When inspecting a used car, the main aspects to consider are whether the documents are complete and the procedures are legal and complete; the hardware performance of the car, including whether the engine, transmission, chassis, etc., are normal; and the appearance of the car, including the sheet metal, paint, and body frame. Generally, a passenger car should have a vehicle property registration certificate, driving license, purchase tax certificate, road maintenance fee receipt, and insurance certificate. For trucks, additional documents such as an operating permit and pollution discharge compliance certificate are required. For a used car, these documents must be complete and genuine to facilitate procedures like transfer of ownership and license plate registration. When inspecting a used car, first check the vehicle's appearance for any paint scratches or misaligned sheet metal parts. Next, inspect the engine compartment for oil leaks and sufficient oil levels. Then, check whether the in-car equipment and functions are complete. Finally, examine the condition of the chassis, including the suspension, steering system, transmission, and other components to ensure they function properly. If you lack the expertise to assess the car's condition, it's best to have a professional inspect it.
