With the increase in the price of a used car, the desire to buy second-hand cars and vehicles is increasing significantly, but many buyers are concerned about buying a used car that the desired car does not have technical problems and defects. In this article, we are going to give some tips about second-hand cars to help you in your purchase and minimize the problems.

Car authenticity

First of all, you should make sure that the car you want has been owned by a certain number of people and whether the seller is the owner or legal representative of this car or not. Therefore, be sure to ask the seller for the green document or car card. A car with multiple owners indicates different tastes in maintaining the car and you should expect multiple breakdowns. Avoid writing a handwritten contract and giving a deposit without receiving the car. It is recommended that you make a contract for the car at official car sales centers that are supervised by the police.

Car mileage

Normally, every car has an average of ten thousand kilometers of mileage per year. Assuming a 1993 model car should have forty to fifty thousand kilometers of mileage. If this amount is more or much less, you should definitely ask about the reason. If the car mileage is twice this figure, know that this car has been used more than usual and you should expect continuous breakdowns, which will cost you money. If the mileage is less than normal, you should know that the mileage of this car has been manipulated, unless the car has really slept, and of course, excessive sleep of the car also causes damage to the car in its own way.

Car body

Be sure to go to a car body and paint specialist before buying a car to make sure of its health, because cars that have had an accident or parts replaced in the rear or front have a severe drop in price. Replaced parts are usually recognizable by the color change and the type of sound they make, and the smoothed parts are completely two-tone or wavy in the light, and they lose their magnetic properties due to being puttyed. Damage to cars that have been in serious accidents and have damaged the chassis of the car is irreparable, so avoid buying cars with a high accident rate as much as possible.

Car Technical

First of all, check the engine and gearbox of the car, because in case of breakdown, it is considered the most expensive part for you. Listen to the sound of the engine and open the engine door and place your palm on the engine door outlet and if water and oil vapor remain on your hand or hold a tissue on the exhaust. If the tissue becomes wet and oily, you should know that the car has mixed water with oil! Also, to check the gearbox, while the car is stationary, raise the handbrake and put the car in 3rd or 4th gear and take your foot off the clutch. If the car does not turn off, you know that the clutch plate of this car is problematic. Also, checking the front suspension and steering balance are important points, of course, you can leave all these tests to a mechanic.

Car Electricity

While checking the battery status for green, make sure the car fans are healthy, and the air conditioner and heater are also important car issues.

The final word

Avoid buying cars whose documents are pending, and avoid making promises with brokers and handing over the car with a license plate along with a power of attorney. Avoid buying cars that are too big and too eye-catching (of course, I mean cars that have been used for a few years!). We hope this short tip will make your shopping experience enjoyable.
