My Years As a Car Dealer

Chapter 0154: Blister car is divided into three cases

Wang Keqiang was upset by the leper, and now the car supply is tight. He was also afraid of being pryed by other car dealers in the used car market.

Zhang Hu pulled Zhang Chen to the back row, Hao Qiang sat in the co-pilot's seat, and Wang Keqiang lightly stepped on the accelerator and drove out.

Generally, this kind of performance beast doesn't have much space in the back row. For example, the rear row of the 911 is just a cramped and cramped dog.

Zhang Chen's height is more than 1.8 meters. Sitting in the back row of the Mercedes-Benz C63507 feels okay, but he can't stretch his legs a little, even better than some small steel cannons advertised by the OEM as a performance coupe.

Zhang Hu is short, and sitting is quite comfortable, without the slightest feeling of aggrieved.

In order to test the performance, Wang Keqiang chose a road with speed bumps, and both Zhang Chen and Zhang Hu in the back row bounced up after a few bumps.

"The chassis is good, but the suspension is too stiff." Wang Keqiang clenched the steering wheel with both hands, stared carefully ahead, and said to the employees, "If I run long distances at high speed, my old waist will not be able to bear it."

"The average fuel consumption of this car is 19, and now it's over 20. A tank of fuel can run less than 200 kilometers, and it can't go on the highway!" Zhang Chen in the back row was not wearing a seat belt, and he was about to hit his head. to the roof.

In fact, Zhang Chen also knows that this Mercedes-Benz C63507 is known as the king of straight lines. It is a high-fuel consumption car for pure play. It is similar to the Toyota 86 in nature. , in order to get on the track, you have to sacrifice comfort.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one on the road ahead, Wang Keqiang stepped on the accelerator, and the engine roared. Zhang Chen only felt the car sway forward, and immediately rushed out of the way and felt a real push back.

"Well, not bad, not bad." Wang Keqiang is very satisfied with the acceleration effect of Mercedes-Benz C63507, and there is no abnormal noise or deviation in the chassis, and the braking system is very normal.

After turning around, Wang Keqiang happily drove the Mercedes-Benz C63507 back to the front of Building B.

The car slowly stopped beside the leper, and the leper happily opened the door to Wang Keqiang, looking complacent: "How is it, are you satisfied now?"

"The gear shift is active, and the engine and gearbox are in good condition." After the road test and the inspection just now, Wang Keqiang is very satisfied with this Mercedes-Benz C63507. Except for the need to change the oil, the original original paint of the whole vehicle has no traces of blisters and fires. There is no accidental sheet metal accident on the body, the engine and gearbox are running normally... Overall the car is still in very good condition.

The most important thing is that this Mercedes-Benz C63507 has not been modified in any other place except for the better Rolls-Royce Phantom and the same Lescon audio. .

"Manager Wang, why is a plain car more expensive than a modified car?" Zhang Hu was a little confused. He felt that since the original owner spent a lot of money to modify the car, shouldn't it be more expensive to sell the car? How can it be cheaper?

"I'll talk to the leprosy about the price first." Wang Keqiang was so anxious that he wanted to collect the two cars. He didn't have time to explain it to Zhang Hu, so he pointed at Zhang Chen and said, "Let Zhang Chen introduce you to them."

When Zhang Hu looked at Zhang Chen curiously, Zhang Chen told him that performance cars are different from ordinary family sedans and grocery shopping cars. Many car owners will make a lot of modifications after buying them, such as changing the exhaust, changing the turbo, and even Change the engine, brush the ECU, etc.

A lot of modifications will improve the performance of the car, but also cause some damage to the car.

Taking the first-order and second-order brushing of ECU, increases the horsepower and also increases the fuel consumption. It also reduces the life of the engine and some wearing parts, and the failures increase. Second-hand car buyers have to pay a lot of extra costs, of course. I don't want to.

For modified cars, it is difficult to sell whether your model is small or not. Even if it is a professionally modified car, most people are reluctant to accept a second-hand car that has been modified by others, so restoring a normal car can greatly improve the probability of sale.

Therefore, the performance car is the most respected plain car. Not only does the modified car not have a better and more expensive price, but its market conditions do not have a clear price range, but it is cheaper than the original plain car.

Over there, the leper and Wang Keqiang had almost negotiated the price. It was determined that the two cars totaled 680,000 yuan. The four seas auto dealership paid the car price at one time, and the two parties signed the contract and passed the procedures to transfer the ownership.

Looking at the elated man in the distance, Zhang Chen felt that the price was very fair and reasonable. He thought the condition of these two high-quality cars would break the 700,000 mark, but he didn't expect the man to talk so well.

