Bentley sales sends text messages

Hello, everyone, the old driver of the car inspection has met with you again. I am Tathagata. As a used car inspector, I can always see all kinds of cars and meet all kinds of people every day! Test in Shanghai this time? Bentley's flying, let me see some gray things in the used car industry, and share them for your reference.

Many people will meet an intermediary when they buy a used car. Of course, this group is still very strong, holding all kinds of used car resources and customer resources! Today's test was invited by the intermediary. Let's call him Brother Song San for the time being. I didn't know Song Sange was a used car agent in advance, because he told us that he had helped his friend find a Bentley speeding car, and his friend didn't worry about the car condition before he found us. Later, it was discovered that the relationship between Song Sange and his friends was not so close. Let's talk about the test first!

I have an appointment with Song Sange at nine o'clock in the morning. When I got to the garage, I contacted him and learned that his friend had not got up yet, and the exam was postponed until ten o'clock. When I was a child, I had to wait for them at the guard booth. While waiting, a man came up and said, hello, brother, did you say the exam? I am in charge here, and there is nothing wrong with this Bentley. I told Song Sange that we are old acquaintances, don't worry! This is our test report. Please have a look at it first, and then you can write a report based on it. At the same time, I took a pile of money and stuffed it into my pocket. I took a look and said there was 2000 yuan.

For me who haven't seen so much cash for a long time, it's really tempting to stare for a few seconds and lick my saliva! But reason reminds me that this is a matter of principle related to professional ethics! I said to the man: no, no, I can't accept it! In case something goes wrong with this car, the customer will hold me responsible. I can't afford such an expensive car! Also, if our boss finds out that an inspector has been bought, he will be severely punished! So, you can't accept this money!

After refusing the person in charge, I waited for more than forty minutes! Finally, I waited for Song Sange and his friends who were late. After a short communication, I soon met today's protagonist, that is, the speeding Bentley above. The price of this car is lower than the market price100000 yuan. The dealer said the car was in good condition. Growing up, I have been resisting the bribe just now, feeling that there must be something hidden in this car. What must dealers hide? Dig step by step!

Model year: Bentley speeding? 20 17? 4.0T？ V8？ s？ Standard edition

Factory time: 20 17-02

Boarding time: 20 17- 1 1

Apparent mileage: 56,272 kilometers

Dealer's quotation: 654.38+0.98 million.

Test location: Shanghai

The guide price of this new car was 2.98 million yuan, and the landing price exceeded 3.2 million yuan. At present, the price quoted by the dealership is 6.5438+0.98 million yuan, but if we look at the guide price, it will depreciate by 6.5438+0.00 million yuan after three years, and the owner will actually lose more, because the car collection price of the dealership will not exceed 6.5438+0.7 million yuan, and the landing price far exceeds 3 million yuan, and the actual loss is 6.5438+0 million yuan. Is this flying car worth 1.98 million today? Let's go!

Or from the outside to the inside, from the outside to the inside, turning around the car, I found many scratches on the whole car. It seems that the original owner didn't hire a full-time driver! The owner's own technology is not so good!

Take out the instrument and measure the paint surface. From the front of the car, the hood, the left front fender and the left front door are all fine, and the left rear door is painted with a thickness of more than 300 um.

Repair and painting of left rear fender metal plate.

The rear of the car is fine. Come to the right of the car. The right C-pillar is repaired with sheet metal and painted. C-pillar is the main structural part of the car body. Although this part is only a broken surface covering, it will not affect the normal use. Strictly speaking, this car can be identified as an accident car.

When the right back door is measured, it is found that the paint thickness is only 9 1um, which is far lower than the average value of normal paint. When I opened the door, I found that the fixing screws and accessories of the door had been removed. In this case, it can basically be confirmed that the door has been replaced.

The door has been replaced, which means that there has been a serious collision or collision, so we need to carefully check the situation around the door and the inner door frame. It was found that the paint values of the upper and lower side beams and sill beams of the right rear door were relatively high, and they were painted twice. It seems that replacing the right rear door is a collision accident caused by the oncoming car on the right.

Pull open the tape of the door frame, and find that there are traces of welding and gluing at the bottom beam and the edge sealing of the bottom beam. It seems that the accident on the right side has a great impact! The position of the threshold was severely deformed by the impact and it was difficult to repair. The original owner is unwilling to cut and replace, and the sheet metal worker can only open the solder joint through internal tapping and restore the deformation before welding and gluing.

