Instructions
Step 1
Decide on the amount of money that you are willing to pay for the car. Please note that costs are usually 20-25 percent higher than planned. The difference will go towards registering the car, paying off the costs of renewal, technical inspection, insurance, etc. Do not forget about possible repairs, which in most cases need to be carried out on used cars.
Step 2
After assessing your financial capabilities, apply for the selection of a car to print publications and specialized Internet sites with advertisements for the sale of used cars. Do not rush to the first suitable offer, pick up several options.
Step 3
Before you go straight to watch the car, clarify all the points of interest by phone. Be sure to ask how the technical passport of the car looks like, and whether there are inserts in it. The presence of the latter indicates that the car had problems with the identification of the VIN number, and difficulties may arise with subsequent registration and registration.
Step 4
Find out exactly how the car will be reissued. Often, owners sell cars "by proxy". The deal, of course, will take place, but the seller will still remain the legal owner of the vehicle. If you want to sell it, you will have to chase after the owner. If he turns out to be not conscientious and “forgetting” about the money paid to him, he may eventually demand to return the car back.
Step 5
If you have opted for an American-made car, ask the seller to voice the VIN, write it down. Get information on this number from an authorized dealer or on the Internet. If the data on the produced and sold car differ, refrain from purchasing it.
Step 6
Ask if the car has been involved in an accident, whether the body needs repair, whether it has been repainted, how well the thresholds are preserved and whether there are rust spots on it. These signs indicate damage sustained in an accident.
