Are you looking to buy a car? But a brand-new car is beyond your budget? In such a situation, the best option for you is to buy a used car. This is because a used car will be available at a lower price than a new car. If you are also planning to buy a used car for yourself, then you should consider many things before buying the car. Let’s tell you about it in detail.
**Check the engine and cooling system**
Once you decide to buy a used car, it is necessary to check it thoroughly before buying it. Check in such a way that whether it is worth giving that much price or not. For this, you can take the help of an experienced mechanic who can find out whether the car is worth buying or not. They can check the condition of the engine, wheels, transmission, cooling system, exhaust, and many such things.
**Condition of the car**
A common scam when buying a used car is that the original owner, after finalizing the deal, may change its original parts before handing over the car. Keep an eye on such things and have the correct information about everything. To assess the performance of a used car, drive the car with the owner, who can give some information about the performance.
**Check the car papers carefully**
It is very important to check the documents of the used car to avoid buying a stolen car. Information like the registration date and number, the owner’s details, and the engine and chassis number are necessary to confirm the ownership of the car. At the same time, the most important thing in this is that after the deal is done, the person who has taken the car should ensure that the car’s insurance has been transferred in his name. Apart from this, before the transfer, also check the bill, PUC, maintenance records, and tax records. If the car is on loan, then it is necessary to get Form 35 and NOC from the lending institution.
**Servicing and modification records**
A good way to check the performance of a used car is to look at its servicing records. How many times has the car been repaired? This information should be in its service/maintenance record. This will also reveal how much the previous owner took care of the car and also did the necessary repairs. At the same time, it is possible that the previous owner of an old car has made some changes, which may not be in accordance with local rules and regulations.
