Chapter 230: Vehicle Identification Number

Everyone had heard Fang Yuan talk in detail about the situation of the small trade car and the big trade car before, so when they heard Sun Yanming's introduction, they quickly understood, and they all nodded and waited for him to continue.

"The second is the models that have been discontinued. Sun Yanming introduced, "For example, in 2016, the Land Rover Defender, Volkswagen Phaeton was discontinued, and in 2019, the Cadillac ATS-L was discontinued, and buyers who like this type of car can't buy a new car at all." ”

This is better understood by everyone, they have all been discontinued, and if you want to buy a car, you can only buy second-hand cars, and the number of transfers is of course high.

"The third is that those small steel cannons with the highest number of transfers, and they are also the hardest hit areas for the identification of second-hand car condition. Sun Yanming put away the big green book, crossed his fingers and said to everyone, "A45, Megane RS, Mitsubishi EVO, Civic TYPE-R......"

Sun Yanming told everyone that these models are not family cars, nor are they commercial vehicles, they are purely for fun.

The owners drift in a circle, flick the tail, attack the corner, get on the track, and can't wait to start every time they go out, and make great efforts to build seven thousand turns in two gears, and they don't pity the car condition at all.

Since it's a big toy, players will always have a day when their excitement disappears, so what should they do when they get tired of playing with it?

So those buyers who are rich, fun-loving, noisy, and passionate are familiar with this kind of car, and will not buy a new car at all, and will buy a second-hand car when they want to find new excitement, play for a few months and then sell it.

In this way, a second-hand car and drumming are passed down, and whoever has problems with the engine, gearbox, suspension, etc., is considered unlucky.

Therefore, the frequency of transfer of those small steel cannons is very high, and the time is very close, and it is normal for the big green book to show seven or eight times of reversing.

Liu Liang and the others suddenly came to their senses, looked at Sun Yanming and asked, "So, you should pay special attention when you encounter such a small steel cannon?"

"Yes, if there is no problem in the hands of others, maybe when it is your turn, all the faults will break out at once, burn the clutch plates, and the one who overhauls the engine may be himself. Sun Yanming explained to Fang Yuan that when encountering such a model, he must be careful, and he must not be careless.

"I see. Fang Yuan nodded, and suddenly asked Sun Yanming, "You said that the procedures were fraudulent just now, can you give me a detailed explanation?"

"I happen to know a little bit about counterfeiting. Sun Yanming smiled, "Actually, some procedures can't be considered fake." ”

Sun Yanming said that sometimes for a long time, some car owners are careless and will indeed lose some documents, if the loss is a new car purchase invoice, second-hand car purchase invoice, purchase tax payment certificate, etc., so that inconsequential documents do not have to be afraid, as long as your procedures are complete and qualified, purely just lost, looking for scalpers can basically reissue back, they give you a replacement or true, in case you encounter a scammer's situation, it is not easy to say.

"Such a vast supernatural power?" Liu Liang and the others were simply stunned, what they thought was difficult in their eyes was so easy in the hands of these scalpers.

"There's something more powerful than that. Sun Yanming snorted and was happy, what he just said was that the owner lost the regular documents, and the scalpers helped to reissue the real documents.

Scalpers also have a relationship to falsify the transfer records of the big green book.

Generally speaking, the transfer of ownership of each car will be displayed in the registration column of the big green book, and the records of each item are very clear.

And some scalpers have so much energy that they will let the clerk put a piece of paper on the big green book when printing the transfer record, and then all the transfer records are printed on the paper, but there is no record on the big green book, and the car can be sold at a high price as a personal first-hand car.

"Can you still play like this?" Fang Yuan was simply stunned, if the transfer of those small steel cannons did this, if they were bought by buyers who didn't know the truth, they wouldn't be killed?

"That's why I said that the second-hand car industry is deep and muddy, don't rely on your own knowledge of cars to break into it stupidly, sometimes it's such people who pit it. Sun Yanming said, "If you want to buy a second-hand car, you must either find a third-party testing company or find a friend who really knows how to prevent being deceived." ”

After introducing these, Sun Yanming continued, there is also a situation that all the procedures are fake, and the counterfeiting methods are superb, what watermarks, anti-counterfeiting signs are a lot, even the master may be recruited, and if you encounter this situation, call the police.

"Is the method of counterfeiting so frustrating?" Fang Yuan chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly called up the primary identification skills of used cars he had just obtained, and sure enough, he did not find the identification results of the documents in the appraisal results of the Volkswagen Passat.

"Oh, I'll go, but I didn't. At this time, Fang Yuan knew that the primary appraisal skills of this second-hand car also had limitations, and in case of car condition appraisal in the future, he must carefully review the procedures for following the car.

Fang Yuan pondered and went to the master to ask how to verify the authenticity of the procedures, and then Sun Yanming began to talk about a liar he had seen.

At that time, a car dealer in Tianhong's second-hand car market made a mortgaged car, because there were no procedures for fear of being seized by the traffic police on the road, so he wanted to find a license plate on the door.

As a result, a scalper in the Tianhong second-hand car market found him, claiming to be able to check the file, do the real procedures, and change the number, only need to use a laptop computer and laser number change equipment to remove the water tank and front face, and change the frame and engine number in more than an hour.

And the changed number is exactly the same as the original car, without any traces of alteration.

Sun Yanming asked everyone: "What do you think will be the final result?"

Liu Liang replied curiously: "Successfully changed?"

"Get a hammer. Sun Yanming laughed, "That car dealer was deceived." ”

Fang Yuan was really speechless, this liar even deceived the car dealer, and he was even more frustrated.

"It's all trivial, and I'm going to tell you about the scams I've seen and heard over the years. ”

"The last identification function of the big green book is to record the two most important information on the second page: the vehicle identification number/frame number and engine number. The vehicle identification number/frame number is equivalent to the ID card of the car, and the engine number is the ID card of the engine. In order to let everyone see and remember it clearly, Sun Yanming asked Liu Liang to put the Volkswagen Passat back down, and at the same time took out a big green book for everyone to see the second page.

Everyone gathered in front of Sun Yanming and saw where he pointed to it, and a string of numbers and letters mixed with the mark was clearly displayed on it.

"As a car's ID card, the vehicle identification number/frame number of each car is absolutely unique, and there will be no duplicate number for at least 30 years, and it is all 17 digits, and the format is uniform around the world. Sun Yanming pointed to the number in the column of the vehicle's identification number/frame number and said, "I won't introduce to you what each number or letter represents, you just need to remember that the frame number has three places on the body, the first is in the lower left or right corner of the front windshield." The second is on the body nameplate, the third is on the body frame, and the three numbers must be exactly the same, and the vehicle identification number/frame number on the big green book is the same. ”

At this time, the Volkswagen Passat had been put down again, and Sun Yanming motioned for everyone to come and check.

Fang Yuan thought as he walked: "In addition to the places mentioned by Manager Sun, there are also vehicle identification numbers/frame numbers on the owner's manual and insurance policy. ”

Fang Yuan thought so, but he didn't say it, and at this time, Manager Sun stretched out his hand and pointed to the lower left corner of the front windshield.
