"when buying a car, the vehicle only ran 40 thousand kilometers, and later in the 4S store the maintenance records have become 80 thousand kilometers?" Ms. Wang, the citizen, bought a car with the odometer. The difference between actual mileage and real mileage is 40 thousand kilometers. In the
survey, insiders say that the meter adjustment has become a hidden rule. The relevant legal personages suggest that consumers can claim three times compensation to the responsible party on the premise of recognizing the main responsibility and identifying fraud.
after a car purchase half a year later, it was found that the odometer had been transferred to
in October 2016. Ms. Wang spent 300 thousand yuan on a second-hand car market on the ten road in Huaiyin District to buy a black Cadillac. At that time, the vehicle showed that it ran 40 thousand kilometers, but in July 30th this year, the 4S shop was querying during maintenance. By May 30, 2016, the number of kilometers of the vehicle had reached nearly 80 thousand. Later, she contacted her friend who was engaged in vehicle trading to help evaluate. The other said that according to the actual mileage, the second-hand car market may have overcharged the difference of sixty thousand or seventy thousand yuan.
"when I was buying a car, the other side did not tell me that the car had adjusted the meter." Subsequently, Ms. Wang contacted the person in charge of second-hand car market. Chief manager Zhong replied that they had not moved the car after receiving the car from the original owner, and never adjusted the meter. "We mainly test whether there are major accidents, whether there are blisters or fires." However, the two sides did not respond directly to the detection of kilometers.
this, Ms. Wang questioned, does the second-hand car market collect the car not to carry on the inspection of the vehicle odometer? In addition to buying a lot more, Ms. Wang may also bear higher maintenance costs in the later period.
Ms. Wang's encounter is not an example. Mr. Guo bought a Citroen car in a second-hand car trading market in Ji'nan in 2016. After checking the 4S shop records, we learned that the actual mileage of vehicles was 20 thousand kilometers more than that of the odometer.
how to adjust the table to the secondhand car industry
how to detect the odometer in the second-hand car recovery agency? In August 8th, the reporter experienced the recycling process of the second-hand car in the under used car line near Ji Sheng Road.
inspectors first check vehicle insurance, purchase invoices and other procedures, and then sit inside the car to see the data displayed on the dashboard. During the nearly 40 minutes of testing, he focused on the inspection of the appearance of the vehicle, including the use of instruments to detect the replacement of the door, the spray of the car meter, and the interior of the engine, and the interior of the vehicle. Reporters asked whether to check the odometer, the staff said, to see, but more concerned about the appearance of the vehicle.
a inspector told reporters: "there are too many cars on the table now. Even if you run 100 thousand kilometers, as long as the interior is new, you say ten thousand or twenty thousand is also believed.
in the process of communication, the reporter said he wanted to buy a Audi car. The staff showed two Audi cars for reporters, and one of the Audi Q5 records showed that the vehicle odometer data was 70 thousand kilometers, but the note column showed "mileage abnormality." The staff said vaguely that the mileage might have been adjusted, "the value is not consistent with the 4S store's record."
"most secondhand cars are ten thousand or twenty thousand kilometers away. You can't see them at all. Some cars can also pull off one of the wiring plugs of the odometer, so that you can not drive away. Liu GUI, who has been running auto repair works for many years, also told reporters that "ten cars in second-hand car market have eight odometer adjusted." Second hand car market is sometimes "one eye, one eye" for mileage. They pay more attention to whether there are accidents, the proportion of paint spray, whether it is a water truck or not.
it is difficult for non professionals to identify second-hand cars
how to identify second-hand cars. Liu Gui told reporters that if you want accurate data, you need to go to 4S shop for enquiries. But this method is not omnipotent. If the owner does not maintain in 4S shop, he will not be able to get effective data directly. He said, 4S shop maintenance costs are higher, Mercedes Benz BMW high-end car owners generally do not spare this maintenance, so high-end cars can usually find records. But 100 thousand yuan and below the low gear, after 2 years or 60 thousand kilometers, a lot of car owners will no longer go to the 4S store maintenance, the actual mileage of this kind of car is very difficult to inquire, the appraiser can only be identified through experience. For example, judging the wear and tear of the engine, chassis, steering wheel and interior trim.
is difficult to identify, but the adjustment is very simple. Liu Gui told reporters that many stores can adjust their watches in the auto repair market. There is a professional electronic device that connects the equipment to the vehicle. After simple operation, the meter can be adjusted. 100 thousand the price list of the following low-grade cars is fifty or sixty yuan. Mercedes Benz BMW's premium cars are priced at one hundred or two hundred yuan.
consumer or 3 fold compensation
how to meet a second-hand car adjustment dispute, how should we maintain rights? Yang Tonghe, a guest professor of the Shandong School of political law and director of the Shandong Tong River law firm, said that consumers should first recognize the responsible party. Who signed the contract with whom to go to the lawsuit. According to the forty-second article of the contract law, in the process of concluding the contract, the parties intentionally concealment the important facts related to the contract or provide the false situation to cause the loss to the other party, and shall bear the liability for damages. If the consumer is bought from the second-hand car market, the operator shall pay for it.
for the amount of compensation, Yang Tonghe said that, according to the fifty-fifth article of the law on the protection of the rights and interests of the consumer, the operator has provided a fraudulent act of providing goods or services, which should be increased in accordance with the requirements of the consumer. The increase in compensation amounts to an increase of three times the amount of goods purchased by consumers or the cost of receiving services. The amount of compensation is less than five hundred yuan, which is five hundred yuan.
does not match the mileage marked in a car purchase contract with the actual mileage, Yang Tonghe said, according to the second paragraph of the fifty-fourth article of the law on the protection of consumers' rights and interests, the party has the right to make the other party in the case of a breach of the true meaning by the means of fraud, coercion or the danger of multiplication. The people's court or arbitration institution shall be requested to alter or cancel it.
