Speaking of the cheapest joint venture B-class car, which car do you think of first? Orangutan, what's my first thought? Chevrolet Mai Rui Bao. At present, the official guide price of Mai Rui Bao is 154900, which has a very amazing discount in the terminal market. The lowest quotation of a certain company has reached 1 16900. I believe this is not the lowest price. In fact, buying a low-priced Mai Rui Bao is only the appearance of 65,438+10,000. You know, for many joint venture brands, 65,438+10,000 can buy a compact A-class car, and the configuration is not so good. Therefore, Mai Rui Bao is undoubtedly the cheapest joint venture B-class car.
Some friends may say that it is a low-profile model of 1.3T three-cylinder engine +CVT, which has the body size of a B-class car, but has no soul of a B-class car at all. Indeed, the universal three-cylinder machine is not accepted by most Chinese people, but the large discount on new cars is good for consumers, especially those who want to buy used cars. The price of second-hand Mai Rui Bao was lowered as a whole. Car dealers don't want to accept Mai Rui Bao because they can't afford it. When the old owner sells the car, it is almost the price of cabbage. Therefore, it is quite cost-effective to buy second-hand Mai Rui Bao.
Today, I will help my fans test a 17 1.5T Mai Rui Bao. Fans don't have much budget, but they have space needs for home use. When they saw Mai Rui Bao, a powerful American sports style, they fell in love with it. But after all, used cars are tricky, so you come to us for a comprehensive test. Next, it's my turn to play. Let's get to know the basic information of the vehicle first.
Model year: Chevrolet Mai Rui Bao? 20 17? 1.5T？ Automatic deluxe edition? Factory date: 20 17-02? Express mileage: 5 1873 km
Manufacturer's guide price: 179900.
Dealer's quotation: 88,000 yuan
Test location: Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province
The order of inspection is still from the outside to the inside. Turn the car around first and have a general understanding of the car paint. What can you see from the side of the car? Yes, it is dust, haha! It seems that the dealership didn't clean the car very well! But overall, it looks pretty good.
It is preliminarily judged that the front and rear bumpers and the right rear fender of the car have been repaired by painting, and there are orange peel lines on many paint surfaces. The orange peel on the front bumper is very obvious, and there is paint residue left by spray painting on the finger position. There is no doubt that the second painting.
Of course, testing can't just rely on experience, so the testing tools come on stage. The paint face value of the left front fender is 448um, and the painting is obvious. The left front door, the left C-pillar and the left rear fender were also painted.
When testing the right rear fender, it was found that there was a heavy metal sheet extending into the door frame in a straight line. Is this the rhythm of cutting and welding? It seems that this car is interesting! We continue to look down.
This is the paint value of the right rear lower door frame, up to 133 1um. There is no deviation in the sheet metal painting, and it is also a line-drawing trajectory as shown above. An orangutan was detected here. I guess there should be a cut on the right rear fender of this car.
Then I looked for clues to cut and measured the paint surface of the trunk lid. Only 68um thick, much thinner than the original car paint. So, I opened the trunk, and the fixing screws of the back cover seemed normal, but the white paint mist on the wiring harness next to it betrayed everything. It seems that the back cover has been changed. As for the reason for the replacement, I can't think of any other reason except the accident collision.
There is a big difference in the paint face value of the water guide groove on both sides of the trunk, and the left side is more than 90 um, which is normal; On the right is 1788um, which is as heavy as the right rear fender. It seems that the situation in the right back part is not simple!
It is very important to check the inside of the trunk, with emphasis on the inside of the right rear. This naked welding repair is not disguised at all! It can be proved here that the right rear fender is cut and the body is cut and welded. According to national standards, this Mai Rui Bao is an accident car.
In the subsequent paint inspection, the right rear door was painted, but it was not replaced. It should be the collateral injury of the right rear accident. The remaining right front door and right front fender are all original paint.
Go to the engine compartment after the appearance inspection. The engine room has a clear layout and a layer of floating ash on the surface, which is still the original state of the vehicle. This Mai Rui Bao is equipped with the mainstream 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 170 horsepower and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, matching the 6-speed automatic manual transmission. In terms of power, the family is more than enough.
The fixing screws of the machine cover have not been unscrewed, and the fixing screws of the blades on both sides have not been moved. In addition, the front water tank frame is also in the original factory state, which basically excludes the accident suspect of the front of the car.
Although the engine has experienced more than 50 thousand kilometers of wind and rain, the surface is still clean, the mechanical screws are intact, and there is no trace of oil leakage, unlike German cars.
In terms of oil and water in the whole vehicle, the freezing point detector shows that the freezing point is below MINUS 40 degrees. It seems that the car can survive this winter safely, and the water content of brake oil is qualified, so it doesn't need to be replaced at present. Battery tester shows battery life 100%, which can be used continuously.
