Slow hands! 14 years is still the original original paint, and this 35,000 Toyota Camry is going to be robbed.

Fourteen years of Toyota Camry, the original car paint is still quoted at 35,000 yuan. Buyer: No one will rob me.

Hello everyone! The car inspector is here to see you again! Welcome to this interesting issue of used car testing. I am a second-hand car inspection technician who has repaired the car, and I am also the persuasion teacher of the problem car!

Used cars are things that some people like and some people don't like. Especially the second-hand car that is over 10 is controversial. The once-a-year trial and even the second trial, as well as the worrying condition of the car, have also discouraged many people, feeling that this kind of car is not suitable for purchase; However, some people think that it is not a problem for a reliable car to drive hundreds of thousands of kilometers. A car with age 10 is not as convenient as a new car, but it is cheap and cost-effective. Today, I tested a Toyota Camry with a car age of 14. Take a look at this car with me, it may subvert your understanding of used cars ~

This is a Toyota Camry registered in 2006. Let's take a look at its basic situation first:

Vehicle model year: 2006 model year? 200 grams

License date: August 2006

Express mileage: 1 12000 km.

Guide price of new car: 2,654.38+0.98 million.

Seller's quotation: 35,000

Toyota Camry didn't have such a big discount in 2006. This car landed at least 230 thousand that year. Now it has been opened for 14 years and can only be sold for a fraction, which can be said to be very cost-effective. The customer also said that this car was recommended by an acquaintance, so the price was decent, and the seller promised that the car was in good condition. Honestly, 14, how good will it be? I didn't know I was hit in the face until I finished the test. Take a look at the car with me!

First of all, this is the old rule. After observing around the car for a week, I found that there were still many problems. First of all, there are many flaws in the paint surface, and there are traces of painting on the front and rear bars; The aging of the other paint surface is also obvious now; After all, it is more than ten years old. There are a lot of small bumps and paint drops in the whole car, and there are basically rust marks in the paint drops. The storage conditions of vehicles seem to be relatively general, but they are all minor problems that can be solved by polishing.

Next, I took out professional equipment to check the paint value. Many netizens said that it is of little reference value to measure the paint value of this 10-year-old used car. What is certain is that all the places that should be painted have been brushed. But what I want to say is that we are not only testing the paint surface of the vehicle, but inferring the situation of the whole vehicle through the appearance of the vehicle. This is a step-by-step process. You can see that the tail, roof, trunk lid and front hood of this Toyota Camry are very low, which seems to be the effect of the original car paint. Look at other paint surfaces!

It turns out that other paint surfaces are also like this, which is too exaggerated. It has been opened for 14 years, and most of the appearance still retains the effect of the original car paint, which is really hard to get! Many cars are older than 10, and you can't build them after 10 months! It has been tested before, and after thousands of kilometers, there are paints and scratches everywhere. That's what I want to say. Used cars should not be judged bad because they are old. On the contrary, whether vehicles are as good as quasi-new ones should not be judged only by their condition.

Although there is no problem with the appearance, we should be careful, so we checked the ABC column of the vehicle again and found no repair marks. The overall appearance is satisfactory. This is a bit out of the customer's expectation, because the customer told me that there is no need for any high-quality cars, as long as there are no major accidents and blisters, and there are no problems with the three major parts. Judging from the current situation, this Toyota Camry should be able to overfulfil the task, but I'm not sure if it's enough. I won't know until I check it.

Then check the engine compartment. For Toyota, engines are more important. No matter how good the exterior paint is, it is useless to have problems with the engine. This Camry is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with the maximum horsepower 147 and the maximum torque190N m. The power is definitely weak according to the current standards, and many machines 1.4T can completely blow it up. But after all, it is a 06 car, and it is also a comfortable car. Then test.

Check the engine compartment frame first, and there is no deformation repair at the top of the shock absorber tower. If there are repairs here, it will affect the symmetry of the vehicle and the stability of the chassis suspension. If it is damaged, it will cause irreparable damage to the chassis. Fortunately, no problems were found. Then check the engine cover for signs of disassembly; The screws and hinges show no signs of disassembly and deformation.

Moreover, no traces of disassembly deformation were found in the anti-collision beam; There are no signs of removing and replacing fenders on both sides; Headlamp screws are rusty, but there are no signs of disassembly and repair. At present, the engine compartment is still in good condition, basically not damaged, and Toyota's reliability is still very good.

Next, check the main body of the engine. First, no disassembly marks were found on the engine bracket. There is no disassembly mark on the transmission bracket.

However, the generator belt showed slight signs of aging and the generator was cleaned. But I still see that it is leaking and the generator shows signs of replacement. No signs of disassembly were found in other accessories, and no signs of disassembly were found in the exhaust pipe. So we can rule out signs of engine disassembly and maintenance. Generally speaking, there is only some normal wear and tear.

