My Years As a Car Dealer

Chapter 0158: Four categories of accident vehicles

In fact, Zhang Chen just wanted to explain to Zhao Yishou how he raised the bet. He pretended to be a big coercion without realizing it, and he didn't want to pretend to be a coercion. Now it has aroused public outrage and was instantly embarrassed.

"You don't have to borrow it, I'll use the house to bet with your 200,000 yuan." Zhao Yishou was very calm, as if he didn't care how much Zhang Chen could spend to bet with him, he was confident that he would not lose, it was impossible to lose , at least not to lose to this immature young man in front of him.

"Okay, let's bet." Zhang Chen's personality was straightforward, and the two reached an agreement and began to discuss the specific steps of the game.

The competition between the two was the first time that the second-hand car market in the seaside city had opened up. Everyone had no experience, and only Zhao Yi handed out some opinions.

Zhao Yishou believes that some inspectors have their own unique secrets in the identification of used car conditions. They do not want to show their strength in front of outsiders, so he requires that the door must be closed when inspecting the Jimny to prevent others from stealing.

In addition, Zhao Yishou said that his store is fully equipped and even has a lift for bench inspection, so Zhang Chen was the first to come.

"Okay, I'll come first."

When Jimny drove into Zhao Yishou's shop, Zhang Chen was about to walk over, when Wang Keqiang grabbed Zhang Chen and said nervously, "Don't be stubborn, you can't beat Zhao Yishou, and neither can I."

Zhang Hu was also worried about Zhang Chen, and anxiously persuaded him: "Brother, let's not compare."

Hao Qiang and Fang Wu also pulled Zhang Chen to prevent him from passing: "200,000 is not a small amount."

"It's fine." Zhang Chen smiled and pushed away Hao Qiang's palm holding his arm, and said confidently, "I just learned Manager Wang's method of detecting used cars. Don't worry, I will definitely not lose."

Zhang Chen stubbornly walked to Zhao Yishou's shop, looked at his back, Wang Keqiang stomped his feet hard, and sighed in a low voice: "Nonsense, do you think you are a genius? After just one look, the used car will be inspected?"

Wang Keqiang has been in the used car industry for ten or twenty years. He knows the hardships best. After he has been in the industry for six or seven years, he has become familiar with the structure of the car before he slowly contacts the vehicle condition appraisal. The results of his work, there are still mistakes from time to time, and the gap with Zhao Yishou is not even a star.

"You can learn to identify the condition of a vehicle after just reading it once? How is this possible?" Hao Qiang knew that Zhang Chen was smart, but vehicle condition detection was not as simple as learning one plus one for elementary school students. He really couldn't believe that Zhang Chen could learn it in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Chen walked into Zhao Yishou's shop, and Zhao Yishou turned on the lights in the shop. In order to ensure that Zhang Chen would not be disturbed during the inspection, he pulled the wooden door inside and the iron door outside when he came out.

Seeing that he was completely isolated from the outside world, Zhang Chen was stabilized, and he could use expert-level used car identification skills without worrying about being found tricky by others.

Standing in front of Jimny, Zhang Chen urged the expert-level used car identification skills. A long red light appeared in front of his eyes, and after swiping from the front to the rear of the car like a laser scan, countless thoughts instantly appeared in his mind. information.

According to the system prompt, this Jimny is a 2007 1.3L automatic transmission, the formalities are complete, and it can be transferred at any time.

It left the factory in January 2008 and was licensed in February 2009. After the whole car has been painted twice, there are still many slender scratches everywhere. There are traces of sheet metal on the B-pillar and C-pillar on the right side, especially the C-pillar. Although the injured area of ​​the column is not large, the impact is very serious, and the thickness of the paint surface after repair is as high as 917μm.

Replaced valve cover gasket, inner lever, claw, middle grille, water tank frame, front bumper, left and right headlights, fenders.

Crankcase, steering gear, engine oil pan, gearbox oil leakage,

The front wheel bearing has abnormal noise, and the right glass lift cannot be lifted normally.

