It won’t work to change so we patch what we have. Countless motorists who believed in marketing and “buy a new one in three years” faced such a problem. Unfortunately, you can’t buy no matter how many loans you take out, there aren’t enough cars on the market and the refinancing rate is still 12%, making any loan unaffordable. We will have to fix our “float” and hope that tomorrow will be better. In such a bond, even the repair of the internal combustion engine does not seem like a reason for sale – it is better not to take anything.
If you find yourself with such thoughts and a hole in your pocket on the pages of the World Wide Web, you can go crazy: prices are reaching the ceiling and clattering six-digit numbers far from the first order. And if the fate of the villain brings the “three-ray star” or the Bavarian mechanical engineering, then write “lost”. And then, like a ray in a dark kingdom, a mysterious but uplifting announcement: they say, for a “hat of crackers” and a kind word, we will fix everything.
Luck! It is necessary to take it as soon as possible, until they change their mind and become like everyone else around. Let it be a simple iron garage with men in greasy overalls, from which a mile away smells of “yesterday”. Let there be skeletons of Zhiguli nearby, and broken keys on an old workbench. Really, it’s not the gods who burn the pots. But the price is three times lower than the “market”!
I hasten to disappoint: at an astonishing price for a shot from an internal combustion engine, the master gets a little: from 25,000 to 50,000 rubles. And everything else is spare parts, the prices of which fail to notice the deflation announced everywhere. On the contrary: they grow like weeds. You do not need to have seven spans to independently calculate the final cost of the necessary spare parts. We’re not going to open the engine for any reason, regularly pay for a new set of gaskets and work, so we’re doing everything we can to buy a delay for a few more years.
Mathematics is not a statistic, it does not lie. An engine repair can not cost 50,000 or even 75,000 rubles, if you only need to buy a hundred parts. Miracles do not happen, but in today’s world it is so certain: if a set of gaskets costs 12,000-15,000 thousand, up to a thousand are requested for each valve, and there are 16 of them, and a set of original pistons for LADA Vesta is 15,000 rubles, then believing in a conditional Nissan engine overhaul for a hundred is a questionable occupation. But you still need to get the cylinders in order – they will definitely find wear there, polish the cylinder head, wash everything, and do not forget about new oil, candles and filters with belts. Oh yeah, timing, pump. On the tighter “Vesta” – 19,000 rubles ….
The real cost of overhauling an ordinary internal combustion engine starts just at 150,000 rubles. For example, to pick out the engine G4KE beloved by Russians – Kia Sorento 2.4 liters, gasoline – will cost 180,000 rubles, depending on the depth of the problem. A similar Mitsu engine – a related 4B12, which is similar to Korean, like two drops of water – will cost the owner one and a half times more in an “overhaul” – Japanese spare parts cost much more than Korean.
The result is simple: it is better to pay once and drive for a long time than to throw the last money into the abyss and be completely without a car. Dismantling the engine and mounting it on old or used spare parts is not a shot, but a deception, which in the future will require additional investments in the form of those 150,000 – 200,000 rubles. Miracles don’t happen.
