Hello, everyone! I am Altman, a car inspector and inspection technician. I am a maintenance technician with many years of maintenance experience. Now I am a second-hand car inspector. Welcome everyone to this issue of used car inspection fun.
Ultraman has seen the famous Japanese anime-"Initial" when he was very young "D", vaguely remember that the protagonist Fujiwara Takumi in the anime drove a Toyota AE86, and every morning he sent tofu to the famous autumn mountains. Although the horsepower of the 1.6L naturally aspirated engine is not particularly large, thanks to its relatively light weight (925KG) and front-rear drive layout, the acceleration and handling are not bad. The flip-light design of this car also looks very handsome and special. I think that young people who have watched "Initial D" dream of owning an AE86 of their own. Unfortunately, due to the relatively late origin of domestic automobile culture and other factors, this car did not finally enter the country.
Speaking of this, there may be fans asking: "Are you going to go far to Ultraman today? Can you test us a second-hand Toyota AE86?" Haha~ If this is the case, then you are thinking too much! Although I did not bring you the test report of AE86 today, what I have brought you is a successor model that is closely related to it-Toyota 86.
Toyota and Subaru jointly developed in 2013, Toyota was responsible for exterior design, gearbox and drive system, Subaru took out the Boxer horizontal four-cylinder engine and imported the Toyota brand D-4S in-cylinder direct injection system and high-speed design. The result of this is that it has brought new hope to countless AE86 fans, because the two major Japanese car companies Toyota and Subaru finally used their strength and actions to let the feelings of these fans fall to the ground.
The fan we tested today also came for feelings. Because of the country's new emission policy, some places have problems such as difficulty in entering households. In addition, the Toyota 86 used car source is relatively scarce, so this fan also searched for a long time through various channels, and finally found this car.
After contacting the car dealer, this fan probably took a look at the car at the scene. It was initially found that there was a bit of oil leakage and modification in many places, but no other problems were seen. But to be on the safe side, the fans finally asked our car inspector to come and help with the inspection. Because fans feel that the water in the used car market is still deep, it is estimated that the car dealers where you can see are well done for you, and there may be some tricks in the invisible or difficult to see places. It can be seen that this fan is quite clear about the market, and also trusts our car inspector to help him solve this problem.
Well, not much gossip. To be loyal to others when entrusted by others, Ultraman came to the inspection site on time according to the time agreed by the customer. Check the appearance first. Standing on the side of the front of the car, you can see that the front cover, front bumper, front fender, door and wheel hub are all modified. The hood and fender look likeThe material is made of carbon fiber, and the wheels are changed to a retro VIP style, but the whole car is not treated with a low profile.
The detection found that the left rear fender has painting phenomenon, and the value is still normal and there is no sheet metal phenomenon. However, there is a phenomenon of sheet metal spray paint on the lower left side beam, and the value is relatively large. This problem can be regarded as the category of accident vehicles. The left door has also been modified. It seems that there has been a collision on the left side of the car, and the impact should be relatively strong, otherwise there is no need to change the door. The right rear fender also showed signs of spray paint, and the value is not high. Generally speaking, there is a serious problem in appearance: the sheet metal of the lower left side beam.
The exterior part of the inspection is finished, and then we proceed to the engine compartment inspection. When you open the engine compartment, you can see that various wiring harnesses are exposed, which looks very messy. In addition, the blue part is the place that the owner has modified. In general, there are still more places that have been modified. It seems that the previous owner has spent a lot of thought on this car. Briefly introduce the power system of this car. This car is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum horsepower of 200Ps and a maximum torque of 205Nm. It is matched with a 6-speed manual gearbox with an acceleration time of 7.3S (official). Someone actually tested it with an acceleration score of 6.2S. In general, the book data is general for a sports car.
In detail, the air intake hose is modified, the brand is SARD, this is a well-known car Modified parts manufacturer, headquartered in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, was established in September 1985. In addition, there are also modifications to the oil cooling pipe, air filter and engine.
The battery has lost power and needs to be maintained later. There is a slight deterioration of the brake fluid. It is recommended to replace the brake fluid. Otherwise, the brake performance will decline more obviously during the intense driving process. There are oil stains on the intake manifold and there is a cleaning phenomenon, but the cleaning effect is not very good.
There are signs of oil leakage and cleaning at the connection between the engine and the gearbox, and there is also no cleaning effect. Good phenomenon. At this time, the fan leaned over and said to me: "In fact, when I came to see the car a few days ago, I found that the car dealer was cleaning the engine compartment. Before cleaning, there were still a lot of oil stains. I don’t know if this is serious. Tell me: "No problem, don't worry, brother, if you don't worry, you can ask someone to see it!" So I made an appointment for your car inspector to come and help me see the car." I said: "I will give you these questions. Recorded, but for now, such oil leakage levels are generally within the normal range. As long as there is no large area of oil leakage or oil leakage, the others are minor problems. The chassis inspection will be done later. At that time, I will take a closer look from the bottom of the engine gearbox."
After checking the cabin Check the interior and found modifications to the seats and steering wheel. The seats are all replaced with bucket seats for racing cars, which are quite good for wrapping. It is said that there are 15,000 seats, tusk, here I think of my little yellow car~~
The front airbag of the steering wheel has been modified and disassembled, and because this steering wheel cannot be installed with the airbag, the instrument fault light will always be on. The gear lever area is very slightly worn, and the meter shows a mileage of 31466KM, but combined with the engine oil leakage, it feels that it does not match this kilometer. The cigarette lighter is in good condition and not corroded, and the seat rails are also very clean, basically eliminating the suspicion of blisters. The inspection of the interior is over. Generally speaking, the condition is fairly good. However, because there is no airbag, there is a certain degree of danger when driving.
