Car accidents are not scary, but people’s hearts are scary! My thoughts after testing a Suzuki Qiyue with 54,000 kilometers!

Hello everyone, I am the senior brother of the car inspection team. Thank you for sharing your story about used car inspections with me here!

Words written at the beginning of the article: I have always believed that accident cars can be bought, but what kind of price should correspond to what kind of car condition. As long as you buy clearly, your money will be worth it! Appeal: be greedy for money, be virtuous, be lustful and be virtuous!

Tell me about something you encountered during a recent test. Because the training of the last 79th Regiment Assessment Study Class was over, I could really rest for a few days before the Spring Festival. During this period, I received an invitation from a fan to look at a second-hand Suzuki Qiyue.

This car was a 1.6 automatic Qiyue that was sold in June 2015, and the insurance review is not until July 13, 2020. There is no transfer record, and the car has traveled 54,000km in the hands of the owner. The car is a personal first-hand car that this fan found on a forum. (For privacy reasons, the original car picture was replaced by an online picture.)

According to the buyer’s description: They had added WeChat before, and the chat was quite good. The final negotiated price was 58,000 yuan, excluding transfer.

It can be seen that the buyer likes this car very much, because it is made by himself and the other party said that all aspects of maintenance are very good. At the same time, he also categorically informed that there is no problem with this car. He was very moved, and the important reason that made him decide to buy the car at a high price turned out to be: "The other party said that this car is for his own use, and there is no problem at all. The lowest price is this, and he will not sell it for a penny lower."

With the mentality that high-priced goods are good, he decided to pick up the car. But with the last bit of rationality and vigilance, he still chose to find me to help him make a final check on the condition of the car!

When we arrived at the scene, the seller was already waiting there and greeted the buyer enthusiastically, saying that the car was here and that you could just take a look at the car for yourself.

To be honest, at this moment and during the inspection time of the next hour, I was convinced that this car was made by a high-quality individual from Taiwan.

After all, during the front inspection, I could clearly see that the cover screws were not moved, the frame screws were not moved, the energy-absorbing box was removed, and the base was not removed. I also confirmed that the front There has been no crash repair and replacement of components.

(You may ask why you need to look at these places, you can continue to look at the pictures below)

The problems with the front parts all lie in the repair of the exterior parts.

But when we saw the rear of the vehicle, I actually admired the seller’s acting skills and methods! At the same time, after the customer learned about the situation, he actually fell out with the seller on the spot!

As soon as you open the rear cover of this car, you can clearly feel that there is something wrong. The paint inside is very new and obviously does not meet the condition that a vehicle of this year should have. At the same time, checking the tail cover is also a later disassembly and repair. It was finally confirmed that the car had a rear tailgate.

At the same time, it was found that the water guide channel on the right side was obviously deformed, and there must have been an accident at the rear. Since there was no damage to the sheet metal of the left and right fenders, the greater possibility of the accident was at the rear. To confirm, we cleaned up a pile of debris that the owner had filled in the trunk. Finally saw the accident site!

The rear quarter panel has severe deformation and repair marks, but no cutting and repair marks have been performed.

I was a little surprised and frightened when I saw this. All the naturalness and easy-goingness of the previous seller turned out to be an act. After the seller learned about the true condition of the car, he even cursed and drove away without making any excuses for his lack of qualifications. At this time, I was also surprised. The seller did not show any wrongdoing or guilt for concealing the accident. Everything seemed to be taken for granted!

In fact, according to the accident vehicle assessment standards, the rear quarter panel is not a structural component, and mere deformation and repair does not constitute a major accident vehicle. It is not impossible to buy this type of car, on the contrary, it has a certain cost performance. It’s just that the seller taught me a deep lesson and made me understand what it means to hide it deeply!

At the end of the first sentence, I appeal: Be greedy for money, and be lustful!
