My Years As a Car Dealer

Chapter 0193: Three-cylinder Chevrolet Cruze

Song Wei, who was despised by everyone again, took a long time to find the opportunity to speak, and said timidly: "I also thought about doing a used car inspection, but when I asked about the inspection fee of 2,000, I didn't want to spend it. .

At that time, I was greedy for the price. After I received the car, I drove it for a few days and felt that the body vibrated a little when idling. Even if no other problems were created, I was afraid. It cost 80,000 yuan, in case the car broke my hand. Inside, my whole family drank the northwest wind. "

Song Wei couldn't hold back his emotions, and finally began to cry in a low voice.

Unexpectedly, the surroundings became quiet and secret, and the car dealers who mocked Song Wei just now didn't say anything.

Everyone is a peer, and they are also in the used car industry. Not to mention that those small car dealers have similar feelings about Song Wei's situation, they can understand his current difficulties.

Even those relatively large car dealers sympathize with Song Wei. Their business is not as big as it was from the beginning. They also start from renting parking spaces. Some of them are even worse than Song Wei's conditions. Footprints develop little by little.

"Mr. Zhang, test Song Wei's Chevrolet Cruze. I'll pay for the test fee." A car dealer standing next to him had red eyes. Song Wei's experience reminded him of his own business Hard, painful to die.

"Thank you Brother Liu, thank you Brother Liu." Song Wei recognized the identity of the car dealer who sponsored him aloud, and thanked him again, but he rejected everyone's kindness, "No, I have seen Zhenghong Second-hand The charging standard of the car inspection center is unexpectedly cheap.”

"Uh..." He kindly helped, this Song Wei also refused to pay all the labor and capital, and the car dealer Song Wei respectfully called Brother Liu was a little unexcited. Brother quickly thought about it and responded, Zhang Chenzhenghong's used car inspection center has an outrageous low fee, the Chevrolet Cruze is a class car, and the inspection fee is only 400 Huaxia coins. Of course, Song Wei can easily burden him. What's the use of worrying about yourself?

"Hehehe." Brother Liu scratched his scalp embarrassedly and stepped back, not wanting to delay Zhang Chen's inspection.

Before the opening ceremony, the security guards led by Wang Shanhe distributed flyers, and everyone clearly remembered that the flyers clearly stated the testing and charging standards for all types of vehicles.

Zhenghong's used car testing center's charges can no longer be conscientious, and it can be easily absorbed by everyone.

After a burst of admiration from the crowd, everyone voluntarily gave the first place to Song Wei, urging Zhang Chen to arrange a test for the master.

"Okay." Zhang Chen stretched out his hand to unbutton the suit. He also wanted to see how the new Chevrolet Cruze was doing, so he prepared to test Song Wei in person.

"Wait." Who knew that before Zhang Chen could speak, Wang Keqiang next to him grabbed his arm and lowered his voice prompting, "You have handed over the Zhenghong Used Car Testing Center to Zhao Yishou. , don't go overboard and let Zhao Yi take care of it."

Wang Keqiang reminded Zhang Chen that he is the boss now, and he must have the heart of the boss. What kind of thing is rushing to work with employees in everything?

What do other bosses and bosses think of you?

"How can there be so much attention?" Zhang Chen has never regarded himself as a boss. It is normal to take off his suit and go to work!

Wang Keqiang's old face darkened in an instant, and he ignored Zhang Chen. After turning around and greeting Zhao Yishou politely, he asked him to arrange a manpower to quickly inspect this Chevrolet Cruze for Song Wei.

"Come with me." Zhao Yishou also wanted to help Song Wei, so he greeted him and his two apprentices and walked to the Cruze parked in the distance.

Wuyang Wuyang's crowd followed Zhao firmly, and behind Song Wei and the others, they walked arduously across the sea of ​​cars to the Chevrolet Cruze parked at the gate.

Many people are seeing this Cruze for the first time, and they don't know his specific performance, nor do they know what advantages, common problems and faults he has.

Just as everyone was looking at Keluzewei curiously, Wang Nan, the receptionist at Zhenghong Used Car Testing Center, had already held the testing contract and greeted Song Wei to go through the formalities.

