Zhengzhou Rain disaster Zhejiang typhoon Guangdong flood caused many car owners to suffer huge losses.
On social platforms, in addition to the heroic deeds emerging from all over the world, I believe everyone has also seen batches of cars that have been flooded or washed away. It is expected that many wading trucks may flow into the used car market in a large number in two months.
so many media have released various strategies on "Identification of Second-hand Water Soaking Trucks" and taught car owners how to identify and inspect cars when purchasing, etc. But to be honest, since everyone knows these methods of identifying water trucks, won’t second-hand car dealers know?
As an old man who has been in the "deep pool" of used cars for ten years, Brother Tai will talk to all the men today about the details that second-hand car dealers will only look at when collecting cars.
The identification method of water truck taught online
can only identify the most difficult water truck
As long as there is a flood in some places, a group of "beautiful first-hand fine cars" with beautiful and charming appearance will naturally flow into the used car market. This type of car generally has a characteristic that it is much newer than the normal source of the car, and the price is particularly cheaper.
Although everyone knows that it may be a water soaker, there are always people who pretend to be confused when they understand. I thought that if I found out that I could get a refund and compensate for three, so I found a lot of content to identify the water soaking truck online to endorse myself. The result of
is basically conceivable. If the car dealer is willing to clean up, it depends on these so-called tutorials on the Internet. What you can see is basically garbage in the garbage truck condition.
In the first part of the article, Brother Tai came to solve the problem of why it is useless to see these places.
First of all, many media will say that opening engine compartment to see if the cabin is particularly dirty, check if there are any stains, mud and sediment precipitation, etc., and then check whether there are signs of yellowing inside the front and rear light groups that are soaked and turned yellow. Or it is not correct to be quite new.
This situation will only occur in individuals and scattered sellers
To be honest, all the men who have been to the used car market know that almost every used car is basically clean. If you open the engine cover, you will only have shiny watch panel wax . You can almost never think about finding out the mud and sand. Even if the headlights are yellowed, they can be renovated by almost no solution by identifying the appearance alone.
Even if the headlights are newer, the biggest possibility is that the headlights have been broken and replaced with a set.
Then check whether the central control in the interior is mud, whether the instrument is malfunctioning, the seats are moldy, and the seats are water stains. There are many appraisal articles on the market, and many car owners use this method to check. However, if you can find out this problem, it is also the condition of the slag truck in the condition of the slag truck.
This interior is only 1000
The most important thing in the preparation of used cars is the interior. If a large washing bag of 600 yuan cannot be solved, it will be 1000 yuan.
Imagine you are a car dealer. Will you not do a big wash when you come back from a soaked water truck? The seat belt can be removed and washed again. It is very convenient to remove the seat. All the twist marks can be covered with just a piece of plastic film. It is difficult for you to remove rust from the whole car.
Finally, it is a very famous place to check the trunk and truck tool cover and other places. This thing is really nonsense. The refurbishment of the vehicle tool is very simple, as long as the rust is not severe, WD40 pipes everything. If you are more serious, you can buy a set of them for about a hundred yuan. The cover can be dried after washing. Even particleboard , which is very moldy, can be dried and sprayed.
Generally speaking, the installation part of the air conditioner filter is generally located at the front end of the air inlet of the air conditioner blower. Normally, there will be a little flocculent dust at most in the corners of the blower bracket, even if other mud and sand things are almost non-existent.
If the car dealer is determined to create an refined car to fool you, based on the knowledge reserves of ordinary car owners, it can be said that one cheats and one is accurate.Then he made tens of thousands of dollars with tears in his eyes. The owner also felt that the merchant was sincere and recommended his friends to be "scamd".
"Refined" water truck cannot be used even if it is
These two local car dealers cannot clean them even if they want to wash
Seeing this, many car owners probably want to give up. Since the water is so deep, just don't touch a used car. However, you can't say it too much. It is naturally difficult to identify a soaked water truck, but it is not impossible to check it out. In fact, car owners do not need very advanced technology and equipment to do it.
Just remember a central idea: Check the car dealer where it cannot be prepared, and then check it out~
For the next content, Brother Tai will talk to the men about many inspection places that "online cloud car dealers" don't know, and basically it can be tried and done!
Next comes the real information! Dear masters, please bring your own drinking water to moisten your throat.
First of all, according to different inspection difficulties, let’s talk about the simplest : instrument stand beam
instrument table is the most unwilling part of all auto repair shops, 4S or 4S. This thing integrates too many functions and electrical appliances, and it’s too labor-intensive. If you have a little assembly problem, this failure will come continuously, which is thankless.
and identify blister car first, you can check the skeleton behind our instrument table "round tube beam"
The instrument table skeleton does not have electrophoretic primer, it is just a general B510L galvanized steel, and there is no water environment requirement inside the instrument table, so a layer of floating rust will appear near the skeleton welding points or punching holes. However, if the water inlet humidity in the interior increases sharply, this layer of floating rust will turn into a large area of lax water rust layer, and the texture of the fingernails scraped up is completely different. Floating rust is mostly powder-like, while water rust is hard and scratching.
Typical instrument stand floating rust
Typical large-area water rust traces in salt spray environment
So when we check the suspected water soaking truck, just look back at the beam on the back of the instrument table, and you can initially determine whether the water is blistering!
The same logic, let's continue to dig in: Look at the air conditioner blower bracket
The entire air supply duct of the vehicle is also hidden inside the cabin instrument table. The entire assembly part almost accounts for the central control area of ⅔, and the air conditioner blower Fresh Air Blower supplies air to the air conditioner refrigeration evaporator near the cabin and the engine heat exchanger Heat Exchanger. The condenser and heat exchanger both have temperature sensors for temperature regulation.
can be said to be a very large and closed system, and naturally there will be many traces due to blister problems. So how should we check? Very simple, remove our built-in air conditioner filter check blower bracket.
Generally speaking, the installation part of the air conditioner filter is generally located at the front end of the air inlet of the air conditioner blower. Normally, there will be a little flocculent dust at most in the corners of the blower bracket, even if other mud and sand things are almost non-existent.
. After we remove the filter element of in , we use our fingers to wipe the surface of the pipeline. If there is mud and sand, we can confirm that the air conditioner of this car has had water inflow. Use endoscope to check. If there is mud and sand accumulation in the blower bracket, we can confirm that the car has blisters.
Of course, the most reliable detection method for blister trucks must be to look at the insurance record. As long as the car is not injured but the total loss is determined, it can be understood as blister trucks.
To be honest, there are no cars that cannot be repaired but are people who are unwilling to repair them properly. The reason why the water-soaked car is despised by everyone is mainly because the fault is highly concealed. At a glance, there may be no obvious problems, but it is a time bomb. If every car dealer wants to prepare for renovation, the low cost of buying the blister itself can greatly reduce the hidden dangers caused by the blister itself after renovation.
But car dealers who are really willing to renovate well almost do not exist in the world.
Summary:
is not greedy and is not afraid of any trap.So don’t be rushing to buy or sell in a hurry. Ask more people who understand their professions and listen less to sellers. I have a scale in my mind. Compare more before buying, and don’t care after buying. You must at least have a good mood when spending money, right?
Brother Tai has been told by his friends that he can’t get any dry things out recently, so this time he directly pressed his colleagues to the ground to rub them. However, there are still many problems that I could not imagine for a while, and I can add them next time.
Tai Ge also has many secrets that cannot be told about the automotive industry. If you are interested, you can follow me.
All the masters are welcome to discuss with Brother Tai in the comment section.
