AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)09/21 Report--

Mr. Kui's car is a Ford Fiesta hatchback, which is no different from other models in appearance. However, Mr. Kui said that the car is a "test car". There is neither maintenance record nor extended warranty in the 4S store. what's going on?

According to Mr. Yan, he bought the car in July this year at the Nanjing Dagong second-hand car Market. The price of the car was 50,000 yuan. When he bought the car, the salesperson said there had been no accident.

Then, Mr. Xu drove the car back to Xuzhou, and on the way back to Xuzhou, the gearbox of the car gave an alarm. Mr. Li drove the car to a Ford 4S store in Xuzhou for repairs, but the 4S store said that the car was not covered by extended coverage.

Mr. Yu asked why the car was not covered by the extension, but the staff at the 4S store said it was not clear.

After communicating with the manufacturer for many times, on September 12 this year, Mr. Yu learned that the car he bought was a "test car"!

The media called Ford and learned after inquiry that the car bought by Mr. Gao was indeed a test car with no three packages and no warranty. The customer service official said there was no exact explanation for what the car was used for.

So what kind of car is the test car? Through consultation, it is learned that before each new car goes on the market, it will undergo hundreds of experiments to judge the technical characteristics, reliability, durability and environmental adaptability of the car. After the test is completed, the test car will be recycled, dismantled or scrapped by the manufacturer. However, there are also a very small number of test cars that still meet the factory quality standards after the test, so they may be put on the market. However, if the test car is sold through a 4S store, the 4S store should clearly inform consumers of the details of the car.

But Mr. Wang's car can not find maintenance records in the 4S store, may be purchased directly from the manufacturer or other channels to set up a license, and then its maintenance is no longer in the 4S store, and eventually the car flows into the second-hand car market.

The reporter accompanied Mr. Li to the Nanjing Dagong second-hand car market where he bought the car. The dealer said that the Ford Fiesta was purchased, and he did not know that the car was a test car, nor did he know what it was.

The lawyer said that although the used car seller did not know that the car was a test car, the car did have quality problems or faults, so the seller should be held responsible for breach of contract.

In this regard, the seller negotiated with Mr. Kui and expressed his willingness to give him a certain amount of financial compensation, but the two sides did not reach a settlement.

What should be done with the test car after the test? What kind of test car can enter the market? What should not enter the market? At present, there are no strict and clear standards in the industry, but there are many test cars in the market, which lead to sales disputes. As for how the test car bought by Mr. Kui entered the market, and how the matter of Mr. Li should be resolved, it also needs further investigation and coordination.
