Buying a used car comes with a number of risks. Pitfalls are not only in the technical part of the purchased car, but also where the future owner expects the least dirty tricks. However, if you are a little more vigilant and do a few simple research measures, the headache will be a few points less. The AvtoVzglyad portal found out what you should not forget when the decision to change the car has already been made.
In their desire to get behind the wheel quickly, many motorists forget the most important thing: vigilance, which goes hand in hand with a cool head and common sense. Such people are literally blindly ready to buy a car from an unknown citizen. Meanwhile, without serious checks, technical or legal, you are not even allowed to approach a used car. So what’s next if the car technically suits you?
First, we must not forget that even before buying a used car, it must be checked for charges on the website of the Federal Notary Chamber. He could just be released on bail. You can easily do this by checking the VIN number in a special section of the portal.
Do not forget about the official website of the traffic police, which not only publishes news and reports, but also has a functional section “Services”, where the future car owner can get a comprehensive report on the registration history of a particular car.
Here on the portal you can make sure that the applicant for a new car in the family has not participated in serious traffic accidents. Not wanted and has no restrictions on registration actions. The main thing is that the site of the traffic police must work properly, which is quite rare. However, there are alternative services, such as Autotech and Autocode.
It should also be remembered that a “purchase and sale agreement” must be drawn up in triplicate between the seller and the buyer. In that case, the new owner of the vehicle is obliged to insure the car under the OSAGO system, even before the trip to the traffic police.
The car must be registered with the Traffic Police within 10 days of the conclusion of the Purchase and Sale Agreement. Moreover, this can be done at the place of registration of the future owner.
Remember that there are not only two fools in the market looking to sell high or buy low, but also scammers who skillfully use various methods to hide the true state of affairs with their goods. And if there is something wrong with the purchased car, such people immediately begin to play and avoid such checks in every possible way. And this is a serious reason to think about buying, even if you love a car.
