Shenyang sells scrapped cars into the industrial chain

According to statistics, there were more than 20,000 vehicles in Shenyang that had reached the end of life in 2011, and less than 7,000 vehicles were scrapped. Where did the rest of the scrapped cars go? Recently, a reader from Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, told reporters that he had bought a used Jetta at the used car market in Tawan Bay, Shenyang, and discovered that it was a taxi that had been scrapped for five years. How can the used car market buy scrap cars? Reporter conducted a survey.

Scrap cars turned into used cars

Appearance is very good, mileage is only 50,000 kilometers, can be on the road after the car shakes badly, engine noise, a search has been scrapped 5 years Mr. Wang work outside all year round, watching many relatives and friends have a car to open, they also want to buy a car . After a friend's introduction, he came to Shenyang Taiwan used car market, spent 25,000 yuan from the hands of mobile dealers bought a used Jetta.

“When I first arrived, I was surrounded by several car dealers and said that the Jetta was cheap. At first glance, the appearance was very good and the price was acceptable. The odometer showed that it had run more than 50,000 kilometers. It was not hesitant to He paid the money.” What Mr. Wang unpredicted was that, on the way to the home, the car started to shake violently and the engine noise was very loud. The repair shop was found. The inquiry of the computer system showed that it was a rental of 1999 production. car.

According to the standard of automobile scrap in Shenyang, the number of taxis (small and micro) is 8 years. “Accordingly, this car can only be opened in 2007 and it has been scrapped for 5 years! The car repairman said that this car was overhauled after painting and the mileage of the odometer was also corrected.” Angry Wang returned to the place where he bought the car. To find a few car dealers "finding", can be found for a few hours did not find that several car dealers.

In fact, it is not wise for Mr. Wang to be tricked. The reporter learned from the staff of a garage that it is actually very simple to adjust the odometer of the car. Just remove the steering wheel and instrument panel and change the number of kilometers. “It will be done within two hours.”

Visit the used car market

The owner claimed that the vehicle had not been inspected for several years and it was best not to open it locally. He also said that this type of vehicle is sold well in accordance with the “Second-hand Vehicle Circulation Management Method.” The used-car seller should provide the buyer with the use of the vehicle, repairs, accidents, inspections, and whether or not to apply for mortgage registration, tax payment, retirement period, etc. Situation and information.

So, how does a car that exceeds the retirement age flow into consumers? On December 15, the reporter went to the Taiwan second-hand car market in Shenyang for an interview.

Located in Tawangwan, Huanggu District, Shenyang, Kunshan West Road is the largest used car distribution center in Northeast China. When the reporter arrived by car, he saw two kilometres of highways, many hotels, restaurants, shops, and garages stood with billboards over two meters high, which read the words "high-priced recycling vehicles."

The reporter stopped almost every three to five meters and was stopped by a young man holding a sign. "Boss, do you sell cars? High-priced recycling." The original 67-meter-wide street was occupied by 2/3 of the vehicles parked on the roadside. There are many used cars that carry licenses for Inner Mongolia, Hebei, and other places, and some vehicles have no licenses.

The reporter stopped the car and entered the store with a car dealer who called himself Xiaokai. "Is quality guaranteed?" the reporter asked. "As long as the high price, the quality of your peace of mind, but the source of the car ..." He stopped and mysteriously smiled.

The reporter pointed to a Santana 2000 and said, "What year did this vehicle sell?" The owner enthusiastically said: "This is a car in 1998. It will not sell for 20,000 yuan." "What about procedures?" the reporter asked. The owner replied, "This car hasn't been inspected for several years. You'd better not open it in the local area."

When the reporter stated that the car was expensive, the boss was disdainful: "Most of these cars are sold in Hebei, Jilin, and Inner Mongolia. They sell well and the price can be more than 20,000."

