1. Used car’s body condition and engine.
When you were looking for a used car you want, invite your friends who know about cars. Enlist the help of your friends to check the condition of the car body, lest it turns out there is hidden damage that has not been repaired. If there is severe damage that is not informed by the seller, you should switch your interest to other cars.
In addition to measuring the used car body, you also need to check the vehicle’s engine. Listen to the sound of the engine is still good, or there are strange noises that indicate interference with the car’s engine. Try stepping on the gas pedal over and over again until you are sure the engine sound is heard.
Also check the engine fan belt, if still pliable or hard already. A loud fan belt indicates that the car is often used. Also, check the condition of the engine cover is maintained in condition or not, and see if there is a leaky pipe or dripping oil.
The latter, together with the used car seller, tries to drive the car around to feel if there are other things that seem odd, such as the gearshift, brakes, clutch, and steering wheel position is always straight when reduced speed cornering and road position. The lights and wipers of vehicles also need to be checked.
2. History Used Car.
Ask the seller a previous history of this car, whether private, corporate, used for a business or have an accident. For extra security, you can buy a used car from a friend or relation. If you buy a used car from a dealer or person we do not know, there is the potential for the use of the car’s prior history of being cheated.
The car is used only for personal use would be maintained than cars used for business and for the company. *If you are from Indonesia: You can use the site “SAMSA” to find out the value selling price of vehicles by the year and the brand that made the tax base, as well as car insurance by entering the number of police to the site.
3. Checks Vehicle Registration Certificate.
Another important thing when buying a used car is to check the Vehicle Registration Certificate, such as tax returns, vehicle registration, and reg. You can check the authenticity of these letters, especially reg.
This is necessary to avoid deception of false reg car you want to buy.
Tax payment history also needs to check. It would be great if the car tax that you will buy is still alive and still long maturity. Never buy a car with a dead tax, because you still have to spend money to pay taxes along with penalties.
If the owner of the vehicle you want to buy has the same area ID card with you, of course, it will be easier again to return the name of the vehicle papers.
