How to Identify the Quality of a Used Car?
1 Answers
Here are specific methods to identify the quality of a used car: 1. Carefully inspect the exterior. For any accident vehicle, after major repairs, there will be noticeable differences in the gaps between body panels and the car's waistline. 2. Check the doors. Doors that have not been disassembled should open and close smoothly. Doors that have been disassembled multiple times will not only be difficult to open and close but may also have damaged seals, and in severe cases, the door may not close properly without applying force. After pulling down the door seal, normal vehicles should have weld points that are perfectly round and slightly recessed. If the weld points are rough and unevenly arranged, and there is a color difference in the paint on both sides of the A-pillar, B-pillar, and C-pillar, it can be confirmed that the car is an accident vehicle. 3. Open the engine compartment for a thorough inspection. Check the longitudinal beams for deformation, cuts, or deformation of energy-absorbing holes, look for signs of screw movement on the shock absorber suspension, inspect the sealant and weld points, and examine the radiator support and radiator for signs of repair or replacement after collision deformation. If any are found, the radiator must have been repaired or replaced. Damage to the radiator support may affect the engine or frame, so pay attention to the inspection of related components. 4. Inspect the A, B, C, and D pillars. Look for deformation, cuts, sheet metal repairs, and paint conditions. If any are found, the vehicle likely has been involved in a major accident.