Recycling interest chain

Manufactured false car licenses, false licenses, and dismantling of parts and components. One car dismantling parts can sell more than 10,000 yuan. Many people rely on scrapped cars for recycling. According to the "Administrative Measures for the Retirement of Scrapped Vehicles," the State prohibits the scrapping of automobiles. The car enters a market transaction or trades in any other way. If they engage in unauthorized recycling of automobiles, the administrative department for industry and commerce shall confiscate the scrapped vehicles that were illegally recovered and confiscate their illegal income.

However, the reporter’s investigation found that Tabu’s scrap car recycling business is booming.

Car dealer Xiao Kai told reporters that he has been here for more than four years. The car dealers here are slightly better at the shops, but some people are also rushing cars without a fixed store, and more are hackers on the side of the road. After the transaction, the agency fee is collected from the owner. "There are special procedures for collecting vehicles, repairing vehicles, and selling vehicles, and specializing in the production of false driving licenses and false licenses. It is definitely a one-stop service."

The reporter saw a car dealer as a car dealer and said that a scrapped car had to be disposed of, but there were no invoices and driving permits. The other party replied readily: "The lack of procedures for the car is all right, but the price is cheaper."

He told reporters that many people who make use of scrapped cars have made homes. Many businesses will dismantle the car after retrieving the vehicle. The more valuable ones are the engine, frame, etc. There are also some luxury cars that are very valuable. "Sometimes, a scrapped car can sell more than 10,000 yuan by dismantling parts."

According to the relevant regulations, China strictly prohibits the use of end-of-life auto parts to assemble vehicles, and scraps the important components such as engines, steering engines, transmissions, front and rear axles, and frames of scrapped cars, and should sell them to steel companies as smelting raw materials. Other spare parts that can be used, if sold, should be marked "recycled car scraps."

Supervision loopholes

Experts pointed out that the safety of scrapped cars has been greatly reduced. Must strengthen the supervision link, strengthen the technical means to identify the scrapped cars on the road Some experts pointed out that the scrapped cars on the road, great harm, not only greatly reduced vehicle safety, but also increase environmental pollution. Therefore, the state applies special industry management to the end-of-life vehicle recycling industry. Automobiles that meet the scrapping standards should be dismantled by qualified recycling companies. Any unit or individual that has a scrapped automobile shall promptly handle the procedures for scrapping the motor vehicle at the public security organ.

However, due to the current low subsidy standards for scrapped cars, many private car owners are not enthusiastic about actively scrapping cars. Master Chen, who lives in the Heping district of Shenyang, said that he had sent the Santana car, which had been in operation for nearly 13 years, to a designated scrap company and only received a residual value of less than 1,000 yuan. "If you sell, you can sell seven or eight thousand."

Jia Xingguang, executive director of the China Automobile Dealers Association, said: “At present, there are various subsidy standards, and frankly, some subsidies are not as good as the sales of scrap iron.” This is the reason for the large number of scrap cars flowing into the used car market. one.

In addition, the lack of supervision of second-hand car sales also provides opportunities for scrap car recycling. The normative management of the used car market is mainly attributed to the industry and commerce departments. However, if illegal refitting, deck building, or picking up of vehicles is involved, the coordination of various departments such as transportation, public security, and quality inspection is often required.

Some experts pointed out that according to regulations, scrapped vehicles cannot pass the annual inspection of the vehicle department, nor can they be licensed. The "Road Traffic Safety Law" and the implementation regulations clearly stipulate that if a motorized vehicle that has reached the scrapping standard is to be driven on the road, the traffic control department of the public security organ shall collect it, force it to be scrapped, punish the driver, and revoke the motor vehicle driver's license.

"The fact is that the lagging supervision technology has also turned the punishment into a dead letter. When the police encounter suspicious vehicles on duty, they also need to pass the license plate number to the headquarters to see if they are scrapped vehicles. If the scrapped vehicles are automatically identified through modern technology, they can Reduce regulatory costs," Jia Xinguang said.

It is understood that relevant departments of Shenyang City have formulated plans to carry out special rectifications from December to the end of February 2013 to crack down on illegal recycling, dismantling and reselling of scrapped vehicles, assembly of vehicles, and other illegal activities.
