Principles for buying used cars to avoid 'losing money and getting nothing'
With the advantage of saving costs, used cars are increasingly chosen by many people, however, if not careful, buyers can easily "lose both money and health".
Therefore, to avoid "losing both money and health", buyers need to pay attention to the following issues:
Do not buy defective cars
If you buy a car for family and work purposes, you should not buy a car that has been in an accident, has an engine failure, or is flooded... Even if it is much cheaper, you should avoid it because it will cost a lot of money during use.
Check vehicle history
Not paying attention to the vehicle's history will cause trouble later. Therefore, when buying, you need to find out if the license plate is consistent with the vehicle registration. In addition, you need to check the details inside and outside the vehicle, and whether the parts are still working or not to avoid buying a vehicle of unknown origin or disassembled.
Ensure uniform interior and exterior
After a period of use, cars inevitably wear out and deteriorate over time. However, when buying a used car, you still need to ensure that the interior and exterior are uniform. If there are unusual details, it proves that the car has been replaced.
Compare different cars
Many buyers are drawn to the "winged" introduction of the car without paying attention to the limitations. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid making a hasty decision, you should go see many different cars to compare the quality and price.
Don't be afraid to take a test drive.
Testing the driving experience is a must when buying a used car. You should test drive it on different terrains such as streets, bad roads, and highways to have the most accurate experience and evaluation.
Check the chassis carefully
The chassis is the most vulnerable part due to its close contact with the road surface and is susceptible to damage and rust.
Negotiate
Negotiating for a reasonable price is important when buying a used car. When negotiating, you should base the car's negative points such as damage, interior defects... as a basis for discounting.
Sellers often want to move quickly, so if you see a good price, show your willingness to put down money.
