Of course, after contacting the fans, I also contacted some basic information of the fans. Fans are the owners of a photography studio. Recently, in order to facilitate the studio to go out to shoot, I am going to buy a work car. I took a fancy to this popular Dongfeng Lingzhi V3, with simple and smooth body lines and elegant body colors. From a distance, it gives people a generous and comfortable feeling, fashionable front face design and full business style.
Thanks to the design of Lingzhi V3 ultra-wide sliding door and spacious trunk door, cameras, wide-angle lenses, lighting equipment, aerial photography equipment, portable tracks and rocker arms, camera stabilizers and other shooting equipment, as well as luggage and daily necessities can be easily put into the car. It is by virtue of this large space advantage beyond its peers that Ganoderma lucidum V3 really provides an efficient solution for our entrepreneurial group to open up sources and reduce expenditure, compared with other "oil tigers".
That's why the customer said he chose this car. It can be seen that fans really understand the details. Of course, fans also said: Although I can learn so much, it's up to you to buy a used car after all, and the condition of the car is also very important! Xiaodong, I said, don't worry about the car condition. You must read it carefully and clearly. Ok, let's start today's test!
The car to be tested today is a 20 16 Dongfeng Lingzhi V3 with a mileage of 47,445. The car is 20 15, 1 1 month, and now the seller offers 32,000 yuan.
Test location: Fuzhou, Fujian.
Xiaodong has seen everything from Ferrari to van. To tell the truth, I'm tired of seeing luxury cars often. Occasionally, ordinary cars are more comfortable, simple in structure and easy to check. Mainly, I can also explore ahead of time to buy myself a car. It's time to replace my beloved scooter! hahaha
Xiaodong first tested the paint value of the big top, and the value of the big top was between 100 and 130. However, the reference value of the paint surface is set within this range. The numerical value of the machine cover is normal, and no trace of sheet metal painting is found. Then Xiaodong continued to test the paint values of the rest of the coverage.
At first, the face value of the paint was measured and no abnormality was found. Are within the normal range. When testing the rear tail cover, it was found that the value of the rear tail cover was between 40 and 50, which was lower than the normal paint value. In this case, don't think that the rear tail cover must be replaced. Take a look at the screws of the rear tail cover for a while.
There are many scratches on the paint. There is a small pit on the left front door and the left rear fender. I think I was hit by a small stone. If it is to be repaired, it needs painting. The cost of drawing a face is about 300 to 500. But Xiaodong doesn't recommend repairing it. After all, it is normal for used cars to bump into each other, and such cars are not expensive.
The gap in the front bumper is a little big, which is obviously not in line with the fender. It can be judged that it was modified later. After all, the original car will not have this kind of problem, unless some parts modified later are not original, so there will be assembly problems. Uneven cracks were also found in the same rear bumper, so it can be inferred that the rear bumper was replaced. Next, let's look at the engine room.
The seller cooperated to open the engine room. At this time, the seller came over and asked about the paint. Xiaodong thought that the customer would talk about the price later, so he didn't disclose it. He just said that he would read it later. The engine room is a little dirty, and the seller must feel that it is unnecessary to clean it. After all, this car is not a luxury car.
Let's look at the engine again. There is no trace of disassembly of the screws of the local accessories of the engine. Only slight oil leakage was found in the valve cover, and the gasket needs to be replaced if it is repaired. The cost of replacement is probably around 300 yuan. If it is not repaired, it will not have much impact on the car. After all, the oil leakage is not serious, as long as you pay attention later.
The loss of antifreeze is severe, far below the next cutting line. The general standard of antifreeze is between the top and bottom lines, preferably at the top line. If the loss is serious, it is necessary to check whether the engine leaks antifreeze, and then further repair the leaked part. However, if there is no water leakage at the top, it will be more obvious to lift the chassis later. It is suggested to add antifreeze in time.
Xiaodong carefully checked the frame screws measured in the net through the gap. Although the screws are stained with dust, it can be seen that they have not been disassembled, which can rule out a major accident at the front of the car body.
The production date of the whole vehicle window glass is around 15, but it is found that the date is around 17 when testing the rear windshield. Apparently, it was replaced later. The seller admitted that it was sunburned, so he replaced it with a new one, but Xiaodong guessed in his heart that something had happened at the back of the car, because the tail cover at the back was also changed later, so he had to think of it.
Opening the tailgate, Xiaodong climbed into the car. It was found that the screw of the rear tail cover had been removed and the surface of the screw had been painted. Obviously, this is because the screws have been tightened. Combined with the previous paint inspection, further confirm the replacement of the rear tail cover.
