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. [br] "An independent technician" in the first sentence of the second paragraph means______.
选项
A、a technician who checks a car free of charge
B、a technician who learned his trade all by himself
C、a technician who works for a particular car-dealer
D、a technician who runs his own inspection service
答案
D
解析
词汇释义题。independent technician的意思是“独立的技师”,即不从属于哪一个车商或车行的技师,因而比较公正可信。A选项的意思是免费检查车的技师;B选项的意思是自学检查车的技师;C选项的意思是专门为某一车行服务的技师,都与原文不符。因此答案是D。
