The principle of “if you don’t cheat, you don’t sell” has always worked in the used car market. And now professional resellers are using it in very blatant
On the secondary market, with each month that has passed since February last year, it becomes more and more difficult to buy a good used car at a more or less adequate price. Nowadays, finding such a ‘ticket’ is equivalent to winning hundreds of millions of rubles in the lottery. Most relatively cheap and popular used models can boast high mileage or serious claims regarding technical condition. A typical buyer is usually aware of the current gaming conditions and, using all possible methods, tries to identify defects hidden from his eyes by sellers.
For example, he comes to a car selection specialist to look at a car he likes, takes with him a device to check the thickness of the body paint and tries to look under the belly in search of sources of possible technical problems in the future. . But the reseller has to sell the car somehow!
It is becoming increasingly difficult for a scrupulous buyer to “sell” a car that requires serious financial investments or a potentially problematic car. A sparklingly polished body and a steam-cleaned interior are no longer sufficient for this – especially if the customer asks to lift the car onto a lift. And the smart ‘outbidders’ figured out how to deal with this. You can also organize “pre-sale preparation” for the underside of the car!
Its purpose is, for example, to hide traces of serious bodywork repairs or developed rust, to disguise oil leaking from a transmission or gearbox, to give “dead” shock absorbers the appearance of being fully functional, to remove signs that the “ rubber bands” in the suspension or the boots of CV joints are worn beyond repair and are therefore on the verge of falling apart. No reseller will truly eliminate such and similar “schools.” Its job is to make them temporarily invisible at minimal cost.
To do this, the following simple “technology” is used. First the car is lifted onto a lift and the underside is washed. Not necessarily thorough. The most important thing is to remove as much dirt as possible from the components and suspension attached to it. They let it dry and literally pour a greasy layer of the cheapest corrosion inhibitor available. It hides anything that might put off a potential buyer. In addition, the fact of the anti-corrosion treatment of the bottom is presented as an undeniable advantage of the car.
If you are aware of this “outbidding” technique, here’s what you need to do: If you see traces of recent anti-corrosion treatment on a used car you like, refuse to buy it. The technical condition is almost certainly not very good.
