It's not just private cars that are ravaged by rain. Guangqi Honda's Zengcheng factory, the base camp in Guangzhou, did not respond to the rainstorm in time, which led to some new cars that just rolled off the assembly line directly becoming "bubble cars".
According to the pictures on the Internet, there are about hundreds of vehicles in Guangben No.1 and No.2 factories immersed in yellow mud water, including Honda series such as Fit, Accord, Binzhi, Guandao and Hao Ying, and some Acura models.
For vehicles with serious water accumulation, the whole hub has been completely submerged in the water, and only half of the headlights are exposed, which makes people feel distressed.
Hiromoto: Don't worry about small things.
We have experience.
In fact, for Guangqi Honda, the flooding of new cars in the rainstorm factory is nothing new.
After this "accident", the official immediately replied to the media:
"No.22 was affected by heavy rain in Guangzhou, causing a small number of vehicles to be damaged. At present, statistics are being made, and subsequent vehicles will not enter the sales channel. If these vehicles meet the requirements after later maintenance, they will be used internally. This matter has little impact on the company, and the current production orders are also advancing normally. "
Guangzhou is located in the coastal area with a rainy climate. Guangqi Honda has three factories in Huangpu, Zengcheng and Guangzhou Development Zone here. These factories have been flooded in history, and Zengcheng factory is relatively more serious.
Will these soaking cars enter the market?
What ordinary people are most worried about is undoubtedly whether these new cars that have been moistened by heavy rain will flow into the market and hurt consumers.
In this regard, Guangqi Honda, which has rich experience in flooding, has long had countermeasures.
For new cars that are seriously damaged and have no repair value, Guangqi Honda will directly scrap them; New cars with slight damage and repair value will be disassembled again and put into production line, and all parts that need to be replaced will be replaced. After ensuring that the new car can meet the standard after thorough maintenance, it will be sold to employees as employee benefits by lottery, and the price is about 5 ~ 6 fold of the new car. And to sign a contract, not allowed to transfer within the prescribed time limit.
In addition, the most important thing is that the frame numbers of these vehicles can be publicly inquired through dealer channels.
There is no car you can't buy.
Only the price that can't be bought
For consumers who are sensitive to car conditions, they can relax after hearing this. However, do some sharp-minded friends smell huge business opportunities?
My friends often ask me if I can buy an accident car. Can I buy a soaking car? Under normal circumstances, our advice is definitely "don't touch"! Because you don't know the extent of the so-called accident and immersion, and you don't know whether the repair link after the accident or immersion is perfect. If the information is so unequal, don't touch the accident and the soaking car rashly.
But when we return to the market economy, there is always a truth-there are no commodities that can't be bought, only prices that can't be bought. Even if it is an accident or a soaking car, as long as the price is in place, some people will accept it, but most of us don't have such a poisonous vision and handling channels.
