It is often a smarter choice to go for used
cars instead of new ones when purchasing cars. And also financial advisors
advise on it. But it is very important to evaluate the car you are buying
before making the deal legal.
But before going for the purchase one
should always check the car of purchase. It is important to research on the
car, evaluate its condition, get well informed about the warranties and
insurances of the car and then seal the deal.
It is very important to thoroughly inspect
a car before you buy it. Used
cars have been to places and since it is not possible for one to look
through all the places where the car has been to, it is thus imperative for the
new buyer to examine the car minutely, both its interiors and exteriors before
going through the process of purchasing it.
The car inspection service is almost
inevitably required since in more than 90% of the cases purchase of used cars
take place between two unknown people and so reliability factor comes to 0 for
the purchase.
In that inspection one should very well
check the car’s form. For that one should –
1.
Make sure that the sell
your car is on level ground before checking it out.
2.
Carefully check the paint job
of the car, taking note of any rust spots, dents or scratches.
3.
Check the trunk of the car to
make sure it is still in good condition.
4.
Check the tires.
5.
Never buy a frame damaged car.
6.
Try to get under the car when
it is safely raised and inspect the exhaust system or any under-body rust.
Next one should search and inspect
different parts of the car such as :
1.
Check under the hood of the car
for any indication of dents, damage or rust.
2.
Check the hoses and belts. They
should not have cracks.
3.
Inspect the engine for any sort
of leaks, or corrosion. This is usually indicated by brown oil stains on the
engine.
4.
Remove the oil filler cap.
5.
Pull the transmission dipstick;
the fluid should be pink or red.
6.
Check the timing belt.
Now the insides of the car must be checked
properly :
1.
Go inside the car. Check the
seats and upholstery of the car for any tears, rips, stains, or other type of
damage. This is because used cars often come with extra surprised like used
sandwiches, dead animals or even illegal possessions. So that is not a very
pleasant experience in entirety.
2.
Check to make sure the
air-conditioning of the car is working well by turning it on.
3.
Check the odometer of the car
for the mileage.
4.
Find out if the car has a
computer on board. Bring with you an inexpensive computer to check for errors.
5.
Verify the lights and all the
regular functions of the car when not moving. This includes: any sensors for
parking, back parking camera, radio, CD, music installation, etc.
