Buying a car is always full of excitement. Finally, our savings will be reflected in a new investment that will be very useful in our daily life. However, when it comes to a vehicle with several hundreds of kilometers, take forecasts for that our experience does not turn into tragedy.
That is why we go with some experts in the field who helped us to collect these ten basic tips to consider before purchasing a used car.
It is important to note that this information cannot collect on the internet. Each point is a result of the opinion of the respondents.
1. A general council is to avoid the cars of large lots and, above all, get away from the coyotes. The reason is simple. The business in those places, large markets, and for the coyotes, is to sell a car, in the state that is, in any way. As well, these vendors hardly list the vehicle problems. In fact, the attempt to greenwash and if you find something you worried they will tell you that a setting is fixed. Recognize a coyote is very simple. Generally they seek you, nothing more to get to the tianguis of cars you will have it up wondering if you sell or shopping. If you show disinterest in the car in question will offer several more in sale. For this reason we recommend to go with private individuals or agencies that offer Pre-Owned Cars written warranty or batches that are supported by agencies such as ANCA.
2. Always look at the budget without forgetting the potential future problems. Worth it to sit down and think about what is the price range and type of car that we seek, without forgetting that may soon appear problems or adjustments of rigor. Many times we intend to spend all the money saved in the used car more sporty, or added luxury, without thinking that certain brands have elevated parts and services, and that, on occasions, these costs are increased even more when it is discontinued models. Although, they can be very beautiful, a simple tuning can become a headache.
3. Buying a car is not a task for a single day. Even if you think you have found the car of your dreams, don't rush, you do not want to run to the bank immediately to make the corresponding deposit. Even if the landlord presents the documentation, make a new appointment. Feel at home with a cool head, but, above all, take time to verify that the car was not present legal problems. Remember that you can show a sheet in a car without report of theft, but usually such reports are updated 24 hours after a complaint. At the same time, it is important to review the status of the potential fines of transit, verifications and tenure payment online. All this you can see in the Repuve.
4. The first factor in that we always look is the condition of the bodywork; it is normal, well they say that the view is born of love, and if the exterior attracted us will be the first point to inspect the rest of the vehicle. An indication that the vehicle has undergone mishaps is the painting evil worked. Check the light that no key changes in different areas of the vehicle, spaces with the paint cracked, with drops or termination rough (this reveals, in addition to poor preparation or poor quality of the product, the vehicle was repaired in the sector).
5. There is a false belief that, passing a magnet through the foil, detect areas where it has been used pasta, as the magnet will stick to the metal and it will fill on the product. This is completely false, because even with the metal will stick, it would have to be a major coup and normally these are very obvious, hardly fit resanados if not done a good job of tin and paint.
6. Check that the car is not unbalanced. Czech Republic the spaces between each side of the fascia and the fender. When these are different is unequivocal proof that the car has a descuadro repaired, possibly (even a little) the soul and was straightened. Don't forget to check underneath the fender and check that there are no wrinkles in the racks, the points of connection of the shock absorbers and suspension.
7. In larger vehicles to 10 years corrosion is a factor to consider. In these cars, the rubbers of the frames of the doors, trunk and glass begin to crumble, allowing the passage of water and alojandola in the inside of the body. Check the bottom of the callipers and posts of the gate, under the carpet in the trunk, and the surrounding areas to the drainage of the engine does not present points of oxidation. Normally if the drain is plugged, the fluid will leak into the cab, from the area closest to the pedals. The key changes in the carpet in this area, or the hardening of the same, can reveal this problem.
8. The mechanical review must never be lacking; but even without being experts we can detect problems in the following manner. When you turn on a car in the morning, this issue of water vapor from the exhaust normally; however, the gases from the exhaust when the car is already warm are not a good sign. The white smoke when the car is hot, and in March, we indicate that change of stamps and packaging or even replacement of the rings of the engine. The black smoke is indicative of the fact that the vehicle is burning bad gasoline due to lack of tuning, or by sensors and injectors clogged, while the blue smoke, worst of all, indicates that the engine must be lowered to rectify it.
9. Notes from underneath the vehicle, if this leaks any type of fluid, water, antifreeze or oil, requires a major revision, there may be broken hoses, packaging or containers with leaks that will no doubt require immediate mechanical attention.
10. In the case of standard transmission is basic to accelerate does not sit, otherwise may require tuning or change of mechanical sensors (only in the workshop you will be able to give the exact diagnosis). In automatic cars it is advisable to get the vehicle, wait for it to heat up a little and you turn on the fan, so that the changes are also hot and to be able to check that there is no paste, shine or kick at the time of moving from one speed to another.
