2008 Honda Accord
Hello everyone! I’m Bump Man, the vehicle inspection technician. I am a maintenance technician with many years of experience. Now I am a used car inspector, in charge of car inspection. I am an idiot who specializes in eliminating car monsters with accident problems. Welcome to this interesting used car inspection.
Model (||) is the eighth generation Honda Accord and the third generation domestic Accord. At that time, it coincided with the establishment of Guangqi Honda factory for ten years. This Accord is also called "the strongest Accord in history" because it is equipped with three engines with Honda VTEC technology, each of which is very powerful. The entry-level 2.0-liter naturally aspirated version is very fuel efficient. The 2.4-liter version has the highest power matching; The 3.5-liter version has the most linear and natural power and full thrust. Until now, many people are still looking for the 3.5L eighth generation Accord.
Nowadays, fans also like this Accord very much. At that time, the car still had to be sold at a high price. In 2008, it could be 200,000 yuan, which was not a small sum at that time. Therefore, fans have been paying attention to the used car of Bayaccord and want to feel it for themselves, but he also knows that it is a car in 2008 after all, and it has been more than ten years since today.
With our help, this car fan has seen a lot of cars before, either in poor condition or low value, so he has always hoped to find an Accord with a single owner, so that the car condition is more reliable. During this time, he found today’s protagonist and posted it online by himself. The owner said there were too many cars at home, so he had no choice but to sell his old car. The fans decisively contacted the time and place and arranged for us to go to the scene to watch.
The Honda Accord that came to test drive this time, after more than ten years of baptism, the appearance of the whole vehicle has been covered with mottled traces. This is also because its own white paint surface can’t avoid the erosion of time, and it is covered with a lot of dust. The owner said that he hadn’t driven for a while and there were too many cars at home. Now this car rarely drives, so I consider selling it. In fact, after so many years of driving, there is no big problem. It’s not true that there is no place to put your car. And I know this skill clearly, just look at it!
Model: 2008 Accord 2.4L Automatic Standard Edition
Date of production: January 2008
Apparent mileage: 13W km
Guide price of new car: 229,800 yuan
Seller’s quotation: 68000
Generally, the more the seller or the former owner criticizes the car condition, the more our car inspector feels like a cat scratching, especially this emotional car, so the concave man really needs to carefully check whether the car condition is the same as the owner said.
Before it’s too late, we started the inspection today and checked the front bumper. After investigation, the front bumper of the car has obvious paint flying marks, and there is a big gap in the installation position. It should be replaced later, which is a bad start.
Check the front cover and find obvious sheet metal marks, so high and so forward. No wonder the front bumper was damaged and the front of the car crashed.
When measuring the left front fender, it was found that the paint value was obviously low, which was caused by the paint after the later replacement. On the premise of saving materials by replacing new fenders in the later stage, the paint is easy to sag if it is too thick. Once this happens, polishing is time-consuming, so painters try to spray as thin as possible. After all, manual work cannot be as accurate as mechanical nozzles.
Check the front windshield for obvious signs of replacement. It seems that the accident in front also caused damage to the windshield.
A part of the left A-pillar was inspected, and it was found that there were also traces of painting, and the scraping dust in this place was thick. Although it has not reached the level of sheet metal, it also shows that this position has a light shape.
The left front door is close to the fender, and there is also obvious sheet metal painting. No trace of sheet metal was found in other parts of the left side, but the left back door was painted, so I won’t list them one by one because of limited space.
There were also paintings on the back cover, but no traces of metal sheets were found.
There are also obvious paint marks on the rear bumper, and no abnormalities are found in other parts of the rear.
There are traces of metal sheets on the right rear fender, which should be caused by scratches, because no metal sheets were found in the tail inspection.
The starting point of sheet metal parts is the lower right beam, so it is caused by friction. The friction in this place depends on whether there is deformation inside the beam.
Fortunately, the interior has withstood the test without any signs of deformation.
When tested in other places on the right, there was no sheet metal phenomenon, but there were basically traces of painting, but the A-pillar part was still normal.
