Mondo Cars Updated on 2024-01-19

In the current automobile market, there are often old models, especially in the BBA-based luxury car market, we usually become the old to the new, so is the old to the new reliable?Today I will answer for you in detail!

Most of the people who choose to change the old to the new are wedding practitioners, they spend tens of thousands of dollars in the market to buy a W221 rocket Ben, modify and upgrade, upgrade to W222 or the most ** W223, so as to obtain greater benefits, for this kind of business nature of the old and new, we are different, after all, it belongs to spending a small amount of money to invest in the return of greater benefits, some wedding bigwigs even make a fuss on the Rolls-Royce Gu 1, sewing and mending the Gu 1 to Gu 2. As a wedding profit, there's nothing wrong with that.

There is also a part of the old and new in the family car market, some owners will change their F series BMW three series to the most ** G series, thinking that they are spending a little money to do big things, but is this modification really reliable?Today, I will take Mercedes-Benz W221, the hardest-hit area of the old to the new, as an example, to give you a detailed interpretation:

If you take the s of w221 to change 222 and 223, you need to cut the back fender, because the rear fender of 221 will protrude a piece, which is the "**leg" as it is said, and 221 is changing** When the rear windshield also needs to be replaced, the front fender, trunk lid, and even the front fender and the door waistline will be changed, so this will affect the safety of the vehicle, from the structure of the vehicle, the car is not safe, according to the words of the car dealer, this can be regarded as an accident car!Security is subject to discussion. Not only Mercedes-Benz, but all brands will encounter this kind of problem, especially the Kowloon Effie to Toyota Alpha. After a few years, there will be the problem of bursting putty, don't lift the bar with what compression recovery technology, from the current old to new market, or scrape putty.

The second point will be abnormal noise, water leakage, air leakage, dust leakage, because of the cutting, replacement of glass, the later modification and replacement of the sealing is certainly not as good as the original, so in the later stage of water leakage, air leakage, dust leakage is a very normal phenomenon, at the same time in the process of interior modification, it is bound to cause damage to the buckle, the disassembly and assembly of the seat and the disassembly and modification of the central control, are the fuse of the future abnormal noise. And after a few years, all modifications will leak problems, and even the later changed LCD screens will have problems such as Caton, especially 221 to 223, most of which are Android screens used.

The third point is that it is not legal, because from this cutting, cutting the body is an illegal card type, so even if you go to the traffic police to make a change, this is also through an abnormal channel, this car was originally a normal car, turned into an accident car, this car is a secondary transaction in the future, this is not able to sell, or a serious depreciation.

The fourth point is the safety issue: after a long period of use, the body frame, chassis, suspension and other parts of the old car may have different degrees of wear and deformation, if these parts are modified, it may further aggravate the wear and deformation, thereby affecting the handling and stability of the vehicle, and even endangering driving safety.

Fifth, there is the issue of cost: there is a certain amount of money to be paid for modifying an older car, and these costs may become higher and higher over time. In addition, due to the inconsistent quality and performance of retrofit parts, frequent repairs and replacements may be required, which can also add additional costs.

To sum up, if you are not doing weddings, then it is really not recommended that you play the old to the new, do not change it at all, personal advice, the car can do the original upgrade, because the same one, to upgrade is no problem, in fact, the car is cleaned up shiny, clean, touch which is bright, as long as it can be like this, the car can play very good, because this is an attitude, driving a shiny old car on the street, than those old to new more attitude!The car is old and new
