Appearance and optional component is what motorists often look for when buying a used car. However, not all options are equally good. Especially if they did not appear
It just so happened that we love with our eyes first. We like the thing externally, we close our eyes to the rest, expecting that somehow we will survive, finish it, fix it. This arrangement works very well in the automotive industry. The bright look of the car and the optional part can kill its styles. And many drive without realizing that the options themselves, which the first owner said were designed to give the car a cooler look, could potentially cause damage and danger.
The first thing to look out for are the wheels. Low profile tires are naturally beautiful, sporty and well controlled. However, there are also some pitfalls here. Such wheels are heavier, work harder, shaky. If the suspension of this car is not designed for the installation of such discs, then there may be problems with it. And even if it’s OK now, further operation of the car on shallow wheels and on bad roads will quickly render the suspension useless. Because the inability of a low profile to dampen shock and vibration has the most negative effect on the expensive elements.
If the car has a sunroof or a panoramic sunroof, you should take a closer look. Yes, the option is popular and convenient if you don’t want to use the air conditioning. However, it also has plenty of drawbacks, especially if the sunroof is installed on a car with a solid mileage.
The point is that conductors, power elements and seals wear out over time. And the result of this can be not only the jamming of mechanisms, but also a leak, which, of course, no one will report to you. Meanwhile, the water that accumulates in the cavities between the sealing gum is a direct path to corrosion.
“Yes, I did a chip tuning of the engine – the car is rushing!” says the salesman. Getting rid of the catalytic converter, lowering environmental standards, flashing the engine ECU and sensors – all these are no longer normal engine operating conditions, which, in turn, leads to accelerated wear.
You should also avoid cars with air suspension. Yes, pneuma – it’s comfort. However, she also has her own source. How it was used, under what conditions, whether it was maintained, what mileage – this must be taken into account, because the repair of such a suspension is extremely expensive. Especially now that spare parts and consumables are scarce and expensive. And you just can’t drive a leaning car.
And our favorite robot “mechanics”. If there is one clutch with mechatronics in such a box, then it is better to let such a car pass. The life cycle of such boxes sometimes ends immediately after the first maintenance of the car. Rare specimens can travel from 70 thousand km. And even if the box is more or less alive at the time of purchase of a car, it does not mean that it is imminent. And shaking is the first sure sign that the mechatronics responsible for gear shifting is about to die. And then only nerves and expensive repairs.
When choosing a car on the secondary market, try to approach the process from a practical point of view. Trust me, all these newfangled options are only good on new machines. Furthermore, this is your spending section and revenue for dealers.
