It is a common knowledge that purchasing used cars is like buying a lemon instead of a creampuff. However you can always reverse this scenario. That is obtaining a quality and efficient used car that meets your needs and budget. Getting a creampuff in place of a lemon can be attainable if you are able to choose appropriately among the available used cars. Here are the techniques that can help you out in this quest.
Make an impression on the external features of your desired used car. By visual inspection you can definitely make a general idea on the condition of that specific car. The cars paint and exterior facade is the primary thing that you will notice. And you can very well make a good judgment on this aspect. Of course you would not want to see rust or bump spots or wearing tire tread. Gaps and misaligned doors and trunks are also not a good sight. Cars interior can be checked for the seats, mats, carpets and dashboard condition. Also verify on the functionality of the different controls, lights and cooling system.
Determine the condition of the engine. This will be a bit difficult as compared to checking the exterior parts. This is due to the fact that not every one is educated about vehicle. Getting the services of expert mechanic can be a good idea. The downside is you will be charge of around $50 for every car inspection. This is very costly when you will be inspecting several cars. So why not learn some of the basics in pre qualifying used cars. This will include knowing the things that you must check on and their normal or damaged appearance. Say for example in the hood lining, if there are grease or other fluids smeared on it indicates a busted hose. Running engine sound, if it produces a noise that resembles like that of a broken speaker or an old garbage truck then you can conclude of some mechanical problems. Transmission fluid color, this should be pinkish and never with metallic flakes. The exhaust pipe soot deposits, an intense amount of deposit point out a damaged valves or piston rings.
So you have found out that your desired car has a pretty nice built and engine condition for its price. Your hired technician agreed to it. You are ready to purchase. However you are in doubt on the validity of the offer because it seems like the offer is too impractical on the side of the seller. In times like this you should employ third party verification through vehicle history reports. This service is available as early as 1981. The things that made this possible are the innovations on documentation keeping and internet availability. These are the reasons behind the development of Vehicle Identification Number (VIN0 which was eventually established by the government as the standard tracking code for all vehicles history.
Vehicle History reports can enable the buyers of used car to trace the previous owners of the car. Accidents and major repair on this car is also included in the report. The scams on second hand car selling can be easily spotted thru this. Say for instance odometer rollback. You will be able to verify if the reflected odometer reading matches with the cars history report. The other scams like curbstoning and title washing are also detected in this history reports. The benefits of this history reports can save you and your nested egg from purchasing a lemon.