Later, we can see that most of the engines have traces of cleaning, which should be due to oil leakage in the past and the seller has a good appearance. Fortunately, the overall situation is still relatively good at present, but judging from the corrosion of the engine room, this car should have been left for a long time. It seems that few people are considering this kind of 10 car.

Sure enough, the battery is seriously short of electricity, and the power is still half. The battery needs to be used carefully and replaced in time, and the oil in the whole car needs to be replaced again. It is suggested that after the late start-up, we should do a major maintenance to make us feel more at ease when using the car. Camry is expected to maintain more than 65,438+0,000 yuan, which is not bad.

Let's check the cockpit. Camry's three-color interior style is still quite classic, which is in line with the tastes of mature and stable young and middle-aged friends. It is worth mentioning that in 2000, this hierarchical dashboard design was really amazing, no less than the explosion when the full LCD instrument just came out.

In addition, the design of the central control part is also very distinctive. It may seem ordinary now, but it still set off some trends at that time. However, the workmanship of the interior is not particularly perfect, and there are still many defects: uneven cracks, abnormal interior pressure and glue opening.

And the instrument here is damaged, but I feel that this should be damaged by someone who doesn't know. And the car was made in 2006, but the windshield here is 8. Laofen must have seen the windshield changed, but the comprehensive judgment was not caused by an accident, so the problem is not big.

However, this steering wheel is a bit worn out, which really affects the mood. There are also places with high touch frequency, which are seriously worn. It doesn't look like 1 10000 kilometers, but the maintenance records are basically the same. On the other hand, it doesn't make much sense that this 14 car is entangled in kilometers. What matters is its overall condition, don't you think?

Then check the inside of the dashboard and find it is quite clean; There is rust on the seat frame, which should not be water rust, but an environmental problem; The steering column is normal, with no rust and no signs of disassembly and maintenance. Eliminate blister cars. Let's take a road test. For safety reasons, we won't take photos during the road test. Please forgive me for showing you the new Toyota Camry. Who is more classic?

On the way to the road test, I specifically asked the seller about rapid acceleration and rapid deceleration, because these two functions are the most important for car use. Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong, except that the motivation is a little weak, but it is still enough for home use. I thought this 14 Camry should have some abnormal noise, but I didn't find any abnormal noise after running around, so the quality can be said to be very good. It seems that it is not a pure joke that Toyota can open three generations ~

After the road test came back, we should have lifted the chassis to test it, but because of the limited space, we couldn't lift the vehicle, so we had to find a way to check it. First of all, I squatted down to observe the chassis, and found no serious leakage and bottom support, and no traces of engine disassembly.

Moreover, there is no trace of leakage or disassembly of the shock absorber. It must be a BMW, and it should be a set of shock absorbers. After all, a BMW that doesn't leak oil is not a real BMW (just kidding, don't hit me with BMW powder). However, it can be seen that the tires are produced by 13 and 4 1 week, and the condition of the tires has passed the best life of rubber use, so it is recommended to replace them later.

Finally, the brake was checked, and it was found that the brake disc was slightly worn and the brake pads could last for a while, so the inspection here came to an end. Judging from all the tests, it is rare for the car in 2006 to remain in this state. Even I, a used car inspector who has tested so many cars, have to say that it is really awesome! Then I reported the complete car condition to the customer, and the customer said that he was very satisfied, and the rest was the price.

So I told my customers that we can use the places that need to be prepared, such as the replacement of the whole vehicle's liquid oil battery and the replacement of tires, to bargain; Or the aging of some vulnerable parts in the later period can also be used as a bargaining point. The customer understands, but today the price is agreed by them online. I wonder if the seller is willing to let it go. It depends on the customer's bargaining skills. Anyway, I finished the task, then packed my equipment, bid farewell to the client and left, waving my sleeves without taking a screw ~

Later, when I sent the car inspection report to the customer, the customer told me that the seller had a lot of money, and finally only talked about the transfer money. But because the price was agreed in advance and the car was in good condition, the seller also said that there were other customers looking at the car, so he sold it to others, and it was gone. When he found that someone was "robbing the car" with him, the customer immediately agreed to buy it for 35 thousand yuan. But generally speaking, buying a used car is the default seller's departure from transfer fees, which is really cost-effective! But we can see the same Toyota Camry, and the transaction price is almost 36,000. Today, this Camry car is in acceptable condition, but it needs to spend some money to prepare later. Overall, it is still very good. After seeing this 14 car, do you have a new understanding of used cars?

Ok, that's the end of today's test sharing. Thank you for reading!

I am a used car inspector, and we mainly test used cars. You must have a rational attitude when buying used cars. With the increase of vehicle age, the consumption and wear of some wearing parts are inevitable, and small scratches will appear. In fact, it is harmless for some panels to be painted with sheet metal, and it cannot be required as a new car. But major issues must not be compromised! When buying a second-hand car, don't just look at the price, pay more attention to the condition of the car and combine the price to determine whether it is your dish.

If you have any questions about used cars, you can pay attention to us. Maybe we can help you solve the problem!
