Things to check before buying a used car


Many people get in a tight spot when it comes to buying a car. Buying a used car may be easy on your pocket and maybe that is what you want to do. But, how do you check if the car is in good condition? Will it be durable? How to choose the right car? Don’t worry; here are a few tips that will help you to check a used car without being taken for a ride.

Get to know the value of the car in the market

Before you step into a dealer showroom, make sure you know the ballpark figure of the car you are willing to buy. Please consider other factors when you are estimating like the model, mileage, year, overall condition, etc. Once you have comprehensive knowledge, you can estimate the price of the car. Let’s say the value of a 2012 BMW 320i is $13,000 in the market. You have found the same 2012 BMW 320i model at $9,000 and the condition is good as well. Now, you know you have got yourself a good deal.

Examine the car thoroughly

Inspect every inch of the car’s exterior and interior. On the exterior, inspect for scratches and dents. See if there are any parts where there is a difference in the shade of the paint, this might mean the part might have been damaged before and has gone through a rework. In the interior, check for any wear and tear on the seat cover, check for the AC vents, music display system, and others. Please do check for the engine, out of all, this is the least you would expect trouble from.

Take the car for a test drive

You will get to know the car’s core performance and condition only when you hit the road.
See if you are comfortable with the seats. Check if the car’s suspension is smooth. Make sure the engine is responding as it should when you hit the accelerator. See if the exhaust is emitting black smoke. This can be a problem in the engine. Check if air conditioning is working.  Examine if the car is handling well around the corners, check for brakes. See how smooth the gear operates.

Check for car’s history

You can now find a car’s history online or offline to check for any fraud, accident history and authenticity.

Get the car checked by a professional

If you consider yourself to having a mediocre experience in cars, then leave it to a mechanic to inspect the vehicle’s engine condition.
