Avoid losing money by buying the wrong restored car
Used cars priced under 100 million VND are often used for a long time and among them there are many cars that have been in serious accidents and have to be restored.
Restored cars often operate poorly, have minor errors, and are not even safe to drive... Because of this, these cars are often sold at very low prices, and if the buyer is inexperienced or greedy for cheapness, it will be like bringing a "debt" home.
The cheap used car market currently has many sources of supply including cars manufactured and operated for over 15 years (old models), discarded taxis (rehabilitated taxis), stolen cars and cars restored after accidents. This car segment is often aimed at people with low incomes or buying cars to practice driving,...
Not all cheap cars are of poor quality or unsafe, but if the buyer is unlucky enough to buy a car that has been in a serious accident or flooded, owning the car is like taking on debt, because these cars often operate unstably, break down frequently and need frequent repairs.

Restoring and beautifying an old car is now very easy with a few simple steps such as "cleaning" the interior, painting the exterior, replacing broken parts (usually floating goods, cheap) and recalibrating the engine,... With long-standing car restoration facilities, the renovation of a dilapidated car is often done very elaborately, and it is very difficult for the buyer to identify the "dark" past of the car.
So, to avoid buying a restored car, the buyer needs to carefully check the basic information of the car including registration, inspection, warranty and maintenance records and previous car purchase documents. In addition, it is indispensable to bring the car to a reputable warranty and maintenance center to conduct a thorough inspection of the entire car.
