Used Cars

Buying a used car is an alternative choice for consumers compared to buying a new car because it is much cheaper. Used car prices are 20 to 30 percent lower when compared to the prices of new cars. Typically, cars are still in good condition and has low mileage. This means you can have a comfortable car at a reasonable price.

However, buying a used car is not an option for all users. Usually the last car owning experience affect a person either to choose a new or used car. To reduce risk, some measures can be taken if it is to buy a used car.

Tips on Buying a Used Car:

• Check the foot pedal and the brake. If the foot pedal has worn out, it shows the car has reached a high level of travel. If the brake pedal has worn out, it indicates that the car is being driven in urban areas.
• See if there are traces of paint that are new or different paint colour on the body panel. If there is, chances are it's broken body parts, which have been repaired and new paint closed.
• Check the odometer reading. Unorganized numbers show the odometer has been turned back. Remember, high mileage is not a bad thing if the car is still in good condition.
• View twisted wiring in the car hood. Also check your hoses to make sure whether it was cracked or weathered. This could indicate the car is old and no longer in good condition.
• See if there are oil leaks on the ground and also in the engine. This is an indication of motor problems.
• Check if the exhaust brittle or corroded. It will turn out to be black where the leak occurred.
• View baldness and cracks on the face and edges of the tires. A tire worn on one side only shows the unbalanced alignment.
• Doors should be in good condition when you open and close it. See the use of rubber around the doors. Check windows and locks. If all this does not work well, the previous owner of the car does not make great care.
• Get the vehicle identification number and do some research with the Road Transport Department where you can check prices, title search and also the history of the vehicle.
• Find a trusted mechanic or who are knowledgeable in the field of mechanical along with you when purchasing the car.
