I bought a Changan CS75, an Internet celebrity tank, for RMB 50,000. The interior was rusty and smelly, but the owner was smiling.

Hello, everyone! The car inspector met with everyone again. I am GTwang, the most "heavy" inspector among car inspectors. Although I look tall on the outside, I am actually as careful as a needle on the inside. Welcome to this issue of used car inspection fun facts. I am a used car inspector who has repaired cars, and I am also an accident car evacuation specialist.

When people think of the Haval H6’s rival, the first thing they think of is the Changan CS75. Changan Automobile’s development in recent years can be said to be very good, and the CS75 has definitely made great achievements. It is the first Changan car series The undoubted leader and meritorious veteran.

The reason why it is called the most promising player to defeat the Haval h6 is because it has a large interior space and ultra-high configuration. Not only that, Changan CS75 has also been praised by car owners for its reliability and durability. Got high ratings.

Recently, a fan called and said that he bought an SUV in the second-hand car market. The seller claimed that the original paint of the car only had a small amount of spray paint on the left front fender and there were no other problems. However, the fan has driven two cars since the purchase. Mr. Yue felt something was wrong. There was a particularly strong odor in the interior. It felt like a car with blisters. The price was lower than other cars of the same level, so I hope that the inspector could focus on checking whether it was a car with blisters.

The testing location arranged by the fan was at an auto repair shop next to the community where he lived. I packed up my equipment and set off early. The fan made a joke the first time he saw me. No, it should be me. It was a joke.

A fan asked, "Hello, what's your surname, master?"

I immediately replied, "If your surname is Wang, please call me Xiao Wang." (Fans with longer reflex arcs can Read the conversation aloud). The fans were not polite and laughed very rudely. While laughing, they said that the main purpose of today's test is whether the car has blisters and said that if there is no problem, other subsequent test items can be simplified. Xiao Wang said that you, the boss, have the final say.

The 1.8T 2014 Changan CS75 automatic elite model in front of us was manufactured in February 2015, with an indicated mileage of 60,000 kilometers, and the new car is priced at around 140,000. Fans said that the main reason for buying a car was that after going through the epidemic, they found that it was not very convenient to have a car at home, so they went to a car dealer through a brother’s introduction and bought this CS75 for 50,000 yuan. In addition, after getting the oil and water replacement, It cost several hundred dollars to set up on my own.

According to the fan’s recollection, he took a very short time to decide to buy this car and almost didn’t think about it seriously. He got in the car and drove it for a few minutes and didn’t have any deep feelings. The only thing that tempted him was the car’s huge space and appearance. It was to my liking, so I made a deposit as soon as possible after haggling over the price, and immediately paid the money and completed the formalities the next day. Now that I think about it, it seems a bit too risky. If there is a problem, wouldn't it be like throwing money into the water? The kind that doesn't hesitate. Xiao Wang and I looked at the fans who were a little depressed, and immediately reassured me that it was not necessarily true. He asked me to check it carefully and then I would know whether it was good or bad.

After letting the fans calm down, Xiao Wang carefully walked around the vehicle and found that there were dirty spots of spray paint on the front and rear bumpers, spray paint was also found on the back cover, and there were scratches and cracks on the surface of the left and right rearview mirrors. It was a bad start. Ah, let's take a look at the exterior metal parts.

Xiao Wang, I solemnly took out the paint film meter and started to test the appearance, but the result was not satisfactory. The entire car body includes the left front fender, left front door, left rear door, left rear fender, right rear fender, and right rear fender. The rear door and right front door all have large areas of painting or sheet metal repairs, and the overall appearance is in terrible condition.

There is a big difference from the previous statement that the original paint was only painted on the left front fender. Fans said that the car dealer is simply a liar. There is such a big difference, but Xiao Wang comforted fans and said that the appearance is not too bad. The big problem is, as long as there are no blisters or major accidents, it is better to leave it open. After all, I have bought it. If I test it before buying, I can still consider it carefully before making a decision.

In fact, fans of second-hand cars must treat it with a correct attitude. After all, they are consumables, especially this kind of large domestic SUV. Generally, the previous owner will use it to do some dirty and heavy work. In daily driving, it is You don't pay special attention to the road conditions. After all, any owner who drives an SUV feels like he is driving a tank. Even if he passes through a shell crater, he rarely slows down. At most, he only taps the brakes lightly.

Xiao Wang opened the cabin cover and focused on observing whether there were any white spots or severely rusted metal parts. However, no abnormalities were found, and there were no disassembly or replacement of key positions. Subsequent inspections only found that in addition to the need for maintenance and replacement of oil and water, Everything else was normal (the glass water bottle lid was missing, and the customer found a bottle to temporarily cover it). The fans breathed a sigh of relief, and the engine compartment was saved.

I opened the door and went inside the vehicle. The focus was to check for signs of blisters. After all, I came with a mission. The carpet was so dirty that I couldn’t bear to look at it. The steering column was slightly rusty, and the front seats The screws are normal, the seat frame is normal, the door lock cylinders have no signs of rust and disassembly, and the seat belts have no water stains after cleaning and are not hard.

Then I went to the back row, and there were no signs of disassembly of the rear seats. There was no rust on the joints after the seats were folded down, and there was slight rust on the rear seat frame.

