1. 0:00Let's look at the second keyword: "The
2. 0:02Two Faces of Used Cars." Now, regarding
3. 0:05the used car market, which is often
4. 0:07described as unstable, what does "two
5. 0:09faces" mean? Depending on the car model
6. 0:12, there have been instances where sales
7. 0:14were high, while others saw a decline.
8. 0:18According to the Used Car Data Research
9. 0:20Institute, overall sales volume
10. 0:22decreased by 3.4%compared to a year ago
11. 0:24. This figure is based on Japanese
12. 0:27brands. However, electric and hybrid
13. 0:29vehicles actually saw an increase
14. 0:31compared to the same period last year,
15. 0:33whereas diesel and LPG vehicles
16. 0:35decreased, as you can see in the charts
17. 0:37. In short, you can view this as a
18. 0:40widening gap where some models are
19. 0:41selling well while others are not.
20. 0:44Yes, it clearly shows a distinct
21. 0:46difference. Now, regarding electric
22. 0:48vehicles. When it comes to used
23. 0:50electric cars, the battery is likely
24. 0:52the biggest concern. Just like with
25. 0:54smartphones or cordless vacuum cleaners
26. 0:56used at home, the battery is usually
27. 0:57the first issue after even a short
28. 0:59period of use. Is there a way for the
29. 1:01average consumer to check this? Yes,
30. 1:03you have asked a very important
31. 1:04question. The battery is indeed crucial
32. 1:06. So, what we absolutely must remember
33. 1:09is State of Health (SOH). It is
34. 1:13commonly referred to as the battery's
35. 1:15health status. You must pay close
36. 1:18attention to this specific figure. If
37. 1:21the SOH is typically measured at 70 to
38. 1:2480%, the industry generally judges it
39. 1:26by saying, "Ah, you shouldn't drive
40. 1:28this," or "Ah, its performance has run
41. 1:30its course."
42. 1:31How can you verify this? There are two
43. 1:34ways to check. First, when buying a
44. 1:38used electric vehicle, you must request
45. 1:40a battery diagnostic report. If they
46. 1:45refuse to provide it, you can directly
47. 1:47plug the diagnostic device into the OBD
48. 1:48port to check it yourself; you just
49. 1:50need to ask the company to do it for
50. 1:52you. However, if they refuse to do this
51. 1:54, you should be suspicious. If the SOH
52. 1:56is over 95%, it is considered new car
53. 1:58quality. 90 to 95%is considered good,
54. 2:02but if it is 80 to 85%...Then, when
55. 2:04buying a used car, you need to
56. 2:06negotiate the price down significantly.
57. 2:10Another important factor is the
58. 2:12warranty. You can check if the warranty
59. 2:14applies to the buyer using the Vehicle
60. 2:16Identification Number (VIN). You must
61. 2:19verify this as well.
62. 2:20Yes. You have shared some useful
63. 2:22information. Also, the rainy season
64. 2:24continues to be delayed, and many
65. 2:25experts are warning that if the rainy
66. 2:27season stays delayed like this, the
67. 2:29power of the floods could increase. So,
68. 2:32I imagine you are also very curious
69. 2:34about flood-damaged used cars. Is there
70. 2:36a way to filter them out? You have
71. 2:38asked many very important questions
72. 2:40today. Since this is a late rainy
73. 2:42season, flood-damaged cars always
74. 2:44appear in large numbers from July to
75. 2:46October. This isn't something I just
76. 2:48mentioned; they are already out there.
77. 2:50The Korea Insurance Development
78. 2:52Institute conducted a survey and found
79. 2:54that about 95.6%of flooding incidents
80. 2:56occur between July and October.
81. 2:57Therefore, if this rainy season hits
82. 2:59the market now, there is a very high
83. 3:01possibility that flood-damaged cars
84. 3:03will appear. Total loss flood vehicles
85. 3:05are scrapped. However, cars that were
86. 3:07only partially submerged can be traded
87. 3:09legally. Therefore, the next step is to
88. 3:12visit the Korea Insurance Development
89. 3:14Institute. They have a service called "
90. 3:15Car History." Are you already familiar
91. 3:17with it? You can go there and check for
92. 3:19flood-damaged cars for free. There is
93. 3:21also another option: the Ministry of
94. 3:22Land, Infrastructure and Transport's "
95. 3:24Automobile 365." You can also check for
96. 3:27flood-damaged cars for free there after
97. 3:29signing up as a member. You definitely
98. 3:31need to check this, but it only shows
99. 3:33cases where the issue was resolved
100. 3:35through insurance. So, how can you find
101. 3:37out? For vehicles not covered by
102. 3:40insurance, you should visit Automobile
103. 3:42365 and check additional details like
104. 3:43maintenance history and vehicle
105. 3:45registration to see if the car has been
106. 3:47traded frequently or if the owner has
107. 3:49changed often. I can tell you that you
108. 3:51can try to acquire it based on that.
109. 3:52Yes. Understood.
