What should I pay attention to when buying a used car? What are the specific processes and common pitfalls?

For most people in China, "buying new things instead of buying old ones" is a deep-rooted concept. As far as buying a car is concerned, even if a bullet loan brings a new car back, it will not consider buying a used car. Because the new car is living with it from scratch, as time goes by, you know it and it knows you.

On the contrary, it is not easy to buy a used car. Who doesn't know that the second-hand car market is extremely deep, and even veterans who mix in this circle sometimes inevitably choke. What's more, it is a "little white" consumer who knows nothing about cars. Otherwise, people call it buying a car, and you call it spending money on "stories".

Because the used car market is chaotic, there are many wolves, tigers and leopards in it. So, is Chebai only suitable for buying new cars and destined to miss used cars? Of course not, everything still needs our dialectical view. Undoubtedly, with the same car purchase budget, buying a used car is far more cost-effective than raising a new car.

For example, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Land Rover were hundreds of thousands five years ago. Now you only need 65438+ 10,000 yuan to drive home, which is a good way to do big things with small money. However, I want to play with used cars to avoid into the pit being cheated, learn some professional knowledge and know some industry slang. The high probability is to send the "head" directly and pay the tuition fee to the black-hearted merchants in vain!

Used car purchase process

As we all know, the car itself has a complicated structure and a relatively high price. Even buying a second-hand car is by no means as simple as buying a radish and a cabbage, especially when buying a second-hand car, the buying process is relatively cumbersome. Under normal circumstances, an orderly second-hand car purchase process includes these nine links.

The above is the general process needed when buying a used car. Of course, in the actual car purchase process, the specific process varies from car to car and from person to person. Next, I will give you a detailed introduction. First of all, before you consider starting a used car, you'd better determine your own car purchase budget, future car use scenarios and needs. This makes it easier to choose, so as to be targeted.

For example; The purpose of buying a used car is to practice your hands, so models under 50 thousand are more suitable for you. If your demand is to shape the company image, the car scene is business reception. Then, high-end brands like Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Toyota Erffa are obviously more suitable for you.

After determining the car purchase budget and demand, the next step is to find a car. Nowadays, with the popularity of the Internet, major car portals and mobile apps can be used as your car search and car selection channels. After taking a fancy to a certain model, you can contact the seller first to get a general understanding of the car condition information. If it feels right, then you need to see the car on the spot.

On-site vehicle inspection and vehicle condition evaluation

It is essential to see the car on the spot, which is especially important for both buyers and sellers. By looking at the car on the spot, you can understand the situation of a car more intuitively, thus providing reference decisions for your purchase. Of course, the key to seeing a car lies in the identification of its condition! This link can be described as the top priority in buying used cars. Used car appraisal needs certain professional skills to understand the condition of a car.

If you are a car white, you know nothing about the mechanical structure of the car. Here, I suggest you use a third-party appraisal agency to help you check the condition of your car. It is reliable to leave professional things to professional people. Especially in the case of not trusting the seller, it is more necessary to have a third party to identify it. It is far more cost-effective to prepare beforehand than to remedy afterwards.

Although it costs extra to pass the third-party appraisal agency, they will issue a detailed car condition report after a comprehensive and professional appraisal. Specifically, it includes whether the vehicle belongs to bubble car, accident car, reconstruction car and fire truck. In addition, whether the vehicle has been adjusted, painted or putty-scraped, etc. Through this appraisal report, you can fully understand the condition of a car and know what it is.

Talking about price and transfer

If you have a comprehensive understanding of the car condition, you will feel more satisfied. Then, you can negotiate with the seller. Because used cars are a car condition and a price, the prices of various brands and even models are different. At this time, you can use the big data of the Internet to compare the price of the whole network and refer to the historical transaction price of this model, so as to get a reasonable price. In addition, the appraisal report given by the third party is also a good bargaining chip.

