What does used car preparation include?

[LaJake]

Used car preparation involves cleaning the interior and exterior, as well as troubleshooting minor issues on the vehicle. Things to note during the transaction: 1. Verify identity: When purchasing a car, carefully check the ID card, original vehicle invoice, vehicle purchase tax certificate, vehicle license, road maintenance fee certificate, annual inspection certificate, and insurance policy to ensure everything is in order. If the documents are incomplete, you may encounter many difficulties when handling related procedures later. Additionally, verify the engine number and chassis number to confirm the vehicle's identity and avoid being deceived. 2. Check the odometer: To fetch a higher price, dealers often tamper with the mileage. However, mileage is just one factor in assessing a car's condition. The actual condition can be determined by inspecting parts like the engine. The odometer reading is not the sole determinant of the car's price. 3. Inspect the paint: Check for any peeling paint, fresh marks on the body, or excess paint around the exhaust pipe, trim, and windows. If present, it may indicate the car has been refurbished, possibly due to scratches or damage, which can serve as one of the criteria to judge its condition.