Generator failure.

…

In the end, the system prompted that the Jimny had experienced a rollover and a crash, and it was a major accident car.

In Huaxia, accident vehicles are divided into four categories.

The first is the "four types of accidents" with only minor scratches.

For example, there is a concrete pier in front of the road that restricts the passage of heavy vehicles, and there is very little space for vehicles to pass through.

This kind of minor accident only needs to be repaired on the paint surface, without sheet metal, and has no impact on the normal use of the car.

Some car owners don't even care about it, they don't care about the scars they cause and don't bother to repair them.

When selling used cars, some car dealers also keep these slight scratches and do not do paint repairs.

The dealers aren't trying to save money, they're trying to show buyers the truth and tell them that the car experienced a very minor accident, no damage to the primer, no damage to vital structural components, and no traces of sheet metal.

On the contrary, if the car dealer deliberately repairs these scratches, after the buyer uses the paint film meter to measure the abnormal value, it will cause the buyer to doubt, question the intention of the car dealer's repair, and guess whether it is trying to cover up some accident.

The light ones use this as an excuse to lower the price, and the heavy ones will ruin a business that was originally a sure thing.

The second situation is a little more serious and is called "three types of accidents".

It is more common that a falling object hits the hood or roof, or two cars rear-end. After a minor collision, the car bumper and other coverings are damaged, and the front and rear headlights are smashed.

These conditions did not hurt the three most important parts of the car and the four beams and six columns. After simple sheet metal or replacement of parts, the main impact on the car is also very small.

The third type of "Type II accident" is much heavier.

For example, a Civic rear-ended a Prado equipped with an "exile hook". The "exile hook" installed by Prado without authorization is very powerful, very cheating, and very domineering. After this series of things all smashed to pieces.

If the impact is more severe, the Civic's front bumper steel beam will also deform and must be replaced.

Components like this that are related to car safety, driving and cooling systems have been damaged, and they must not be taken lightly and must be replaced and repaired in time.

The fourth scenario is the dreaded "Class 1 accident" known as the nightmare of the used car market.

Most of the cars that have a "Class 1 accident" are affected by three large pieces and four beams and six pillars. Like a car with no roof in a blister and a car on fire, normal used car dealers will not accept it, and normal buyers will not buy it. Can give up treatment and go to scrap disintegration as scrap metal recycling.

And some unscrupulous car dealers specialize in purchasing "Class 1 accident cars" and cars with no roof and blisters at low prices.

Rest assured, this kind of car dealer will not repair the received car perfectly, nor will it restore the peak condition of the car. It uses all second-hand parts such as dismantled car parts, but only repairs it to a usable state.

For example, this is the case with the Mercedes-Benz C63507, and the inspectors with a little less skill can't see it.

"Class 1 accident vehicle" has the risk of low metal strength after cutting and welding repair, and it is very easy to break the whole piece in the second impact.

There is also a deviation in the body, which is easy to deviate when driving.

After repair, it cannot fail to reach the original factory standard. There are hidden damages that are not easy to detect in important components such as engine, transmission, and liquid pipeline, which will cause natural and loss of control danger.

In short, do not buy such a repaired model.

The results now detected by the system confirm that the Jimny is a "category class accident".

Not to mention oil leakage, abnormal noise and other faults, the most important thing is that its four beams and six columns have been repaired by collision. If an accident occurs again, the welding and sheet metal parts are very easy to break due to insufficient metal strength. threaten the safety of passengers.

Seeing this, some readers may still not care. They feel that there is not much problem after the repair of the four beams and six-column welded sheet metal. The risk of failure is high.

Don’t have such a fluke mentality. You drive safely, and you can guarantee that you will not hit others, but if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens. Can you guarantee that others will not hit you? Can you guarantee that there will be no accidents during normal driving? Can you guarantee that there will be no accidents?

Many cars were squashed by overturned carts while waiting for traffic lights.

Many cars were hit by boulders that fell from the mountains,

Many cars stall and roll over when cornering.

