All you need to know if you are buying a used car
If you opt for a used
car because your budget is smaller, or because you will only use it for a short
period of time, we recommend you to search with private sellers through
websites, prestigious second-hand stores, in the classified section of the
newspapers or in the section of pre-owned cars of the automotive agencies. It
is recommended that the car you buy be between 2 and 5 years old.
Compare
prices
For used cars, you
enter the year, the make, the model and the conditions of the car (ie, if the
verification passes, if the tires are in good condition or if you need sheet
metal work), and the page give you the average price. In the case of new cars,
it asks for make, model, and characteristics such as body type, transmission,
and air conditioning.
Having this base, if
you want to buy car online a car of the year you can go to dealerships and
compare the prices they offer with those of the Blue Book. It is important to
mention that different dealers of the same car brand may have different prices.
All car brands have months of the year where they make great offers. Usually,
the big promotions are late summer or early fall, when the new models arrive;
the reason why the cars of the previous year usually have sales. December is
also a good month to buy as dealers usually offer discounts to meet their
annual sales goals.
If you want a used car
it is important to dedicate enough time to compare options, this is because it
is common for there to be good offers since there are always people looking to
sell their car as fast as possible
Be
sure to carefully review all legal documents
Before making a
decision, it is important that you consider the terms of the contracts. It is
very important to ask about the CAT (Total Annual Cost) and ask yourself what
amount you could pay per month. Find more here about old car buy.
There are many people who end up in debt, even
when the car is no longer functional because they did not think well about the
total cost to which their car would come and let themselves be carried away by emotion.
Ask
the dealers if you can negotiate other types of payment plans. Before closing
the deal, make sure you understand all the terms and conditions.
Ø If
you want to buy a used car, make sure that the seller is reliable and that you
deliver all the papers in order.
Ø In
the first instance it reviews these aspects:
Ø Investigate
that the car is not stolen or has been reported in an illegal act
Ø Check
that the papers are in order and give you all (circulation card, corresponding
plates and stickers, decals and tenure receipts, vehicle verification and
purchase agreement)
Ø Check
that there are no accumulated fines
