When buying a used car, a motorist is very interested in its history. But since sellers are not always crystal-clear to their clients, the history of the car can be somewhat embellished. But you don't have to listen to the salesperson to find out the real picture of the car. There are a number of factors by which you can easily determine what is hidden.
Instructions
Step 1
Of course, first of all, study the VIN number of your car. It is he who is able to tell you a lot about your purchase. In addition, if you know the identification code of the car, then you can easily recognize his entire "biography". Of course, in this case, the Internet will come to the rescue. It so happens that the former owner on certain auto repair forums could have already dropped your number so that he could be helped to find the necessary parts. This will tell you if the car has been repaired. In addition, there are a number of sites, for example, vin.auto.ru, where you can find out the most complete information about your car. To do this, you just need to enter the code number in the fields provided. The system itself will give you all the data on how the car was operated abroad (this applies only to foreign cars).
Step 2
You can find out from specialists about accidents in which your car could have been. It is enough just to bring the car to a specialized technical inspection service. Here you will be told whether the body parts have changed, whether there have been major repairs to the chassis or engine, how many original parts are there. Based on such a study, you can understand whether the car was damaged and how serious it was.
Step 3
Also, traffic police and insurance companies will come to help you. They should have all the information in their databases specifically on your car - have you ever applied for insurance payments, have the crew of traffic police inspectors been summoned to the scene of an accident with the participation of this car, whether the car was stolen and much other information.
Step 4
Take a look at the engine compartment. If there is a point here, which was inflicted with a core, it means that the car has happened in the past in trouble. It is not at all necessary that he got into an accident. Perhaps he belongs to the category of drowned people. The same dot is used to mark a car even if it was stolen.
Step 5
And of course, if the seller had a service book, then you can get some of the information from there. True, this is really only on condition that the former owner carried out all inspections and repairs in a specialized branded technical service.
