5 Things you must check while buying a Used Car

The used car market is flourishing and is giving a tough competition to the new car market. Most of the people are looking to buy used cars instead of new cars as the used cars are very economical and a small investment in the servicing of the used cars can do a complete makeover and give them a new look.  

A used car cannot be trusted blindly as someone else had driven it before you. It would be good to have a thorough inspection of the car before buying it. If you are unaware of the car functionality, then get a friend along with you who has good knowledge about cars. Some minor things can be ignored but important things like engine, tyres, brake, mileage etc cannot be ignored.

The parts and the features that must be inspected before buying the car are described below.

1.      Car Body

This must be thoroughly inspected even before finalizing about the car buying decision. Carefully examine the whole car body and see for any major defects in the body. Look out for dents and scratches on the glasses of the car as you will need a repair for that.

2.      Engine

The engine is the heart of the car and if there is any issue with this part, then your car performance will never be optimum. Check under the bonnet whether any spare or local parts have been installed in the engine. Check for any major defects in the system and avoid if maintenance is much higher.

3.      Mileage

This must be on your priority list. As the fuel charges are touching sky, the mileage of a car can play a major role while deciding for the car. Ask the owner for the mileage and see whether you will be able to manage or not. If not, then it is better to leave such a car.

4.      Interior and Accessories

Check the car interior for cleanliness and check the condition of seats, lights, tyres etc. A dirty interior will never attract you. Also, test the meters, horns, brakes etc and all other smaller parts of the car before finalizing the deal.

 

5.      Papers

At last, check all the papers related to the car registration, insurance, etc. Check the authenticity of the papers so that you won’t get into a trouble after buying the car as fraud people may try to sell you a stolen car.
