So, you have accumulated a small amount of money to buy the first car. Typically, this car is Russian -made cars. How not to buy a car with problems and choose a decent option? This is what will be discussed in this article. Choosing the right car of Russian production.What do we buy when we give money for the car? Documents? No, not right, we buy a body and an engine, and everything else can be successfully repaired and inexpensively at any car service, since they are now full. The main thing when choosing any car, including imported, is an inspection of the body and engine along with the checkpoint. Moreover, the body is in the first place, t.To. The body repair sometimes cost a lot of money, and sometimes not at all repaired (very old car). For example, a full digger of rotten nine will cost you at least 15,000 rubles. Namely, 10,000 rubles will be taken from you for work, and the rest will go to body iron and other little things. Painting, so generally expensive, to completely paint the car can cost at least 30,000 rubles. For comparison: replacing one rack will cost you approximately 1,500 rubles. Replacing ball support of 500 rubles.
Why do you need a “nonsense”
Many experts always recommend buying a non -car car, that is, which has never participated in accidents or participated, but in very weak ones (replacing the wing or door coat). Why so? At the factory, the car body is covered with a special anti -corrosion coating, and the structure of the factory metal is such that it is resistant to corrosion. With significant damage to the metal, minor deformations of the entire body occur and thus this coating is destroyed, although the paintwork is not affected. This mainly applies to the junction of parts and welding. It is from there that the car begins to be covered with rust and then pulls the whole car. It would seem nothing bad and there is no, well, they hit the car a little, straightened, painted, it even better looked like. But no, in the end, such a car will rot faster than the initially whole. Again, it’s no secret about the quality of work today. Everyone strives to save and apply, for example, paint immediately on transportation soil, which will last at best a year. So nothing good is that the car was once in an accident. Of course you say: “The car is 10 years old, as you can do without accidents ?”. Yes, I agree, but there is a limit to everything, and if the car was “demolished” entirely, this is already a problematic car. And do not chase at a low price, because everyone knows that the stingy pays twice. Take such a car, and a year later it will bloom or the wing will joyfully peel off on a high pressure washing. Remember the main thing – you buy a car for a long time, and it is not in the best conditions to work.
How to determine the body condition.
And so you arrived to inspect the next car or look at the car market. The first and most important rule: you need to inspect the car in good sunny weather. In cloudy weather, you will not be able to notice the differences in the color of individual details in the absence of proper lighting, and when such a day comes, it will be too late. The car examined should be clean! You won’t see anything on a dirty car, and do not listen to the seller when he tells you that he does not have time to wash the car and sells it very urgently. Many car sellers do not specifically wash the car before selling to hide all the problems of the body under mud. If, for example, you liked the car, you can agree to drive the car to the sink and after the sink to announce the final decision.
VAZ 2115 glass, number 1 near two points – the year of production
The first where you need to start when examining a car is glass. Why do you ask glass? Everything is very simple, on the glass from the plant there is a mark about the year of the production of the glass itself and as a rule this year may coincide with the year of the production of the machine, and it may vary, but for a maximum of one year, but not between the glasses themselves. All years on glasses in a circle should be the same. Take a simple example. You are watching the 2004 car. Examine all the glass and find glass, for example, on the front left door, where the year is indicated by the number 8. What does it mean? That’s right – this means that the glass was replaced in 2007-2008, and for what reason no one will tell you.What can be the reasons:
1. The glass was broken by a small thief to get into the car
2. Glass was broken when it was removed or installed in a “good car service”
3. The glass crashed as a result of an accident.
No one can confirm the first two options, except that the owner of the car who is interested in.
How to check the incredibly of the first two and understand that there was a blow to this body:
The skew of the front right door gives a signal for a detailed inspection
1. Move away from the car and look at the car as a whole. If when painting this part of the car did not get into color during the selection, it will be immediately visible. The seller in such cases refers to the sun or in general to your incompetence. Remember the main rule, the seller needs to sell the car, and not choose a good.
2. Inspect the door as a whole, see how the door skin is installed and whether it coincides with another such door. Inspect the doorway, in it masters love to leave jambs, such as paint and unstable coating. Compare the so -called shagrin on the doors. If it varies, this is an occasion for suspicion. Shagren is when the surface of the paint is not smooth, but a little like an orange crust. It usually does not particularly look in the eyes, it can be seen on a purely washed car in the light at an angle. Close the door smoothly and gently. Pay attention to how it closed and whether it closed at all. Compare with any other door. Closing the door, see how the door adjoins the body, does it appear out or for example lit up down. If any of the shortcomings of these are revealed, the door was definitely beaten and beaten well, and perhaps not only the door.
Carefully inspect the framework. On Samara, for example (2108-2115), they are painted black, and if the stumper is struck by the paint on the frame on this door, then the door was most likely repaired.If the windshield does not coincide for the year, and for example, a car for more than 5 years, this is not so scary. Because during this time a small stone could get into the glass, and a crack could be expelled. But if it is native, it is very good.
Damage to the glass seal near the mirror. This is possible only when disassembling.
Traces of the soil on the bumper say that the wing was painted, but did not try.
On this we will finish watching the car today, and continue it in the next article. Next, we will examine the engineering space, trunk and roof. To be continued.
