Imagine, you &
your partner sitting in yours first car and the first long drive. You are driving
the car on vacant broad roads, tress near by the roads blooming with soft
moisture wind of rains & a soft melody song playing at your music stereo. Suddenly
a glass breaking voice disturbed your imagination & you came back to the
practical world.
Confused to buy for
first time a new car or pre-owned car?
Unable to predict
used car will better in your budget or a new car?
Thinking, that car
will be not used daily by you, and then which car is better?
All your confusions
and questions will be cleared & solved by reading this article.
I’m going to give
pros & cons and comparison of the two types of cars.
Used Cars:
Points to be
considered while thinking to buy a used car:
1.
The
number of previous owners
2.
If the
car ever involved in an accident?
3.
Previous
mechanical problem
4.
History
of the maintenance of the car.
5.
Having
Original Registration Certifications
6.
Duplicate
keys availability
7.
Make sure
car is on level ground to check tires and anything is not snagging on the car.
8.
Carefully
check the paint, rusted spots or scratches on the body of car. Touching the
edges of the joint panels, if you feel roughness, it indicates residue left
from masking tape.
9.
Check trunk of the car is not rusted or water
entry due to cracks or holes.
10. Check under the hood of the car for any
indication of dents, damage or rust. These signs will be of poor maintenance or
damaged. Each fender consists of VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) of the
car, if its missing that means fender has been replaced.
11. The hoses and belts shouldn’t have cracks.
12. Check the seats and inside body of the car for
not any damage or stain.
13. Check the odometer of the car for mileage. But
pay attention to a point that buying a 10 year old car with low miles is not a
good thing.
14. Test Drive the car, if possible by driving take
it to a service center & get acknowledge about the condition of the car. In
other hand, while shopping take with you a service engineer for verification of
the car.
15. Check the brakes by pressing down hard enough
to decelerate rapidly , but not enough to slide at the spped of 30mph. If you
feel vibration from the brake pedal, or hear any strange noises, that indicates
need for replacement of rotors and brakes’.
16. Inspect engine of the car for any leakage, as, dark
brown oil stain, indicate there is a leakage in a gasket & in future can
lead to expensive repair.
17. Negotiation of price
18. Note down all the repair or replacement
required from your side, call the auto parts shop and get the total cost. Then
think, you should buy this car not.

Within
your limited budget.

Cons:
1.
Lack of
safety measures.
2.
