For families with average income, buying a second-hand car is the best choice, but buying a second-hand car is afraid of being cheated. Today, Xiaobian will popularize some precautions about buying a second-hand car, hoping to help you.
Precautions for purchasing used cars
1、 Be sure to find a regular source of cars
Due to the particularity of second-hand cars, there are still certain complexities for laymen in terms of vehicle conditions and procedures, so only in the regular second-hand car market and regular companies can there be a guarantee. Many people, in order to be greedy for cheap, carry out illegal transactions with some roadside and alley individuals, often buy some dirty cars, assembly cars, smuggled cars, etc., as well as hands The "black car" with incomplete renewal and no formalities has brought endless troubles and economic losses to the owners, even lawsuits. If some agents offer to help you, you should check the 'broker's qualification certificate' and the 'used car broker's license' of this person, and never blindly trust people on the side of the road.
2、 Check the car and sign a contract
Many novices are looking for some experts to choose second-hand cars. Not all of them can see 'problems'. Experts in maintenance may not be able to see the formalities. Experts in transaction may not be able to see the problems in car condition. Therefore, we suggest combining several ways to check the key parts of frame, gearbox, engine and chassis according to the car condition. If you still don't have any in mind You can go to the 4S shop of the brand for testing if you have a background. Basically, regular dealers will provide such services. The charges are generally based on the agreement between the two parties.
It is also important to note that the vehicle can be purchased in a company on a certain date of a certain year in the contract when purchasing. The company promises that the vehicle has not had an accident before the date of purchase 'body, chassis, engine, gearbox', the company promises that all formalities and taxes are complete before the date of transaction, etc., and the contents negotiated with the brokerage company are included in the contract and the commitment is made The terms are clear.
In the second-hand car market, if the regular company purchases the vehicle, if there is a brokerage company to cheat the customer, then the customer will enjoy the first compensation provided by the market to avoid the customer's loss.
3、 Try to choose mainstream models
Many novices are hard to avoid "good face" when purchasing second-hand cars. They often choose a cold car, which causes subsequent troubles. For example, 30000 yuan is used to buy the 2003 Alto prince, but customers choose the 1996 Fiat croma with the same price. Although croma has certain advantages in model and performance, due to its low market share, subsequent maintenance and use fees With high usage, the cost of novice users is high, especially the insurance cost, the repair after collision and other problems will cause great trouble. We suggest novices to choose common models with high occupancy, such as Santana, Fukang, Jetta, sail, Bora and other models.
4、 Whether the procedures are complete can not be neglected
Some customers think that the second-hand car is only a temporary use exercise, often ignoring the insurance problem, and they don't know enough about the importance of insurance. In fact, for the novice, the first year of using the vehicle should choose full coverage, or the main insurance items should include theft and rescue, third-party liability, no deductible, vehicle personnel, etc. Even if we save money, the third party liability insurance must not be omitted.
What's the best deal for buying a used car for a few years?
When calculating the value of a second-hand car in the second-hand car industry, it is customary to use the 'ten-year depreciation method': the first three years are calculated by reducing the value by 15%, the middle four years are calculated by reducing the value by 10%, and the last three years are calculated by reducing the value by 5%. From the perspective of renewal, as a part of the car money is to be added to purchase a new car, the fourth year is actually the best time to sell a car. At this time, the psychological gap period has passed, and the price decline tends to be stable. At this time, you can buy a new car of the same level without adding too many car money.
