With the advent of the rainy season, most parts of the country have been seriously affected by heavy rains in recent days, such as Changsha and other places have suffered several rounds of heavy rainfall, and the road area formed by huge rainfall in a short period of time has led to a large number of private cars being soaked and damaged by rainwater.
Even Fuzhou, where the editor is located, also "participated in it", yesterday a heavy rain, although it extinguished the heat wave, but also brought some troubles.....
Affected by this, the second-hand car market is afraid that a new batch of "soaking water vehicles" will pour in, so friends who have recently bought second-hand cars must be vigilant so as not to fall into the trap. After reading this issue, teach you that if you recognize the soaking water car, you may use it in the future.
First, the hidden dangers of water soaking trucks
Because the price of the "soaking water car" is very low, it is easy to cause many friends to be moved by the "soaking water car". But in fact, there are still a series of problems caused by the water soaking car, such as circuit short circuit, transmission damage, engine failure, metal parts rust, etc., and even if it is repaired, it is difficult to ensure that the problem will occur again when it is used in the future, so as long as there is no special situation, it is best not to try easily, and safety must be put first.
Second, how to identify the water bubble car
So how to distinguish whether a vehicle is a "water soaking car"? It can be judged by the following points
1, when buying a car, the price is too low the vehicle is very new, as we just said earlier, "soaking water car" is generally at a very low price to attract customers, and the car dealer will also be through the later stage of the vehicle maintenance and repair, so if you encounter a second-hand car that is lower than 20% of the market price, and the car condition is very new, you have to be careful.
2, check whether there is a peculiar smell in the car, in fact, the interior is the most likely to expose the water soaking car, into the car if there is a smell of obvious musty smell or a very exaggerated aroma, then you have to pay more attention, because the water soaked car, even if it is cleaned up in time, there will be a musty smell in the car, some car dealers in order to cover up this smell, and even spray a lot of air freshener.
3, check whether the chassis has rust, you know, after the car is soaked in water, the chassis will often be more likely to rust, especially some metal parts, such as suspension screws, we can also find out whether the vehicle is soaked by careful observation.
4, check under the carpet, air conditioning outlet, engine compartment whether there is silt, when the whole car is soaked, although it can be repaired and cleaned, but many places will be infiltrated with a lot of sediment, then you need to see if there are such traces inside and outside the car, if there is, you can completely suspect that this is a water car!
summary:
All in all, as long as you can grasp the above 4 points, I believe you will be able to find some clues to the water soaking car, if you are still not at ease, you can find a professional organization to help you test, after all, if there is really something wrong with buying home, it will not be worth the loss. Finally, I would like to remind you that on rainy days, try to park the car at a high place, and it is best not to stop at low-lying places such as downhills and drainage ditches that are easy to accumulate water.