The screws on both sides of the fender were obviously removed.
And there are obvious metal traces on the right front fender. Generally speaking, there is still a lot of paint and sheet metal in the whole vehicle.
But after all, this is a classic car with hundreds of thousands of kilometers. I hope the upcoming test will bring us some good news. Even in such a big sun, Bump Man has no feeling at all. Let’s continue the test with great expectation.
Then we check the engine compartment of the vehicle. This engine is equipped with a 2.4L i-VTEC engine, with a maximum power of 132K.w, a maximum torque of 225N.m and a maximum horsepower of 180Ps. Matching it is the 5AT gearbox, which is a golden combination in terms of power and durability. Even after so many years, the engine compartment still looks clean and there is no leakage of wet oil.
There are many leaves on the crown of the tree, indicating that the vehicle has stopped for a long time, and it seems that it is really waiting for someone.
Check the screws of the machine cover, and find that there are obvious disassembly marks, and there are metal sheets on the front cover. Disassembly and adjustment can be considered as normal operation. Whether the specific collision is serious or not, we will continue to verify.
However, it is not easy to find the vehicle during the inspection. Initially, when inspecting the right front longitudinal beam, it was found that there were obvious weld repair marks on the longitudinal beam. It seems that the accident in front is not small, which leads to the repair of the front bumper, front fender and longitudinal beam.
Knock on the blackboard, the point is coming! Because many radiator frames of Japanese cars are welded on the car body, the longitudinal beams of this car are welded and repaired, and the radiator frame is inevitably repaired. The frame you can see here is also obviously deformed.
At the left front longitudinal beam, there are also obvious traces of post-repair. The whole longitudinal beam is very uneven.
And the side beam of the front fender also has obvious repair marks.
Looking at the frame of the right water tank from below, there are also obvious maintenance marks.
The water tank frame on the left side also has obvious maintenance marks, and the front anti-collision beam also has obvious disassembly marks, and the wiring harness buckle is not installed.
The outside temperature sensor has not been reinstalled. This is the result of the mechanic’s carelessness, and the front bumper spray water is also sprayed on the bellows of the internal wiring harness. These are more casual paintings, non-stop.
After the inspection here, it can be concluded that the accident of the vehicle is likely to be the replacement of the whole front face, including the deformation of the fender longitudinal beam and the deformation of the side beam, and the water tank and condenser are definitely not guaranteed.
Seeing that the repair marks of the longitudinal beam are so serious, the two front shock absorbers of the vehicle are still in the normal range. It seems that the vehicle didn’t hit here, but the repair of the longitudinal beam has been a proper major accident vehicle. The fans are having tea with the seller now, so I can’t go in and disturb them directly. I’ll tell him when it’s time to check the chassis.
Engine compartment inspection shows that the brake oil has deteriorated seriously and needs to be replaced in time.
There is also the deterioration of the engine oil, but the internal carbon deposit is still relatively small, so it is good to replace the engine oil.
When checking the oil, it was also found that there was a slight oil leakage in the valve cover. After so many years, it is estimated that the seal is also aging.
The battery also needs to be replaced because the car has been parked for a long time, which is inevitable. Other parts of the engine compartment are still normal, so I won’t list them here.
Then we checked the inside. The development and design of the eighth generation Accord is "advanced-strong", which means the perfect integration of "forward-looking technology and radical power". According to this concept, Honda Technology Reseah has gathered the latest technologies and developed a brand-new technology platform, which embodies the perfect interpretation of Honda’s global DNA in many aspects such as design, safety, dynamic performance, handling and environmental protection.
Look at the seat part first, there is no sign of disassembly of the seat.
There is no obvious corrosion on the lower part of the seat. I can tell you here that vehicles that have not been flooded normally, especially Japanese cars, have not seen any traces of corrosion for more than ten years, and many fans have reacted. Seeing a little corrosion on the car, the car always argues that it is caused by empty air and water.
This statement is very untenable. Concave man has seen many cars. Although each manufacturer is different, some other brands will have corrosion, but after watching so many Japanese cars, corrosion will basically not happen. So it’s best to have a bottom in your heart when you read it, and don’t be cheated.
