Top Tips To Bag The Best Used Cars On The Market
Tags:
You’ve read several forums and blogs, gathered the opinions of family and friends, and watched numerous hours of video reviews on YouTube. Ready to bag a good deal, you scour classified listings for days on end and come across an offer that’s simply too good to be true. You meet the seller and moments before signing on the dotted line, you ask yourself, “Is this car in as good shape as the seller claims it to be?”
To take the guesswork out of buying your next used car, Arabian Automobiles, the official distributor of Infiniti and Nissan vehicles in Dubai, Sharjah, and the Northern Emirates has collated a list of handy tips and tricks to ensure your next purchase is accompanied by absolute peace of mind.
Things to look out for
Once you’ve narrowed your options down on a particular car, spend some time reading about reliability and issues that owners typically encounter. Not only will this give you a clear idea of what to look out for, but it could also earn you the edge in the final bargaining process.
Brush Up On Your History
Inquire about the service history of the vehicle along with a physical inspection of the exterior and interior. Allow yourself time to inspect the paint, dents or any scratches the body may have, along with wear and tear of the trunk and interiors of the car.
Tick Tock On The Clock
Cars that have exceeded 100,000 kilometers aren’t necessarily running low on durability or endurance. While anything below 80,000 kilometers represents a better buy, a thorough look at the service history of the vehicle should point out any potential red flags.
Private Seller or Dealership
Detailed classified ads are well worth taking a long look at, as they reveal a great deal of information about a car and its history. Having said that, there are obvious pitfalls such as the authenticity of documents and car parts that cannot be overlooked. A better and safer alternative for many are Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles from a certified dealer. Not only are CPO vehicles backed by warranty programs, but they undergo a thorough inspection and come with a certificate of authenticity.
Let ‘Er Rip!
Prior research and in-depth service reports are essential, but what they fail to determine is just how well a vehicle drives. The importance of a test drive cannot be undermined, and so it is a good idea to mirror your daily run, to ensure it meets your expectations 24/7, 365 days a year.
