Instructions
Step 1
First, determine the upper bound for your cash, that is, how much you are willing to spend on a purchase. At the same time, do not forget to calculate the amounts that will be required for car registration, insurance, installation of an alarm, purchase of wheels, etc. This will help you to discard dead-end choices.
Step 2
Find your way around the brands of cars. Read about them on the Internet, specialized magazines, talk with friends and acquaintances. Select a range of manufacturers and models that suit you in terms of technical parameters. For example, low-cost and high-quality cars are produced by concerns: Renaut, Škoda Auto, Hyundai, Kia, Chevrolet, Nissan and others.
Step 3
Study the offers for the selected models of cars of a particular company. Walk around car dealerships, car markets, look at advertisements for sale on the Internet, etc. Check the price of used and new vehicles in the basic configuration. Keep in mind that each of these cases has its pros and cons. For example, for a small amount you can buy a new car, but with low engine power, no air conditioning, audio system, etc. Whereas for the same money it is quite possible to buy a used vehicle, but of a higher class and with a wide range of additional options. Therefore, weigh the pros and cons and choose the option that suits you.
Step 4
Having stopped your choice on a used car, find out in advance how much it will cost to repair, replace, paint a particular part. Use this during bargaining, after inspecting the car, having found, for example, minor defects that do not affect driving performance (cracked bumper or windshield, torn seat upholstery, etc.). If you can prove to the owner that the car requires additional investments, you can reduce the initial cost.
Step 5
Another important point when choosing a quality used car. Be sure to look at the number of owners listed in the TCP. Pay attention to the frequency with which they changed. Remember, a car is not trustworthy if it has been owned by several people in a short period of time.
