Among the medium-sized SUVs, the model that is more close to the people than luxury brands must be Ford Sharp. First of all, this model doesn't have to increase the price like Highlander. On the contrary, there are many discounts on online quotation, and it is estimated that there is still a little in the store. Secondly, in terms of safety, the robustness of the chassis is really great, while the competitor Tiguan L at the same level is a little less coquettish at this point. At the same time, the interior of this car is full of science and technology, giving people who buy it a feeling of making money. Friends who just want to buy this car suggest buying a used car. Although the new car offers great benefits, the depreciation is not low.
Today, the client I commissioned Tianbao Test wants to buy a medium-sized SUV. At first, he planned to buy a luxury brand, but his business needed liquidity, so his budget was not very high. Secondly, he personally said that he didn't want to buy a car, because he didn't want to go to the construction site or anything, so he didn't want to buy Highlander. Volkswagen's model felt the same way, so he finally decided to buy a second-hand Ford Sharp.
The customer said that he wanted to see an Changan Ford Sharp at first. As a result, his wife saw some comments on the Internet that the quality of Changan Ford Sharp was not so good, and she had to buy imported ones. Then he went to several car dealers and found one. Ford Sharp (imported)? 20 12? 2.0T？ Zunrui model, factory date: 20 13. 12, initial registration: 20 14.5, apparent mileage: 83,000 km, new car guide price: 356,800, seller's quotation:136,800.
Friends who drive Sharp should know that this car was not called Sharp before, but called Love Tiger. The imported model 12 has been discontinued now. At that time, it basically landed at around 4 1 10,000. It is said that there is no discount for imported models, but now it is estimated that it will cost about 400,000 to buy a new car. This gap gives people a feeling that the hero is over. However, I have to say that buying this car second-hand is really cost-effective. Depreciation of about 280,000 in 6 years! This degree, this copper smell, when can I enjoy Tianbao? However, I still don't understand one thing: since it is much cheaper to buy Changan Ford for Sharp, the quality is not much different. Why bother?
No matter whether it is imported or made in China, Hello Kitty still loves tigers. As long as it is detected that it is not a paper tiger: Tianbao, I walked around the car first and found that the front bumper was scratched by paint, the rear bumper was painted, the right back door was slightly dented and deformed, and the front windshield was replaced. Later, I had to pay attention to the reason for the replacement, whether it was caused by flying stones or frontal impact; The specific paint surface and the specific car condition have to be further tested, and the paint film tester is taken out to start testing.
Whether the machine cover is replaced by sheet metal painting due to accidental impact, and whether the machine cover is repaired again due to friction in the later period, it is further judged by combining the fixing screws and edge glue seams of the machine cover. Write it down first, and then see if there is a substitute.
The value of the left front door has skyrocketed, and it has been repaired by sheet metal. See if there is any big problem in it. Then I opened the door, looked at the fixing screws and glue wires, and judged whether the door had been replaced.
Then we will look at the obvious long-term repeated closure wear marks on the B-pillar; And Tianbao, I opened other doors and looked at the doorbolt. Changed four doors!
This car just started testing, and you want to bluff me? Is this still 80 thousand kilometers of wear and tear? Are you kidding? Is it like the crowd next door, closing the door sounds good? The car door can stand people, and the owner can stand on the car door and play when it is closed. Generally, after more than 6,543,800 tests, normal household use will not be damaged for 7 years and 80,000 kilometers. This car has a high probability of adjusting its watch, and then we will look at other wear and tear and find other evidence.
Here is the right rear fender of the vehicle: more than 2000, and it is obviously painted. After the inspection of the paint surface of the whole vehicle, the body panel was painted in many places, and the kilometer was in doubt. There is something wrong with the glass replacement. See if you can find the answer on the next inspection.
After the vehicle appearance inspection, I came to the engine room. This imported Ford Sharp model 12 is equipped with a 2.0T engine, which can output 243 horsepower and the maximum power is 179. These data directly accelerate the car's 100 kilometers to 9.33 seconds, and you don't have to worry about the soft underbelly of this car when driving! However, there is a headache that the fuel consumption of this car is a bit fierce, and the longer the car is driven, the more minor problems there will be, so pay more attention.
There is no abnormality in the screws of the cover, and it can be inferred that it is the original cover by combining the welding points around the glue edge and the paint value. Combined with no deformation of A-pillar and welded sheet metal, it can be inferred that the replacement of front windshield may be caused by flying stones.
