Today it is almost impossible to find an entire, reliable, legally clean car on the secondary market. But one is a repainted bumper, and the other is a
It is worth opening a free classifieds board or coming to the site, because all cars are in excellent condition and deserve not only attention, but also a high price. Everywhere you look – everywhere “the ideal, grandfather went to get bread once a week.” In our country, only “grandfathers” sell cars. In practice, however, this is impossible: the combination of modern speeds and the skills of drivers means that even a completely new car has already been visited by a painter. What can we say about the commonly used “secondary”? In short, you will find an accident-free car only through acquaintances, and even there they will probably embellish the truth. Friendship – friendship and money apart.
But it is worth distinguishing between minor repairs in the style of replacing bumpers in combination with cosmetic adjustments and a full restoration. The replacement of a broken wing will not make the body worse – this is a hinged element that, even with a centimeter of putty, will not affect safety and controllability. In the end, you can buy a new part and replace the poorly repaired part yourself. Another thing is the load-bearing elements, for example, spars.
They will not be replaced during garage repairs – and before they are sold, no one will invest in a broken car, they will try to restore it to working order with extremely cheap methods – they will not change. They are pulled out with a ramp – special equipment that allows you to return the metal to the shape specified during stamping. Dealers know that the ramp leaves marks that are visible under a coat of putty and paint, so the first thing they look for is that one.
But in order to understand what to look for, you need to understand the principle of operation of the equipment: the machine is fixed on the platform, the damaged element is attached with special clamps to a thick chain, which, in fact, is pulled out. The “sponges” of the vise clamps are tightened with all their strength so that they do not come loose, deforming the metal at the attachment point. Punching with a hammer, applying a particularly thick layer of putty or paint will not be there, they leave it as it is. And this is very, very noticeable – you just need to know where to look.
Looking around in a used car, “outbid” will always carefully check the spars at the attachment points to the bumpers and the “TV”. Look at the body amps. It is not very convenient to look there: sometimes you even have to lie on the floor, but there, most likely, you will see traces of a serious body repair – restoring the geometry of the car. If you don’t do this, you will get junk.
In three cases out of four, the “drawn” machine is skewed and oblique, which, of course, will affect both the operation and the consequences of even the smallest, sometimes imperceptible accident. In other words, if you decide to take a used car without the help of an automatic selector, do not be lazy – inspect the sales copy from above, from the side and from below …
