Zotye 2021
Automatic
Gasoline
mileage: 127 KM
I've had the car for about two years and used it for around 40,000 km.
I travel with it near and far.
The body is factory original with one or two minor, unnoticeable dents.
Gearbox and engine are good, and I've maintained oil changes every 5,000 km.
Gear oil was changed at 120,000 km from Amsoil for a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission.
(I am unaware of the previous owners and their maintenance practices).
The car has a slight restriction and weak acceleration.
Most likely, it's the catalytic converters.
It has been used as is for city driving and travel since I got it.
The interior is clean, 7 seats (minor notes in the last pictures).
The air conditioning is excellent at night and on the highway, even during the day.
The problem is during traffic jams or when stopped, the compressor cuts out.
It needs a valve or an additional fan installed.
Regarding the body, according to inspection, there is no repainting. The front was covered with a protective film, but its color changed with the sun. A part of it was removed, and the rest is easy to remove. The film on the headlights might be dry. There are two or three spots of rust. They are as they are and haven't changed. They are shown in the pictures.
Original heat insulation is installed.
All the glass is factory original (the front has two small stone chips that are not visible and haven't increased in over a year).
Needs rear brake pads replacement (I ordered them from the dealer in Jeddah, they will be included with the sale, along with engine and cabin filters and an oil filter).
Its dealer is Shadwan in Jeddah and Riyadh. Parts are available.
Needs shock absorber replacement as they are weak. Or you can use them, and they will serve you for a while.
Needs engine and gearbox mounts, spark plugs, and a tune-up.
————-
Computer diagnostics show a turbo code. But it's likely due to the restriction from the catalytic converters affecting the sensor. The turbo pulls and whistles when accelerating.
It also shows a code for the thermostat stuck open. But I haven't faced any overheating issues. Last summer, it went one notch above normal when I pushed it in the city (normally half). This summer, it didn't increase because I only washed the radiator externally and added water. It stays at half.
I re-did the inspection two weeks ago from the first visit, and the registration has a few months left.
Urgent sale.
The car is in Jubail until Saturday (I just arrived with it).
Sunday and Monday in Riyadh.
And then Medina, God willing.