Song Wei has a million trust in Zhao Yishou, and 10 million trust in Zhenghong Used Car Testing Center. He didn't even read the contract. Ma Liu signed and paid the money. Five minutes later, he was excited with the double payment receipt. ran back.

Zhao Yishou asked for the yellow documents according to the procedure, and asked Song Wei to save the red documents, and then called the two apprentices to start work.

This time it was Zhao Yishou who came out in person. I saw that he didn't need a paint film meter. He first circled around Cruze slowly, and only inspected it with the naked eye.

It's just that there are too many car dealers around, which squeezes the water around Cruze. There are also car dealers who keep opening the closed car doors and the trunk, making noises, which seriously affects Zhao Yishou's performance. Work made him very unhappy.

Zhang Chen saw that Zhao was in a fit of rage, and his disposition to rush people could not achieve any effect, so he had an idea and shouted at everyone: "Whose cars are on the road? Hurry up and queue up to pay, it's late today No more testing."

"Yes, I'm here to test the car, not to see the enthusiasm." In an instant, many car dealers came to their senses and immediately began to shout agitatedly. The crowd rushed to the office hall of Zhenghong Used Car Testing Center like a swarm. , often looking for the receptionist and the accountant to sign a contract and pay the money.

In the blink of an eye, half of the crowd was reduced, and Zhang Chen finally had a chance to see the true face of this Chevrolet Cruze.

Zhao continued to circle around the Chevrolet Cruze with one hand. With the red light in front of him scanning from the front of the car to the rear of the car, Zhang Chen had completed all the inspection work within a few seconds.

Countless information poured into Zhang Chen's mind, Zhang Chen knew that this Chevrolet Cruze was the top model, and there were really active and fun versions, dual-clutch straight versions, dual-clutch happy versions, and manual euphoric versions.

These names are like a joke, and they are a bit less than the names of certain models, but Zhang Chen feels more down-to-earth and easier to remember.

The black Chevrolet Cruze 2019 r330 active happy version in front of me has a body length of 4630 mm, a width of 1798 mm, a height of 1485 mm and a wheelbase of 2640 mm. Both the body size and the wheelbase are between the Cruze and the Kovos. between.

As a sedan and five-door compact model, the price difference of the 4-store leader of this active happy version is less than 120,000 yuan, and it is estimated that it will land in the early 130,000 yuan.

Later, Zhang Chenjin happened to take a walk to the Chevrolet 4 store, only to know that the Chevrolet 4 store is very bad. This car is not like Jaguar, Cadillac, the main engine factory has huge discounts, not only a penny, but also imposed in the 4 store. For decoration, buy insurance in the store, and some even want to pay in full, and have to pay in installments.

After adding decorations and buying insurance, you can understand that Zhang Chen despised this kind of forced instalment, just to earn more expenses, which is almost the same as a robber.

Looking from the front of the car, in terms of exterior design, the most eye-catching symbol is the **** mouth of its new family-style design language, which is a bit like the new Audi 6, but it looks like the air intake grille of the new Audi 6 has been stolen by someone. It looks like the palm is flattened, and the whole extends to the left and right sides, and the shape is narrow and long.

Above the black mouth-style air intake grille is a shiny chrome trim strip, and the Chevrolet sanitary napkin logo in the middle has changed from traditional gold to black.

The black car logo, with the black body and the black air intake grille, make the whole car look a little black.

Generally speaking, cars that dare to dress up are very conceited and bad. For example, a BMW 3's smoky makeup can make a man's adrenaline soar, and whoever dares to smash the accelerator on the street will directly blast it out of shit. .

But Cruze's 0-00 in 8.4 seconds is really lacking in confidence. Even the **** 63507 running at the speed of the first 400 meters can push it down and rub it on the ground, not to mention those 2.0 small steel cannons. One, they are only looking for abuse.

The split air intake grille on the front face of the Cruze has distinct layers. The upper air intake is long and narrow, and the long and narrow headlights on both sides are connected together. The multiple sets of light strips in the interior delineate the distinct layers of high and low beams. After the light is bright, the eyesight is sharp.

The fog light areas on both sides have a three-dimensional effect to match the air intake, making the whole more compact.

Compared with Lei Ling, which only has the high-end version with headlights, Cruze's conscience can no longer be conscientious. From the lowest-equipped manual euphoric version to the highest-equipped active happy version, all the standard headlights at such a low price are standard. An industry role model.

