Purchasing a used car sometimes or most of the times its hard, confusing it can be. There many things to consider now if you are planing to it and you don't even know how to check the best advice is to bring a vehicle appraiser and a technician, now if you don't have an expert friend to check the used car you might consider these things.
- Check the whole unit of the vehicle your planing to purchase
- Be very careful check the paint job of the car you have to take note the dent, any rust spot and scratches. Check it by your fingers feel the roughness of the surface of the panels if there are some residue from the masking tape.
- Check the tires. The surface of the tire must be evenly worn if not maybe there is a problem of alignment.
Never purchase frame damage. Che k the front fender that holds the radiator, check the bolts if its welded or replaced r re align after crashing or have been in an accident.
Check the parts of the engine
-engine no. If match of the registration
-VIN (vehicle identification number)- check belts and hoose
- inspect leakage
- check timing belt
Insect also the Inside of the Car
- check the seats if has scratches, tears, stains and other type of damages.
- check the temperature of the aircon
Check the ODO meter
-check the mileage and calculate it supposedly 18,000 - 20,000 kilometer per year the normal usage beyond that is over used.
- investigate if it is tampered. You should doubt if it has been in used for 5 years but the mileage still 10,000kms
- Default check
Of course, the company of used vehicle or an individual will not sell their vehicle a not running condition. Nevertheless, a default check must take place.
- brakes, head lights, signal lights, lock system
- check the maintainance history
Lastly, this just my opinion but as for me the brand of the vehicle has also significant in buying of course i will choose TOYOTA because for me it has been proven and tested.
