You've decided on that all-important question about whether to purchase an used or new car. One of the best ways to make it to the road is to purchase used and avoid paying the high price of a new car. How can you ensure the used car is what it claims to be?
This checklist will help you make an informed choice when buying a used car from a private dealer.
Vehicle history
Ask the current owner for the most detailed information possible and then do your investigation. A paid service such as southern motors can provide information about the number of the vehicle identification (VIN) of the car. This will let you know whether the vehicle has been involved in an accident, and any liens. It also tells you if any recalls have been issued.
Paint damage or rust
Check at your car for scratches or rusty spots. small, scattered rust patches aren't necessarily a problem since they can be repaired relatively quickly. If there are areas that the metal has completely damaged, you may consider rethinking your purchase.

Frame issues
While you're walking around your vehicle, you should also look for issues in the frame. Do you think the vehicle is sitting on its feet? Do you see anything hanging from the undercarriage? Take note of the bumpers and look inside the hood and trunk for warping or new bolts that might indicate an accident.
Under the hood
The engine is the most important component of any vehicle. Switch off the engine and then open the hood to examine the engine for leaks of fluid, corrosion, and cracks in belts and hoses. It is recommended to inspect the dipsticks for transmission and oil to see if there is any discoloration. Oil should be light brown and transmission fluid shouldn't be too pink.
Tire condition
The tire tread should be evenly worn, and all four tires should be in alignment. Incorrect alignment may indicate steering, suspension, or frame problems. A poor alignment could cause the car to pull to one side or the other while driving.
Mileage
An average car will travel around 20,000 km each year. To figure out whether the car you're interested in has a high or low mileage, you can divide the mileage on the odometer by the vehicle's age. A used car with higher mileage will have more wear and wear on the mechanical components. Find out more about why high mileage matters when buying an old vehicle.
Interior electronics
Blasting the radio when your favourite song comes on is among the small delights of driving. You can press a few buttons to verify whether the stereo and other electronic components are working in a proper manner. Also, make sure you turn on the heat and air conditioning.
Upholstery
The vehicle may cause damage to the fabric as well as seats. It is essential to check the upholstery of all rear and front seats. Frayed leather or tears, as well as stains and stains could cause costly repairs.
Test drive
The test drive is the most important aspect to consider when purchasing a used vehicle. To check the car's handling, acceleration, brake and suspension, plan your route. Parallel parking is a good idea to look for blind spots.
Mechanical inspection
If you think you've found the used car of your dreams you need to take it to a trusted mechanic for an inspection. A mechanic can be able to determine the presence of any issues that could cause problems in the future. It's not free, but it could save you from buying a lemon. |
