Chapter 229: Meter Adjustment Car (3)

When he first appraised the condition of this car, Sun Yanming made a careless judgment that it was a real meter after seeing the mileage of 230,000, because he subconsciously thought that the meter adjustment was always from high to low, and this mileage was so high, there should be no problem.

Now Fang Yuan actually said that it was a meter-adjusting car, and that it was an unexpectedly high-profile strange model, and Sun Yanming thought it was impossible.

Sun Yan knew how to identify the meter car, and he circled around Langyi to start a special inspection from the appearance, wanting to prove that he didn't look away at the beginning.

Look at the paint first when looking at the car.

The paint surface of the car is divided into four layers, from the inside to the outside are the electrophoretic layer, the middle coat, the color paint layer, and the clear coat layer.

Mazda's Soul Red has one more layer of translucent red paint than ordinary car paint, and Rolls-Royce has three more layers, and the paint surface looks deeper and more advanced.

Even if it is as strong as Rolls-Royce, the paint surface will be oxidized, the color will darken, the luster will disappear, the color will crack, and the mirror effect of the paint will be weakened after the wind blows, sun exposure, rain, insect corpses, bird droppings, viscose, chemical corrosion, accidents, wiping scratches, etc.

Tree branches will scratch and sand will also hit the body to create countless small scratches, which will cause the paint to turn black over time.

The lacquer surface has lost its dazzling color and luster, just like a middle-aged man who has been tempered, and the vicissitudes of life on his face leave only deep eyes and melancholy temperament.

The best way is to paste the invisible car clothing, and this is a Volkswagen Lavida, it is estimated that the original owner can enjoy the treatment of waxing and crystal plating, and he doesn't want the owner to spend seven or eight thousand for it to paste the invisible clothing.

Therefore, as long as it is the original car paint, the car dealer or appraiser who has been immersed in the second-hand car industry for many years can find out the color difference by looking at the paint surface of the whole car from a distance and looking closely, and with experience, he can detect that the actual mileage is roughly consistent with the displayed mileage.

Sun Yanming walked slowly around Langyi, stopping from time to time and looking down at the corners and other subtle places, just hoping to find clues.

However, he only knows the method, and has not yet reached the realm of the unity of nature and man, but he feels that the paint texture of Langyi is very good, and there is no trace of paint, which is indeed not like a car with a mileage of hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

Sun Yanming looked back at Fang Yuan, and thought suspiciously: "Am I wrong?"

In order to find the truth, Sun Yanming looked down at the wheel tires again.

As the saying goes, if a horse runs diligently, look at the horseshoe, and if the car is built hard, look at the tires and wheels.

Due to the time it has been parked for too long, the four wheels are covered with dust and look very dirty and worn.

Sun Yanming squatted down and wiped off a large piece of the top with his fingers, and finally exposed the surface of the hub, only to see that the edges had begun to turn yellow and there were traces of partial corrosion, but the rest of the surface was not as bright as new, at least there was little wear.

And to Sun Yanming's surprise, the number on the tire showed that it was produced in the twelfth week of the previous year.

"It took less than two years to change tires?" Sun Yanming was a little surprised.

Generally speaking, the tires of a car will be replaced in about four years or 60,000 kilometers.

According to the 230,000 kilometers shown on the surface, eight years are calculated, which is equivalent to more than 30,000 kilometers per year.

The wheels of this car are obviously original wheels, two years have passed, and the wear and tear of the tires is not serious, and it can last for another two years,

Sun Yanming's brows furrowed, comparing the two with each other, it didn't match the frequency of use of Langyi Terror at all.

There are too many doubts about the car paint and tires for Sun Yanming, and the peace in his heart has been biased to admit that Fang Yuan is telling the truth, and he also thinks that this Lavida may have been adjusted to the table, and others are all less adjusted, and the original owner of this Lavida is strangely high-key.

You can also look at the upholstery, seats, buttons, etc., and there are some special means.

Even if Sun Yanming had roughly admitted Fang Yuan's judgment, he wanted to continue to check.

Before getting up, Sun Yanming glanced at the brake disc, the brake disc of this Lavida was about to be replaced, but Sun Yanming didn't care.

The wear and tear of the brake disc is very normal, some novices forget to put the handbrake, and after a long distance of driving, they continue to wash the car, and the brake disc is easy to deform and scrap.

The brake disc is a wearing part, and it is normal to replace it, and it does not mean anything.

And it is better to replace it, so that buyers can rest assured that they can continue to open boldly, at least for a few years, and they will not need to change it for a new one, and save a lot of money for replacement.

Sun Yanming got up, walked to the side of the main driver's seat, opened the car door, and looked carefully from the outside to the inside.

The hand pillow position on the inside of the door is dirty and oily, and the door handle and window buttons are also seriously painted and discolored, which is in line with the performance of hundreds of thousands of kilometers of mileage.

His gaze then stretched forward, and although he had already seen the interior, he was still disgusted.

The steering wheel directly opposite is not only shiny at 39 o'clock, but the other parts are also a layer of pulp.

The bare skin on the gear knob next to it is also shiny, which is more ruthless than that used in manual transmission models.

The audio knob and air conditioning knob are also used more frequently, and the surface of these buttons and panels is covered with fine nail scratches, and the phenomenon of paint and color loss is very serious.

It's just these three places, Sun Yanming's mind began to come alive again, because it was rotten like this, not to mention the mileage of more than 200,000, that is, 300,000 people also believe it.

Car dealers who have been in the second-hand car business for many years generally have their own little tricks.

Sun Yanming didn't care about the seat, handbrake and other places, but leaned into the car and looked at the accelerator and brake.

These two pedals are very hidden but very convincing, and they are not easy to fake.

First of all, it's easy to overlook, and secondly, it's not easy to break, and it's not easy to change, and if the degree of wear on the accelerator and brake pedals is inconsistent, don't even think about it 100%.

Sun Yanming often observes the wear of the pedal for different kilometers, and through the experience summed up, the surface of the accelerator pedal and brake pedal is somewhat smooth, and the degree of wear is in line with the situation of more than 100,000 kilometers, but it is definitely not like the situation of hundreds of thousands of kilometers.

After inspecting so many places and coming to the exact opposite conclusion, Sun Yanming was a little confused, and even began to doubt his own skills.

There was really no way, Sun Yanming looked at the seat slide again.

The seat slide rail is also a point that is easy for ordinary sellers to ignore, in fact, even if you want to clean it, you will dislike it more troublesome than cleaning up the accelerator pedal and brake pedal, but it can actually reflect the information.

When the seat rails leave the factory, they are greased for lubrication.

After so many years, this slide must be covered with oil stains, and the oil stains are evenly distributed, and there will never be more here and there less.

If there are handprints everywhere, more or less oil, or if it is extremely clean, it must have been deliberately moved, and if it is full of sand and water stains, it must have been blistered.

Sun Yanming pushed the seat and found that there were all kinds of dirt next to the slide rail, melon seed shells, hair strands, and various snack scraps, and even a few one-yuan coins.

The oil stain is very uniform, and the left and right slide rails are the same degree of dirt, without any traces of human cleaning.

Sun Yanming also found that the slide rail track was worn to a great extent, apparently because someone used to adjust the position of the seat often.
