Share one with you today? Test case of Link 03. In Hadron's eyes, Link is a young and trendy brand, which has only been established for four years. Volvo's technical support and Geely's marketing offensive have made great achievements in the past four years, and several online celebrity cars have been launched, which has great momentum to become the light of domestic production. Link did a good job, but Hadron I think it can do better.
As for Ke Ling 03, this is the first time that Ke Ling has introduced it, and it is also the only automobile product at present. Born with the attributes of network celebrity, it has a smart appearance, good face value, more power than Civic, and compact chassis movement. All the advantages are applauded by car owners. Because 20 18 has just entered the market, there are not many sources drifting into the used car market at present, and they are all three years old. The car condition is generally superior, so Hadron has not been tested many times, so I am more interested in this test and willing to share it.
Let me introduce the background to you first. This car is brand new. I learned from the mouth of the big brother that it was a damaged car, but the seller said that the damage of this car was not very serious, and the price was lower than that of a normal new car 1.5 million. Fans are still very excited, but they just don't know what damage the car has. So we were commissioned to do a test to see if the injury was serious or not, and whether it was acceptable.
Start moving bricks, and the basic information of the vehicle will be presented first.
Link 03? 20 19? 1.5TD？ DCT professional edition
Date of manufacture: September 2020
Express mileage: 107 km
Emission standard: national five
Manufacturer's guide price: 148800.
Merchant's quotation: 125800.
Test location: Chongqing
We know that the mileage of new cars is generally very low, but this car 107 km is obviously a bit much, and the price is really cheap, which is equivalent to the price of used cars. So what did it go through? Let's uncover the secret step by step.
The front bumper is painted. Needless to say, everyone must know that this is a trace left by painting, especially this ranging radar. The paint on it has fallen off, so the paint on the original radar will not fall off. The paint shedding ring is soft rubber, and the paint sprayed on it will naturally fall off.
Let's look at the appearance of metallic paint. The original paint value of the Lectra series cars I tested before was generally100-130μ m. At this time, the paint value of the front cover was detected to be 288μm, which was obviously higher than the normal standard, so this part was repaired by painting.
The paint thickness of the upper part of the tire side of the left front fender is less than 100μm, indicating that this is the original car paint, and the left front fender does not seem to be damaged during transportation.
Coming to the position of the left front door, the paint thickness of the left front door is 200 μ m, and it seems that the left front door has also been painted, but it is sprayed thinly.
Appearance paint detection is monotonous and boring, so I won't go into details one by one. After more than 20 minutes of inspection, it was found that all surfaces of the vehicle except the left front fender were painted twice, and the right front fender and roof were repaired with sheet metal to varying degrees. It's incredible, there are so many bumps. Did the trailer have an accident on the road?
Open the lid and look at the cabin. Very clean and brand-new, with no trace of being used. I am used to seeing the old and dirty engine compartment of used cars, and I feel good when I look at new cars! This Lectra 03 is equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder turbine engine, and 180 horsepower is more powerful than the Civic. However, due to the structural reasons of the three-cylinder engine, there will definitely be jitter problems in the later stage, depending on whether the owner can accept it.
The fixing screws on both sides of the hood have no signs of disassembly, and there are no signs of later painting inside. In addition, there is no problem with the external paint surface, so it is judged that the hood is original.
The paint thickness on the top of the shock absorber tower is normal, and the shock absorber screw has not been removed and screwed. It seems that the internal situation of the engine compartment is still very good.
It can be seen that the production date of the left headlight is September 2020, and the fixing screws are not disassembled and twisted; The production date on the right side is 20 19 12, the fixing screws have obvious disassembly marks, and the headlights are also marked by the deputy factory, so it can be inferred that the right front headlight has been replaced. Combined with the repair of the right front fender sheet metal, it can be inferred that the right front bumper is more serious.
The water tank frame, anti-collision beam and lock block are not deformed, welded, disassembled or repaired, and the water tank condenser screws are not disassembled. According to these points, it can be concluded that the right front impact did not cause internal injuries.
The engine valve cover has not been removed, and there is no oil leakage. The engine of the new car just looks very comfortable.
The interior texture of Link 03 is definitely the first echelon at the same level. It uses a lot of soft materials, and the leather sports seat is wrapped very well. The leather stitching in the details can be seen that the workmanship is excellent. In addition, the electronic shift lever and the large-size central control panel also increase the sense of technology in the car.
