, what a thing! The gap with the original heart is too big, don't look at it, go away!
In this way, the test was terminated in advance before looking at the chassis, and the owner of the car dealership did not retain the buyer, he knew that retention was useless, and the price did not have any room for profit, which is the price of the accident car, or wait for the next person who knows how to do it! It can also be said that the owner of the car shop deliberately conceals the condition of the car, because in the industry, the flaw is a code word that can be large or small, a C-pillar sheet metal can be said to be a flaw, cutting off half of the front of the car can also be said to be a flaw, only by combining the price to know whether the flaw is big or small, so buy a second-hand car and play the game to rush the same, buy more than a few times to understand the mystery, can not rush to start, otherwise it is a loss.
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!
