My Years As a Car Dealer

Chapter 0309: Offline Car

After two days' journey, we finally arrived in Che County.

Che County is actually just a county-level city, but relying on automobile-related industries, the region's economy is very active, far exceeding the neighboring counties and cities.

From the moment they entered Che County, Zhang Chen and several others kept seeing from the car that cars were parked on the side of the road not far apart.

These cars parked on the side of the road have one thing in common, that is, no matter what model they are, they are all tattered. Gearbox and so on, there is only one empty shell left, and the four places that were originally tires were all padded with a thick stack of bricks.

There is also a long banner on the body, or simply a piece of cardboard, with casual writing on it: "Sell second-hand cars at high prices, and favor large quantities."

Then there are contact information such as phone number, address and so on.

Such a car could be seen not far on both sides of the road, which aroused the curiosity of Jiang Fangyan, who had never seen the world.

Jiang Fangyan lowered the car glass, lay on the window and stared at a pair of big eyes, and asked Zhang Chen without looking back: "What are these for?"

Zhang Chen has since upgraded the car dealer system, and has learned a lot about the inside story of the used car industry. He responded directly without thinking: "Advertising."

"Oh, so it is." Since she has experienced what happened in the zu therapy shop, Jiang Fangyan's attitude towards Zhang Chen has taken a 180-degree turn recently. Putting aside Zhang Chen's simple answer to her before, Jiang Fangyan will definitely Will take the initiative to raise the bar instead of nodding convincingly.

"It's true that used car dealers are advertising, and it's not too long before you can see the car dealers' parking lots." Wang Keqiang is well-informed, adding to Zhang Chen's words with a smile, explaining to everyone.ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

Sure enough, it was not too far into Che County, and along this spacious road, you could already see the parking lots full of cars parked next to each other.

Countless cars crowded the parking lots, like a sea of ​​cars, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Regardless of whether it was the company of Hardan Bartel's family, Jiang Fangyan shouted and stopped to take a look. Even Zhang Chen was full of curiosity about these used car companies.

At the unanimous request of everyone, Wang Keqiang pulled over and stopped.

After everyone got out of the car excitedly, they randomly chose a used car company and walked in.

These used car companies are very different from the used car market in the seaside city. There are no tidy streets in the parking lot, no shops next to each other, and there is no clean and comfortable environment like the four seas.

It's just a piece of empty land, with a simple room at the door, and it says XX Used Car Company, or XX Used Motor Vehicle Management Co., Ltd.

The environment inside is also very "casual". The road surface is simply hardened, and countless vehicles are parked in a mess. The width of the road is barely enough to turn a car.

Besides, the models sold inside aroused Zhang Chen's curiosity, because they were all Elantra, Jetta, Poussin and other models, not to mention Audi A6, BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class and other high-end cars, even Lavida, Golf and other high-end cars. , BMW 1 Series and other grocery shopping scooters are not available.

Not to mention a single model, many vehicles in the parking lot are also in poor condition, some with rust on their bodies, and some even lacking glass, rearview mirrors, tires and other parts.

There are no exciting models. The owner of the store is smoking a cigarette, or sitting at the door with a drink of tea.

Jiang Fangyan and Ling Zhenghao lost their interest after strolling around and left to go to the next car dealer.

As a result, I turned to several parking lots, all of which were in the same situation. Zhang Chen finally confirmed that all the nearby car dealers sold off-line cars, and there were no models other than Jetta, Poussin, and Elantra.

When I walked into a parking lot again, it was different from the deserted situation in the previous ones. There were customers walking around, and a man who seemed to be a car dealer was smoking and waiting not far away.

This time, Zhang Chen stood at the door and activated his used car detection skills. A long red light started from the door and swept across the entire parking lot, instantly understanding the situation of all the models inside.

Based on the condition, mileage, and age of the car, Zhang Chen confirmed that his judgment was correct. All of these car dealers are professionally operating off-line cars.

Off-line vehicles refer specifically to the withdrawal of taxis from operation, turning into non-operating vehicles like private cars, and becoming local license plates.

As a tool for making money, taxis generally run continuously for 24 hours without stopping, and can reach hundreds of thousands of kilometers in almost a few years.

How can the condition of the car be improved in such a ruthless situation?

Worn out interiors and single-bombed cluster bombs,

When you start the car, the noise and symphony sound like a symphony.

Oil leaks, oil seepage, and loose suspension are more commonplace.

The failure rate is high, and there are many kinds of faults.

…

Unlike ordinary private cars, taxis have a lifespan of eight years, and transfer of ownership is prohibited at the seventh year.

After the off-line car limit is converted to a local license, the service life is still eight years, and it is mandatory to be scrapped eight years from the date of delivery, no annual review, no extension of the scrap period, and no preferential conditions.

As a result, most taxi companies dispose of the car in the sixth year, and sometimes when the car is in poor condition, even just after the warranty period, the business is transferred.

Therefore, off-line cars are characterized by their short age.

Generally three to five or six years old, vehicles of this age belong to the golden years of prime years among ordinary second-hand cars, while for off-line cars, they belong to the twilight years of sunset red, which can confuse Xiaobai who doesn’t understand anything. Family.

The mileage is horribly high.

Those with 200,000 kilometers are all quasi-new cars, those with 300,000 kilometers are in excellent condition, those with 40,000 to 500,000 kilometers are very common, and one or two cars can appear from time to time with 60,000 to 70,000 kilometers.

The wear and tear of the interior is almost impossible to look at.

What oil stains, UU reading www.uukanshu.com sweat stains, smoke stains all over the eyes,

The handle, the armrest box, and the steering wheel are covered with a thick layer of pulp.

Bloodstains or vomit can sometimes be found, and disgusted buyers can't see how far they can hide with their noses covered.

There are countless failures and faults,

After the fire is on, the tiles are first exploded, then the cylinder is pulled, and the fan leaves hit the water tank.

The front axle swings, the rear axle shakes, and the third and fourth gears can't be hooked up.

The crankshaft was broken, the cylinder exploded, and the transmission shaft was still clanging. First release https://https://

Water leaks at the front, oil leaks at the rear, and the brakes run off the rails.

The steel plate screw is connected to the shaft. Blue smoke coming from the exhaust pipe.

The rear wheel lock lever is broken, and there is still a sharp turn ahead.

In short, the failure rate is so high that the engine burns oil, the shock absorber leaks, the lighting system fails, and the electronic system fails.

No engine can't start, or a spontaneous combustion belongs to the buyer's good fortune.

However, the off-line car is a vehicle returned by a regular taxi company. It has legal procedures and is complete, and can be transferred normally. Insurance and annual inspection are not affected.

Readers, please note that it is the off-line car withdrawn by the regular taxi company that has legal and complete procedures and can transfer the ownership normally, and the insurance and annual review will not be affected.

The off-line car is in bad condition and the time of use is limited. Why do so many people buy it?

There's only one reason: cheap, and outrageously cheap.
