A lot of people, before purchasing any valuable thing, with which they will later be sorry to part with or whose shelf life is long, prefer the goods that were in use. This also applies to motor vehicles. Although the prices for used motorcycles are quite reasonable, you need to be careful when choosing.
Instructions
Step 1
Start searching for a moped in the worldwide network, newspapers with private ads. Tell your friends about your plans to buy - word of mouth works well and maybe someone you know would like to sell you their moped or scooter.
Step 2
Contact a motorcycle club for help. As a rule, the staff and visitors of the club are happy to share their impressions of the technique and suggest to beginners the features of each model, moreover, they are well aware of who is selling what at the moment. If you still wish to purchase a new vehicle, then you will always be advised by those who are engaged in sales professionally.
Step 3
Pay attention to the price of the moped. A price that does not exceed $ 300-400 should alert the buyer - as a rule, such a cost is assigned when the moped needs to be quickly "thrown off", which means that either the equipment is faulty (or it does not have long to live), or it is hijacked …
Step 4
Inspect the moped for dents, paintings, traces of an accident, entrust the technical inspection to someone who understands technology. Particular attention should be paid to the engine, oil and fuel consumption, and the condition of the braking system.
Step 5
Ask to ride the moped for at least 500 meters. The fact is that the device of mopeds is such that at first it can simply "tear" from the spot, and after 400-600 meters it can start "sneezing". Listen to the sound of the engine for any extraneous noise. The sound should be uniform and tactful. Perhaps an increase in his strength.
Step 6
If you are satisfied with the technical characteristics, then draw up a sale and purchase agreement with the seller and put your moped on the traffic police register. It makes sense to check the moped on the traffic police base for theft even before you give the money to the seller. If the verification takes several days, leave a small deposit to the seller, taking a receipt from him of receipt of money. Do not forget to take out insurance, as well as take care of an alarm or anti-theft device.
