10 Things To Check When Buying A Second-hand Car by wearobo: 12:14pm On Sep 27, 2015
You have already chosen a used car for buying, aren’t you? So you should make sure that you will buy a normal car. We have selected 10 things you need to check before the bargain.

1. Look carefully at the car interior and exterior, everything must be perfect. Any defect can lower the initial price. If you can make up your mind to small holes on the seats, ask a seller for rebates. You should turn attention to paint works on the car body. Paint coat has to be homogeneous.

2. Try a work of all systems inside the car. You should check an air-conditioner, a seat heater system, a headlight system and so on. - See more at:

3. Check the car body. You should crawl under the car and look at its body inside. Check strength of the car body; look for rust,damages and so on.

4. Check cars tires. They haven’t to be old an erased. The tread pattern should be well-defined. Look for tap-sheets. If they are absent it’s great. Sometimes sellers give extra tires for another season. These tires should be checked too.

5. Check car trunk. It should be without any defects.

6. Check availability of a spare extra wheel. Look for any damages on it. It must be perfect.

7. Check a good condition of the car frame. If you can’t do it by yourselves, ask a professional to help you.

8. Have a look under the hood. It’s better to do this checking with a specialist.

9. If the car has a computer. Check to see if it is working when you start the car.

10. Try the car running. Listen to every sound. Feel the wheels and control capabilities. Check brakes.

You must be attentive when you buy a used car. Ask any car expert to help you to check the car. And Remember that it’s so easy to fall into swindlers’ hands. That’s why choose tried and true car markets