The right B-pillar is painted with sheet metal, and the interior trim panel of the right B-pillar is not installed correctly. It was observed that the production date of the interior trim panel was 2065438+April 25, 2008, and the delivery time of the vehicle was 2065438+February 2007, so the interior trim panel was replaced late. Why should we focus on interior trim panels? Because the interior trim panel has seat belts and side airbags. I don't know if the safety accessories inside have moved for the time being When I check the interior, I will see if the car dealer allows me to remove the interior panel for inspection.

Repair and painting of left front door body panel. This is the appearance, the right rear side member is welded and bonded, and it is a proper accident car.

Song Sange saw that I had put the paint away and measured it out. He came up to me and asked me, brother, is there something wrong with the car? I said: the accident car, the right bottom beam is welded and repaired, and the ABC column is all sheet metal. Brother Song San whispered: Brother, everything in the test report is normal. I am here to give you a red envelope. Don't worry, my friend won't call you again.

I'm a little puzzled: didn't you let us check the condition of the car? You want your friend to buy an accident car? I turned my head and looked around, but I didn't see Song Sange's friend. I guess I went to the market to see the car. All kinds of questions are hovering in my mind, but I know I should first refuse Brother Song San and repeat what I said this morning. He stood for two seconds and then walked away! Remember this morning, the person in charge said that they and Song Sange are old acquaintances! I seem to have a clue in my heart, but I can't confirm the truth yet! Anyway, do your own thing and have a clear conscience!

Then check, open the engine compartment, the interior is clean and tidy, the layout of each part is reasonable and close, and it sells comfortably. The 4.0T V8 twin-turbo engine occupies the core position, with a maximum horsepower of 528 horsepower and a maximum torque of 680 Nm. Matching it is an 8-speed automatic manual transmission and a full-time four-wheel drive system with Torsten differential, which has outstanding power performance. It's just that the original owner's technology is a little rough I don't know if such a powerful motivation has been exerted.

The fixing screws on the left and right sides of the cover have no unscrewing marks. Combined with the external paint surface inspection, it is judged to be the original cover.

The fixing screws of the front water tank frame and the left and right fender brackets are also in the original factory state, and the replacement of the front anti-collision beam is undamaged, which can rule out the accident suspect of the front of the car.

Check the engine part, the valve cover has no oil leakage, the intake and exhaust manifolds are normal, and the engine feet are temporarily invisible due to occlusion. Wait until the chassis is detected. However, according to the current situation, the possibility of engine hoisting and landing is basically ruled out.

The amount of engine oil is small, and there is carbon deposit at the engine oil port. It can be seen that the original owner doesn't care much about driving. Brake oil and antifreeze are normal. When I checked the cabin, I saw Song Sange's friend come back. Brother Song San is talking to him! Since I have not been told anything, I will continue to move bricks.

Open the door and check the inside. The interior of this car is handmade, simple and luxurious, with high-end configuration such as electric suction door. There is a sense of superiority when you get into the car, and it is even higher when you drive on the road.

Seeing the obscene appearance of car dealership sales, I know that we are all ordinary workers, so we should move bricks seriously! Look down at the steering column for signs of disassembly, replacement and corrosion.

The screws at the bottom of the seat are not removed, and the seat frame and slide rail are not rusted.

Both the co-pilot seat belt and the rear seat belt have been changed. I was about to check the airbag when Brother Song San came over and said, Brother, don't look at the car, my friend won't buy it. I said to him, well, all right! It's not worth spending so much money on an accident car!

Halfway through the exam, I packed my backpack and prepared to leave. Seeing Song Sange leaving, he said to his friend: Go and see another car tomorrow, and make sure it's no problem. I packed my backpack and wanted to relieve myself. I went to the door and asked Brother Bao where the toilet was. Then I gave him a hanako and tentatively asked, Do you know AE well? The security guard said: He, an old intermediary, usually brings us customers! Take tens of thousands of agency fees at a time.

After getting my answer, leave with a smile. As I surmised, Brother Song San is really a middleman, and his so-called friend is actually his client. Although the Song San brothers took the initiative to find us for testing, we should be responsible for him, but his purpose is not for the condition of the car. He just regards us as a tool to win the trust of customers. If we don't cooperate with him, he wants to buy us off. In the end, shooting yourself in the foot! If I knew this, we would rather not accept such a test task.

We don't deny the positive role of intermediaries in promoting the used car industry, but we don't rule out the negative role of intermediaries. The unprofitable nature determines that their work is highly speculative, and a few employees' professional quality declines. Everything is for the purpose of making money, and even they collude with car dealers to deceive consumers. This kind of behavior is despised by us. However, this phenomenon is widespread and cannot be eliminated. I don't think we have the ability to change such market rules, but we can stick to our own principles, not participate and not shrink back. This is our attitude.

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!