Going to the side, on the side of Cruze, except for a circle of black trims around the sloping column, which makes the integration effect of the windows stronger, the rest of the place is simple, and the designer is not careful. There is no beauty at all, the grandfather's Sonata 8 in the Four Seas dealership is a hundred times prettier than it.

At the back, the three-dimensional headlights are penetrated by a bright trim strip, which has a strong sense of layering. The upturned duck tail makes it look more sporty in many family-class sedans, and it has the temperament of a beautiful moon car. .

The interior design of Cruze is also dominated by black, with small red stitches embellishing the edges, which looks very comfortable. It not only greatly improves the quality of the interior of the car, but also shows the exquisiteness of the interior design. Created a sporty atmosphere.

The center console of the Cruze is still simple and still has a strong Chevrolet flavor.

With a 7-inch central control screen, the setting of the screen position is also more ergonomic, and there is no need to lower the head to operate, which greatly improves the safety.

The central control is GM's own + system. After logging in to the account on the same system, the owner can log in and operate synchronously, which is highly playable.

In addition, the instrument of the Cruze is actually a rare LCD display at this level. The embedded design complements the cylindrical instrument panel and exudes a good smell of technology.

The three-spoke circular steering wheel is solemn and solid, making the interior of the car more stylish by blending the smell of technology with the smell of sports.

"Tire pressure monitoring, child seats, brake support, stable body control, cruise control... Cruze's configuration doesn't have a lot of bright spots, but it's worthy of the price." Zhang Chen's evaluation of Cruze was very good, and he added: Back to the problem Song Wei encountered - body shaking.

There are many reasons for the body shake, such as excessive carbon deposition, ignition system, fuel supply system, resonance problems and many other situations can cause this phenomenon.

For example, if the body of Volkswagen models vibrates, generally speaking, the throttle valve needs to be cleaned.

The body of some models of the Japanese series vibrates, and the first consideration is to clear the carbon deposits in the engine.

As for the body shake of the Cruze, Zhang Chen has a car dealer system, and he went through the materials in his mind. Zhang Chen quickly found the reason. This Cruze has no mechanical failure. Its 1.3 three-cylinder engine is caused by its own root causes.

When it comes to three-cylinder engines, I have to say those classic twelve-cylinder, eight-cylinder, and six-cylinder models that were once brilliant.

The BMW 7-series with a zero-hundred 3.7 seconds, the Grand Cherokee r8, Audi r6, and American muscle cars that can run in five seconds, even the Phaeton has 12 cylinders.

The sound of the engine over the New Nordschleife has not completely dissipated. Today's world has changed. Whether it is in China or abroad, all focus on energy conservation and emission reduction, and want to eliminate all large-displacement models.

For the sake of environmental protection, for world peace, and to contribute to the living environment of all human beings, countries around the world have issued timetables, assuming that all fuel engines used in automobiles will be eliminated in a certain year and month, and replaced with hydrogen energy vehicles or pure electric vehicles. .

However, due to immature skills and imperfect supporting facilities, the elimination of fuel engines can only be a dream, and it has even become a means for some people to defraud "funds".

However, the general trend is that as countries focus on fuel efficiency, emissions, and environmental protection policies are tightened, major OEMs are anxious for world peace, for energy conservation and emission reduction, and for their own money.

On the one hand, many luxury cars such as Audi 8, 7, BMW 5, 7 series, etc. began to gradually abandon twelve-cylinder, and eight-cylinder and six-cylinder began to use four-cylinder engines.

Many large-displacement models were forced to stop production, and even some best-selling models were brutally murdered, such as Land Cruiser, Prado and so on.

After four generations of Mitsubishi Pajero, it also officially announced that it will withdraw from the Japanese market and will no longer develop successor models.

What is there to compete with Patrol, Prado, etc. if there is no replacement? Total annihilation is not far away.

On the other hand, major OEMs began to develop three-cylinder engines.

BMW's domestic 1 Series, 1, Honda Civic, Chevrolet, Buick, Volkswagen, Toyota, and many domestic brands have also tried to carry three-cylinder engines.

More aggressive ones, such as the BMW Supercar 8, have also become three-cylinder.

The most thorough popularization of three-cylinder is Ford's new Focus, all models have been equipped with replacement.

