Hello everyone, I'm Lao Ripper, a vehicle appraisal appraiser.
Recently, I tested an Audi Q5 for a customer, and this customer is a new fan of us, and I don't know where to know about us. I looked at the car in the second-hand car market, chose an Audi Q5, and then asked us to inspect the car. He was in a hurry, and immediately had to be tested, it stands to reason that we didn't have to talk about this kind of thing, but it happened that when the customer contacted me, I happened to be near him to inspect the car, and then after communication, I just finished the work at hand and went to inspect the car for him.
Tell the customer to wait about two hours, and he has no problem.
At less than three o'clock in the afternoon, I was busy there, and then hurried to the customer's side, which was really close, and it was only ten minutes to walk, because they were all near the car city, and the second-hand cars were basically sold here.
When I arrived, the customer had been waiting here for a long time, and he was a little anxious, so he didn't say much on the spot, and directly started to inspect the car.
This is a 12-year-old Q5, and it looks like an old car. And the 11-year-old car is already about to start a year trial.
There are certain flaws in the outer ** circle, such as the picture below
I don't know where the original owner rubbed it, and it should have been a while, because it's all rusty.
The paint film instrument found that most of the positions of the whole car have traces of rear painting, which is understandable for an old car, and the position of the right front fender has been repaired with sheet metal, and no abnormal values have been found in other positions.
Open the hood,This Q5 uses the second-generation EA888 engine and ZF's 8AT gearbox,How to say,The gearbox is not bad,But the engine I really don't know what to say,Because there are too many common problems,So it was eliminated early...
Checking the coverings found that all of them had been removed, this is not a surprise, it is a normal thing.
Then the water tank frame of the car has also been disassembled and assembled, and there is no problem with the inspection of the longitudinal beams of the structural parts.
Check the engine body, the problem can be thought of with your eyes closed, oil leakage, water leakage, plus a burning engine oil...
Open the back cover and start checking the rear of the car.
Could this be the plastic paper of more than ten years ago? Haven't revealed it yet?
After the rear of the vehicle was inspected, no traces of accident impact repair were found.
Open the doors, check the interior, look at the seats, how many kilometers do you think this car is? Anyway, the table is 120,000 kilometers.
Check that the two doors on the right side of the door are disassembled.
The seat belt inspection found no abnormalities, and there were traces of rust on the steering column on the sole of the driver's feet, but this can clearly be seen to be natural rust and not caused by flooding.
Okay, now we get in the car, we haven't detected such an old Audi for a while, both familiar and unfamiliar, the steering wheel is a little slimy, a little disgusting to the touch, the ignition starts to check the engine operation, and no obvious abnormalities are found.
Then there is the interior function, and the inspection found that the window of the right rear door of the main driver's seat is not working, but the independent switch on the rear door can still be used.
This is probably the case with interior inspections, which are followed by road tests and chassis inspections.
After communicating with the seller, the seller said to let him pay 2,000 yuan of intent money, the customer himself did not want to pay, but he didn't know how to say, and then I gave him a little idea, and asked him to tell the seller that he had come to see the car, and he had spent money to ask for testing, which was not enough intention, right?
The customer thought that my statement was good, and then said it to the seller, thinking that it was over, but the seller changed his words and said that they stipulated that this is the case, and the test car must pay the intention money, because they have met a lot of bastards before, and they have come to various test cars, but they just don't buy it, so their company has set such a rule.
In this case, we can't say anything more, the customer called me aside and wanted to ask my opinion, can I buy the car? I asked the customer what was the purpose of buying this car? Is it just for domestic use?
The customer said yes, it is for home use, and I had also considered a new car, but this budget new car can only be bought domestically, and then I heard others say that second-hand cars are cost-effective, so I came to see the second-hand car, and found that it was indeed cost-effective, and then I picked this Q5.
I understand when I hear the customer say this, the customer doesn't understand the second-hand car at all, eighty percent is also fooled by the seller, there is no problem with buying a family car Q5 itself, but buying an old Q5 for more than ten years, the problem here is big, although the price of this car is not high now, but after all, it is still a luxury brand, that is to say, in addition to the current price, the rest is still the level of luxury cars, in other words, you buy not necessarily raise, and like this old car, It has reached the age of the outbreak of the failure rate, and with the addition of the second-generation EA888, I dare not imagine how much money customers will invest in this car in the later stage.
The customer said that he bought the car for the family, and at the moment the car is obviously very unsuitable for the family...
After listening to my analysis, the customer suddenly realized that he had always wanted to buy a new car, and he had never thought about it so much, and it seemed that this time it was a bit too hasty
Then the final result is obvious, the seller asked the customer to pay the intention money obviously to tie the customer, but now the customer has understood that the car can not be bought after listening to my wave of analysis, so... There was nothing to do, so I just found a reason and left the car dealership.