Similarly, no obvious corrosion was found in the steering column.
The fuse box in the car is also relatively clean, and no rust and sediment are found.
The cigarette lighter part is also normal, basically excluding the existence of blisters in the vehicle.
However, the vehicle seat is seriously worn, but after all, it is more than 100,000 kilometers. After more than ten years, these are still within the normal range.
As I said before, there was an accident in front, so serious that the airbag must be replaced. Here, the airbag was found disassembled.
Another small problem is that the rear air outlet has been damaged and cannot be adjusted normally.
Then we started the vehicle and found that there was no fault light on the vehicle. The mileage shown on the vehicle meter is 135,266 kilometers. According to the wear and tear of the interior, it should be the actual mileage of the vehicle.
After starting, we tested the functions and found that all the functions of the vehicle can still be used normally. Sure enough, the durability of Japanese cars is still relatively high.
The fly in the ointment is that a desk lamp is broken, so it will be fine to change a light bulb in the future.
The cooling effect of empty space is still surplus. According to some car dealers, empty space can freeze watermelons. However, when the compressor works, the vehicle has obvious jitter. Later, it is necessary to check whether the throttle blockage leads to insufficient air intake or compressor failure leads to jitter.
Seeing this, the next step should be the road test, which is on the shelves. Fans also heard the sound of the car starting and came to ask me how the car was. I didn’t expect the seller to follow, so I told him about the car and the previous maintenance. He was also surprised to hear this. He said that the seller didn’t explain the situation at all, and he said that he would definitely not come.
The seller also said that there were many cars at home, otherwise they wouldn’t have sold them. Besides, I also saw the car being left here for so long. I thought it was really him. It seems that he doesn’t want to drive by himself because of the accident. In this case, I won’t look at the latter part. It seems that I have no fate with it. So you can leave first, I’ll go in and talk to him, and then I’ll think about it.
It’s time to sum up the vehicles today. The automatic standard version of Honda 2008 Accord 2.4L EX tested by the seller today quoted 68,000 yuan, which was significantly higher than the market price. At present, the transaction price of this car in the online market is around 53,000, but because it is Japanese, the quotations in many places are relatively high, specifically in the early 60,000 s. But today, the price of the vehicle is 68,000 yuan. Obviously, I’m sorry about this car condition. The accident in front was so serious that the seller thought he put it online.
Later, fans also said that they finally found a car and thought it would be more reliable than the car dealer. That man wanted to meet this kind of situation. Fortunately, he brought someone to test it today, otherwise he would really do it. Concave man also reminds everyone here that if you buy a popular style that has been popular for a long time this year and also has the attribute of "feelings", you should read it carefully, otherwise you will lose a lot in the future.
On the one hand, the vehicle is older and it is more difficult to sell it later. On the other hand, if the vehicle is in poor condition, the cost of going back for maintenance is also higher, and the cost of maintaining the vehicle is also higher. Just like today’s Accord, although the engine part seems to have little problem, even a 200,000-kilometer Japanese car will not have serious engine problems. The key point is that this vehicle accident is relatively large, and the safety of buying it later cannot be guaranteed.
Ok, that’s the end of today’s test sharing. I am a second-hand test technician in vehicle inspection. If you have a favorite car, but are not sure about its condition or other problems related to used cars, you can pay attention to us. Car inspector is willing to be your friend who knows cars best!
Like it, like it, and spray it if you don’t like it. I repair cars more, study less, and write badly, so please bear with it. If you are as optimistic about used cars as we are, or if you want to be an expert, don’t forget to collect and forward them!
New car 3.8 million, lost a (||) ten thousand kilometers. Buyer: What a bargain.
At that time, the new car was 2.6 million, and it lost 2 million after driving 30 thousand kilometers. Is it worth 600 thousand to buy this car?
It landed nearly a million years ago, and now it only costs 40 thousand. Can you afford this (||)?
Why did A3.3 million A 5L run for 2,000 kilometers and sell it?
