The new car, 360 thousand, depreciated by 200 thousand after only three years. This Ford roadwalker is really sad!

Hello everyone! The old driver of the car inspection met you again. I'm the inspector of the car inspector. Because of his rough appearance, he was dubbed the Hu orangutan. Although our appearance is a little rough, our mind is delicate and we are meticulous in testing, so it is definitely no problem to find me for testing.

The annual Eleventh Holiday is coming. This year's National Day Mid-Autumn Festival is a combination of two swords, with eight days off, one more day than in previous years! Because of the epidemic, everyone didn't play much during the Spring Festival, and all major tourist attractions and entertainment places were closed for half a year. Many people are spoiled, and all kinds of travel strategies are ready, just waiting for the holiday notice. There are many inspection tasks in the holiday, so I can only envy everyone, but I still wish readers a happy holiday, and remind everyone to pay attention to driving safety, avoid traffic jams, prepare food and water in advance, and have a happy holiday!

This time, the customer Miao Ge is going to take a long trip during the holiday. He has planned the scenic spots and routes a week in advance, and the expenses on the road are also ready, except for a car that can be said to leave. Long-distance self-driving, occasionally need to climb mountains and ravines, you must do something hard. Brother Miao saw one in the market? Ford Road Shaker, with heavy and atmospheric appearance, bright paint as new, dull interior but large space, feels good.

The seller told Brother Miao that the car had just been brought back, and it looked a little dirty, and I hadn't had time to clean it, but it was in very good condition and the quality of the car was very good, so I ran around in the ravine. Brother Miao must be careful when he takes his family to drive long distances, so let's check the condition of the car. Orangutan, I received this task, and I didn't say much about the process, so I went directly to the car-watching process.

Model year: Ford Roadwalker 20 16 2.0T gasoline automatic four-wheel drive flagship edition

Factory time: 20 16- 12

License date: 20 17-03

Express mileage: 7 1369 km

Dealer's quotation:198,000.

Test location: Nanchang, Jiangxi

The test is still from the outside to the inside. I walked around the car and found that there were many dents and scratches all over the car, which were caused by running more than 70 thousand kilometers. It seems that the car environment of the former owner is not very good! Here, orangutans also give readers a shot in the arm. It is unrealistic to expect the original paint of the used car. This kind of car is not to say that there is no one. It can only be said that the probability of meeting is too small, which is similar to the probability of China football team entering the World Cup.

In the painting part, the left front fender, the right rear fender, the right front door and the right front fender have been painted after being repaired by sheet metal, and the machine cover has been painted in a small area. The appearance of the whole car is not cut and welded, it can only be considered as average!

Four tires were replaced. At present, it seems that the tire tread is not bad and can continue to be used. The hub is rubbed, which does not affect the use at present. If you mind looking beautiful, you can do paint repair.

The car is a little dirty, and the front windshield is covered with thick dust. After cleaning the label positions one by one, it is found that the factory number of the whole car glass is consistent, and there is no trace of secondary glue repair, so it can be inferred that it is the original glass.

When the front cover is lifted, the surface of the engine compartment is naturally covered with dust, and the parts in the compartment are arranged in order. The 2.0T turbocharged engine lies quietly inside, with a maximum horsepower of 245 HP and a torque of 360 Nm. It is matched with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission and a multi-clutch full-time four-wheel drive. This power combination is still very strong. However, the fuel consumption is quite touching, and the Buddhist driver 13 or so.

There is no trace of unscrewing the fixing screws of the machine cover, and there is no trace of unscrewing the fixing screws of fenders on both sides. In addition, there is no trace of disassembly of the front water tank frame, which can rule out the suspicion of serious collision accident of the front of the car.

When I saw the left headlight, I found that the headlight bracket was broken and was still being repaired. Plastic welding torch is usually used to repair these plastic parts, and the self-adhesive used here is a little low.

Let's see if there is anything wrong with the engine. The valve cover has not been removed, and there is no trace of oil leakage. The engine foot, intake manifold and exhaust manifold are kept in the original factory condition.

The engine room fuse box is clean and fresh, and the circuit is free from corrosion and modification.

In the engine oil part of the whole vehicle, the state of engine oil brake oil antifreeze is normal; The life of the battery is still half, so it can continue to be used. It can be replaced when it is difficult to start later. After all, batteries are consumables.

Open the door and check the inside. Roadwalker's interior is also a relatively atmospheric design style, but it doesn't look exquisite enough. Roughly observed, the gap is dirty, and the main driver's leather is slightly wrinkled, which basically conforms to the state of 70,000 kilometers.

There is really a lot of space in the car. The second row of seats can be folded at a ratio of 60/40, and the third row of seats can be folded with one button at a ratio of 50/50. Considering such a large chassis, it is not a problem for many people to exercise.