According to the current trend, it is believed that three-cylinder engines will no longer be a new thing in the near future. It is time for riders to discuss how fast the two-cylinder engine can run?

From twelve cylinders, eight cylinders, six cylinders to four cylinders, and from four cylinders to three cylinders.

One less four cylinders is one less. For the sake of all mankind, car owners can only hold their noses.

Moreover, after the sacrifice of countless guinea pig owners, the skills of the three-cylinder continue to mature, and the power and driving experience are not necessarily worse than those of the four-cylinder, but the inherent idle jitter of the three-cylinder engine is more obvious than that of the four-cylinder engine. problems that cannot be hidden.

Cruze's jitter is the root cause of this innate problem, and it is a common problem that all three-cylinder engines cannot solve at present.

Zhang Chen concluded that the Cruze had no mechanical failure, and found the real cause of its body shaking. Zhao Yishou's second-hand car inspection had just begun, and it was worthy to check the paint and cover parts.

Under the scorching sun above his head, Zhao's hands and forehead were covered in sweat, big drops of sweat trickled down his cheeks, and his snow-white shirt was soaked. The apprentice Zhang Pandeng, who was waiting for the test results to be recorded with the folder in his hand, said, "The paint surface is intact and there is no sheet metal..."

"Well." Zhang Pandeng nodded, recorded the corresponding position in the test report, and then opened the engine compartment for Zhao.

Zhao Yishou took out a small flashlight from his trousers pocket, lay down in the engine compartment and began to check the situation inside.

Zhang Chen took out his mobile phone for more than ten minutes, and then turned to look at the boundless car parked on the road. He was a little anxious. Although Zhao Yishou's detection was correct, the speed was too slow. He wanted to test everything today. The vehicle is simply an impossible task.

The working process of Zhenghong Used Car Inspection Center is the same as that of other inspection companies. Generally, the exterior paint and sheet metal are inspected first, and then inspected from the outside to the inside, or from front to back, in order to ensure that there is no negligence or omission.

Zhao Yishou chose the order from front to back, inspected the engine compartment, asked Zhang Pan to register the results, and then carried out detailed inspections such as the interior trunk at the back, and concluded that there was no major accident, no blisters and fires, and no adjustment of the watch. After waiting, the chassis was tested, etc., and finally the road test was done. The time has passed for two hours.

Zhang Pandeng filled out the test report, stamped with Zhao Yishou's personal seal, and handed a copy to Song Wei, a customer who was anxiously waiting for the results.

After receiving the test report that still smelled of ink, Song Wei carefully checked the results with trembling hands.

Many car dealers slammed the water around Song Wei, and countless big heads and small heads came together. They were silent and no one made a sound, but their heads swayed constantly with the transfer of eyesight.

The engine is ok,

The gearbox is ok,

There is no oil leakage in the oil circuit.

…

Looking at the test results one by one, Song Wei nervously mentioned that the vigilant liver in his throat slowly returned to his stomach, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"It's all normal, no ills at all."

According to the jargon of the car dealers, it is the original original paint, the car is in peak condition, the air conditioner is frozen, the hair becomes invincible, and it will fly when you give it oil.

The results were all joyous, and the crowd filled with laughter. Song Wei held the test report in his hands like a flower, and the rest of the car dealers patted his shoulders and congratulated him loudly.

"Thank you~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Thank you." Concluding that he would not pay for the pants, Song Wei's eyes slowly became wet, and while thanking him, he suddenly remembered the doubt in his heart, "The body of this Cruze is shaking. What's the reason? The test report didn't say it."

Looking at Song Wei's confused eyes, Zhang Pandeng replied with a smile: "Our teacher and apprentice have discussed it, and we think that the body jitter when idling in place is a common problem inherent in three-cylinder engines, and there is no need to record it in the test report."

"Oh, the three-cylinder engine!"

"Old Zhao Liu cheating, this can be seen."

"I'm convinced, I'm convinced."

…

There was a burst of admiration from the crowd, and everyone was completely convinced of the strength of Zhenghong Used Car Testing Center.

Those car dealers who have paid the test fees are even eager to try, eager to know the test results of the cars they have brought. The latest chapter of the novel I was a car dealer Chapter 0193: Three-cylinder Chevrolet Cocoluze Website: https://
