Old immigrants teach you how to buy used cars in Australia?

Owning your own car is the dream of every immigrant and also the dream of Australian immigrants. Having lived in Australia for 7 years, I have both experience and lessons in buying a car in Australia. There are only three ways to buy a car: individuals, professional car dealers and auction houses. You can often find advertisements for selling cars on websites, local newspapers and even car windows. If you know cars or can find a fellow villager who knows cars, you can buy used cars from individuals at will. Cheap and good quality. I feel that this method is more suitable for students and the price is low, but it is relatively lacking in protection. Of course, the price of professional car dealers will be more expensive, but it is very important that most of them are guaranteed. Repairing cars in Australia is very expensive, and it costs one or two hundred Australian dollars to spray a small piece of paint. If the engine breaks down, it will be even more terrible, enough to get back all the money you saved when you bought a car. When buying a car in a car dealership, you must know the time and place of warranty. Many car dealers make traps here. Look at the warranty. Once something goes wrong, the key parts of the problem are not covered by its warranty. If you are lucky, you can find a cheap and satisfactory car at the auction house. You can find this auction house in the yellow pages of the local telephone. Buying a car is a very complicated job. First of all, consider fuel consumption. Buying a car will make insurance cheaper, reduce the cost of gasoline and save maintenance, so it will save a lot in overall cost. Second, it's not a loss to shop around. When buying a car, it is also a better way to visit several car dealers and check online. If you want to borrow money, you need to shop around, buy as many financial institutions as possible, and force them to come up with the lowest interest rate by comparing prices. Third, the history of car owners is also very important. The fewer owners the better. It is not bad that the owner is an old man or a woman. Fourth, the number of the engine must be confirmed. Don't pick up the stolen car, it's a big bargain. In addition, don't forget to buy auto insurance when buying a car in Australia. Basic auto insurance includes three major items: 1. Basic third insurance-protect others from harm caused by you. 2. The damage of your car. 3. Comprehensive insurance, including theft, fire, criminal damage and windshield damage. In addition to the basic third insurance that must be purchased (this insurance is mandatory and legally binding), others can be chosen flexibly. I bought my first car from a private person. First of all, I searched in the classified ads in the Sydney Morning Post to find out the ideal model and price. I chose Ford and Toyota. It took nearly a week from Monday to Friday to call the car owners one by one and ask for the following information: model, engine size, basic configuration and indicators, kilometers, air conditioning, corrosion, car accidents, prices, etc. If you are interested, ask if you can arrange a weekend car trip. If some cars really like it, arrange a car tour as soon as possible and record the owner's address and name. You can call more and arrange to see the car at different times on weekends. You can see three or four cars a day. It is most important to test drive yourself, because it is related to the cost performance of your favorite car. First look at the exhaust pipe to see if it burns oil. It doesn't matter much if an old car burns a little oil, as long as it's not specially burned. However, this can be a reason for your bargaining. Use this to lower the price a little. then what Check all lights, doors, windows and electrical facilities. Don't forget to check the shock absorber, open the front hood, turn on the engine, check the operation of the engine, negotiate or give up with low noise, and finally hit the road. Through the test run, you will know the basic performance of the car, such as braking and gear shifting. You must also pay attention to the mileage, but don't take it seriously. There are very few used cars that haven't been mileage-adjusted. The first process of buying a car in the garage is the purchase process. In this process, you can go directly into the garage to buy your own car, choose your favorite model and configuration, and ask the salesperson for relevant information, such as technical indicators, configuration, color, basic price, etc. If you are interested in a certain model, you can ask for a trial run. At this time, you have to show your driver's license, and the dealership will copy your driver's license and ask for your phone number, mainly to meet the insurance requirements. The second process is bargaining. At this time, you can further ask whether the vehicle model and color are complete and the specific price details, and discuss the price with the sales staff. If you are satisfied with the model, color, configuration, price and service, you will naturally enter the third stage-the order placing stage. At this time, the car salesman will write down the car model, index, configuration, color, special requirements, the price negotiated by both parties, the date of picking up the car, and the deposit amount (generally ranging from $500 to $65,438+0,000) on the purchase order. At this time, the dealership will ask you to show your credit card and driver's license, which means that if the dealership can meet the conditions of the purchase order, you will pay the deposit and buy a car as required. The sales staff of the automobile dealer submits the purchase order, credit card and driver's license to the sales manager of the automobile dealer for review. If the manager agrees to this order condition, the order phase will end. If the ordering plan is not accepted, the salesman will discuss the modification plan with you again, and this process will be repeated once, twice or several times until the ordering stage is finally completed. The fourth process is the process of signing a house purchase contract. At this time, the car salesman will ask you to pay a deposit, and at the same time, his work will be temporarily over. He will introduce you to the business manager and improve other procedures. The business manager will spare no effort to introduce you to the warranty, maintenance and other plans. Many friends think it is not easy to buy a car, so they cherish their cars. Almost everyone is willing to buy some similar schemes generously, forgetting the value factor.
