Actually, I have not been able to pinpoint the brand of Maserati. Although in most people’s perception, it may be tied to Porsche and other brands, but those who know it are very clear that Maserati’s quality control is really Very general, compared to its brand at the same price, the gap is not one and a half. However, it is precisely because of this that the preservation rate of used cars for all Maserati models is very low. What does the low retention rate mean? Of course it is cost-effective!
Hello everyone, I’m Yige, a senior luxury car inspector in Yilan Road. What Yige mentioned above may be one of the reasons why everyone buys a second-hand Maserati. Of course, everyone’s perception and aesthetics of a car are different, and I can’t completely accurately judge the reason why you love it, but after all, not everyone in this world has a wealth of money, so I believe that the price is the same. Words are still applicable to most people...
Let’s take a look at what Yige will test for customers today The car, the Maserati GT manufactured in 13 years, should talk about the origin of this car... In fact, it has no origin, it is the car source information (business car) that customers normally see on the Internet. After calling and asking Yes, I found our escape lane just to be on the safe side, hoping to send an inspector to do a comprehensive inspection of the car, so as to avoid a series of follow-up problems after the car is bought.
OK, let’s see the car first!
If you know more about cars, I believe you can see through this picture that the appearance of this car is covered with car film.
Because of the reflection of sunlight, it is more obvious from this angle, and there is a touch of matte . However, because of the film, it is difficult to see any defects from the appearance.
Waiting from a distance to no avail, now let us zoom in and see if we can see from the gap in the details Some abnormalities.
As expected, after careful observation, Yi Ge found some traces of flying paint on the edge of the top of the vehicle. Seeing this... I really can't blame Brother Yi for thinking too much. After all, Brother Yi had seen too many problems before and wanted to get through after applying the film.
The idea was only a flash in my mind, and then I took out the paint film instrument to paint the whole car. There was a big check. The final result is this: there are traces of sheet metal repair on the hood, left front fender, left front door, and left rear fender. Without too much explanation, the data has shown everything!
Open the cabin, or that is the familiar plastic cover, let's take a look at the state of the cover before removing it↓
Looking at the edge of the hood, we can easily see the traces of the sheet metal scraping putty, needless to say, this position It must have been touched.
After removing the cover on the upper side of the engine room, both the engine body and the edge of the cover are completely exposed in front of us, come down to us Check them one by one↓
The top of the shock-absorbing tower, this position seems to be pretty good, the upper fixing screw is not disassembled Traces, but now it can only prove that there has not been maintenance, as for whether there is any problem, we have to pass road test, chassis and other tests to make judgments.
The fixing screws of the fender, this is a bit interesting, one left and one right, the one on the left is a supplement If the paint is too heavy, you can judge from the paint surface that has exploded at the corners. And now we are looking back at the other side. Is this the stepmother's birth? It's all rusted like this...
This is the front anti-collision beam of the car with obvious repairs on it. There were plastic marks, so there must have been accidents here, but there are also serious accidents. Where is the extent of this car? Let's continue to look at the picture ↓
Check the fixing screws of the anti-collision beams on both sides, there is no trace of disassembly on the top , So now we can draw this conclusion: the front of the car was involved in a collision accident, the front anti-collision beam has some damage, but it did not damage the important internal structural parts (longitudinal beams, etc.), so this is not a major accident .
After reading the exterior parts, let’s check the engine body of the car.
Regarding the static detection of the engine, many people may have one more question. What is the static detection? In fact, it is simply to check whether the engine has been repaired or leaked oil, and whether the service life of the wearing parts is sufficient. However, the car in front of us, um...At present, Yige has not found any traces of oil leakage or maintenance. We will verify it again when the chassis is tested!
The last item in the engine room lets us take a look at the oil in the vehicle. I believe everyone can also see this. All the oil currently visible on the trolley needs to be replaced.
Open the trunk, the interior is fairly tidy, at least there is no other sundries.
Let’s first look at the fixing screws of the trunk cover. Everyone should be able to distinguish such disassembly traces. .
