What do you want to see when you buy a used car? What should I pay attention to? How can I not be cheated?

Matters needing attention in buying used cars

Some used cars are in good condition and attractive prices, but it takes a lot of professional knowledge to find used cars. If you don't understand the tricks, it is also very depressing to buy an accident car or test drive. Here are some tips for buying used cars.

First, check the vehicle license plate.

When buying a car, pay attention to check whether the certificate of the car is complete, whether there is any arrears, and whether there is any illegal behavior. If you have incomplete documents or some bad records, you will have a lot of trouble going through the relevant procedures after buying a car. There are many lessons in this respect, which are worth learning from by consumers.

1. Seller's ID card. By checking the identity card of the seller, it can be judged whether the seller has the right to use and control the motor vehicles he sells.

2. Motor vehicle driver's license. This is the proof that the motor vehicle has obtained the legal driving right. Vehicle registration certificate. Every car on the road will be registered at the local vehicle management office, and if necessary, you can call the vehicle management office for verification.

3. Proof of motor vehicle origin. That is, the original car purchase invoice. If it is already a second-hand car, it depends on whether there is a car purchase invoice for a second-hand car, in case you buy a car with improper origin.

4. Motor vehicle number. Mainly depends on whether there are traces of smearing changes, which should be consistent with the number plate registered on the driving license. The frame number should also be consistent with the number registered on the driving license, and the frame number is generally engraved on the dashboard of the vehicle; Insurance policy, only the insured car, in the event of a traffic accident, can minimize the loss of the owner.

In addition, if it is an operating vehicle, it is also necessary to check whether there is a road transport permit.

Finally, we need to pay attention to some tax payment certificates, including road maintenance fee payment certificate, purchase tax and vehicle and vessel use tax payment certificate, whether the engine number and frame number are modified, whether they are consistent with the exercise certificate, and whether other documents are consistent with the vehicle.

Second, check the condition of the car

The residual value of a used car is the residual value of the vehicle, that is, after comprehensive scoring according to the age, maintenance and performance of the vehicle, we can know the real condition of the vehicle. You can start with the following points:

1. Find traces of accidents and hidden dangers.

Open the carpet inside the car and see if there are any serious injuries hidden in the car body below. Observe the door carefully to see if it has been repainted. Any new paint shows that it covers up defects that people don't want to know. Check whether the whole car lines are smooth: because once the car is scratched or collided, the body lines are the most difficult to repair symmetry. Whether the gaps of all parts of the vehicle appearance are consistent. Check whether the finish of the paint surface is uniform. Whether the sealant in all parts of the car body is complete. Whether the welding points of the original car are complete.

2. Determine the real age of this car.

Look at the rubber mask on the pedal, which can best reveal the actual age of the vehicle. The service life of rubber masks is about 30,000 kilometers. People often worry that the original owner will cheat on the odometer and there is a way to find out. You can check the latest maintenance invoice or manual of the car, which should indicate the mileage of the car.

3. Carefully check the degree of tire wear.

Especially the front wheels. If the pattern is flat and the edges are completely angular, it shows that the original owner's driving habits are rude. In this way, not only the tire itself is in poor condition, but also the overall condition of the whole car will be very problematic.

4. Physical condition

Turn around the car patiently, carefully observe the edges of the fender and axle, and see the wear and tear of the parts and the weather.

5. Engine Appearance and Operation

Look at the appearance of the engine and identify the traces of oil leakage. Light the engine and observe the color of the exhaust gas. If the tail gas is translucent light gray, it is in good condition. If it is black, it means that the engine has not been adjusted; Blue indicates that the engine is very tired; White indicates that the cylinder gasket will be scrapped.

6. Check the driving performance of the vehicle

If you want to check the condition of the clutch, I'll teach you a wonderful method. When starting, put the transmission in third gear instead of the usual first gear. If the engine does not stall as usual, the clutch is aging.

Then you should drive some distance, wait for the engine to reach the right temperature, and continue to listen carefully to the sound of the engine. Change the speed as often as possible to see how the vehicle reacts when accelerating and decelerating. If the car body and steering wheel shake at high speed, it will be very bad. When buying old motor vehicles with a long service life, we should especially compare the price difference and consider the maintenance cost.

Third, check vehicle insurance.

Individuals will try to apply for full insurance in the first two years of vehicle use because they are eager to buy a car or in order to save costs. The real test drive vehicles are often not fully guaranteed because the new car dealers have the ability to maintain themselves and the vehicles are used in a certain geographical range. There are also some accident cars. It was because there was no insurance that they had an accident when using it. Faced with huge maintenance costs, car owners choose to sell their vehicles. These two situations can also be reflected in the amount of insurance. In addition, you can know the accident situation of the vehicle during the insurance period through the insurance company, so that you can know the accident history more thoroughly.

Fourth, check the original owner.

Mainly check the motor vehicle registration certificate. The owner's information will be recorded in detail on the registration certificate. At this time it depends on whether the owner is an individual or an organization. Generally speaking, vehicles are personal, and the reason for selling them may be because of financial problems or because the vehicles are mainly immigrants. If it is an organization, you should carefully look at which organization it is. It is best to remember the name of the unit clearly, and then go home and search with the search engine to see what the unit is in charge of. Generally speaking, a new car sales company will apply for a vehicle license when testing a car for test drive. Need to distinguish whether the unit is related to new car sales. This can largely avoid buying a test drive vehicle.

Cars with the same age have different technical conditions, and the price difference will be great. A car of about 60,000 yuan can have a price difference of 1- 1.5 million yuan at most. Buy, the key lies in its quality and after-sales service, to the regular second-hand car business units, through the right channels to buy. As long as you carefully observe and test, especially check the corner, you will be able to choose a satisfactory used car when you buy a used car.
