When buying a used car, consumers are often faced with the difficulty of judging the condition of the car. Once you buy a soaking car, an accident car, or a meter adjustment car, it is difficult to make a claim through the contract, so it is important to seek professional accompaniment or choose a reputable merchant. Here are a few reminders to keep in mind when buying or acquiring a used car:
1. Check whether the contract covers the vehicle in question
In some provinces, the second-hand car sales contract recommended by the industrial and commercial department requires a clear disclosure of whether the vehicle is an accident vehicle, including water immersion, serious impact, fire, engine modification, etc. The contract also stipulates liability for breach of contract, and if the dealer conceals the problem with the vehicle, the consumer has the right to terminate the sale and demand compensation from the dealer for the related losses. If the contract does not address this clause, the corresponding content should be added.
2. Choose a reputable brand second-hand car merchant:
At present, there are a large number of individual brokers in the used car market, and these brokers are often in temporary rental stalls** vehicles. If there is a quality problem after the purchase, the individual broker has often disappeared without a trace. Therefore, it is advisable to choose a large-scale merchant to purchase to reduce the risk of purchasing a problematic vehicle.
3. Be wary of cheap second-hand cars:
Many car owners who are about to buy second-hand cars have left *** For the "cheap cars" provided by car dealers, consumers should be vigilant and avoid buying problematic vehicles.
4. Check the history of the car condition:
Cars, like people, have their own historical archives. Among them, the 4S shop maintenance record and accident record are a very important part of the vehicle historical file.
4S maintenance records refer to the repair and maintenance history carried out in 4S shops or large repair shops from the purchase of a new car to the present. With this record, we can preliminarily estimate the actual mileage of the vehicle, determine whether there has been an accident repair, and assess whether there is a risk of mileage adjustment.
Accident records refer to accidents and insurance claims that occurred after the purchase of the vehicle. This record is provided by the insurance company, and as long as the vehicle has a previous accident report, this record usually has the appropriate information, including the amount of the claim and the specific items.
You need to ask the seller for a vehicle driving license**, and then on the third-party vehicle condition query platform Cheyebao, you can query the history in real time.
After the above steps, if there is basically no problem with the vehicle, then you can consider finding a third party for a comprehensive inspection, and if there is no problem with the inspection, you can buy the car.
Remember, it's really important to have more information about the condition of your car before buying a used car, and I wish you all the best in your car purchase!
