"This is the benefit of buying a second-hand car. The functions and equipment added by the original owner are considered free contributions to the later buyer." Both Fang Yuan and Wu Hongjie know that no matter how much the original owner adds, when selling a used car, the They won't pay more for it.

Sometimes the front and rear spoilers, surround, exhaust, suspension, lights, etc. are changed. Not only will the traffic police greet you on the road, but it will also be used by used car dealers as a reason to bargain.

"Some time ago, a car owner came to ask me if I would take the car..." Talking about car modification, Wu Hongjie talked about his personal experience.

It was a 2016 C3L sporty Mercedes-Benz C-Class that was licensed in March 2016 with zero transfer of 200 mileage. The owner was very angry when he first greeted him, saying that his car landed more than 38 that year and cost [-] stickers The battle gray membrane was replaced, [-] was replaced with four forged wheels, [-] was replaced with four BREMBO calipers, and [-] was replaced with matrix headlights...

In the end, he aggressively asked Wu Hongjie how much money he could give.

Wu Hongjie knows that the 16 car has been zero-transferred, and it is still a Mercedes-Benz C. Depending on the condition of the car, the normal price of the car is between 17 and 22.

As for the 20 million car model, Wu Hongjie didn’t dare to be careless if he couldn’t do a good car condition appraisal. After carefully looking at the exterior and interior, he thought it was okay, so he wanted to stabilize him first, and asked a friend at the booth next to him to come over to appraise the car condition.

Who would have thought that the customer would get angry and kept urging Wu Hongjie. Wu Hongjie felt that he had changed so much, so he lowered the price by 16 yuan and quoted the lowest price of [-] yuan.

The customer blushed with anger and exploded on the spot. He almost pointed at Wu Hongjie's nose and said that the car that landed more than 38 years ago cost more than 10 yuan just for modification, but now it only costs 16 yuan for the modification of the car?Just kidding?
Wu Hongjie was called a profiteer by the car owner, but he was not angry when he saw many similar situations, and just asked the car owner to go to another house to ask.

"What happened in the end?" Fang Yuan thought to himself that since so many changes had been made, there was nothing wrong with lowering the price.

"It is estimated that other car dealers gave lower prices. In the end, he turned around and came back." Wu Hongjie said happily, "I found a friend for an appraisal, and the condition of the car is really good. After picking out a few faults, I received 15.5. .”

Wu Hongjie chatted with Fang Yuan as an interesting incident in his career, but Fang Yuan noticed the information he revealed.

Not to mention those novice car dealers who have just debuted, many car dealers know more or less about used car appraisal, know how to look at the paint surface, four beams and six pillars, and screws...

However, Lu Xun taught us: Once there is an appropriate profit, capitalists will be bold; if there is a 50.00% profit, they will take risks; They would dare to commit any crime without a hundred profits, even risking being hanged.

In the second-hand car industry, car dealers have also experienced similar situations when collecting cars, and they have even reached the level of one foot high and two feet high, or even ten feet high.

In the face of increasingly sophisticated counterfeiting and camouflage techniques, the car dealers who are always on the defensive are very passive, especially those with weak strength. They will be beaten and ruined once they misread the condition of the car.

Fang Yuan was thinking that car condition appraisal was a waste of time, the technology was difficult, and car dealers were helpless, but it was a good opportunity for Song Guoyuan and himself who mastered the condition appraisal of used cars.

Because the condition appraisal of second-hand cars relies on experience and technology, it does not require much cost, and it can be regarded as an industry with low investment and high returns.

Fang Yuan himself is the deputy store manager of Zhenghong Automobile, so it is not easy to get involved in these matters, so he can only recommend to Wu Hongjie and say, "Brother, have you heard of Master Song Guoyuan Song in our market?"

"I've heard of it, of course I've heard of it. My idol, I heard that he is very good in auto repair, refitting, and car condition appraisal." Wu Hongjie has worked as a car dealer for so many years, of course he knows that he used to be the master of Tianhong's second-hand cars Song Guoyuan, the auto repair master in the market, "Why do you mention Master Song?"

Facing Wu Hongjie who was full of doubts, Fang Yuan smiled slightly: "Master Song has reopened an auto repair shop now, and you can ask him for a car condition appraisal in the future."

"Really?" Wu Hongjie almost shouted in surprise. He knew that Song Guoyuan had been silent for several years because of family affairs, but he didn't expect that he would come out of the rivers and lakes again now. "Is the appraisal fee expensive?"

"I don't know if the price is expensive or not. Anyway, his auto repair shop is in our Tianhong second-hand car market. You can go and have a look."

"Master Song's auto repair shop is in the Tianhong second-hand car market?" Wu Hongjie really has a headache for the car condition appraisal. If the cost is not high, it is very necessary for him to check every time the car is collected.

After advertising his Jingcheng auto repair shop, Fang Yuan continued to introduce this Toyota Yize.