After the price is settled, we will enter the transfer link at this time. The buyer and the seller prepare relevant documents and procedures, and the seller provides a green copy (motor vehicle registration certificate), the original owner's ID card and the original car purchase invoice; Buyers are simpler, just bring your ID card and make sure you have money in your pocket. Here is a reminder that if you want to buy a car in a different place and have a local license, you need to provide a local temporary residence permit.

The information submitted by the buyer and the seller shall be checked by the vehicle management office. Then choose the number and get the temporary card and you can go home. Of course, how can you drive on the road without insurance? In addition to compulsory insurance, commercial insurance such as car damage insurance, three insurance and glass insurance can be selected according to their own needs.

Finally, spend some money to get the car ready, wash it inside and out, and renovate the place where it should be renovated. When everything is sorted out, the general process of buying used cars is over.

A guide to used car slang

King Gehudi? Baota Town River Demon! In the movie "Taking Tiger Mountain Outward", the "slang" dialogue between Yang Zirong and the bandit mountain carving is deeply rooted in people's hearts. The concept of "slang" originated from bandits' circles. Through mutual "slang", the identity of each other is determined and some important information is transmitted. Shrimp has a shrimp lane and crab has a crab lane. If you want to get involved in the used car industry, it really doesn't make sense not to know some slang.

For example; Lao Wang! I was lucky enough to collect several pots of water today. Then your son is a leak. These cars can't be pure water! Bah, my old Li has been involved in used cars for many years and never misses.

Who, like you, just entered the business, got a "big cutting car" and later brought back several "mouse cars" and even "bath cars" It's interesting that you made someone else's "tea" and gave them the "back door"! Look which car doesn't have a "birthday". Old Li Can can't talk, you are rubbing salt in my wound!

After reading the above "slang" quotations, I wonder if you have learned it? Of course, the "slang" in the used car business is actually far more than that, for example; Words such as "getting off the train", "wearing a gown", "jacking up the cylinder head" and "changing the gantry" are not introduced here.

Common pits when buying used cars

Used cars have the special property of one car, one condition and one price, and the structure of the car itself is complex. As a result, the used car market is chaotic, and there are many "black-hearted" businesses. In order to maximize profits, it is not uncommon to shoddy and conceal the condition of the car.

One: "low price trap". By attracting potential consumers with attractive low prices, some customers often consider themselves lucky. So, I quickly paid the deposit before I saw the car. When you contacted the car, you were told that it had been sold, and then they recommended a car of their own. However, the price of this car is much higher than the previous one.

Two: "loan scam". This routine is very common in the used car market. By inducing you to buy a car by stages, then playing word games on the car purchase contract, you finally find that a series of unrelated expenses are tied up, thus increasing the car price in disguise.

Three: "Be careful with the car". The phenomenon of "adjusting watches" has long been a secret in the industry. Because consumers tend to care about the kilometers of vehicles, and the operation of adjusting meters is relatively simple. Therefore, in order to make more money, car dealers will basically cheat on the mileage. If you want to avoid the car, these three tricks can be used as a reference.

Judge whether the age of the car matches the mileage. In general, the mileage of family cars is 1 ~ 20000 kilometers a year. If the mileage of a car is obviously inconsistent with the age of the car, then it can basically be judged that the car is a rice-adjusting car.

Check the 4S shop maintenance record of this car. Most private cars will choose to be maintained in 4S stores during the warranty period. Every time "Dabao" and "Xiaobao" kilometers are uploaded to the maintenance record of 4S shop. Therefore, by comparing the maintenance record with the current mileage information, it can also be judged whether the vehicle has been adjusted.

Observe the degree of internal wear. If a car is older, the seat, steering wheel, handlebar and other parts will definitely have obvious wear and tear. Kilometers can be tampered with by the way, but these places with high frequency of use are not easy to cheat.

abstract

Be careful when buying used cars. Never act alone, just listen to the seller's sweet words. Most importantly, remember not to covet petty advantages and fall into the trap of low prices. For that kind of used car with excellent car condition and beautiful price, please give up this opportunity decisively, because there will be no pie in the sky and thorns behind the roses.
