It costs $100,000 to fix a car. It costs more than a car. Is it worth it
X, x, x
The 2012 audi a6 2. 7t diesel version, showing a surface of 110,000 km, was unrepaired, but it was “unusual” when it opened: air conditioning was bad and bad, oil was leaking under the steering wheel, a slow-down belt was ringing, brakes were soft, large lights were sprayed with fog. It's not that i can't move. It's that way。
Friends say they sell new cars and get $40,000. But i looked at the maintenance sheet in my hand - the condenser's eye, the slits of the booster's pipeline, the collapse of the arm gel, the brakes, and even the little wind leaf in column b. It's a lot of problems, but it's not the engine that blew up, the gearbox that went out. They're like a bunch of little things, and they pull one together, and they pull the car down。
Turn it over and check it out. It's using ea331 2. 7t diesel v6, not the old online version of ea888. It does not burn oil, changes belts for 10 years, and at a low turn it has 380 cattle rice and runs 6 litres of oil at high speed. The teacher at the factory said, "this machine can run 200,000 kilometres without water and cooling fluid." it's not a blow, it's an old car that's been running for 500,000 miles。
So it didn't end up being sold. It's not a few parts to deal with, but from the bottom up, one by one. The condensers changed the plant, not the by-products; the aided pipelines were not changed only once, but the whole thing was replaced; and the cooling fluids were empty and added with a vacuum machine, with no bubble. The pile of rubber on the chassis, the head, arms, the dust shield, it's all removed and replaced. Four rounds of positioning are hunter machines, not master's hands。
The brakes are moving. The original plate was replaced with a dixcel, not for good-looking reasons, but for the fact that the car was often run by mountains, crowded, downhills, the diesel engine was sprouted, and the original plate was soft as soon as it was hot. Three long downhills, no heat decay, steady feet。
No paint, no membranes. It's two hours of ozone fungus. The little wind leaf in column b, the handler's hook, the acoustic lid, looked small, but the damage was sore, it couldn't hold, it was all a distraction while driving. There's not one left。
The paint wasn't sprayed, the whole car was polished. Let's see if there's any rust -- the bottom is clean, just oxidizing. The lights were retrofitted, the led light was added, and the road was much clearer at night than it used to be in the fur glass。
The engine was not removed, but internal cleaning was done, and the oil was replaced with diesel oil, taking care of cleanliness and resistance. Not all oils are suitable for the combustion system, and the manual also asks the oil technicians。
After the last road test, on the day the car returned to the shop, the owner sat in the car and did not speak. He stepped on the gas first, untied and stepped again. Then he touched the steering wheel and pressed the middle buttons. He said, "it feels very close to the new car."
I heard you. Because behind the word “close” are the replacement of dozens of parts, the re-engineering of dozens of processes, and the unbroken testing calibration of three days. It's not by luck, it's by replacing every word with the word “must”. The chassis did not ring, because the ducts had recovered; the steering wheel had sank because the pressure of the shift system had been sealed; and the air conditioner was fast cold because the cooler had not been missed by the trachoma。
After this car is ready, it's too fast, too expensive. It was also a6 in 2012, with unchanged axle ranges, unaltered loads and even old versions of navigation maps. But it's no longer scary, and it doesn't always have to remember, "what to change next week." it is simply a quiet return to what it is — steady, correct, non-challenging, non-learning and non-challenging。
Later, it was reported that jiangxi was the owner of the car, whose father had been unable to change it for seven or eight years, and had not given it to him until he retired. He was in the engine room for 10 minutes before repairing the car, pointing in the airway and saying, "here it is, for six months." he didn't leave in a hurry to finish repairing it. He was in the parking lot three times。
The package cost 98,000. It costs 340,000 less than the purchase of a second-hand a6 plus tax plus insurance plus depreciation. The numbers are dead, but the breath is still loose when driving, only you know it。
The car was parked at the door, the rain scratcher automatically returned to its position, the lights were on, and the reverse image was clear. I don't think it's gonna run for a few more years, but i think it's right。