There are more and more car dealers gathered around. Everyone heard that Wang Keqiang paid less than 700,000 yuan to buy a Camry in excellent condition, and a Mercedes-Benz C63507 in excellent condition.

Lei Zi was happy, and Wang Keqiang was even happier. He also felt that the collection of the car was all smooth, whether it was checking the car condition or negotiating the price. He immediately handed over to the surrounding area and said that he would definitely treat the guests. .

Now the two cars belonged to the Four Seas dealership. Hao Qiang and Zhang Hu rushed towards the Mercedes-Benz C63507, excitedly fiddling with the equipment inside, but no one cared about the Camry.

Zhang Chen took out his mobile phone and called Ling Zhenghao to tell him the good news. The two parties agreed to pick up the car at Sihai Motors tomorrow afternoon and plan to drive the car back now, change the oil and water, and pack up.

Just as Zhang Chen opened the door of the Camry, suddenly a loud noise came from the Mercedes-Benz C63507. The ghostly cry and wolf howl pierced through the eardrums, making the scalp numb, and Zhang Chen even trembled in fright.

"Damn it, what kind of **** are you playing? Do you want to scare the laborers to death?" The car dealers who were watching nearby laughed and scolded Zhang Hu and the others, and told him to turn off the car stereo quickly so that people wouldn't go crazy.

This song was really annoying, and almost scared his soul away. Zhang Chen smiled wryly and shook his head and sat in the main driver's seat.

Just as Zhang Chen was about to pull the car door, his outstretched left arm stagnated in the air, and his entire body remained motionless for a long time without any response.

Suddenly Zhang Chen remembered something, raised his head sharply and turned to look at the Mercedes-Benz C63507, his face full of surprise and confusion.

I seem to have heard this song of howling ghosts and wolves there. Zhang Chen racked his brains and thought about it slowly. He quickly remembered that when he went to the hospital with Manager Wang, the little girl and Mu Qing to visit Xiao Wang Lei, I didn't meet him on the road. Got a Mercedes-Benz C63507?

The Mercedes-Benz C63507 played this scary song at the time. The owner of the car was a young man and boldly approached Mu Qing, but he was almost hit by the little **** driving the Raptor F150. Finally, the Mercedes-Benz C63507 panicked and fell into the ditch. A solid over-the-top blister car.

"In the ditch, the ditch..." A very bad premonition came to his mind, Zhang Chen was very uncertain about his guess at this time, but was dumbfounded.

"It can't be such a coincidence, right?" Zhang Chen understands that no matter how expensive the Mercedes-Benz C63507 is, how high the fuel consumption is, and how impractical it is, there are still many people who like it. The entire Huaxia has a very large number, unlike BMW There is only one M8 in the world.

But even though Zhang Hu turned off the unpleasant music under the scolding of the crowd, the noisy sound still echoed in Zhang Chen's mind, causing countless fine beads of sweat to form on his forehead.

"Blister car" is a word that both used car dealers who collect cars and used car buyers hate very much, especially when used car dealers introduce their models, they will deliberately emphasize "no blisters, no fire", Use this as a means of attracting customers.

In fact, the blister car is divided into three situations according to the degree of blister.

The first is the undercarriage.

Refers to the water submerged to the position of the footrest of the car, or not higher than the seat. This situation is very common. In many cities, waterlogging occurred due to heavy rain, and as a result, many vehicles were flooded to buy dips.

In the bald eagle country, wading deeper than the cockpit floor will be directly scrapped by the insurance company.

In our China, it is not easy for everyone to buy a car, especially if a luxury car is soaked in water, it will be very distressing. Basically, we choose to repair it instead of wasting it.

The phenomenon of bargain hunting is the lightest in a blistered car. Do anti-rust treatment and remove the seat and other parts to dry, but it must be handled properly, and don’t take chances.

And if the car is sold after being soaked in water, it will sell 10,000 to 20,000 less than a normal car, and no one even wants to buy it.

The second situation is a flooded car.

It means that the water has flooded on the seat, even below the instrument, but has not reached the roof.

This situation is relatively serious and should be scrapped actively.

Because wires, pipes, plugs, switches, resistors, capacitors, wiring harnesses and even the engine can get water.

After dismantling, cleaning and drying, the wires, gears, belts, and important parts will still remain water stains and sand.

Even if all the wiring harnesses of the whole vehicle are replaced at a high cost, it will not help, and there will be problems left, which cannot be completely repaired.

The problem of blistered cars has a long incubation period and a long running time, causing damage to components, equipment failures, short circuits, burns, etc. Severe cars will spontaneously ignite, or suddenly lose control during normal driving.

The third type is a roofless car. The whole car falls into the water, which is the worst case.

