Do you have it at lunch today? The testing task of Porsche Cayenne is around 3 pm in a city next door. I looked at my watch. I can't delay this minute. The customer is too impatient! Just then, the customer's phone came from behind him: Master, you should go. I will wait for you somewhere. Call me as soon as you arrive, the sooner the better! Hang up the phone of the right hand, and the pig's hoof of the left hand is not fragrant in an instant! Pack your equipment and set off at once.
It took a somersault of 108,000 miles to reach the appointed place. To tell the truth, it's a bit far (high-speed rail+bus+bus). According to past experience, the more remote the place, the harder it is to drive (knowledge points only represent personal views). However, after arriving at the place, I contacted the customer and went to the dealership. I found that this dealership is still a little big, not as low-end as I expected.
Look at today's protagonist, this is a 20 1 1 3.0 cayenne. The old Cayenne is still very popular in the used car market. Neither BMW X5 nor Audi Q7 can shake its stable position. After all, brands alone can beat BBA. The key is that the reputation of quality control is good, so that its preservation rate is far ahead.
Not much nonsense, since the customer is impatient, take the time to move the bricks and provide the basic information of the vehicle first.
Model year: 20 1 1? Cayenne? 3.0T
Factory date: 20 10- 12
Date of license issuance: 20 1 1-04.
Expressed mileage: 148359 km

The white body, some residual paint and scratches are still obvious, and there are some painting defects at the corners of the front bumper and the rear bumper. It is normal for nine cars that have been used for many years to be painted in these easy-to-bump positions.
Next, check the metal panel of the car body appearance to see if there is an accident or panel replacement caused by collision. After a lap, no other serious metal parts were found to be sunken and deformed except for a spray paint on the right front door.
The left front fender, left front door and left rear door are painted, and the four doors have not been disassembled and replaced. Generally speaking, the appearance of this car is ok, and there have been no accidents such as collision and rubbing.
Open the front cover, the engine room is really spotless, tidy up too clean, and the decorative board is waxed again! However, this treatment is not conducive to our detection, because the oil spill is not easy to observe, and the oil pollution has been cleaned.
At this time, I suddenly found that the cover screw was brushed later, and the paint fell off the corner. It is suspected that the screws were repainted after being screwed, so special attention should be paid to the disassembly and replacement of the front parts.
There are no traces of screwing or removing screws on both sides of the fender, and there are no traces of deformation and repair of the fender side beam. At this time, it is necessary to focus on checking the condenser and headlights around the front water tank.
It took a lot of effort to finally remove the front decorative board. Next, we see that the condenser and headlight of the water tank have been disassembled, but the original label of the headlight and the label of the water tank are clearly visible. The analysis shows that the disassembly was not caused by an accident, but was probably caused by the cleaning of the water tank by a long car with a large number of kilometers.
Looking at the engine block, this 3.0-displacement V6 supercharged engine has a maximum horsepower of 333 horsepower and a peak torque of 440 Nm. Abundant power ensures the sports genes of this car. It is found that the valve cover gasket has been disassembled and assembled, and the intake, exhaust and engine feet have not been moved, so the possibility of engine lifting and disassembly maintenance is ruled out. Removing the valve cover gasket is probably to deal with the problem of oil leakage. After all, the impact of mechanical pressurization is relatively large, the wear strength of the pad is large, and the service life is shorter than that of natural inhalation.
Speaking of which, GTwang reminds me of a joke. Someone asked: What's the difference between naturally aspirated, turbocharged and supercharged? Some experts give an example to answer this question: when you smack your lips, the temperature of natural inhalation is long and the stamina is sufficient; Turbocharging is fierce in front for a short time, feeling fast, and the stamina is a bit weak but also very cool; Mechanical supercharging is fierce and climaxes are repeated; Which do you prefer, old drivers? Ha ha!
When I got into the car, the interior was also neat. Elegant luxury cars are still full, with rich design language and natural and warm colors. Even a nine-year-old used car smells good!
