How to Choose a Used Car?

[DelZoey]

Visually inspect whether the body paint color is consistent and whether the surface curvature on both sides is smooth. If there are discrepancies, the vehicle has undoubtedly been repaired, and the repair quality is poor. Check if the seats and interior linings are clean and tidy, and whether they have been replaced or disassembled. Pay special attention to inspecting the car floor to determine if it is a flood-damaged vehicle.

Last month I just helped a friend pick out a used car, focusing on three key points. First, check the vehicle's history, such as insurance claims records and maintenance receipts, to avoid buying a car that's been in an accident or flooded. Then, take it for a test drive yourself, paying attention to whether the engine sound is smooth, if there's any jerking when shifting gears, and how responsive the brakes are. Finally, bring along a knowledgeable friend to inspect the chassis for any rust or welding marks. Of course, don't just go for the cheapest price—around 20% off market price is reasonable, anything significantly lower is definitely suspicious. Remember to have the seller provide complete documentation and sign a written agreement before transferring ownership for maximum security.
