Bus transportation is one of the promising types of business at the present time. But a new bus is quite expensive, so it is advisable to purchase a used vehicle in good condition.
Necessary
- - consultations of mechanics;
- - documents for the vehicle;
- - Test Drive.
Instructions
Step 1
If you decide to buy a used bus, then be prepared to conduct a thorough comprehensive check. A bus in good condition is seldom sold as it can bring good profit to its owner. But many unscrupulous owners resort to a variety of tricks to hide defects and sell it for more.
Step 2
To choose a used bus that does not require urgent large-scale repairs after a month of operation and will serve you for many years, agree with the seller for a detailed inspection at a service station. Before that, ask the owner what large parts were replaced, whether the bus was in an accident when the last major overhaul was made. If after checking it turns out that the seller kept silent about a serious breakdown or accident, then immediately refuse to buy.
Step 3
In addition to inspecting the car, it is necessary to study the vehicle passport and other documents. If on paper the current owner of the bus bought it two or three months ago, and to the question: "Why are you selling so quickly?" does not say anything concrete, then, most likely, in front of you is a reseller. It is unlikely that such a deal will be profitable for you, because dealers significantly inflate prices.
Step 4
If the two previous stages of verification were successful, then ask the seller to arrange a short test drive for you. In the process of driving, pay attention to whether the car skids when cornering, whether the braking system is well debugged, whether there are any extraneous knocks or noises.
Step 5
Then continue your test drive as a passenger. There are imperfections that are difficult to see when viewed from the parking lot. For example, if the windows are poorly made in the cabin, then this can be noticed precisely when driving, when the glass begins to rattle strongly. The smell of smoke and burning in the tail of the passenger compartment is also a "hidden" defect, indicating a technical problem.
Step 6
If during the test drive you did not find any serious malfunctions, then you can purchase this bus. But first consult with the mechanics how difficult it is to find spare parts for this model. After all, no matter how reliable the equipment is, sooner or later it may fail.
