Is it still advisable to buy a used car with 100,000 kilometers on it?
1 Answers
Judging solely by the mileage, 100,000 kilometers is not much compared to the 600,000-kilometer scrapping threshold, so this used car can still be considered for purchase. However, other factors should also be taken into account, such as whether the chassis and frame are deformed, whether the car's performance has been compromised, and the overall condition of the exterior. Below are some key considerations when buying a used car: Check the exterior: Some used cars have been in accidents, and to increase their resale value, dealers may refurbish them, repaint the body, and make them look newer. Therefore, when inspecting the car, pay attention to signs of repainting in various corners and parts, as well as wear and tear on the tires, headlights, and bumpers. Inspect the chassis and frame: After a car has been in an accident, even if the exterior is perfectly restored, the frame and chassis are often difficult to repair. If you notice any deformation or bending, be cautious as it may indicate the car was involved in a serious accident. In such cases, think carefully before purchasing. Evaluate the car's performance: When selecting a used car, tap the body to listen for any unusual sounds. Also, start the engine and listen for abnormal noises. If you hear anything out of the ordinary, proceed with caution.