Some netizens have also experienced similar slight rust. According to their understanding, the rear seat frame to be assembled has been idle for too long and was not assembled in time. But Xiao Wang personally does not agree with this statement. This is a high-level black comment made by netizens. Logically speaking, Changan CS75 and Haval H6 are both models whose production capacity cannot keep up with sales, and demand exceeds supply at all. The upstream parts suppliers are also working overtime and doing their best to ensure that the production line of the main engine factory is not stopped. Personally, I judge that this is an accidental phenomenon during the production process of the seat frame. What do you fans think?

The trunk is easier to inspect. Open the spare tire cover and you can see the entire spare tire pit at a glance. There are no traces of blisters. The tools that come with the vehicle are not rusted. There are no water stains inside the tripod box after opening it. Under the spare tire There are traces of use on the vehicle tools. At this point, the suspicion of blisters has been basically eliminated.

After telling the fans about the situation so far, the 19-meter-old black-faced man smiled like a kid weighing about 200 pounds. After laughing, he told Xiao Wang that his vest was getting cold. , my head is a bit dizzy, and I am panicking every day. If I hadn’t come to you for testing today, I would feel suffocated when I sleep at night. Xiao Wang doesn’t think it can be ruled out that the altitude is too high, so you will feel dizzy and suffocated.

Due to the customer's request, we quickly checked all the functions in the car and found them to be normal. The only shortcoming was that there was a sense of frustration and abnormal noise when shifting gears. Fans complained that a gear shifting mechanism was recently replaced. It's much better now, it was worse than this before.

There is indeed an odor in the interior, but it is not the smell of mold and deterioration, but the smell of renovating and cleaning liquid. In addition, the gear handle, steering wheel, multi-function buttons, and one-button start button are seriously worn, and the interior is worn. If it's serious, fans who often read articles and have a little bit of knowledge about second-hand cars will definitely find that this indicates signs of meter adjustment. A chassis inspection will confirm our point of view.

Although it has been determined that the car is not blistered, since the inspection was done at the entrance of the auto repair shop, there is a ready-made lift in the house. Fans also said that it would be easier to take a look, since the inspection fee is paid anyway. By the way, I checked the chassis again. Xiao Wang detected that the chassis was not particularly severely rusted, but that the screws fixing the steering gear on the beam had signs of twisting. Looking in the direction of the steering gear, I found that the steering gear had been disassembled and the engine oil was bottoming. There are signs of leakage in the casing, the front wheel brake pads are newly replaced, and the four-wheel tires are also quite badly worn. It does not look like a car with 60,000 kilometers, but at least 100,000 kilometers.

The fans were very polite and repeatedly said that they would send Xiao Wang to the next testing location, which happened to be not far away, so Xiao Wang reluctantly agreed. On the way, the fans’ faces turned obviously gloomier than at the beginning. It was sunny, and we talked more on the road. First, they spoke highly of Xiao Wang’s serious and meticulous service, and then the topic turned to cars. Fans told Xiao Wang that domestic SUVs are getting better and better now. , especially the main models of several first-tier domestic brands are very powerful. Now this car is used as a transition. If it works well in a few years, I will buy a domestic SUV when I buy a new car in the future.

In the process of sending it to me, I actually felt that the chassis of this Changan CS75 was not as scattered as I imagined, and the control was not as good as it was. It was quite unexpected to compare the driving quality through the overall condition of the chassis. During driving, the gearbox It's really quite frustrating.

Theoretically, the Aisin 6AT equipped in this car is relatively reliable. I hope fans can go back and check it again. However, compared to automatic transmission models, netizens also complained about the manual transmission of this model very much, and some even complained about it. The joke goes that a veteran driver with 10 years of driving experience stalled the car five times in one day after he got it. Xiao Wang was also drunk. It seems that when buying a car, especially a second-hand car, it is better to buy an automatic transmission (fans, it is so embarrassing to stall the car at the start). thing).

Summary: The exterior covering parts of the vehicle are painted in many places and the workmanship is average. Wearing parts such as tires should be replaced in time. The leakage of the engine oil pan needs to be dealt with in time. In the end, it is not obvious that it can be judged as blisters. The direct basis of the car.

After all, there are no accidental blisters that affect daily driving safety. Fans don’t seem to care much after feedback about the car’s meter adjustment. After all, the main inspection direction required is to rule out the suspicion of blistered cars. . However, Xiao Wang still emphasized to fans that although adjusting the meter will not affect the actual use of the vehicle too much, it will cause the vehicle to be unable to carry out corresponding maintenance items based on the mileage in time. At the same time, many car owners who do not understand the car have trouble with wearing parts. The replacement information is also very unclear, so fans are advised to try their best to buy second-hand cars with authentic and transparent mileage.

According to market conditions, fans can only buy high-end models with manual transmission at most. However, apart from the fact that the car is in very average condition, the main reason is that this year’s epidemic has caused car dealers to change their sales strategies, such as Changan. A best-selling model like the CS75 with a large number of customers mainly relies on small profits but quick turnover, fast in and fast out, and reduces prices and volume in exchange for rapid profit growth. Xiao Wang couldn't help but sigh that this year is indeed a very suitable year to start buying second-hand cars.

Finally, I would like to remind all fans again, buying a car is not buying groceries! Be sure to make preliminary preparations and bring along friends who understand cars or find a reliable third-party professional testing agency to avoid being deceived and causing additional trouble for you in the future when using your car.
