What does 'not discussing the car condition' mean?
2 Answers
Not discussing the car condition means there's nothing much to say about it—it is what it is. Only talking about the price means the car will be sold as long as the money is offered. In other words, the car has many issues, and the seller doesn’t want to elaborate further; they just want to sell it for the price offered. Here are some precautions to take when buying a used car: Choose reputable dealers: When buying a car, make sure to go through reputable dealers so that any issues after purchase can be effectively addressed. Also, be cautious about online used car websites—while they can be somewhat trustworthy, don’t fully rely on them. Pay attention to the mileage: This point mainly applies to retired commercial vehicles. These vehicles not only have high mileage but also issues with their remaining service life. Commercial vehicles are mandatorily scrapped after eight years, so by the time you get one, you might only have a year or two left to use it. How to choose a car: After understanding the purchasing channels, here’s how to select a car: First, browse online to see if there are any models you like, then compare prices on different websites (for reference only). Once you’ve made a choice, visit a used car market to look around and see if you can find the model you prefer.
I've worked in auto repair shops for many years and have encountered many car owners asking, 'What does it mean when someone avoids talking about the car's condition?' Simply put, it's when someone selling or discussing a car intentionally avoids mentioning its actual condition, like playing tricks by glossing over the important details. The reasons vary—used car dealers might want to trick buyers by hiding accidents or defects to avoid lowering the price or dealing with complaints; or mechanics might be too lazy to explain details to prevent customers from asking too many questions. I once saw a case where a buyer trusted the 'no talk' approach, only to find the engine leaking badly after purchase, costing nearly ten thousand to fix. This issue is extremely dangerous, not only causing financial loss but also potentially leading to accidents. My advice is to always insist on full disclosure when discussing a car—check its history, collision reports, and maintenance records, and don't cut corners for convenience or pride. Also, use tools to inspect the chassis or lights yourself to ensure safety before hitting the road. Experienced drivers know transparency is the key to staying safe.