The Mercedes-Benz C63507 that Zhang Chen saw belonged to a **** car. Even if all the screws and parts of the whole car were disassembled and repaired, it would not be able to save it from being scrapped.

Even a super luxury car like the Rolls-Royce Phantom can't be bought, and it must be scrapped by insurance.

If you know it's a car without a roof and you forcibly repair it and sell it, there's something wrong.

However, there are some bad car dealers who have used tens of thousands of dollars to refurbish and sell some of the original hundreds of thousands of luxury cars, and they have done all the things that are conscientious.

Is this the case with this car?

Zhang Chen had doubts in his heart, but he was a little skeptical, and he really couldn't identify the same car with just one song.

"By the way, I have a car dealership system." Zhang Chen didn't want to drive the car back. Sitting in the main driver's seat, he immediately asked the system for a chance to use the expert-level used car appraisal skills.

"Congratulations to the host for getting an opportunity to use the expert-level used car appraisal skills. This operation consumes 200,000 pleasure points."

"I rub it, how did it increase to 200,000 pleasure points?" Zhang Chenzheng sighed that it was very inconvenient to have no expert-level used car identification skills. A long red light appeared in front of his eyes, and it was like a laser scan from the front of the car. At the rear of the car, countless pieces of information appeared in Zhang Chen's mind for a moment.

Zhang Chen was startled by the information provided by the expert-level used car appraisal skills, and even jumped up in a panic and hit the roof of the car.

Zhang Chen bared his teeth in pain and rubbed his head while observing the information he got.

The basic information prompted in the first half is the same as what Zhang Chen obtained by using the primary used car identification skills.

The subsequent identification results directly shocked him.

Some of the wiring harnesses on the car have been replaced, the door sound insulation cotton has been basically replaced with recycled cotton, the seats have been refurbished, and the large wires, connectors and sensors of the whole car have been replaced.

Because the engine enters the water, the piston connecting rod is deformed, the piston ring loses its elasticity, and the intake and exhaust are not sealed when they are closed...

In the end, the system reminded Zhang Chen that the Mercedes-Benz C63507 had been repaired thoroughly, but in order to save costs, some replaceable parts were not replaced.

Some of the replaced items are also replacement parts, or defective products like dismantled car parts. Since then, the repairs have not been thorough at all, and they have only done some superficial efforts to try to sell them.

It turned out that the whole car was suspected of being dismantled, but the maintenance technician's efforts were at home, and the state after cleaning was very good, so people couldn't see it.

Such a car is only maintained for a short period of time without accident. After the buyer buys it, it may spontaneously ignite or lose control on the road at any time after a period of time, which is equivalent to a ticking time bomb.

Zhang Chen decided in his heart that the Mercedes-Benz C63507 was a blistered car with no roof, but he did not have the impulse to go to Wang Keqiang to stop him from signing.

After all, this Mercedes-Benz C63507 was appraised by Wang Keqiang, and he decided to buy it after he found that there was nothing wrong with it. Now he runs to find him, what excuse is there to stop the transaction between the two parties?

Should I tell Wang Keqiang that I have a car dealer system? Say the facts found by expert used car appraisal skills?

No, you must not reveal your secrets, and no one can tell them, not even your parents.

How can I successfully persuade Manager Wang?

The smart Zhang Chen suddenly had a good idea. He took out his mobile phone and called Wang Keqiang.

The phone was quickly connected, and Wang Keqiang's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone: "What's wrong, Zhang Chen~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Is there something wrong?"

"Uncle Wang, do you remember that we went to the hospital with Jiang Fangyan and Mu Qing to visit Xiao Wang Lei a few days ago?"

"Remember!" Wang Keqiang was very depressed and didn't understand why Zhang Chen mentioned this.

"That day, a Mercedes-Benz owner molested Mu Qing, but he was knocked over by Jiang Fangyan and fell into the ditch, didn't he?"

"Yeah, I'm still thinking of saving people. I can feel relieved when I see that the three young people are all right." Wang Keqiang knew that although Zhang Chen was young, he was stable in matters. Now he suddenly mentioned what happened a few days ago, he must have discovered it what doubt.

Wang Keqiang trusted Zhang Chen very much and asked quietly, "What's wrong?"

"I just remembered that this Mercedes-Benz C63507 is almost exactly the same as the one that fell into the ditch." Zhang Chen looked at the surface of the Mercedes-Benz C63507 in the distance, and started nonsense based on the features above, "Look at the back of them there is a' The 63' small logo has a black AMG pattern, and the color and size of the carbon fiber rear spoiler are exactly the same. At that time, the interior of the Mercedes-Benz I observed was the same. The most suspicious thing was the sound in the car. Kang Shengsheng, is this too coincidental?" ()
