At the same time also pay attention to:
Avoid appearance defects and quality problems existing at the factory, prevent cars from being damaged due to overstock and transportation, and prevent old cars from being rebuilt and refurbished.
The inspection should be carried out in a well-lit place, so that you can see clearly. From the factory to the customer's hands, the vehicle has experienced many links such as transportation, storage, open-air placement, and even sun and rain. In particular, imported cars need to go through land transportation, sea transportation, customs warehouse and other links from the production workshop to the seller, which takes a long time, so be sure to look carefully when buying.
Some cars have technical problems in the manufacturing process, and even some dealers steal columns and renovate old cars to deceive customers. Therefore, when buying a car, you must polish your eyes to prevent leaks.
1, appearance
(1) If you look at the car paint carefully, if you find that the color or thickness of a certain part of the paint surface is inconsistent with the surrounding area, or there are tiny circular scratches, it is mostly caused by repainting after damage.
(2) Check whether the clearance between the front cover, the door and the surrounding frame is even, and whether there is a big difference or a small difference. Open the door as flexibly as possible. Don't open the door too hard, and there should be no noise on the door shaft. Whether the door can be closed in one step, the sound heard when the good car closes is dull, the strength difference is small, the door is not closed tightly, it needs a strong impact to close it, and the sound is sharp and unpleasant.
(3) Carefully check the vehicle accessories, such as batteries, wipers, tires, engine oil and other consumables to see if they are aging.
(4) Check the working conditions of chassis, wheel arch, shock absorber and suspension. You can press the corner of the car body hard by hand, and then look at the number of bounces after releasing it, preferably between 2-3 times.
(5) Check whether there are any repair marks on the engine room and the bottom edge of the car, in case of buying an accident refurbished car. When checking the chassis, you can drive the car into the ditch to facilitate the inspection.
(6) Observe the appearance of the whole vehicle at a distance from the vehicle and browse carefully. For example, whether the height of the car body is symmetrical, whether the windshield is intact, and whether the tires are intact and wear-free.
2. In the car:
(1) The door glass should rise and fall freely, and the sliding window switch should be easy, smooth and well sealed.
(2) All instruments on the dashboard should be complete and effective, not reflective, and not blocked by any objects. Pictograms can be accurately understood and easily identified.
(3) Shake the steering wheel by hand. There should be no gap between up and down, and the left and right free travel should not be too large, so the surface feels good.
(4) The seat surface should be clean and intact, without damage or scratches. The front seat can move back and forth freely, and several positions can be fixed, which is convenient for passengers to choose the right seat freely.
(5) After sitting down, put your hand on the steering wheel and step on the clutch pedal with your left foot, you should feel relaxed and have a short free stroke; Keep a certain height when stepping on the brake pedal with your right foot. If the downward movement is slow, it means that the brake system is leaking. The accelerator pedal should not be stuck, heavy and not return. Put your legs and feet on the accelerator pedal and be comfortable naturally, so as to ensure that you are not tired after long-distance driving.
(6) The softened doors and automobile interior trim panels should be clamped in place and should not be loosened when pushed down by hand.
(7) Open the engine cover, and first check whether the water tank replenishment fluid, cleaning fluid, power steering fluid, lubricating oil and brake fluid are normal. If it is not normal, a leak should be suspected. The appearance of the liquid tank should be clean, free of water marks and oil stains, and the liquid level can be regarded as normal between the highest and lowest scales. The connection between the battery fixing pile head and the electric wire should be reliable and good, and there is no looseness by manual pull.
Check new car program
Buying a car now is mostly a one-stop service. However, you should personally participate in the car purchase process as much as possible, and be aware of it. Don't save trouble, leave everything to the dealer.
(1). Check whether the car is consistent with its nameplate: engine number, frame number, product certificate, and factory date, which are all characteristics that indicate a car's "legal identity". The number on the certificate should be consistent with the engine number and frame number of the car. Judging whether it is a backlog car from the factory date, and knowing the time from production to sales. In addition, models, power, number of seats, engines, etc. Requirements are consistent with the real thing. If there is any discrepancy, it will not only cost money, but also be impossible to go through the formalities of car inspection and licensing in the future.
(2) Check the import documents: When buying imported cars, carefully check the certificate of import goods and the tax bills such as customs duties and value-added tax payable. Otherwise, you will buy an imported car with incomplete procedures. First, the quality cannot be guaranteed. Second, you will not get a license plate because of incomplete import procedures when you apply for a license plate.
4. Test run to understand performance
After the static test is completed, you should further understand the performance of the vehicle and experience it in your own test drive. During the test drive, check the ignition, starting, shifting, acceleration, turning, foot braking, hand braking and the use of vehicle lighting to understand whether the vehicle is running smoothly, quietly and comfortably.
(1) Start the engine, and listen to the speed, including whether the engine starts quickly, whether it runs briskly, continuously and smoothly, and whether there is noise or abnormal sound. Get back in the car, lightly step on the accelerator and feel whether the acceleration response of the engine is continuous. After continuous acceleration, the idle speed should remain stable.