Open the door and check the inside. Although the interior is not luxurious, it feels well-made and has little wear in the car. Moreover, the central control panel and the door trim panel have been changed to red and blue, which reminds me of Spider-Man.
The steering column, seat fixing screws, seat frame and bottom slide rail are free of rust, and the cigarette lighter is clean without sediment. Combined with other interior parts, the suspicion of blisters on the car can be ruled out.
Looking at the main driving seat belt produced in February 20 18, I was lost in thought. The car was produced in February 20 17, and it was replaced. The reason is self-evident, which is caused by the right rear accident. There are five seat belts in the whole vehicle, the main and co-pilot seat belts are replaced, and the rear seat belts are original parts.
There are no other abnormalities in the interior, and the next step is the dynamic road test. For safety reasons, we stipulate that photos are not allowed during the road test, so please ask the old driver to make up the pictures of the car! Let's talk about the feelings of the road test! The throttle response speed is very sensitive when accelerating and decelerating, and the chassis is relatively solid. 1.5T power overtaking is relatively easy, but the direction is a little to the right and the sound insulation of the car is uncomfortable. When the speed increases, tire noise and wind noise will fill your ears. My head is buzzing. ...
I drove the car to the place where I put the shelf and held it high. At first glance, the chassis is neat, and there are no obvious scratches on the bottom.
There is no trace of oil leakage or disassembly and maintenance of the engine gearbox, but the right rear corner is like this. The disassembly and replacement of the rear anti-collision steel beam is certain, but the welding process of the right rear longitudinal beam is a bit rough. It feels like it was produced by an unskilled apprentice, or the maintenance worker was lovelorn, which is the same as random welding. As for the later stability and durability, it is ignored.
It's also the right rear side, looking at the potholed rebuilt body, which further proves my judgment that the right rear fender is cut because this part is wrapped by the lining.
Finally, the electronic control system of the automobile is tested. I took out a special diagnostic instrument. After some skillful operation, the computer shows that there is a fault code in the ABS electronic control system, which needs our timely maintenance.
At the end of this inspection, let's sort out the following questions:
Vehicle appearance inspection: front bumper painting, left front fender painting, left front door painting, left C-pillar painting, left rear fender painting, rear cover replacement, right rear fender painting, right C-pillar painting, right rear upper beam painting, right rear door painting and right rear fender cutting;
Engine compartment inspection: no abnormality was found;
Vehicle interior inspection: the B-pillar interior trim panel is loose, the main and co-pilot seat belts are removed and replaced, the main driver airbag is removed, and many interior trim panels are modified;
Vehicle start-up detection: ABS has fault code;
Vehicle function test: the rear taillight is not on, and the tire wrench and trailer hook are missing;
Vehicle road test detection: left deviation;
Vehicle chassis inspection: replace the left rear tire, scrape the right rear hub, remove the rear anti-collision steel beam, weld the right rear longitudinal beam, weld the rear fender and weld the inner lining of the right rear fender.
Generally speaking, the right rear longitudinal beam of this vehicle is welded, and the main structural parts of the vehicle are impact repair, which is defined as a class 5 accident vehicle; Everything else is fine, and the engine gearbox is also very good. Summarize the car condition and tell the fans, then show him the relevant parts. Fans said: longitudinal beam repair? Blade cutting? The condition of the car is so bad that the seller is not honest at all! Tell me it's ruined! Fans are obviously not interested in this car. After a polite farewell, I set foot on my way home.
The manufacturer's guide price of this Mai Rui Bao is 65,438+0,799,900. After the discount is removed, it will cost more than 65,438+0,500 to complete the new car. Today, the used car market is 80,000, which is only the retail price of car dealers. The car collection price will not be higher than 70 thousand, and the owner will lose more than half after three years of driving, which makes anyone feel uncomfortable. Today, this Mai Rui Bao is an accident car. Although the price of 88,000 yuan sounds smooth, it is definitely high, but after all, the reserve price of 70,000 yuan can still be held for such a large industrial product.
Orangutan, I thought for a moment. Actually, I can't say how bad the seller's conscience is. Although everyone doesn't want to touch the accident car, not every driver is particularly good at driving. Accident cars will inevitably appear and flow into the used car market, and the market competition is becoming more and more fierce. The accident car still has some value. As long as they can make profits, business can still be done. As long as we follow the market rules, it is understandable and acceptable for buyers and sellers to be honest and trust each other, and not to cheat or shoddy. Used cars are really a tormenting business, and businesses that can operate in good faith deserve admiration!
Ok, that's the end of today's test sharing. I am a used car inspection technician who was born as a car inspector. Like it, like it, and spray it if you don't like it. I repair cars more, study less and write poorly. Please forgive me. Car inspector, I would like to be your best friend who knows cars!
