1. Where to buy and how much should you pay?

Decide the place from which you are going to buy it – Service provider, big dealership, or Virtual resources ( dealer) or any Individual dealer. Picking up the right place to buy will give you a huge advantage. Amount of payment is also a deciding factor when choosing a Pre-Owned Car Dealer.

2. Second hand used car dealership or private seller

Be sure about your need and do not hesitate to go for another seller if things don’t feel right. A sweet-talking salesperson can change your decision and you may end up buying the wrong one.

The car should be free from any major defects. Always make sure the vehicle systems like the brake, emission, lighting, engine cooling, steering and suspension are all in good condition. To save a lot of maintenance expenses in the long run. If you are not satisfied then look for another pre-owned car dealer.

Check for cleanliness and condition of the interior. Always, check the stereo, air conditioning unit and windows. Take a look at the mileage reading on the odometer. Check the condition of the seat roof etc before you pick the car and choose your dealer.

To figure out the exact condition of the car nothing beats the test drive. Get behind the wheel and drive around for about 20 minutes at different speeds. This would give you an idea of the car’s condition and defects. If the dealer is not offering ant test drive leave the place immediately.

7. Double-check the paperwork

Look at the original invoice, receipts and other paperwork. This would help make it clear if the car has met with any accidents as well as let you (or your car mechanic who you are carrying with) understand if any work was done on it as well as the car’s true mileage. Compare the car’s Engine and Chassis number against what is given in the RC book. Take a look at its service book and make sure the original owner has paid all the taxes.
