What are the cool traps of buying second hand cars in summer?

Summer is a time when the sun is "magnifying", but it is also the season of thunderstorms. Especially in southern China, some heavy rainstorms do not even come without warning before they fall, and some low-lying cities and areas with heavy rainfall often have vehicles flooded, resulting in a large number of soaking trucks. A soaked car is like moldy rice, and everyone wants to dispose of it.

If it is sold as a scrapped car, it is naturally a pity, and it can't be sold for a few dollars, if it is sold to a second-hand car dealer, although it will be greatly discounted, but it is always much higher than the price of scrap iron. Therefore, in the used car market in summer, the influx of soaking cars is much higher than usual.

When buying a used car, in order to avoid buying a soaked car, people tend to check 4 important places. The first step is to check the degree of rust of the chassis, if there is a large area of rust or multiple rust, and with mold, consumers have to be careful;

The second step is to check the interior to see if there are water stains, mildew spots, mud stains, etc. in the smaller corners, check whether the buttons on the center console are abnormal, and check whether the seats are moist or smell musty;

The third step is to check the trunk to see if there is water around the spare tire box, whether the spare tire is rusty, etc.;

The fourth step is to inspect the engine compartment, if the engine compartment looks refurbished, then the car is suspicious, if there are water marks, water stains, etc., you have to be careful. Especially the fireproof board between the engine compartment and the driver's seat, this part generally does not need to be cleaned and cleaned, if it is a soaking truck, because the surface of the fireproof board is not smooth, it will leave mud and sand with watermarks, this is very good to find, if it is a new fireproof board, it is very doubtful.

It is not good to test the anti-freezing performance of the car, which is more troublesome.

Be careful when buying a used car, there are really a lot of pitfalls.

Problems that may not appear in the summer will appear in the winter, such as the problem of frost protection.

The performance of the engine is a problem, and the durability is not well tested.

It is recommended not to buy a second-hand car, after all, second-hand cars are prone to problems.

Problems that are not easy to encounter in the summer will occur frequently in the winter.

There are many engines that are afraid of the cold and cannot be seen in summer.

There will really be a lot of problems with this used car.

There are many problems, such as the engine of the vehicle.

Its air conditioning system isn't that good.

The weather is hot and prone to heavy rain, second-hand cars must be careful not to buy a soaked car, if the engine is flooded, such a car is not worth buying.

Choose a certified used car Don't buy a car that has been soaked in water.

There is a lot of rain in summer, especially the recent floods in various places, many cars are soaked in water and scrapped by second-hand dealers at low prices, so be careful not to buy this kind of car, the surface can not be seen, the damage to the internal parts is serious, the hidden danger is very large, generally buy second-hand cars I recommend brand second-hand car stores to buy, because it is the brand official certification of second-hand cars, directly affect the brand reputation, so there will be no cat greasy, ** vehicles will go through strict testing, such as Audi second-hand car 4S store such a brand second-hand car store,** The vehicle must be within five years of 100,000 kilometers of the model, and then through the Audi official certification of second-hand car testing, eliminate all faults, to ensure that the non-refurbished modified car soaked car fire car accident car, etc., and then through the official certification of the refurbished maintenance to reach the level of quasi-new cars, evaluation, not only the quality of the model, after-sales is also good, buy a year warranty for one year, very cost-effective.

Cheap, of course. Because if you choose to buy a used car in the summer, if you don't check some small places after buying the car, it may cause you a lot of trouble.

The first is to check whether the water tank is clean, if the heat dissipation hole is blocked by dirty things, it is easy to cause the water tank to boil; In addition, if the original owner wants to use water instead of antifreeze cheaply, it is easy to cause the water temperature to be too high and open the pot. Therefore, you must do a good job of cleaning the car hail water tank and check whether the antifreeze is qualified.

The second is to carefully check whether the circuits and oil circuits of the car are softened, short-circuited, and leaking, especially for vehicles with a long service life. Many experienced taxi drivers gently wipe the oil stains on the engine compartment wiring with cotton silk before leaving the car in the summer. This point must not be ignored, otherwise the second-hand car you bought for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands may become scrap metal in an instant.

The third is to do a good job in checking the tire pressure and tread of car tires. Due to the high ground temperature in summer, long-term driving increases the tire temperature and tire pressure, which is prone to punctures. A tire pressure gauge should be used to check the tire pressure source, reduce the tire pressure to about 90% of the normal value, if you find that the tire is aging, there are cracks on the side, etc., you must replace it in time.

Special reminder: If there is really a high-speed puncture, do not subconsciously slam on the brakes, the safe way is to hold the steering wheel tightly with both hands, do not let the car deviate in the direction of the puncture, try to control the straight direction, and at the same time release the accelerator, tap the brake to let the car slow down, and then stop to the side of the road.
