Top 16 Tips On Buying A Used Cars by usedcartips(m): 5:16am On Jan 22, 2020
Thinking of buying a new or used car; looking for where to buy cheap tokunbo cars in Nigeria? Ready and raring to enter the lion’s den Online? Click here; and get yourself a great deal? Looking forward to pitching your wits and cunning against some of the world’s best salespeople on their own turf, and in their area of expertise? I thought not! That’s why we’ve prepared these 28 top car buying tips to make sure the second biggest purchase of your life goes to plan…

Before you set out
1. Dealing with a registered and licensed motor vehicle dealer is a lot less risky than buying privately from a random seller on the roadside. You never know if the person selling the car is actually its legal owner. You could end up shelling out for something that ends up in big trouble if you fail to due your own due diligence before making a payment.

2. Plan carefully. It’s only too easy to be seduced by the good looks of a vehicle in the car sales yard and make a dicey decision that you will end up regretting. Know what you want before you go and keep this in mind at all times when dealing with a salesperson. You will need to do your homework. This will involve a bit of research. Brochures from the manufacturers are good for looking at the technical specifications and the differences between model variants, but manufacturers’ reviews are obviously biased and they want you to buy the car so they will naturally make it sound good. Independent reviews are important for finding out what the car is like for reliability, practicality and handling. Use the internet and call an expert technician (your local mechanic) for more details. Some independent reviewers have their biases, too, so make sure you read several different independent reviews rather than just one or two.

3. Gather together any information you have on the car including reviews, manufacturer’s specifications etc. Pop a calculator into your shopping pack too.

4. Talk to people who own the vehicle you are interested in and your local mechanic. Friends and family are likely to be honest with you about what the car is like and, if you’re lucky, can let you have a drive to see how it handles. If you don’t know anyone who owns what you’re interested in, then you can try talking to a stranger who does own one if you meet them in a car park. Most people are happy to talk about their cars and take your interest as a complement. You will, however, only get a quick review this way.