…

By then, it's too late to say anything.

After Zhang Chen checked the condition of the car, he copied the results on A4 paper, and it took only five minutes.

Just as he turned and walked towards the iron gate to go out, his right foot was hanging in the air.

I suddenly remembered that I can't, and I can't go out now.

Zhang Chen clearly remembered that when Wang Keqiang inspected the car, it took two hours without the bench inspection. What kind of thing would he do if he went out in five minutes?

Turning around and returning to the Jimny, Zhang Chen, who had nothing to do, looked at the car. The information provided by the expert-level used car sales skills came to his mind.

Jimny is an off-road vehicle owned by Suzuki, which entered China in the form of import.

With a maximum power of 62.5kW, a maximum torque of 110N m, a 1.3L naturally aspirated engine, a length of 3665mm, a width of 1600mm and a height of 1705mm, it is a 3-door, 4-seat small SUV.

The 2007 Jimny has very rounded lines and soft contours, not the angular style of Mercedes-Benz G. With the addition of two huge headlights, it seems like the big eyes of a young child, which makes Zhang Chen feel a little bit. Cute.

Looking down from Zhang Chen's point of view, Jimny's middle net was cut into two parts.

The top grille is divided into many small rectangular boxes, much like the grille of the bald eagle country jeep, with the white Suzuki logo inlaid in the middle.

The lower grille and front bumper skin are a little more prominent than the upper grille, unlike Prado, Pajero, and Mitsubishi Pajero. It is estimated to play a protective role in off-road and prevent the water tank behind the grille in the event of a collision, etc. Parts are damaged.

When walking towards the rear of the car, Zhang Chen felt that the Jimny's side design was quite well-regarded and did not stand out in the slightest. Except for the rounded design, it looked square and square like a box, with no sliding back, no floating windows, and no decorative chrome plating. Article, as if everything is practical.

At the back, the first thing that catches the eye is the back-mounted spare tire, which is commonly known as a small schoolbag.

In the past, many models like to carry such small schoolbags, from BAIC, Toyota, to Ford, etc., giving the impression that there is no small schoolbag behind it, it is not an off-road vehicle.

Now it is much less. It is rare to see off-road vehicles adopting a back-mounted spare tire, which is usually hidden in the trunk, while some models with a clear mind put the spare tire under the chassis, such as Nazhi Jieda 7, some car owners even thought that Nazhijie had no spare tire.

The back-mounted spare tire provides the convenience of taking the spare tire in the field environment, which is more convenient, labor-saving and faster than the low-hanging spare tire.

Especially in difficult environments such as mud, puddles, etc., lying on the mud or puddles to get the spare tire under the Nazhijie 7 chassis, how can I feel that it is unreliable, it is a crazy design.

And the external spare tire can save space, you can install an extra fuel tank to make the off-road vehicle mileage longer, or install some more practical items, it is really designed for off-road.

However, the "small schoolbag" has gradually disappeared. Except for some models that stubbornly hang the spare tire at the rear of the car, most other models hide the spare tire.

Whether a technology is eliminated or not mainly depends on the choice of the OEM's interests and the actual pros and cons.

There are many reasons why the back-mounted spare tire is gradually disappearing.

The back-mounted spare tire is hung on the tail door, which increases the weight of the rear door and requires high manufacturing process and material quality of the door.

For example, the production address of Prado is only in Japan and Sichuan Province in China.

The Middle Eastern version of the Prado produced in Japan has a small schoolbag behind it, while the early Chinese Prado did not.

In the early days, the Prado made in China didn't want to hang it, but after hanging a small schoolbag, the door made abnormal noises and deformed. It was slapped in the face by the tragic fact of comparison with the brothers of the same door, and the fan crackled.

From this, it can be seen that there is a huge gap between the early Chinese-made Prado and the Japanese-made Prado, at least in terms of materials and production processes.

In addition, the tailgate of the Qijun is even more rotten and turned into a piece of shit, not to mention hanging a small schoolbag, even if it is not hung up, there are often unbelievable accidents.

