When buying even a new car, you need to carefully inspect the car and the documents for it. And there is no need to talk about used cars. After all, sellers - individuals and car dealerships - have one goal: to sell you this car at all costs. In order not to be deceived, carefully inspect the car and check all signed documents.
Instructions
Step 1
When buying a car in a car dealership (new or used), be careful. No matter how much you trust the dealer, the notorious "human factor" may work and you may not get exactly what you expected. A contract for the purchase of a car is preliminarily concluded with you. The equipment of the machine must be noted in the contract. Be sure to grab the official brochure stating what exactly is included in the package you choose. It is with this leaflet that you take the car from the sales manager for issuance. Otherwise, you run the risk of missing out on some little things, like a rug in the luggage compartment, which should be present in the vehicle you paid for.
Step 2
Before signing the car acceptance contract, inspect the body. Even new cars can have tinted parts, scratches, new glass and optics. If you find these defects after you have left the salon, it will be much more difficult to file a claim.
Step 3
If you have installed additional equipment, check the order-along with what was delivered to you. Let's say the alarm that you paid for. In large multi-brand car dealerships, where there is a large volume of sales, overlaps can occur.
Step 4
Check all unit numbers. This rule applies even to a new car. Even if you have to crawl under the car to see the engine number (for example, on Fiat). If the numbers on the used car are not readable or have visible damage, refuse to purchase. Otherwise, you may have problems with registering the car and you will have to do an examination.
Step 5
The rule of buying a used car is simple - you have to see and listen. Inspect the car body first. The painted surfaces will differ slightly from the factory ones by the presence of ripples, if the painting was done in an artisanal way. You can find out the real color of the paint by folding the skin. There you can also see the presence of additional welds, which indicate the replacement of parts.
Step 6
Inspect the engine while it is cold. Some extraneous noises on a warm car can no longer be heard. A clean, washed engine on a high-mileage car should alert you. So they can hide that oil is flowing.