This year's car mileage will certainly not be less, so I already know the huge wear and tear of the interior. The main driver's seat collapsed and wrinkled, and the two front seats disintegrated, but no obvious corrosion was found on the seat guide rail and the interior as a whole.
The apparent kilometers are 654.38+0.48 million kilometers, but the repackaging of the steering wheel and handlebar has to be doubted. The front air conditioning air outlet flaps are all missing, indicating that the vehicle is frequently used or has a large number of transfers, which needs to be understood through procedures.
On the same day, my OBD computer screen was broken, and there was nothing I could do. I borrowed one when I went to the garage to put the shelves. After reading the computer data, the engine system and the body system have reported various fault codes, some of which are real faults, and some are virtual faults caused by dead batteries, which need later maintenance. When I started the vehicle just now, the engine had obvious jitter. Combined with the problem of fault code, the engine of this car is really careful.
After testing the computer, I lifted the car with an elevator. Front double wishbone single suspension plus rear multi-link single suspension, multi-disc clutch full-time four-wheel drive, standard high-end car configuration.
In the process of lifting the car, the gap between the left front and right front pneumatic shock absorbers and the wheel cover is relatively large, and most of the pneumatic shock absorbers have been removed, and then it is suspected that the gearbox has been hoisted for maintenance. Is there one or not? Let's look down.
Let's check the tires first when the chassis frame stabilizes. All four wheels have been changed. The production year is 20 17. The tire wear is not big, and the hub has slight friction.
The first thing I saw when I got under the car was the hanging screws. As expected, the screws of the left front and right front suspension and the wing beam (that is, the subframe) have been removed, and the clarity of the traces has only recently been judged.
From the back, there is nothing wrong with the engine except slight oil leakage, but the connecting screw of the engine gearbox has been removed, and the oil pan of the gearbox has also been removed. Not only that, the gearbox housing and oil pan also have some oil leakage.
The foundation screw of the gearbox has been removed, and so has the screw of the transmission shaft. Every clue points in one direction, and the gearbox has been hoisted and repaired. After reading all the chassis, only the gearbox problem is the most serious.
After looking at the chassis for more than two hours, the inspection is over. Summarize the car condition: this car has no accidents and blisters, and its appearance has been repaired in many places; The overall wear and tear of the interior is large, which is suspected of watch adjustment; OBD fault codes exist in important parts such as engine system and air suspension system; Gear box hoisting and maintenance and oil leakage; The overall car condition is average.
Explain the car condition to the customer, and the customer expressed concern about the engine and gearbox. There are many kilometers, and no one can guarantee the later working conditions. And Porsche is still very painful to repair. Finally, the customer said to go back and think about it, and then see if there are other better car sources. He went on to say that the master worked for more than two hours without taking a breath for a minute, and he worked very carefully. When he found the car, he asked me to test it.
After thanking the customers for their praise, we parted and went home. I understand the customer's decision very well. At that time, this new Cayenne car will not be less than 165438+ 10,000. At present, the used car market is in the range of 300,000-400,000, and it has depreciated by 700,000-800,000 in 9 years. The car is in average condition today, and there is nothing to be picky about the offer of 320 thousand. Whether to buy or not depends on the customer's acceptance.
Buying a million Porsche for 300,000-300,000 can still give you enough rows and a superior sense of identity. It seems very cost-effective, but in fact, the later maintenance and maintenance cost of a car is not a small sum. And if the car is in poor condition, it will not only annoy you to repair it every day, but also cost you a lot of money. In this way, you can't enjoy the superiority brought by millions of luxury cars at all, but let you experience the bitter taste that you can afford and can't afford. Therefore, for a friend who wants to buy a second-hand luxury car, it is necessary to find a friend who knows the car to help you look at the car condition. After knowing the most real car condition, do it again to ensure your driving safety and vehicle property.
Ok, that's the end of today's test sharing. I am a used car inspection technician who was born as a car inspector. Like it, like it, and spray it if you don't like it. I repair cars more, study less and write poorly. Please forgive me. Car inspector, I would like to be your best friend who knows cars!
