Some of the methods used by car salesmen and not particularly scrupulous car owners to increase the proceeds from the sale of the vehicle are a big secret for most ordinary motorists. Portal “AvtoVzglyad” tells about one of them – few of the non-professionals are known.
A potential buyer of a used car “in perfect condition, no accidents” or an expert picker hired by him usually has to kind of crawl around and examine the interior thoroughly. This is necessary to identify characteristic “clues” that indicate a twisted mileage or the presence of serious accidents in a car’s history.
There are quite a few similar “beacon markers” for a potential buyer. One is certain problems with airbags. After all, when the airbag “fires”, it means that the impact during the accident was very strong. And, accordingly, more than significant damage to the car occurred.
With the right qualifications, it is possible to repair the hardware almost perfectly after such an accident. But the presence of “shooting pillows” will insidiously cross out the results of even the most virtuoso work of lightningsmiths. And a potential buyer of such a car will rightly demand a price reduction on the basis that under the guise of “not a little, not pretty” they are offered, for example, a “changer” or a vehicle “dazzled” from two candidates for a landfill. So for the seller (or reseller) of a broken car, deployed airbags are a serious problem.
Note that for a reseller such a car is a real treasure. He buys it for little, confidently lowers the price, and insists only on the car’s major accident history during the appointment. And after not particularly costly manipulations, he resells it with a hefty profit.
Since cars with “living” airbags can be sold for much more, as accident-free, the problem with “cushions” should be solved. In large cities there are enough workshops that specialize in solving such problems.
You can restore the working capacity of absolutely any type of pillow: front, side, “blind” on the window, knee. For clarity, let’s consider a fairly simple example with two “shot” airbags: the driver is at the wheel and the front passenger. You can focus on the following prices: a replacement with complete masking of the traces of the operation of the airbag in the steering wheel will cost about 7,000 rubles, and a similar operation with a passenger cushion will cost about 8,500 rubles
Some offices “liquid” another about 1,500 rubles “for installation and disassembly”. A mandatory operation is to erase the airbag trigger markers from the car’s brain. This is about another 3000 ₽ Total, replacing two ready-made pillows will cost about 20,000.
Decent. But after that, the “outbid” will be able to resell the restored car under the guise of not being beaten for hundreds of rubles more than it was bought! A potential buyer will not even suspect anything.
