What pits should I pay attention to when buying used cars?

With the continuous improvement of national concept and automobile culture in the past two years. More and more people buy used cars. Of course, people who don't like used cars should not spray them indiscriminately. We just want to share some experience in buying and selling used cars with you. I hope you don't take detours when buying used cars, and buy the most cost-effective car with the least money.

The first thing is to evaluate the price of this car. Everyone likes to shop around. Now that the internet is so developed, you can refer to the platform of used cars and compare it with several car dealers. Understand the approximate price range of the same model, and refer to some transaction data of used car websites to get a general idea of this price.

What is the second point? Buying a used car must be appraised. This is called car inspection. The purpose is very simple, that is, to eliminate accident cars, soak cars and burn them. Whether a used car is worth starting with depends mainly on whether its skeleton is complete and whether its drive system is normal. The so-called skeleton is the four beams and six columns of the car. Generally, the common load-bearing car body on the market is a frame as a whole. These are all human bones. If they are injured, they can't be replaced. They can only be repaired, cut and welded with sheet metal, which seriously affects driving safety. So these key places must not be injured. I will write an article introducing four beams and six columns in the future. If all these are all right, this used car can basically start.

Third, we should pay attention to models that are too old, and it is not recommended for novice buyers to start. First of all, it does not preserve value. Many buyers who buy second-hand cars like to play with cars. Some want to buy a second-hand car two years later because of their first car, so the models that are too old and biased will not keep their value, and there will be more problems and minor problems, so friends with poor hands-on ability may have a headache, and of course they can learn a lot about auto repair. The most important thing is that the accessories are expensive, and it is inevitable to bump when driving. If the accessories are damaged, it's hard for you to find them again. Even if it is found, it is very expensive, not to mention that this model may have been discontinued, and even some car companies do not exist. Therefore, this kind of car is not recommended for everyone.

Fourth, try to choose businesses, not roadside vendors or individual buyers. Everyone knows the depth of used cars. In fact, this water depth is completely confused by some roadside stalls and some individual buyers. However, the whole industry should bear the responsibility. How do you say this sentence? It's just a lot of small dealers on the roadside. They are temporary shops. Many people specialize in accident cars and soaking cars. If once they sell a single order, something goes wrong in a few days, and you go to the car dealer again, the store will be empty and there will be no seller at all. Many people like personal transactions, don't like middlemen to earn the difference, and directly find individual car owners to buy cars, eliminating the difference in the middle. However, this difference has not been preserved. Experienced people know that selling cars by individuals is more expensive than selling cars by businesses. Moreover, many individual car owners lie about their car conditions, some don't even report their car conditions, and some accident cars have hidden dangers, just waiting for you to see them. After the transfer, if there is a problem, you can only eat dumb losses. Leading to the depth of used cars, individual car owners have started too many routines from the source. Why do car dealers want to inspect cars? It is because individual car owners are unkind, full of lies, not reporting the condition of their cars, and lying about the condition of their cars. This is still a suggestion. Let's go to a slightly bigger garage to buy used cars. Because if something goes wrong, Some market supervision will educate and punish these businesses, not to mention that such a big store is guaranteed, and monks can't run away from the temple.

Fifth, it is very important, very, very important. Say the important things three times. Don't buy a car that is too cheap. Many people buy second-hand cars in the hope of being cheap, but there must be a limit to the price. You know, buying a car from a car dealer is as high as a foot. The real master is to return the price to the profit range of the car dealer and entangle whether it should be sold or not. You always want to pick up the slack from the car dealer, buy this car at a price lower than the market price, and then 10%-20% cheaper. If you don't go to hell, who will? If you are too greedy for petty gain and buy this car, you will definitely bear all kinds of problems and troubles brought to you in the later period of this car. Maybe you will buy a mortgage car, a back door car, a black car, a water wheel, etc. But you can't get through that door. Even you will buy an accident car, a soaking car with high repair methods. At that time, you thought it was a great advantage. In the next few months, when various problems surfaced, you would spit them out with great interest. This is what the ancestors said, a small bargain will lead to a big loss.

The sixth point is that the procedures must be complete. Here are some necessary procedures for you. Of course, local requirements are different. The first is the motor vehicle registration certificate, that is, the Great Green Paper, which is the household registration book of the car. From his birth to retirement, all kinds of changes and updates will be registered on it. The second is the driving license. Needless to say, every car will have an ID card. The third is the owner's ID card. If the car is in the name of the company, you need to use the company's organization code certificate. The fourth point is the car purchase invoice. Both new car invoices and used car purchase invoices are required. The fifth point is the tax payment certificate. You must have this. If not, you can reissue it. Of course, if the previous owner didn't pay taxes because of his special status. Then you need to be a scapegoat to pay the purchase tax.

Seventh, it is the maintenance cost. When buying a used car, you must find a friend who knows about it. If there is no one in this field, you can also find a friend who repairs cars, because a friend who repairs cars can get a general idea of how much you need to buy this used car. For example, the replacement of three filters, five oils and three waters, as well as some wearing parts, such as tires, brake pads, brake discs and other equipment costs. These should be included in your car purchase cost, and of course they can also be used as some reasons for bargaining with merchants.

The eighth point is policies and regulations. The policies and regulations here mainly refer to some policies and emission standards for relocation restrictions. Every city has different emission standards and restrictive policies, so we must know our local emission standards and restrictive policies like the back of our hand. This can be found online. Of course, if you buy a car, the general merchants will tell you, otherwise it is a joke that you can't settle down after buying a car.

Ninth, maintenance records and accident records. Of course, if you haven't paid the deposit yet, tell the car dealer to check some messy things. Car dealers are very annoying and will only tell you. Don't worry, this car is absolutely fine. Including the test drive, if you don't pay the deposit, the car dealer won't let you drive this and that at all. But the down payment can be less. If you really want to buy this car, you must give it a comprehensive inspection. Check its appearance records and maintenance records to see if there are any major accidents, or the history of overhaul and replacement, or some suspicious clues. You can also check the real mileage of this car by the way. Many second-hand car dealers adjust their watches, mainly to cope with some kind of divine logic of most consumers. For example, many friends who buy second-hand cars think that cars can't be used if they exceed 6.5438+10,000 kilometers, and they should explode if they exceed 6.5438+0.5 million kilometers. Therefore, car dealers are very helpless to adjust their watches to 80,000 kilometers, which is why they will see a unified 80,000 kilometers in the used car market.

After paying the deposit, you must test drive the car and try to find old drivers and people who know the car. Mainly to experience the three parts of the car: engine, gearbox and chassis. Chassis test, if possible, it is best to test on the shelf. There is also the flexibility of various electronic systems and some software and hardware in the car.

Finally, if conditions permit, you must remember to pick up the car on the spot and try not to let the car stay overnight in the store. Be careful of people, because many bad used car dealers. They said they would go through the formalities overnight and change some accessories, such as tires and brake discs. Buying a car is like marrying a wife. I have paid the dowry and deposit. Dare you let my wife spend the night at someone else's house?

Having said that, in fact, used cars don't have as many pits as everyone thinks. As long as we pay attention to and sum up the above points, everyone can avoid falling into the pit. Just don't be too greedy, don't think about taking advantage, try to choose some big stores. Even if you are cheated, the chances are very, very small. The premise is, as long as you are not too greedy!