The overall design of Yize’s interior is centered on the driver, and the angle of the center console is inclined to the main driver. This international mainstream design is more convenient to operate, giving the driver a feeling of being surrounded by it, greatly improving driving comfort and ensuring The driver feels in control.

But Yize's configuration is not high.

Not to mention the central control panel that is equivalent to the high-end version of the CD player, the high-end models of Yize have automatic air conditioning, and can be controlled by dual zones, while the one in front of it is only manual, and the rear row has no air-conditioning outlets. It seems that the needs of the rear passengers have not been considered from the beginning of the design.

The 2018 Yize series comes standard with 17-inch wheels, front McPherson independent suspension, rear E-type multi-link independent suspension, seven airbags, tire pressure monitoring function, seat belt unfastened reminder, children's Seat interface, ABS anti-lock braking, brake force distribution, brake assist, vehicle stability control, traction control, lane departure warning, electronic handbrake, automatic parking, uphill assist and automatic start-stop function.

When Fang Yuan reported the standard configuration of all Yize series one by one, Wu Hongjie listened quietly, and asked after the end: "That's all? Is there any more?"

"The main functions are gone." Fang Yuan told Wu Hongjie, such as reversing video images, keyless start, keyless entry, leather steering wheel, front fog lights, leather and imitation leather seats, the minimum configuration of the 2018 Yize The Yidong version does not.

The 2018 Yize that Wu Hongjie is sitting on belongs to the mid-range Yize version, and the lowest configuration is the 2018 2.0L Yidong version. The official guide price difference between the two was only 8000 yuan.

With the difference of only [-], Fang Yuan strongly suggested not to choose the lowest match, at least choose the middle match.

Because there is no sunroof, you can install reversing radar and reversing images yourself, but you must have a leather steering wheel, leather and imitation leather seats, and keyless start... After all, it is 2020 now, and it is too shabby without these functions. Bar?
"Yize's safety features are quite conscientious, but other functions can only be said to be sufficient." After listening to Fang Yuan's configuration introduction, Wu Hongjie understands that if you buy a 2018 Yize, as long as it is not top-of-the-line, it is considered a good buy Its configuration can only be regarded as so-so, and there are no practical configurations such as automatic air conditioning, parallel assist, and steep slope descent.

"It seems that this Yi Ze is still the same as Toyota, and the configuration is low enough." After sighing, Wu Hongjie continued to ask Fang Yuan, "How about its power and handling?"

"Let's talk about control first." Fang Yuan introduced that Toyota's car positioning has always been family friendly.

The body of this Yize is relatively short, coupled with the hidden rear door handle, the three-dimensional side profile of the body, the slip-back roof, and the black plastic trim at the bottom make the proportion of the body appear thinner. In short, the overall design of the side is similar to two It is a Coupe model, not an SUV like Toyota's Prado and Fortuner.

Therefore, Yize, which looks like a coupe, drives like a car. Its steering wheel is relatively light, so it is suitable for young boys and girls to drive, and meets the needs of modern urban users. Otherwise, it is as heavy as a supercar, and I am afraid it will Scared a lot of people away.

However, compared with the previous Toyota cars, although the steering force of the steering wheel is relatively light and easy to drive, the overall feedback is not ideal. It is like playing a racing simulator when steering, always with the same strength.

In addition, Yize's steering wheel is directional, and the vacancy is not that big.

However, when Yize turns on the spot, there is a certain chance that the steering wheel will creak and creak, and there may be a slight deflection to one side. If the young car owner does not pay attention, it is estimated that he will never find out.

Furthermore, Yize is Toyota's second model built on the TNGA platform in China. The suspension has a good degree of support, and the rebound of the swing arm is also relatively fast. The texture of the chassis is close to that of the new Camry.

Because the body is low and compact, it can easily pass through narrow places when crossing some non-paved roads. The chassis provides good support when walking on bad roads, and the flexible suspension takes care of the ride quality of the members in the car.

"So, Yize is not an SUV that can only shuttle around in the city?" Hearing Fang Yuan's introduction to the chassis and handling, Wu Hongjie thinks that Yize can still go for a wild ride outside the city.

"It's perfectly fine to go on a picnic on weekends." Fang Yuan believes that Yize's motivation is enough to support the demand for travel.

Whether it is the 2018 Yize in front of you or the current 2020 model, all are equipped with a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine with hybrid dual-injection technology.

The engine models are all M20A, with a maximum power of 126, a maximum torque of 203, and a maximum horsepower of 171. The official maximum speed is 185, and the acceleration from zero to 10.3 takes [-] seconds.

Wu Hongjie is familiar with N52, N55, and EA888, but he is not familiar with Toyota's engine. He guessed curiously: "Is this naturally aspirated engine the 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine on the Camry?"

