How not to buy a broken car: selection criteria

Despite the fact that the car has long passed from the category of luxury, to the category of means for movement, and more and more cars appear on the roads, many consumers cannot allow you to purchase a new car from the cabin. After all, prices for cars in our country are pretty higher, despite the fact that citizens' income is lower than in European countries. Therefore, for most of our compatriots, there is only one way out - either purchase a new car on credit, or resort to the purchase of a car who has been in use. But as many do not want to assume obligations to the bank for the next few years, they are inclined to buy a used car. Buying a car with hands is always fraught with a certain risk, and when acquiring an outwardly ideal option, many risk getting a cat in a bag. After all, outwardly the perfect car could have visited a traffic accident earlier, and this will cause a lot of problems to the newly-made owner during operation. It should be remembered that the seller will rather try to hide all the shortcomings of the car from you, so you should rely solely on yourself. First of all, you should inspect the car in the daytime, so that as a result of a lack of lighting, do not miss important points. First of all, pay attention to the condition of the paintwork car. If in some place the paint will look fresh, or differ in color, then this indicates that the car has visited an accident. Draw a small magnet on the car body, if you find the places where it will cling to the hood poorly, this suggests that a thick layer of putty was applied to the hood, which is an evidence of either an accident or decay. Pay your attention to the glass of the car, of course, that during the accident they would break. Marking with the year of release may talk about the replacement of glasses. If the year of the glass is different from the year of production of the car, then it means that the glass was changed, and for this there should have been a reason. Remove the rugs in the cabin and inspect the quality of welding seams. If in some places the seams differ, then this suggests that the car was restored after the accident. Having discovered one of these signs, you should refuse to buy this car, because if the seller hid these facts from you, it is not known what other negative characteristics of the car he tries to conceal from you.
