What are the precautions for buying a used car?
1 Answers
Buying a used car requires attention to the following points: 1. Price: When choosing a used car, it's essential to respect its price. Online platforms offer transparent pricing, and a quick search will give you a general price range. You can also refer to the prices in the used car market. After comparing online and visiting the market in person, you should have a fairly accurate grasp of the price for your chosen model. 2. Documentation: Documentation is more important than the car's condition. If a car has issues with its paperwork, it's best to avoid it. Make sure the vehicle's documents are authentic and complete. Check if the engine number and chassis number on the documents match those on the vehicle, whether the car can be transferred, if there are any liens, court seizures, financial disputes, unresolved traffic violations, or if the inspection and insurance are expired. For company-owned vehicles, check if there are any specific local requirements for transfer. 3. Condition: Pay close attention to the car's condition when buying a used car. Even if a car is cheap, think twice if its condition is poor. Once you've identified your ideal model, if your budget allows, try to choose a car that is as new as possible. A newer model usually means less wear and tear, and some cars may still be within the original factory warranty period in terms of both time and mileage.