In many accident reports, the tailgate of the Qijun had miraculously broken, the phenomenon of falling off with the car body, and the fact that it was hit and flew. Later, everyone knew that the tailgate of the Nissan Qijun was actually made of resin.

One of the biggest defects of resin is that it is easy to break. Once the external force exceeds the bearing capacity of the resin material, it will break and fly away. It will not just deform like metal materials, and it must be replaced and repaired after damage. The price is more expensive.

Exterior parts made of aluminum alloys are used on luxury brand models such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Jaguar, and Land Rover. The resin is cheaper than aluminum alloys. Qijun wants to save money, but it also saves the right place!

With resin as the tailgate, it is not unusual for people to be thrown out after being rear-ended.

Secondly, when off-roading, the vehicle will be bumped to varying degrees, and the spare tire will also pull the tailgate, resulting in deformation of the tailgate, ranging from a creaking noise, to a serious fall of the spare tire, which is really impossible. Keep it safe.

The external spare tire is usually fixed to the back of the car with a few screws, which means that the risk of theft is high, and the owner cannot stare at the car 24 hours a day.

The rear-mounted spare tire also increases fuel consumption and brings wind noise.

This is because the back-mounted spare tire affects air circulation and increases wind resistance.

Putting the spare tire on the bottom of the car or in the car can make the shape of the car more streamlined without being restricted by the spare tire, thereby reducing wind resistance and wind noise.

…

Just looking at the appearance, the Jimny is small and exquisite, but don't underestimate it. It is a hard-core off-road vehicle with a non-load-bearing body. It has the same body structure as Mercedes-Benz Big G, Land Rover, Mitsubishi Pajero's VV7 and other models. Front and rear hard axles, time-sharing four-wheel drive The system and so on make it have a certain status in the hearts of off-road fans, which is even worse than the famous Prado.

A vehicle with a non-load-bearing body is a type of vehicle that combines the chassis frame and the body. This structure is used for heavy trucks and most light trucks.

In the process of a major impact, the shock wave emitted by the chassis frame is usually subjected to the impact, and then transmitted to the car, which is one more process of absorbing and weakening the shock wave than the general load-bearing body. Therefore, in the traffic accident of cars and trucks , usually the damage of the car is much more serious than that of the non-loaded body truck. That's the benefit of having girders.

Also because of its small size,

On the mountain road that Mercedes-Benz Big G can't cross, Jimny can run and gallop.

The dense jungle that Land Rover can't pass through, Jimny can travel freely.

In the fields that the Mitsubishi Pajero can't cross, the Jimny can walk on the ground.

It allows you to take your loved ones to travel the world with swords and read the prosperity of the world!

It can let you stay away from the unbearable world, watch the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court; go and stay unintentional, look at the clouds in the sky.

Staring at the slender scratches on the body of the Jimny in front of him, Zhang Chen speculated that the original owner must have been off-roading a lot, making full use of the Jimny's small and fierce off-road capability, and only leaving such dense branches in the jungle for a long time scratches.

If the general family car has such a paint finish, most of them will think that there are many problems with this car~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But on a **** off-road vehicle, it is normal.

There is a popular saying in the off-road circle: every scar on the off-road body is a symbol of honor.

But as a second-hand car condition evaluation, it can only be honored, and the car condition is the first!

This Jimny rolled over and collided during the off-road process, resulting in damage to the column and the front of the car. According to the definition of an accident car, it was put into the death row of "Class 1 accident car", even if it was repaired, it could not be wanted.

Otherwise, without these fatal accidents,

With the identity of Jimny's off-road vehicles in the price of 200,000, the popular fried chicken,

The sales volume of Jimny is higher than that of Pajero-Jinchang, MUX, Harvard H9 and Tuda.

There is not much lower preservation rate than Prado,

This 2007 model of Jimny, which was released in January 2008 and listed in February 2009, has been sold for 10 years, and it will definitely be sold for 50 to 60 percent of the original price. ( )
