Chapter 180: Can't Let Anyone Know
The Buick GL8 also has problems with the transmission slippage when upshifting and stuttering when downshifting.
The quality of its brake discs is also not good, which is the most fundamental reason for the steering wheel shake of the Buick GL8.
......
In short, Buick GL8 has been around for many years, and it is a VIP customer of 4S shops and auto repair shops, even if Wan Changming knows the car very well, he will be tired of repairing the car over and over again.
"So many questions?" Wan Changming chuckled in his heart, and opened his mouth to ask if what Fang Yuan said was true or false, but after thinking about it, although he had not been in contact with him for a long time, Fang Yuan gave himself a very good impression, all kinds of data were casually said, all kinds of models were well known, and there were real materials in his stomach, not the kind of salesman who sold cars purely by fooling.
Therefore, because of his trust in Fang Yuan, Wan Changming did not say the question in his heart, but chose to fully believe him.
"The old Buick GL8 has many problems, and his maintenance costs are higher. ”
The high maintenance cost is the second reason why Fang Yuan did not recommend Buick GL8 to Wan Changming.
The motor of Buick GL8 driving side sliding door is particularly easy to break, if you change a side door motor it needs to be 10,000 smaller, and Odyssey changes the motor even if you add the control box is less than 5,000 Chinese dollars.
"So expensive?" In such a comparison, Wan Changming felt that the Odyssey was simply a good baby who saved money and worry.
"Expensive? I'll tell you a few more expensive ones. ”
Ordinary models change the battery once, the cheap is about 300, and the expensive is more than 500.
The Buick GL8 requires 1,090 to change the battery once, because its battery position design is very strange, and it is surrounded by a circle of spare parts such as steering power pumps, steering power oil cans, fuse boxes, ECUs, and water tank frames.
Want to change the battery? Sorry, the owner has to remove all the parts that get in the way.
Therefore, the battery replaced by Buick GL8 is not worth much, and the cost of man-hours far exceeds the cost of materials.
Later, in order to save fuel and meet the national energy-saving standards, Buick GL8 began to use AGM batteries that can be started and stopped.
The automatic start and stop often vibrates at the moment of starting, which affects the comfort of the passengers behind.
In addition, such frequent starts will have a great impact on the engine and battery, and it will definitely shorten the life of the battery and the engine, which is equivalent to repairing the engine and replacing the battery in exchange for saving gasoline.
The quality of Buick GL8's AGM battery is not bad, it is easy to leak, and it is also very expensive to replace the AGM battery, and the price of the 4S store is more than 2,000.
However, the Buick GL8's automatic start-stop cannot be permanently turned off, and it will automatically turn on every time the engine is started.
So in order to avoid troubles, many car owners choose to get on the car first The first thing is to manually shut it off, or simply stop if it is broken, in addition to saving money and worry, you can also avoid embarrassment, because it is always like this, even old drivers are easy to be considered to be rookie novices who drive manual transmissions, and they also need to practice more if they do not cooperate well.
"People change the battery for hundreds of yuan, and the cost of Buick GL8 battery replacement has increased several times, and money can't be wasted like this. Hearing this, Wan Changming's desire to buy Buick GL8 completely sank.
"Buick GL8 battery replacement is not a problem, because there are more bizarre ones. Fang Yuan told Wan Changming that what was even more disgusting was that the engine was about to fall off when the air conditioning belt was replaced, which was extremely frustrating.
"Huh?" Wan Changming opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, he was stunned for a while and then burst out laughing, and asked very curiously, "Since Buick GL8 has so many strange designs, aren't those car owners worried?"
"It's not a nuisance at all. ”
"Why?"
"Do you forget? Buick GL8 is positioned as a commercial vehicle, and the target group is enterprises and institutions, various group companies, and business bosses. Fang Yuan told Wan Changming that those leaders and bosses don't drive in person, and there are drivers and masters to do the car repair, so what's the trouble of being the boss?
Buick GL8 has high maintenance costs, many problems and problems, so drivers can often repair the car.
Therefore, Buick GL8 positioning business vehicle does not matter to enterprises and institutions, group companies and bosses, but it is a heavy burden for private buyers like Wan Changming.
