Unfortunately, the recent purchase of a car has become something of a lottery. Unscrupulous dealers, as well as many dealers are willing to take the broken car after the accident, and after a bit of body repair again expose them, but "almost like new." To recognize such an instance in this case will not be easy, because all the problems well hidden. How not to fall for the bait cunning to car dealers - in the review below.
1. Do not trust the seller
Any car before you buy should check carefully. Solemn assurances the seller that the car "is not Bito, I do not paint", as practice shows, are not worth a damn. If the car is taken in the cabin, it is also far from being a guarantee of its good technical condition.
If the buyer has no knowledge of cars, it would be a good idea to agree with the experts in the workshop of the desired inspection of the machine. Also recently in the secondary market are becoming more popular avtopodborschikov services. But it is worth remembering that even professionals sometimes slips happen. In any case, the buyer should to delve into what he is buying, because it is his money.
2. General inspection body
Inspect the exterior condition of the car is better in sunny weather, and if the car is washed clean. A layer of mud, as well as artificial lighting, securely hide many problems paintwork. Do not hesitate to ask the seller to wash the car. If he is interested in the deal, he will do it in advance, the day before the inspection.
Need to go around the car, looking at all the elements of the body. Pay attention to the uniformity of color and roughness, no paint drips. Also, while looking for dents and scratches.
A great help at this stage can become thickness. Even the budgetary instruments to help identify problem areas. However, the complete replacement of the entire parts may not be noticed.
3. uneven gaps
If you do not take into account was a rotten old machine, the gaps between body parts in any vehicle should be uniform along the entire length. If the clearances of the hood, for example, to the left more than the right, it is likely that the body is "led" in a traffic accident.
4. Enjoying the bolt head
When machines clashes inevitably affected body parts: hood, fenders, doors and trunk lid. These elements are either repaired or changed with new ones. In any case, in the repair of their often removed. Naturally, this leaves traces: there is no paint, sealant, scratch fasteners.
5. The integrity of the body
Any car, who was in an accident, gets a "mark" that even after a good repair can always be found. So, if the car drove into the rear, the floor of the vehicle, as well as the body sheets to be uneven, with dents. Perfectly align them is practically impossible. Do not hesitate to remove the boot trim, door card to get to the metal.
It should be remembered that the repair of the places that are not normally visible (under the plates, mats) do not lick as the outer surfaces of the body. Therefore any manipulation with welded seams - the first sign of the bat machine. Compounds of body parts to be performed equally on the left and right side of the vehicle, usually in the form of trim points. If there are differences, then it is another "bell".
Traces of repair often hide under the sound insulation, corrosion protection, sealing compound.
6. Marking lights, windows, seatbelt
Virtually all cars (except for exclusive like Ferrari) are collected on a conveyor belt and parts for them come from other businesses in large quantities. Therefore, when viewed from b / a car worth seeing lights, all windows, seatbelt labels. All these elements are marked, and in the designation of part of the said Year. This date must correspond to the year of manufacture of the machine or one year less. If the vehicle 2012 are glass panes in 2012 - is the norm, if of 2011 - it is permissible (if the machine is assembled, for example, in January), but if 2009 or 2013 - obviously not.
Naturally, the left and right headlamps must be from the same manufacturer, the same applies to the windows. When you restore a car after an accident, no one will "bother" and select the right glass. Therefore, if the vehicle is standing glass with 2-3 different release dates, this is clearly the consequences of repairs.
7. To break the car on databases
The official website of traffic police gibdd.rf anyone can check online "emergency" history of the car, which he wants to buy. All you need to do - it's VIN number. This database contains information about all accidents, since 2015, it has been formalized in the traffic police. Unfortunately, decorated by evroprotokol accident is not registered. much detail as possible to learn about cars from Moscow or the Moscow region Online autocode avtokod.mos.ru. A similar, but more detailed information is available on commercial websites for a small fee (about $ 100).