We are currently conducting road test inspections. Due to safety considerations, the company stipulates that we cannot take pictures during the road test And driving the vehicle, so I will briefly talk about the dynamic ride experience of this Toyota 86. After starting the vehicle, the acceleration, shift, deceleration and braking were normal, and the steering wheel did not deviate. Because of the modified exhaust, the exhaust sound is very loud. When passing through the tunnel, the car dealer also showed us a “blow up” tunnel with 2 gears at 7000 rpm. It was banging~~ Some abnormal noises came from the right front door while driving. It felt that something was loose, as if the wiring harness was not installed properly. of. In addition, I have to say that the wrapping of this bucket chair is really good. It has very good support when accelerating and cornering, and it firmly fixes me on the seat. Generally speaking, the road test performance of this car is normal.
After the road test, we drove the car to a cooperative repair shop for chassis inspection. During the lifting process, we can see that there are many modifications in the chassis of this car.
includes: lower swing arm, shock absorber, exhaust pipe, rear axle differential housing And drive shafts. In addition, except for some black oil stains on the surface of the drive shaft, the rest of the modified parts are normal without cracks, corrosion, and damage.
Go forward and then check, find a large area of oil leakage at the bottom of the gearbox, it looks like Still more serious. There are also signs of oil leakage in the engine oil pan. Although the car dealer has cleaned it, the oil leakage can still be clearly seen from the bottom inspection. It seems that the engine and gearbox of this car are in real condition. It’s not so good. No wonder car dealers use cleaning methods to cover up the facts. At this time, I saw the fan standing by and facing the chassis of the car with a disappointed expression on his face. From the look in his eyes, I seemed to read that he was going to say goodbye to this 86.
This is the end of the chassis inspection, and the OBD inspection will follow. It was found that the vehicle had a lot of fault codes, and only six airbags were reported. It was also said before that the vehicle could not install the airbag because of the modification of the steering wheel. That's why so many fault codes are reported here. In addition, the AC air conditioning system also reported three fault codes. This is because the car dealer has parked the car in a room without sunlight for a long time, and the light sensor cannot detect external signals, so this fault code is reported. This does not belong to Vehicle breakdown problem.
Here, the testing of this Toyota 86 is all over. Taking advantage of the car dealer’s effort to install the lower guard, I told my fans about the condition of the car: Generally speaking, the condition of the car is not very good, there are more modified parts, and the engine and transmission have oil leakage. The fan said that he had seen it too. The condition of this car is indeed not very good, and the price is more expensive. The car dealer gave me a price of 230,000. Because my friend also has a Toyota 86, he has also contacted it before. In contrast, I feel that this car does have more problems, so I don't plan to buy it.
Then he told the car dealer to send me to the station, and went back to consider giving a reply. Later, I walked and chatted with the fans, and found that he is a person who prefers to go off the track, so there is no problem with the modification part of the vehicle. I also said that he had scrapped 3 engines when driving off the track. But today, the oil leak of this car is really unacceptable. I am afraid that it will be troublesome to repair it after I bought it, and the price of this car is not low. He also consulted that there is an unmodified Toyota 86 on his side, which only sells for 270,000 yuan, which is a bit expensive. That’s why I decided to call us over and take a look at the gatekeepers, but I didn’t know it and I was surprised. There were so many problems detected~~
The fans also repeated to me again and again: When I stepped on the spot, I found that the car leaked more. But I didn't see the chassis part, and I never wanted to give up. If he saw it at that time, basically based on the experience of playing cars in the past few years and the things he learned from watching our programs frequently, he also said that he would not consider it again. However, the car dealer said at the time that the condition of the car was okay and he could call someone to check it. He felt that the car dealer's proposal showed that he was still more confident. The fans were still wondering if they would think too much, and the car might not be a big problem. Unexpectedly, the test results were worse than previously expected. It seems that it is wise to keep a hand.
He also said that I am still thinking about how to reject the car dealers, but we will not separate them later. In an hour, fans called me and said: The car dealer sent him a message and asked him, didn’t he say to send the master away? Why didn't you come back? He told the car dealer at that time: This car is not suitable, if you have other 86, I can check it out. In fact, fans were also considering whether or not to buy this car, thinking that if they couldn't find a suitable one later, they might still buy this car afterwards and just clean it up. But the information sent by the car dealer completely made him die. The car dealer said: You can’t do this. After watching for a long time, I said no. After you left, I asked the master to install the guard, and it took two hours to install it. 200 yuan, you have to calculate the cost with me, otherwise I will lose face! After the fans knew that he was here to make money, they decisively blocked him. Originally, the business was not righteous, and the fans wanted to look back and think that the car dealer directly blocked him.
Then the fans thought that the other party should have some understanding. As a result, the other party actually called him directly and asked him: Why don't you want this car, today you have to tell me why, is it to check if the master has broken it, telling you not to buy it and so on. The fan who made it felt very helpless, and finally he said to me: Do you want to buy it at a glance? Do I have no choice? It seems that the water in the used car is still too deep~~
Currently this car is 20The market price of 13 Toyota 86 manual luxury models is about 150,000 yuan, but the vehicle tested this time has many modifications and the cost is relatively high. Therefore, the seller may purchase the price at a relatively high price, so they will quote a price much higher than the market price by tens of thousands of yuan. However, the Toyota 86 itself is very popular in the used car market, and people who like it will love it.
