舊道路試驗車會發生什麼問題？

[Auto News]

一旦道路測試車離開製造商的衝壓車隊，接下來會發生什麼？我總是想知道購買並實際擁有一輛我們在路試期間在其壽命一英寸內摔倒的汽車會是什麼樣子。例如，如果您通過經銷商網路真誠地購買汽車，然後點擊YouTube並觀看它基本上橫盤整理五分鐘的視頻，會發生什麼？
你會驚恐地後退，然後伸手拿起手機並要求退還你的錢嗎？還是你坐下來思考;哇，那是我的車，然後對擁有一個稍微有名的前媒體示威者感到一種奇怪的幸福感？
雖然我不是100%確定我是否喜歡把錢花在一輛在各種雜誌上翻閱的汽車上，但事實是，這些特定的汽車比大多數汽車更有可能得到照顧。他們接受檢查，併為每次道路測試之間的下一次衝擊做好準備，當他們作為新聞車的時間結束時（通常在10k英里內），他們通常會像其他汽車一樣為他們的第一個真正客戶重建和準備。
雖然期間他們簡短但詳盡無遺的生命，作為新聞的示威者，他們努力工作，但這些並不一定車離開回避二手。所以這就是為什麼很高興得到一封電子郵件從科尼驕傲什最近只是碰巧買了寶馬 1 M 去年我在其中做合一萬一千英里。
他今年66歲，仍然享受著駕駛、正確彎道和進步的喧囂。 儘管觀看了許多YH11 GOX橫身穿過各個角落，各種道路和各種不同測試軌道的視頻，但他似乎對他的新車感到滿意。但考慮到他還擁有 911、幾輛 Capris、一輛蓮花 Esprit、一輛蓮花陽光、三輛奧迪 quattros、一輛 E36 M3 和許多名稱相當可怕的摩托車，這並不奇怪。
請保持聯繫，看看GOX的生活進展如何，但與此同時，是否有其他人故意購買了前媒體演示器？如果是這樣，情況如何？

Once a road test car leaves the press fleet of a manufacturer, what happens next?Ive always wondered what it might be like to buy and actually own one of the cars that weve thrashed to within an inch of its life during a road test. What happens, for instance, if you buy a car via the dealer network in good faith, then click on YouTube and see a video of it basically going sideways for five minutes?
Do you recoil in horror then reach for the phone and demand your money back? Or do you sit back and think; wow, thats my car, then feel a strange sense of wellbeing about owning a mildly famous ex-press demonstrator?
Although Im not 100 per cent sure Id like to spend my money on a car thats done the rounds of the various magazines, the truth is that these particular cars are more likely to have been looked after than most. They are inspected and prepared for the next thrashing between each and every road test, and when their time as a press car is over (usually within 10k miles) they are often rebuilt and readied for their first genuine customer like no other cars would ever be.
So although they work hard during their brief but exhaustive lives as press demonstrators, these are not necessarily cars to shy away away from secondhand. Which is why it was nice to get an email from a proud Cornishman recently who just so happens to have bought the BMW 1M in which I did 11,000 miles last year.
Hes 66 years young and still enjoys the buzz of driving well, getting the corners right and making progress. And despite watching numerous videos of YH11 GOX going sideways through various corners, on various roads, and on all sorts of different test tracks, he seems to be delighted with his new car. But then thats not surprising considering hes also owned 911s, several Capris, a Lotus Esprit, a Lotus Sunbeam, three Audi quattros, an E36 M3 and numerous rather terrifyingly named motorbikes.
Well keep in touch to see how life progresses with GOX, but in the meantime, has anyone else ever knowingly bought an ex-press demonstrator? And if so, how did it go?
