Questions To Ask Before Purchasing A Vehicle by Cheunshow: 7:31am On Aug 17, 2022
QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE PURCHASING A VEHICLE
Before buying that car (especially one with a price that might be too good to be true), ask yourself these questions:


1-Is there rust, water stains, mold or mildew throughout the vehicle?

2-Is its interior damp in random spots?

3-Does the car smell unusual? Not that “new car smell” but more like a wet dog smell. Turn on the heat and air conditioning and keep the windows up - does it smell now?

4-Does the vehicle smell like someone went through and cleaned it excessively? Is that stench of disinfectant so strong you can barely breathe?

5-Are the electrical components of the vehicle running smoothly? Ask to take it on a test drive to make sure before the purchase.

6-Are the lights throughout the vehicle foggy or filled with moisture?

7-Is the vehicle being sold for less than market value? Why?

8-Did you run a VIN Check on this vehicle? Did anything suspicious come up as a result?
Did you request a full history report? Is there anything odd in this?

IMPORTANT ; If something seems suspicious, ask a mechanic or another expert before making that purchase.

Run a VIN Check on the vehicle, before purchasing.

Don’t fall a victim to buying cars with forged or fake documents to avoid the seizure of your vehicle.

I did a Vin check on a vehicle n found this.
But the vehicle now is in perfect condition, fixed and you can't even tell this happened to it, now my question is, can one still go ahead and buy this car or I this picture a very bad problem that should make we not buy it, give ur advice please

Firstly, this car has been in use for four years after this accident.

TWO POINTS TO NOTE:

1- In considering the purchase of cars involved in collisions, we need to be sure that there was no structural damage, which can seriously affect the performance of the car.

Structural damage to a vehicle can be a serious issue. In some cases, the cost to repair the vehicle may exceed the value of the vehicle.


2- Another thing to consider is airbag deployment, this will tell us if the collision was severe.

CONCLUSIONS:
If there is structural damage to a car, avoid it.

If an airbag was deployed, make sure it was fixed or be ready to fix it after purchase.

Look out for shoddy repairs, especially in the area of painting and be ready to fix it if you must buy the car.


Finally, by looking at this picture, go ahead to buy this car, but take note that 4 years have passed after this accident, which means you can not know if there was another accident after it was brought to Nigeria.

I know it's a good car, being a Toyota product makes it even more sought after. I import cars and many people usually request RX350. A mechanic or owner of RX350 will be in the best position to highlight the common issues with it.
