Recently, the editor has received many cases of accidents involving cars. One of the car owners tested three accident cars in a row. How come the idea is so right? It was revealed a while ago that a used car dealer specializes in selling used cars that have been involved in accidents. There is also a saying, "If you want to be rich, have a big accident." The meaning is not difficult to understand. Buying an accident car is much more profitable than an ordinary second-hand car;< /p>

What the editor wants to say is that although second-hand cars have a higher cost performance, you must keep your eyes peeled when buying second-hand cars. You should pay more attention to vehicles of the same model that are too low-priced. ;Before making a transaction, you must understand the actual condition of the car before making a purchase;

People often call a car an accident car after a collision, but this explanation is not certain. An accident does not necessarily mean that it is an accident. car. The definition of an accident vehicle is clearly defined by the country. Its main content refers to vehicles that are damaged due to unnatural loss of accidents, leading to a decrease in mechanical performance and economic value, and vehicles that have structural damage, which affects driving safety.

However, vehicles that are scratched by vehicles in daily life and do not cause structural damage are not included in the scope of accident vehicles.

Today I will share with you the key points of second-hand car inspection. If there are problems in these areas, driving safety is like fried eggs;

Look at the front and rear anti-collision beams

Cars that have been in accidents can usually find traces on the anti-collision beams. Open the front engine cover and check if there are any scratches or signs of welding. The rear anti-collision beam cannot be seen directly, but you can open the trunk and pay attention to see if there are any signs of extrusion, deformation or repair. You can also touch the rubber strips on the trunk to see if they are smooth. If a rear-end collision occurs, the powerful collision will cause damage to the trunk. Once you find that the screws of the trunk have been tightened, you should buy with caution.

Look at the A, B, and C pillars

The ABC pillars not only support the roof of the car, but also protect the people inside the car in the event of an accident. If these three are deformed, it means that they have experienced quite an accident. During inspection, check whether the solder joints are regular. Generally, during repair, a few solder joints will be ground away, and then the tool will be raised into the sheet metal part to repair and re-weld.

When the editor was writing this article, I saw this 16-year-old Toyota RAV4. The ABC pillars and the big roof of the vehicle have been repaired with sheet metal. The values ??have reached more than 1,000 microns. What is the concept? That is, the thickness of the putty is equivalent to a one-yuan coin. ?Looking at it this way, this collision was quite an accident. Did it overturn?

This is a picture of the root of the left front longitudinal beam. It can be seen that there are obvious traces of spot welding. Based on what we saw earlier, we infer that the left front longitudinal member has been replaced. Does anyone know what this means? When passing through a pit, the left front longitudinal beam may be broken directly.

How dangerous a car like this is on the road, you can imagine the safety...

After the editor left, the owner was already very worried, and the buyer was Are you still in the mood to drive such a car?

So when you buy a second-hand car, you should keep your eyes open and understand the actual condition of the car before making a transaction; the above is the key point of accident car inspection. It is recommended that you buy a second-hand car. Whenever possible, try to purchase from regular merchants or trading platforms.