Then look here again, this is the left and right sides seen after the side panels on both sides of the trunk are deducted The look of the inner side of the fender, many people may think there is a problem when seeing these traces of glue. Actually not, if you don’t believe it, you can also find a new MasalaTake a look.
Pull the car door, and now we are ready to conduct interior inspection.
Check the fixing screws of the door hinge position and find that there are obvious traces of disassembly and assembly. These are nothing more than two possibilities. One is removed for maintenance (sheet metal, spray paint, etc.), and the other is replaced.
Get in the car, check the steering wheel and find that there are some slight signs of wear on the top, but it is not serious and it is considered normal use Traces of it!
Looking at the instrument information, the vehicle performance kilometer is more than 30,000 kilometers. For this one about six years old For cars, it should be considered very few, but only more than 5,000 kilometers a year.
Here is a close-up. This is the fixing screw on the upper surface of the instrument. After careful inspection, it is found that there is obvious disassembly on the upper surface. Install traces, why would you remove this place? Your product is a dashboard!
For this interior, surely many people want to complain about it. After so many years, why has there been no change? What is the meaning of such persistence?
After the ignition is started, the car's shifting mechanism is detected in situ, and there is no abnormality after the detection, but the transmission is the main car One of the parts is that nothing can be detected in this simple way, and we will have to make judgments when we wait for the road test.
Although it is a four-seater car, there are obviously very few people in the rear of this car. This is from the top of the seat. The wear marks can be judged.
For this kind of sports car, OBD detection has always been very important. Reading the vehicle fault information reveals that the vehicle transmission system, system There are multiple fault codes in the power system and other locations, but most of them are circuit faults and will not affect our normal driving. Just pay attention to it later.
is in the road test again, and after talking to the customer, he went to communicate with the seller. After a while, another staff member walked out of the store, and he didn't know whether he was also a salesman or a driver in the store (the kind who specializes in test drives). Anyway, he brought Yige to the road test. After about ten minutes, the road test session ended. Because of the limited conditions, we couldn't drive at high speed. Simple tests of acceleration, deceleration, uniform speed, lane change, etc. were found in the urban section.
Generally speaking, the dealers that can sell Maserati GT are not very small, and this one is of course no exception. Because they have their own maintenance center, we drove the car back directly after the road test, and after finding a shelf in the maintenance area, we started today's final inspection project.
After the car was raised, I first looked at the chassis as a whole, and found that there were some slight traces of underpinning, but this is also the case. A sports car, the chassis is so low, some underpinning can actually be understood.
Inspecting the rear axle differential of the vehicle, it was found that there were slight traces of oil leakage on the side axle positions on both sides, but not Seriously, it will not affect our normal use for a period of time.
Obvious traces of oil leakage are found in the engine cylinder from the bottom.
This is the position of the vehicle timing cover, and the oil stains on it are also obvious.
The content of the chassis inspection is all that. Generally speaking, it is okay. The oil leakage of the car is basically caused by the aging of the rubber pad. Although it is not a big problem, it is still very troublesome to deal with.
We have basically finished talking about the car conditions now, let us summarize a little: in terms of hardware, in fact There is no major problem with this car, and through the inspection of the details, it can be judged that the car has no major accidents, but even so, it is not recommended to buy this car, everyone can listen to the reasons ↓
First of all, it is the appearance. Although there is a car film on the top, we can also judge through the various details of the inspection. The exterior treatment is very rough, this is one; the second is that this car can now clearly see the oil leak, although there is no need to rush to deal with it now, but I believe that it will not be too long to avoid a major repair. ··
But everything can’t be absolute. Just like our customer, according to Yige's test results, he won the car at a relatively low price. At least he is satisfied with the final price.
OK, today’s test story is shared with you. I wonder if you have learned anything here? If you want to know more about the story of vehicle inspection or you also want to ask us to help you inspect the car, search the official WeChat public account: Yichedao. I am Brother Yi, please advise!
