Apr. 10, 2023

But the second-hand trailer is not a new car after all, may be due to the early non-standard use of many hidden problems, if the owner is not careful to look away, spend money in vain not to mention, the follow-up may also face a lot of trouble.
Today, Da Rong Axle for you to summarize some of the old drivers in the time to buy a used car summed up some experience to help you "avoid the pit".
1, check the qualification of the vehicle. The most important step in choosing a car is to look at the relevant qualifications or procedures, such as the vehicle registration certificate (or the original invoice for the purchase of the car), the driving license, the vehicle purchase tax certificate, road maintenance procedures, the strong insurance, engine nameplate, transmission nameplate, frame number, vehicle nameplate, certificate of conformity, etc.
Check whether the data is consistent, see whether the vehicle belongs to a personal account or company account, if the vehicle registration certificate, driving license is missing and not timely replacement, then the car may be a "black car", if the traffic insurance, vehicle road maintenance fee there are fees default problems, the buyer will increase a large amount of expenditure. In addition, you need to pay extra attention to the time of issuance, which can be inferred from the real year of the vehicle.
2, check the vehicle three major parts. This is the focus of the selection of used cars, to look at the vehicle is not the original three major parts, whether there is damage, to see the engine, the transmission is not leaking oil, the chassis beam is not deformed, the beam on a variety of the same type of screws are not differences and thus determine whether the repair. Don't mind the hassle, after all, the cost of buying a used car is quite a lot, if necessary you can beat up the cab or crawl under the frame to check.
3, check out the vehicle leaf springs and rear axle. The rear axle and leaf spring of the trailer is the key to the bearing capacity of the vehicle, you can check the number of leaf springs and the wear and tear of the upper and lower fixed position of the leaf spring, so as to judge the previous use of the vehicle. For the vehicle rear axle, pay attention to check whether there are cracks or welding marks, you can use a ruler to measure the wheelbase of the rear axle, so as to compare the vehicle registration certificate with the certificate of conformity, to avoid the existence of vehicle modification, affecting the performance of the parts.
It is worth noting that there are many rear axle components, many of which are indistinguishable to the naked eye, but have a great impact on subsequent use, so it is advisable to buy a used car owners, try to replace the rear axle with a new one. There are many brands of axles on the market now, and some of them are of reliable quality and relatively affordable, such as Da Rong axles, which are very suitable for car owners with a low budget.
4, check the vehicle name brand. You can check the date of manufacture on the vehicle nameplate with the frame number on the beam, or you can judge by the tenth digit code in the vehicle identification code.
5, check the windscreen and vehicle production date. The last two digits on the code at the bottom of the windscreen generally represent the date of production. If this date is later than the vehicle's production date, it means that the windscreen may have been replaced.
6. Check the body paintwork. Generally speaking, there will be more or less colour differences in the paintwork of the car, and the level of sheet metal workmanship varies, so the flatness of the paintwork will be more or less the same as the original. You can check the paintwork on the front and rear bumpers, cab doors, front hood and bodywork to determine whether the vehicle has been cut or collided with, and you can also look at the lights to see if there are polishing marks.
7. Check the cab. When looking at the car, remember to observe in detail whether there are welding traces inside and outside the cab, you can open the soft package trim, so you can check more clearly. If the vehicle has been damaged due to an accident and the cab needs to be cut and repaired, there will generally be welding marks, and this later welding may lead to poor sealing, noise and other problems.
8. Check the mainframe screws closely. Different host factories use different screws, generally will be printed with the corresponding representation, and no disassembly of the original screws will probably not rust, you can judge through these two points whether the parts have been disassembled.
9, check the vehicle sound. For example, whether there is a strange noise when the doors are opened and closed, whether the engine sound is normal, and whether the sound of the tyres is qualified by knocking. Of course, this also requires a certain amount of experience, so it is best to bring a friend who knows about cars with you when you buy a car, or to try out the same model, the same brand or engine before you buy the car, and then do the comparison.
10. Check the illegal records. The market for many used cars for sale there are untreated traffic violations, once you buy such cars, consumers have to be the previous owner of the traffic violations "responsible", otherwise it is not able to transfer the vehicle transfer.
The actual car is a lot more than just a few of the most popular and popular cars on the market. Once this happens, the result can only be to be led by the nose by the car dealer and to find out that it doesn't suit you when you buy it back home.