There are several rust marks on the directional column, but there are no signs of disassembly. The bottom of the seat is clean and tidy with no traces of sediment, the seat belt socket is clean and without sediment, and the cigarette lighter is also clean. Combined with the condition of other interiors, it can be inferred that there is no soaking water in the cockpit. As for these rust, it may be caused by the environment inside the car, such as cleaning the car.

But when I arrived at the co-pilot, I found that the carpet at the bottom was wet, so I opened the VIN code cover in the car. As a result, I saw that the big rack number was rusty and I couldn't see the original handwriting. If I buy a car, I will use this frame number when I transfer the ownership, so I need to remove the rust on it to see if it is clear. If it still doesn't work, I have to go to the DMV.

Considering that the carpet is wet and the frame number is rusted, in order to further confirm whether there is water, the orangutan proposed to pull open the threshold strip for inspection, but it was cruelly rejected by the seller. The seller said that the door tape had not been touched before, which would destroy the original appearance of the car and affect their sales. Helpless, I can only go on.

Next is the road test, and the seller let us walk around the yard twice. There is no problem with the power, but there are many abnormal noises in the body, which gives me the feeling that the compactness of the car is very poor. The original owner seems to have built a lot.

Chassis inspection is essential, many important parts should be observed from the bottom, and the problems of bottom support and oil leakage also need to be checked by lifting the car. It's just that when we put forward the need to put the chassis on the shelf for testing, the seller refused to do anything. Brother Miao must pay a deposit first. Brother Miao, let me have another look. He coordinated with the seller to put the chassis on the shelf.

While they were negotiating, I checked the OBD system with computer diagnostic instruments. The computer shows that there are still many fault codes in the electronic control system of the car, most of which are caused by the damage of electronic components or signal transmission errors. It is recommended to go to a professional repair shop for repair and treatment.

When watching OBD, I vaguely heard the seller say that the chassis was guaranteed to be fine, that is, it was just brought back, and the bottom was a little dirty, so I couldn't see anything. Just wait until we clean it up! Brother, if you decide to buy this car and are not afraid of being dirty, pay a deposit and put it on the shelves immediately; If you don't buy it now, it won't be at this price when he cleans it up.

Brother Miao came to tell me the situation. I said: this may be the seller's promotion method. Even if the chassis is dirty, the main components can still be seen by simply wiping and washing. I am not afraid of being tired or dirty. I am afraid that if you pay the deposit and find that there is a serious problem with the chassis, it is not good to refund the deposit if you don't want to buy it. Brother Miao said: How is it at present? Let's talk about what's wrong now, and I'll consider it.

I will summarize the current test results and report them to Brother Miao.

Vehicle appearance inspection: vehicle body is dirty, many paint scratches, front bumper scratches, hood partial painting, left front fender removed and painted, rear cover painted, right rear fender painted, right rear door painted, right front door painted, right front fender painted, right front door glass strip deformed;

Engine compartment inspection: the front right corner is disassembled with multiple components, the decorative plate of the upper frame of the water tank is disassembled, the disassembly bracket of the left headlight is broken, and the battery is within the service life;

Inspection of vehicle interior: the gap of the interior is dirty, the middle row seat is removed, the carpet of the co-pilot has water marks, the large rack number is seriously corroded, the hydraulic lever of the armrest box is not installed, the co-pilot seat is removed, the interior is dirty, and the interior cover is not allowed to be removed;

Vehicle start-up detection: there is occasional abnormal noise when the engine is idling;

Vehicle function test: the glasses box can't be closed, the rear storage rack is missing, the tripod is missing, and OBD has multiple fault codes;

Vehicle road test: no abnormality was found in the low-speed test;

Vehicle chassis inspection: the left front wheel hub is scratched, the left rear wheel hub is scratched to change tires, and the right front wheel hub is scratched.

Generally speaking, there is no accident blister maintenance and watch adjustment at present, that is, the car is not sold well, the appearance and interior are a little dirty, and there are some minor problems. The most important thing is that the chassis is not seen, and the following situation is unknown. Brother Miao felt that the car condition was not ideal. He wanted to think about it and took me away first.

The manufacturer's guide price of this Roadwalker was 360,800, and the discount was around 360,000. The current used car market is18-190,000 yuan, which is only the retail price of used car dealers. If individual car owners sell their cars to car dealers or platforms, they may only get160,000 yuan. Compared with the landing price, it lost 0.2 million/200 thousand in three years. The rate of preservation of this car is really sad.

Finally, orangutan, I would like to remind all the students who plan to buy used cars here that there are indeed mixed routines in the used car market. If you know cars yourself, there is no problem. But if you don't know anything about cars yourself, you'd better find a friend who you think knows about cars to check the condition of your car. If you really can't find it, you can also find a third-party car inspection agency like us to check it for you before buying a car. At least you can know the real car condition before buying a car, and you should have the right to know to prevent buying all kinds of cars with accidents!

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!
