[KiaraAnn]

Concealing the condition of a used car is considered fraud. If you are deceived when buying a used car, it falls under the jurisdiction of the industrial and commercial department, although the police department will transfer the case to them. You can still file a police report. Of course, the most direct approach is to call the 12315 consumer association complaint hotline for assistance. You can also file a complaint with the local industrial and commercial department, which will investigate and mediate the dispute. The following are specific precautions to take when buying a used car: Appearance: Some used cars have been involved in accidents. To increase the value of such vehicles, dealers may refurbish them, repaint the car to make it look newer. Therefore, when buying a used car, pay attention to the appearance. Inspect all corners and components of the car for signs of repainting, and check the tires, headlights, and bumpers for any wear and tear. Key Components: After a car has been in an accident, even if the exterior is well repaired, the frame and chassis are difficult to restore. If you notice any deformation or bending, be cautious as the car may be a salvaged vehicle.