Buick GL8 in addition to high maintenance costs, many problems, its engine is a 2.4L naturally aspirated engine, 186 horsepower, 6-speed manual automatic transmission, driving meat and fuel not to mention, go to the airport, train station to pick up a relative and friend, to the place 80% chance will be driven away, because they treat you as a black car.
"Hahaha. Hearing Fang Yuan's words, Wan Changming began to laugh loudly and felt very helpless at the same time, feeling that if he opened a company and bought Buick GL8, it would be okay to be a family car, and finally completely killed the heart of buying Buick GL8.
Since these cars are not suitable for him, and he doesn't want to buy a Honda Odyssey that makes people collapse at high speeds, he just scratches his head in worry, and he doesn't know how to do it.
Looking at Wan Changming's actions, what he was thinking in his heart, Fang Yuan was clear: "What are you worried about? Buy an odyssey." ”
Wan Changming said with a sad face: "But this noise ......"
In the face of customers' questions, if it was before, Fang Yuan really had no good way to solve it, but now with the primary maintenance and maintenance skills of second-hand cars, I feel that these are not a thing.
"I'll tell you how to fix it. ”
"How to fix it?"
"The interior of the car, the central control abnormal noise, buy a hot melt gun. Fang Yuan said that this kind of hot melt gun costs dozens of dollars a piece, and a glue stick is also given.
Where there is a sound, you can stick it yourself, it is simply a small amount of money to do big things, and it is easy and simple to solve the abnormal noise in the car.
As for tire noise and wind noise at high speed, you can change to silent tires, if you have plenty of money, spend thousands of dollars to make a whole car sound insulation, and perfectly solve the problem of wind noise and tire noise.
"It's so simple?" Fang Yuan thought of a solution for himself, Wan Changming was overjoyed, and immediately said that he would buy this durable, worry-free, and cheap Honda Odyssey, because he decided to follow Fang Yuan's suggestion, buy a hot melt gun first, and then do the sound insulation of the whole car.
Wan Changming excitedly sat in the car and looked at his car, but Fang Yuan, who was standing on the side, was silent, because he thought that Wan Changming would do the whole car sound insulation.
If you open an auto repair shop at this time, you can introduce Wan Changming to your shop to do the whole car soundproofing, and you can earn money twice inside and out.
"Hey, I missed a chance. Fang Yuan thought of the four shops that Lao Wang wanted to sell, and he couldn't wait.
The customer made up his mind to buy a car, and Fang Yuan led Wan Changming to the manager's office to sign the contract.
At this time, among the other three, Liu Liang actually sold a Nissan Loulan, and also led customers to Sun Yanming.
In front of the customer, Fang Yuan couldn't congratulate Liu Liang, but just smiled at him and secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Liu Liang responded to Fang Yuan with a smile very happily, and took a step back to let Fang Yuan advance the manager's office.
Fang Yuan took the customer to sign the contract and waited for Liu Liang outside, and after Liu Liang came out of the manager's office, he looked left and right and saw that only Fang Yuan was standing in front of him, and his face immediately smiled: "Fang Yuan, I finally sold two cars today, hahaha." ”
"Not bad, not bad. Fang Yuan congratulated Liu Liang with a smile and told him to take advantage of the peak season of these two months to strive for more money.
"I remembered. "I sold two cars today, Liu Liang is very happy to go home satisfied, "Go, get off work." ”
"Wait, let's go together when Manager Sun comes out. Fang Yuan motioned to Sun Yanming to sign a contract with the client in the office to go through the formalities, and he couldn't leave him here alone.
Zhao Daming and the two saw that Fang Yuan hadn't left, and they also walked towards them, and the four of them chatted for a while, Sun Yanming finally signed all the contracts and walked out of the office with Liu Liang's client.
Turn off the lights and lock the door, Fang Yuan stood at the door and grabbed Liu Liang and didn't let him go any further, he wanted to go to see Lao Wang's four shops again, so he told everyone that he had something to do, so he wouldn't go with everyone.
Sun Yanming stared at Fang Yuan, as if he had guessed what he wanted to do, he immediately pulled Fang Yuan aside, lowered his voice and warned him: "I know you want to go to Lao Wang, don't worry about this matter, you can't let anyone know, understand?"
"I see. Fang Yuan knew what Sun Yanming meant, and nodded heavily to indicate that he must be careful.
