Everyone knows that every industry has a deep water, especially in the second-hand car market. Many consumers turn their attention to the second-hand market because there is not enough pre-sale. However, in this market, they will accidentally buy accident cars, water soaked trucks, etc., so many consumers will bring a master to go there when choosing a used car. Now with the arrival of the rainy season, many water soaked trucks will appear in many second-hand markets. So can we buy a car that has been soaked? How can we choose whether the car that has been soaked? Can we buy a car that has been soaked? Let’s discuss this issue today.
Many people say that you can’t buy a water truck. This statement is correct, but it is too extreme. We can also divide the water truck into several situations;
water truck: This kind of car cannot be considered a water truck. Generally speaking, the degree of injury of this model is the lowest, that is, the water level exceeds the chassis of the car, and the impact on performance, configuration functions and other factors will not be too great.
semi-soaked water truck: This kind of car is a model whose water level exceeds the center console and has flooded the seats. The vehicle's electrical and wires and other circuit systems are soaked. It is very difficult to clean this car. Even if it is repaired, it will often fail in the future. If the engine is watered, it will be even worse. In severe cases, the engine will be scrapped.
full-soaked water truck; this kind of car has been completely submerged with water and has flooded the roof. All the parts in the car are soaked, so in this case there is no need to do any useless work. Even after the overhaul, there will be many sequelae.
In general, if it is a water soaking truck, you can still consider buying it. But if it is a semi-soaking truck or a fully soaking truck, then don’t buy it. The electronic components and core components of these models are all scrapped, and even if it is repaired, there will be accidents. Generally speaking, luxury cars worth hundreds of thousands of yuan are only sold for 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and they are all water soaking trucks. Don’t be greedy for this small advantage, so as not to make a profit.
How to identify a water truck when you are soaked in a car?
Traditional Chinese medicine cares about looking, listening, asking and touching. If we identify whether it is soaked in a water truck, we only need to look, smell, and touching. There is no need to ask questions, and we won’t tell you even if the vehicle is asked, but if we ask a second-hand dealer, we will definitely say that there is no.
时: Wang means to observe the details in the car; after a water soaking truck is taken back, the manufacturer will perform a series of treatments, so the appearance and interior are difficult to see. At this time, we need to observe in-depth to see if there are any traces of rust on the supporting screws of the seat, whether there is mud and sand in the gaps in the seat, whether there is water marks in the engine cabin, etc. If there is, then be careful, this may be the water soaking truck.
sm: The car that has been soaked in water has a musty smell. At this time, we have to smell the seats, interior materials, etc., and smell if there is any odor and mold. If the interior seats of the vehicle are all new and there is a perfume smell, then you should pay attention.
Cut: Cut is to touch. The filling inside the seat is generally a sponge, and the sponge will absorb water after soaking in water. At this time, we touch and press the seat with our hands to see if there will be water flow or uneven hardness, etc. If the seat belt is also pulled out to see if there are water marks at the roots. In addition, we can also try the buttons and rotational damping feeling of the center console. If there is difficulty in pressing the buttons, it may be mixed with mud and sand. At this time, you should pay attention.
summary: The above is my personal opinion on water soaking wheels. If the water has been soaked in the chassis, you can still consider it as appropriate, but if you have soaked in the electronic components of the center console, don’t consider it; the water in the used car market is very deep, so if you want to buy it, you should buy it from an acquaintance, or bring a more proficient master to help you take a look.
