When buying a used car, you have to pay attention to many things: body condition, engine operation, mileage, interior condition. But another problem is checking the car for the presence of a double. How are doubles made and how not to buy a double car?
We are not talking about Chinese counterparts, but about car copies that are outlawed. So, a double car is a clone that was illegally imported into the country under someone else's technical passport.
Having bought a double car, you may not know about it for several months, or even years, but if it is found, then it is almost impossible to prove that you have nothing to do with it. If the twin car is in our hands, only you will be to blame. How not to buy such a car?
1. The category of twin cars, as a rule, includes cars aged 3-5 years, which belong to the middle price category.
2. The cost of such a car will be approximately 40% lower than the market value of a similar car. Therefore, the low cost is a reason to think.
3. Before buying a car, you need to look carefully, check its condition, as well as the correspondence of the engine and body numbers with the data specified in the data sheet. If the doppelgänger is very cheap, then there may be inconsistencies.
4. In 90% of cases, the double is sold by agreement. Sellers do not want to make a sale by passport. If you want to know for sure that you are not the owner of a double, purchase a car by removing and registering only according to the technical passport.
5. If for some reason you do not have the opportunity to buy a car with a registration certificate, check the car in the traffic police database or order an examination of the car.
When buying a car, be very careful as the number of twin cars on the road is growing.