The seat fixing screws have not been removed, the slide rail is clean and free of sediment, and the carpet below is dry by hand, without peculiar smell and musty smell.
There is no rust and deposit on the steering column. Combined with the inspection results of other parts of the interior such as cigarette lighter, the suspicion of vehicle soaking in water can be ruled out.
The seat belt groove is not rusted, and the production date of the seat belt is correct.
There is no trace of used trunk, spare tire has not landed, jack and other tools are complete. The interior is perfect after inspection, with no traces of wear and tear, which conforms to the characteristics of the new car.
Using OBD computer to test the electronic control system of the whole vehicle, a large number of fault codes appeared. There are so many problems with the car before it is used? Hadron, I guess it may be the reason why the car has not been released from the transportation mode. When transporting from the manufacturer to the 4s shop, the manufacturer will start the transportation mode of the vehicle to avoid leakage during long-term transportation. When the new car is delivered, the 4s shop will close the mode of transportation. However, if you don't buy a car through a 4s shop, the direct manufacturer will not close the mode of transportation, so there will be so many fault codes.
Next is an exciting road test. For the sake of safety, we stipulate that no photos are allowed during the road test. Please fill in the picture of the old driver's racing car! Hadron, let me briefly talk about the road test feeling: 1.5T engine is very strong, the power is really on call, and overtaking is very easy. In addition, its dual-clutch gearbox is relatively smooth, shifting is almost imperceptible, and no abnormal noise is found in the chassis. I have to say that the Lectra 03 is still very exciting to drive.
In the seller's workshop, the shelves are put on for the final inspection of chassis parts. The chassis is also very clean, with almost no dust and dirt. It adopts the suspension configuration of multi-link before McPherson, which is more honest than LaVida Corolla.
Let's look at the front suspension first. In addition to being clean and unclean, there is no trace of disassembly after a round of inspection, which is very regular.
The big screw at the joint of the engine gearbox is the place where the problem can be found most. As long as this position has moved, it means that at least one of the engine and gearbox has moved, but there is no trace of disassembly here at present.
This is where the rear longitudinal beam is connected to the rear impact beam. It can be clearly seen that the fixing screws of the rear anti-collision beam have no traces of disassembly, and the longitudinal beam has no traces of deformation, bending, painting and sheet metal repair in the later period.
All four tires were produced in the same batch in the 35th week of 2020, and the wheels didn't bump, so the car really didn't drive much.
At this point, the inspection of the whole vehicle has been completed. Except the left front fender is the original car paint, all other surfaces have been painted twice, and the right front headlight has also been changed. The vehicle needs to be released from the transportation mode and checked again to confirm the fault code; There is nothing unusual about others; The overall car condition is still very OK. Careful friends may have another question. Since the new car has not been driven much, how can it still have a mileage of 100 km? In fact, this is the number of kilometers generated in the middle after the damaged car is abandoned by the 4S shop or the original buyer and transferred to the auto trade shop or the secondary dealer, plus the process of intermediate maintenance.
I told my fan brother about the car, and he said that he had sprayed so much paint! The headlights have also changed! How did this happen?
The seller on the side said: it's all skin injuries, it's really not serious, and the objects inside are all good! Headlights are fragile and will break at a touch. The Spring Festival is coming, so pay attention to safety all the year round! Hey hey!
Fan: The collision was not serious, but I still feel uncomfortable! This car is almost full!
Seller: Brother, the price can't be lower. Do you think we can give you another gift?
After some bargaining, the big brother asked the seller to apply for more than 800 discounts. The big brother still doesn't forgive, but he just paid the full amount. Is this the real version of saying no, but being honest? Hey hey! In fact, everyone can see that Brother Fan is quite satisfied. Although it is a little defective, it is also a new car that has not been recycled. The price of 654.38+0.2 million is also within Big Brother's expectation. I think Brother Fan must be a generous man. If a customer buys a brand-new car, he will not tolerate damage to the car, painting or replacing headlights. Maybe we'll go to court again. Friends who have bought used cars don't care about these, just give me the price. I think this is also the art of negotiation!
Ok, that's the end of today's test sharing. I am a used car inspection technician who was born as a car inspector. Like it, like it, and spray it if you don't like it. I repair cars more, study less and write poorly. Please forgive me. Car inspector, I would like to be your best friend who knows cars!