No abnormality is found in the fixing screws of fenders on both sides, the solder joints of fender brackets are uniform and regular, and the paint film value is normal.
The date of the water tank rack is 13 1 1 month, which is consistent with the date of vehicle delivery; The possibility of a major accident ahead can basically be ruled out.
There are removal marks on the fixing screws of the engine and gearbox bracket: damaged or replaced? 80,000 kilometers will not be damaged at the same time, and the mileage of side evidence is abnormal. Whether there is lifting decomposition maintenance, it needs to be put on the chassis for testing, to see if the rear bracket is disassembled, and to further determine;
Then the accessories around the engine were tested, and it was found that the generator belt was aging, the three-way water pipe was re-glued and replaced, and the bonnet gasket leaked oil in many places.
Then check the vehicle oil and battery: the oil level is ultra-low lower limit! Need to inject oil as soon as possible! The battery life is 37%, and the water content of brake oil is too high, so it should be replaced in time. The engine room has been checked, and the overall situation is very bad. Although American cars have many minor faults, the engine room of this car is not like 80 thousand kilometers at all. Is the oil level too low? Just let the cows run and keep them from eating grass? The previous owner simply squeezed out the last bit of water!
After checking the engine room, check the vehicle interior: the main driver's seat and headrest have collapsed, and the left A-pillar decorative panel has obvious burn damage. The overall wear degree of the interior doesn't look like a car with only over 80,000 kilometers.
Attention, everyone, look at the picture: the steering wheel is peeling again, so it is impossible to observe the wear state. The gear lever is worn, Explosicum!
The wear of the control pedal is not clear. Can you step on it and play? The suspicion of changing watches this time is getting bigger and bigger. We continue to look down. What will happen?
Start the vehicle, the instrument can't see the fault indicator light, connect the OBD interface and read the internal data of the vehicle. OBD has a persistent fault code, which may be a radar probe fault and needs further maintenance. Because this car can't read the mileage from the gearbox module, it can't get the actual mileage accurately at present, but don't think that Tianbao has no choice! Looking down, you can't help but think of those two words (in the comments section if you know them)!
When I was looking for other methods to check, I read the odometer reading of the last tire pressure warning from other control modules, which was obviously 208295km. The mileage of this car is at least 265,438+00,000 km. Let's go!
When I was ready to inform the customer, it was obvious from the maintenance record sent by the customer service lady that I had run about 200 thousand km in five years! It is cruel enough that the replacement of the plug and the lower limit of the oil level can be reasonably explained. What did this car do? Sometimes it's scary to think that sellers' watches are usually half-toned. It's almost from 1.5 million km on the second floor, but this car goes directly to the atmosphere!
Because customers told us when they came to us for testing before, the standard of buying a car is not to have an accident car or a bubble car, and the defects are acceptable. The meter adjustment of used cars is acceptable, but it is unacceptable if the meter adjustment is too serious. So then Tianbao sent a message to the customer who was chatting with the dealership sales brother, explaining the situation of this car. The customer didn't look at the phone at first, so I continued to test. About a few minutes later, the customer came up to me and asked about the situation. I showed some vehicle evidence to the customers. The customer is not calm after reading it, and the sound and feeling of left hand friction can be heard. I guess it's because the seller didn't tell the customer about it when he looked at the car before.
Next, we can get a general understanding of the situation after brain repair. First, the customer's big brother yelled at the car dealer's sales mobile phone. The sales eldest brother also explained that he didn't buy this car, and the car shop had a appraiser who bought it specially, so he didn't know about it either. But later, he said that if the customer's eldest brother still wants to buy it, he can apply to their boss for a cheaper price, but the customer looks very unhappy and doesn't consider buying this car. Finally, the customer pulled me out of the garage.
Tianbao has tested a lot of cars, and some sellers have not informed customers after adjusting the mileage, and some have informed them in advance. No matter how the buyers and sellers end up, Tianbao wants to win the world with integrity. What do you think? However, if the car is in good condition, the mileage will be about 654.38 million. In fact, it's ok to buy a car of around 65,438+065,438+0.5 million. After all, it is imported, but the condition of the car is a bit linked to the actual mileage. How much do you think this car is worth? At the same time, if the second-hand Highlander, Tiguan L and Sharp are in front of you, which one would you choose?
Ok, that's the end of today's test sharing. I'm Tianbao, the used car inspector. We are testing used cars, and it is inevitable that there will be some wearing parts in daily use. We can't treat them like new cars, but we should pay more attention to the condition of the car itself and its cost performance.
