To begin with, even when planning a purchase, a certain barrier arises in the form of mileage. It must be small. For example – 60,000 km. For such buyers, cunning sellers twist the mileage. An important fact: a modest mileage does not mean that the vehicle is in good condition. Any downtime for the “iron horse” is detrimental, especially a long one. During this time, the heat shield fasteners may have rotted away or the exhaust may have rusted.
Multiple owners
Another common misconception: if there are multiple characters on the change of ownership in the TCP, expect trouble. But it is quite normal that during 7 years of operation, the car has had four owners, for example. And if they were also neat, then such a car can be a real gift. In any case, you should look at the technique and not at the list of people in the documents.
to coordinate
If there is a chip, it means that all the “juices” have been squeezed out of the foreign car. If we are not talking about a drastic increase in power and the installation of non-standard wheels, then most likely the engine and transmission will be in good working order. Regular “frying” is only for the benefit of the device. And the work performed by normal specialists will only say that they did not spare money for the maintenance of the “iron horse”. By the way, the chip affects the resource last, so there’s no need to be afraid.
Only “white” dealer
Buying a used car in a large network also involves risks. There are cases when sellers did not say that the catalytic converter of the car was cut out or that there were small scuffs in the cylinders. In any case, it is necessary to conduct a diagnosis and inspect the chassis on the lift.
Car has been in an accident
Many immediately exclude specimens that have had an accident. But we recommend that you pay attention to what these collisions were. A light touch to the bumper does not cause serious problems. And in the city it has already become commonplace. Just check the quality of the repair. Even small things are done badly? Refuse to buy. But if the work is performed qualitatively, then there is nothing to worry about.