"No, I just said that its model is M20A, which is a Camry 2.5 engine with reduced displacement." Fang Yuan said, "This 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine is matched with a CVT gearbox, which can simulate 10 gears switching."

"CVT gearbox? Isn't it an Aisin gearbox?" Wu Hongjie was a little disappointed. In his impression, Toyota's cars are durable and worry-free. They rely on 1.6, 2.0 naturally aspirated engines and Aisin automatic This classic combination of gearboxes.

"Although the combination of Toyota's 1.6, 2.0 naturally aspirated engine and Aisin automatic transmission is old technology, it is really durable, very worry-free and classic. It is said that it has only passed the break-in period after 30 kilometers, and it ran to 70. [-] kilometers is normal."

This 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine of Yize is noisy, and there are almost no problems under normal maintenance.

Unlike the current Toyota turbocharged engine, it seems that the power is stronger and the fuel consumption is lower, but various problems have also begun to increase.

For example, the oil increase problem that appeared on models such as Asia Dragon and Camry did not exist at all in the past.

The CVT gearbox used by Yize is not as good as the Aisin automatic gearbox.

The advantage of the CVT gearbox is that it is smooth, silky smooth, without frustration, and is more suitable for home use.

But its response is not as crisp as AT and dual-clutch. If you want passion and control, turn left to find dual-clutch or turn right to find AT gearbox.

"It is said that the CVT gearbox has a cold protection phenomenon, especially in Northeast China, driving to work all the way to work, and when the water temperature rises, it has already reached the company. Will this affect the life of the CVT gearbox?"

"The CVT gearbox does have cold protection, especially in Nissan models." Fang Yuan warned Wu Hongjie not to worry, Mitsubishi Outlander also uses Nissan's CVT gearbox, there is no obvious cold protection, and as long as it does not Accelerate frequently, don't step on the floor oil for a long time, maintain the gearbox correctly and in time, the life of the CVT gearbox is longer than the life of the car.

Toyota's CVT gearbox also has no obvious cold protection phenomenon, and it is a bit different from Nissan's CVT gearbox.

Some CVT gearboxes will increase the engine speed when the car starts, and then shift gears.

Therefore, this situation will cause the problem of partial meat and fuel consumption at the start.

Toyota's CVT gearbox simulates 10-speed gears, and gears are added in it. When starting, it first shifts from 1st gear to 2nd gears, and then performs continuously variable transmission. The shifting action is simulated very realistically.

The advantage of this CVT gearbox is that it is very smooth, relatively smooth and fuel-efficient, but it has experienced a large-scale recall of new car manufacturers.

In the Yize produced by FAW Toyota from September 2018, 9 to November 14, 2018, due to the poor riveting of the transmission oil circulation blade, the blade may fall off when the vehicle is repeatedly accelerated, causing deformation. The torque converter is damaged, and in extreme cases, it may cause the power interruption of the vehicle during driving, which poses a safety hazard.

At that time, a total of 10442 vehicles were produced. The solution provided by FAW Toyota and GAC Toyota was to replace the qualified hydraulic torque converter and continuously variable transmission assembly for free for vehicles within the scope of the recall, so as to eliminate potential safety hazards.

Fang Yuan patted the roof of the car and told Wu Hongjie who was sitting in the car that this Yize was fortunately not within the scope of that recall.

At that time, many car owners had only been driving for two months, and they were told that they needed to recall the gearbox for overhaul. One can imagine how uncomfortable they felt.

Wu Hongjie smiled at Fang Yuan, since he didn't drive this car anyway, he didn't care if it was recalled or not.

"Yize's CVT gearbox is smooth, and the power of this 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine is not bad, especially when used in this small car, there is even a little excess power." Fang Yuan remembered one thing, most of Toyota's previous models , including some models of the Japanese and Korean series, the tuning is very badass.

It's just that at the moment of starting, it gives people a very sensitive, even a bit swaying feeling, but the stamina is not enough.

This Yize is different. The 2.0L self-priming engine used in this car has some excess power, but it is actually not as powerful as imagined. It is not like a turbocharged engine, which gives you a sudden Its power output is quite linear and smooth.

This 10-speed CVT gearbox can be simulated. The biggest advantage is that the release of power is adjusted more evenly, and it will no longer be like the early Japanese and Korean cars. The front end is thick and the rear end is weak.

Therefore, with the cooperation of the 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine and the CVT gearbox, the overall acceleration texture of this Yize is more linear and uniform, and the driving texture in the city is more comfortable, and there is no illusion of the chicken thief tuning.

"I remember." Wu Hongjie nodded heavily to show that he remembered, and then asked, "Are there any other common problems?"

"Yes." Fang Yuan pointed at Wu Hongjie's feet, "Yize's brakes make a lot of abnormal noise. When the brake is released or the gear is shifted, there will be abnormal noise when the brakes are released, or the brake pedal vibrates violently during driving and cannot be pressed."