Xiaodong also took advantage of the seller's inattention and pulled open the adhesive tape inside the backboard. Some traces of welding were found, and some solder joints were rusted, probably because the car was not expensive, so it was simply welded and not painted. Welding is nothing more than replacing the rear fender. According to the standard, this car is defined as an accident car. Combined with the previous detection, it can be judged that there is an accident at the rear of the car body. Let's look inside the car again.
There is a seat missing in the back row, which may be because the seller didn't come to install it after pulling the goods and disassembling them. Even the seats in the last row were loose and not fixed, so they were put on. But this kind of car is bought to pull goods, and the seat will be removed.
The cover plate of the seat belt buckle won't buckle. It should be broken due to frequent disassembly, so it can't be closed. The seat belt fixing screw at the lower part of the cover plate has no trace of disassembly. Xiaodong checked the date of the seat belt again, and it was 15. Confirm that the original factory has not replaced it.
Xiaodong leaned his head against the steering column again and found no signs of rust. Bian Xiao continued to check the inside of the lighter and the lower part of the seat, and found no signs of blisters rusting. Next, let's take a look at the function buttons in the car.
The glass lifting and air conditioning functions are normal, but the reversing image is blurred when reversing. The seller said it should be caused by the dust on the camera. However, Xiaodong thinks that the camera of the reversing image is broken. No dirt was found on the camera before the test. The cost of replacing the camera is probably around 500 yuan, but for the old driver, it doesn't need maintenance at all.
Then Xiaodong tried the lamp again and found that the left front fog lamp didn't work, and the right front fog lamp was fine. According to Xiaodong's experience, the bulb of the left front fog lamp is broken, so we only need to change the bulb, and the replacement cost is around 30 yuan. Then look at the chassis.
Due to the conductor, the nearby repair shop was closed due to the epidemic, and Xiaodong could only drill under the car to test the chassis. Fortunately, Xiaodong is thin and slippery. It looks regular in the distance.
Xiaodong carefully checked the various pipelines of the engine and found no traces of antifreeze leakage. According to the normal situation, if it leaks, you can see the trace from the ground. Xiaodong checked the engine and gearbox, and found no oil leakage, and there was no trace of disassembly and overhaul. Let's look at the back of the car again.
The skeleton at the rear of the car body is deformed. Although the backboard was replaced, the inner skeleton was still deformed and twisted. No deformation marks were found on the longitudinal beams on both sides. Chassis rust is also serious, which is related to the parking environment. After all, this kind of car is not expensive, and there is not much time to park in the basement. Many times, there are many cases of open-air parking.
Xiaodong checked the hub again, and there was friction in the hub. I think I accidentally grazed on the side of the road. Then let's look at the tire wear.
The two rear tires are close to the safety line and need to be replaced after they are bought back, otherwise it is easy to puncture at high speed. It will seriously affect driving safety. The cost of tire replacement is about 1000 yuan. Then it's time for the road test. According to company regulations, the seller drives the whole car. Xiaodong felt good in the car, the chassis didn't hear abnormal noise, and the driving was smooth. Finally, look at OBD.
Xiaodong connects the Bluetooth connector to check the engine data flow. Everything is normal, nothing unusual is found. The detection of this small matter will come to an end. The overall condition of the car is not very good. This car is defined as an accident car according to company standards, and there is an accident at the rear. The tailgate has been cut and replaced. Rear tailgate and rear windshield replacement. There is not much paint on the whole car. If you want to buy it, you need to replace two rear tires when you go back. Replace the oil filter. The approximate maintenance cost is about 2000 yuan.
After all the cars were tested, the fans also learned all the car conditions. The fans said they wanted to talk to the seller to see what caused the back to be cut, and told Xiaodong to pack up and go back first. When the fans went to understand the situation, the seller also admitted that there was an accident at the rear of the car, saying that it was hit when reversing. The customer doesn't mind the accident very much, considering that the accident before and after the engine will not affect the engine gearbox, so he also wants to buy it. So I soaked the soft film with the seller for a long time and cut off 3000 pieces. Then the seller and the customer go to transfer the ownership. This little thing's mission is over.
Incidentally, I also looked at the market situation of this car, which is basically similar to the seller's quotation. And the final transaction price is also a price that both parties are satisfied with, and the final transaction is made. Although the customer said that the conditions of the car were acceptable, Xiaodong felt that when buying a car, everyone should know their own needs and budget. Buying a used car is not buying a new car. Vehicles generally have minor and major problems. Adjust your mentality before buying, so as not to really see the car condition when the gap is too big, which will affect your car buying experience and judgment.
