Chapter 225: Paint Film Instrument

Fang Yuan stared at the bench in front of him for a while, and then looked at Sun Yanming with a solemn face.

Sun Yanming deliberately pulled out the bench inspection and said separately, Fang Yuan didn't understand the second-hand car condition appraisal and guessed what he meant, he wanted to deliberately emphasize the importance of bench testing.

Fang Yuan understands based on his own experience and car dealer system that when buying a second-hand car, no matter how perfect and beautiful the appearance is, how cost-effective the price is, and how complete the procedures are, its car is in bad condition, and everything is in vain.

There is a saying in the second-hand car industry: one car, one condition, one price.

It means that even if the same two Honda Crown Road, model, factory date, mileage and number of transfers are all the same, one car is in junk condition, the other car is in peak condition, and the price is of course different, and you can't use other people's selling prices to measure your own price.

What does the car look good or not?

Not a multimedia configuration.

The low configuration of some models does not even have a large central control screen, isn't it also open normally?

It doesn't matter how many speakers there are in the car, whether there is an LCD screen, whether there is a rear multimedia control, and it does not affect the driving.

It's not a driver assistance configuration.

The current engine start-stop technology is completely a chicken rib, and the first thing many car owners do when they get into the car is to turn it off, because this function saves a little fuel but seriously affects the engine and battery life.

It's not an additional configuration.

Wuling Hongguang does not have laser headlights and seat heating, but it can still help make money, and it is a good partner for car owners on the road to prosperity.

......

These configurations and functions are all ignored, even if the second-hand car you want to buy is broken, sometimes it doesn't matter, but it becomes a reason to bargain.

Buyers look at the three most important and expensive parts of a car: the engine, gearbox, and chassis.

If any of these three fails, the owner will be ruined, and the worst will affect the safety of his family and his own life.

The most important and critical engine, gearbox and chassis of the car, these three major parts can only be checked clearly when the car is lifted, because of this reason, Sun Yanming deliberately emphasized the importance of bench inspection when he did not start the formal introduction.

After Fang Yuan figured out the intermediate reason, he was even thinking that if he didn't do bench testing when using second-hand car appraisal, he would be fooling people.

Finding that everyone understood what they meant, Sun Yanming said to Liu Liang: "Go and drive a car to come and get on the stage." ”

Liu Liang asked with some hesitation: "Which car to drive?"

"Whatever, I'm just going to tell you where to look after you put it on the stage. ”

"Oh, that's right. Liu Liang understood, then turned around and walked away in a panic.

"Do you know what equipment and tools you need to prepare when doing a second-hand car condition appraisal?" asked everyone with a smile.

Zhao Daming and the others, including Fang Yuan, shook their heads slightly, indicating that they didn't know, only the old employee Wang Hu replied tentatively: "I have seen you use flashlights and paint before...... Oh yes, it's the paint film instrument, I don't know what else is left. ”

Sun Yanming slowly took out a small black flashlight from his trouser pocket, a white instrument larger than the remote control of the air conditioner, and even his own mobile phone.

Handing the white instrument to Fang Yuan, leaving a small flashlight and mobile phone, Sun Yanming continued: "There are many equipment and tools used in the identification of second-hand car condition, including driving computer diagnostic instrument, oil detector, battery detector, engine and transmission performance dynamometer and so on. ”

"This lift is also a second-hand car condition detection equipment. Sun Yanming pointed to the yellow lift in front of him with the mobile phone in his hand and said, "But these devices are too big and bulky to carry with you during door-to-door inspection, so there are only three most common second-hand car condition identification tools, which are the flashlight, paint film instrument and mobile phone that Wang Hu just said." ”

Watching Sun Yanming shake the flashlight and mobile phone in his hand at him a few times, Fang Yuan looked down at the white instrument he handed him.

"This is the paint film instrument?" Fang Yuan looked at it over and over, feeling that it was a little larger than the home air conditioner remote control, and in the middle was a screen that took up half of the area, and because there was no power, no picture was displayed.

The upper buttons are very few,The top is three buttons side by side,The lower four buttons form a circle,The mode of adjusting the temperature and air volume of the air conditioner is similar,The bottom is letters and numbers,It seems to be the model and brand marked。

"Yes, this is the paint film. Sun Yanming smiled at Fang Yuan and explained carefully, "There are many styles of paint film instruments, and there is no need to be surprised to see anything. ”

"This is the on/off button. Sun Yanming walked in front of Fang Yuan, pointed to the round button in the middle of the top and said, "The use of the paint film meter is even simpler, after turning on, you only need to align the paint film meter vertically with the covering part to get the data accurately, as long as you are not stupid, you can understand the numbers displayed by the paint film meter, you will not be mistaken." ”

"It's a fool's way to use it. Everyone was happy, and felt that with their own intelligence, they would not go wrong.

"Using a paint film meter is really a simple job. Sun Yanming said, "Some second-hand car condition appraisal masters, experts because of their rich experience, just glance at the surface of the vehicle can know the accurate results with experience, so they do not use the paint film instrument, and even despise the use of this small instrument." ”

Judging from the use of the paint film instrument, everyone feels that with the help of high-tech equipment, there is no difficulty in identifying the condition of second-hand cars, and the nervous little liver just now is suddenly relieved.

"I have a question. Fang Yuan returned the white paint film instrument to Sun Yanming, and then said his doubts.

Fang Yuan knows that any car spraying paint in the main engine factory, no matter which position, the paint data of the whole vehicle should not be much different, only after the accident needs to be repaired by sheet metal painting, it will cause the data measured by the paint film meter to be inconsistent.

Therefore, as a special tool for detecting the thickness of the paint surface, the paint film meter uses this principle as the basis for judging the vehicle condition.

However, the paint surface of low-end Japanese cars is very thin, and the paint surface of French cars and American cars is generally thicker, so the data detected by the paint film meter cannot be used as a basis for measuring all models, right?

Fang Yuan also has a problem, that is, some luxury cars use aluminum bodies, one of the biggest characteristics of aluminum bodies is that they cannot be sheet metal, and they can only be replaced with original parts after an accident.

The damaged covers and the replaced covers are all original parts, and Fang Yuan believes that using the paint film meter to detect at this time will definitely cause errors in judgment.

When Fang Yuan said his question, Sun Yanming had been looking at him silently, but the expression on his face became more and more excited as Fang Yuan's questions increased.

"Okay, you asked the most important question you should pay attention to when using a paint film. Sun Yan Mingle slapped Fang Yuan's shoulder vigorously, smiled approvingly at him, and then explained, "Fang Yuan's question is very good, the paint thickness of each OEM is different, generally speaking, the paint of Japanese cars is thin, and the paint of European and American cars is thicker, but the paint of some high-end cars in Japan is still relatively thick, so it is best for the second-hand car condition appraisal master to remember the approximate paint data range of the car, the American car, etc., to prevent the owner from doing the whole car paint to cover up the problem of color difference and inconsistent paint thickness after the accident." ”

After Sun Yanming talked about the general paint data of Japanese cars and American cars, he deliberately emphasized that the paint surface of supercars and trucks is generally very thick, which should be different from ordinary models.
