The scariest part of buying a used car is not being completely sure of what condition it’s in. A car that’s been in a major accident is always a bigger risk, but sellers often try to hide this information. Andrew Bleakley, evaluator-inspector, runs a mobile vehicle inspection service in Montreal. For about $ 80 he will perform a full, unbiased inspection on a used vehicle. In his ten years as a professional inspector, Bleakley has seen a lot. He warns, "Watch out for dealers demonstrating vehicles which are used, not new. They may have been in a collision." He adds that it is not uncommon in Ontario and Quebec especially for unscrupulous sellers to toll back the odometer or to even disengage it. Bleakley has special tools to check for this.
Bleakley always recommends hiring an independent technician to inspect the condition of a used car before you buy it. The problem is that finding someone qualified to do the inspection includes checking the compression and drive line, fluids, brakes, suspension, and steering. Essential, too, is an inspection of the car’s body and finally a road test. There are, however, a few things everyone can do before buying a used car:
Do a visual check of the car. Look at the right rear door hinges. If they are very worn, or the door doesn’t close well, the car may have been used as a taxi. Holes in the roof could mean the car was used for deliveries.
Check for oil leaks on the pavement. Note that leaks are not necessarily a significant problem—it depends on the cause.
Don’t assume that new-looking brake and accelerator pedals mean the car hasn’t been driven much. Resellers know people check these details and can buy new pads for around $ 6.
Copy down the vehicle identification number, a 17-character combination of numbers and letters, from the vehicle’s dashboard. In Ontario, ask the dealer or seller for the Used Vehicle Information Package. This gives details of previous owners, any outstanding liens on the car, and the fair market value of the vehicle.
All of the following are mentioned as tricks which dishonest second-hand car dealers may play upon their customers EXCEPT______.
选项
A、to repaint the car
B、to roll back the odometer
C、to replace the old pedal
D、to disengage the odometer
答案
A
解析
推理判断题.本题问的是几个选项中哪一个不是二手车主蒙骗顾客的手法。B选项拨回里程表;C选项换掉旧的踏板;D选项使里程表与车辆彻底分离开来。这三项内容分别在第一段的最后和第五段中提到,但文章没有提到A选项,即把车重新喷漆。所以答案是A。
