In recent years, with the rise of second-hand car e-commerce, consumers have a new understanding of second-hand cars, cars are consumables, and second-hand cars are more cost-effective and affordable than new cars, so more and more people have begun to choose to buy second-hand cars. But we all know that the market for second-hand cars is very deep, and the phenomenon of meter adjustment cars can be said to be very common, so how should we avoid buying meter adjustment cars?
First of all, the first point, Tutu wants to tell you is not how to choose the technical problem, but the mentality, do not hold the psychology of "picking up leaks" to buy a second-hand car, after all, now for traditional fuel vehicles, the second-hand car market has developed very maturely, and many professionals are engaged in this industry, for second-hand car dealers, "leakage" This kind of thing has been picked up by them, so you want to pick up leaks here in second-hand car dealers, this idea is basically unrealistic. So the mentality should be correct, don't try to be cheap, there is no pie in the sky.
As for how to judge a meter car, you can consider from the following aspects, first of all, the first is the easiest, even if you have never driven a car, you don't know anything about the car, that is, to check the maintenance records of the 4S shop, now there are many software to check the maintenance records, as long as the car has been repaired or maintained in the 4S shop, you can query from the maintenance records, you only need to look at the mileage displayed on the maintenance record of the car last time in the 4S shop, and then compare the current mileage, you can judge whether it is a meter car。
In addition to this method of spending a little money to inquire, with your own experience in driving a car, you can also see whether it is a meter car, look at the places where the car is more prone to wear, such as the steering wheel, door handle, driver's seat, etc., and observe the state of wear and tear to roughly judge the real mileage. Even including the wear and tear of tires and brake discs, the odometer is easy to adjust, after all, it does not cost much, but if the tires, brake discs and other components are fake, you need to pay the cost, and judge whether it is a meter adjustment car by checking these wearing parts, or the degree of wear of the parts that the driver is usually most likely to touch.
In addition, with the help of some professional instruments and equipment, such as reading the trip computer, or reading the engine module and transmission module, check their display mileage. Of course, some of the current meter adjustment cars can be changed if they put a little more effort into it. There is also a more accurate and complex ABS, which can be read by a computer, which is relatively more accurate than the engine transmission module.
The last point is to look at the dashboard, because many models need to disassemble the dashboard and re-compile the data, so when we test the car, we can carefully observe whether the speed pointer of the odometer has moved and whether there is dust in it. If there is dust visible to the naked eye, it is very likely that the dashboard has been removed.
To sum up, no matter what kind of means to identify a meter car, it is necessary to have some relative experience, if you do not have this experience, or your relatives and friends do not have this experience, to buy a second-hand car yourself, you must remember one point, do not hold the mentality of picking up leaks.
If a car is in very new condition, the number of kilometers is still very small, it looks like a great value, and it is tens of thousands of dollars cheaper than other models in the same condition, at this time you have to consider whether there is any cat. If you buy a meter adjustment car, it is relatively better, if it is some accident cars, soaking cars, the cost of using the car in the later stage and even the safety of the car can be difficult to guarantee.
Therefore, the most critical point of buying a second-hand car is to choose a reliable second-hand car dealer, or to be accompanied by a professional to give yourself advice. I don't know if you have any other questions about second-hand cars, or there are other ways to identify them, welcome to leave a message**.
