Buying Czech cars is a very profitable purchase. Skoda cars are the pride of the Czechs. It is no coincidence that the expression "domestic car" is not abusive in the Czech Republic. In addition to Skoda, in this country you can profitably buy cars of other brands, both new and used. Czechs take care of their cars, so an old foreign car, as a rule, is well-groomed and in good technical condition.

Instructions
Step 1
Buying a new car is much easier than buying a used one. All well-known automobile concerns of the world are present on the market. Unlike Russian conditions, in the Czech Republic there are always cars in warehouses and delivery does not stretch for many months. A long wait for delivery happens only when ordering an uncommon configuration, an automatic transmission or an extraordinary color.
Step 2
When buying, take into account the historical peculiarity of the Czechs - they do not like cars with automatic transmission. That is why a new model with a gun will have to wait, and it will be difficult to find a used one. The reason for this local peculiarity is the almost complete absence of traffic jams in large cities. In this regard, driving a car with a manual transmission is not particularly difficult.
Step 3
In addition, economical cars are very popular among Czechs. In other words, you will not find powerful, multi-liter, gluttonous cars on sale. This is due to high fuel prices. It is precisely because of the inefficiency that there are few sports cars, luxury cars, large SUVs and pickups on sale. More than half of the models offered on the new and used car market have a diesel engine. Hybrid vehicles are also increasingly appearing.
Step 4
When buying a used car, pay attention to the offers of car dealerships. As a rule, brand showrooms sell new cars, then they themselves are engaged in their technical and warranty service and accept these cars for commission sale. Therefore, a used car from the salon is one of the most hassle-free options for buying, although it is more expensive than on the market. All information, including the history of accidents, repairs and maintenance, will be provided to him. In addition, they undergo pre-sale training, and the salon provides a certain guarantee on them.
Step 5
When buying a car on the market, you are at greater risk. The matter is complicated by the fact that technical stations for car diagnostics are present only in large car markets. Therefore, when choosing a purchase, take with you a specialist who is well versed in machines and the criteria for their evaluation. The risk of running into a car, which will bring problems in further operation, is very high. And one more thing: in the Czech Republic there is no criminal penalty for twisting speedometers, so do not believe the odometer readings.
Step 6
Always insist on a test drive when buying both a new and a used car. This service is provided by all firms selling cars. To do this, you must provide the employee of the company with a driver's license with an international category B.
Step 7
Check your vehicle carefully to see if it has been caught in a flood. Due to frequent disasters of this kind, the percentage of drowned people among used cars is high. To identify a drowned man, warm up the engine to operating temperature, close windows, doors and hatches and turn on the heater at its highest power. Fogging windows and reduced visibility in the cabin are a sure sign of a drowned man. Also, before going to the market, take an interest in the reports of the latest floods and take them into account when buying. Keep in mind that cars from Germany often appear on the market, where floods are also frequent.
Step 8
Often the seller provides the checkout service. By agreeing to it, you get rid of the need to travel anywhere. To draw up documents for the purchase of a car, only a passport and a driver's license are required. It is possible to purchase a car on credit if you have a long-term visa in your passport. Paperwork in a car dealership usually takes about half an hour, together with the issuance of transit numbers. Immediately after payment, you can drive the purchased car wherever you want.
Step 9
Immediately, on the spot, purchase a car insurance policy. Without it, there may be problems with the police when traveling to the border, as well as problems when going through customs. Undoubtedly, when buying a car in the Czech Republic, you will need knowledge of the Czech language or an interpreter.
