5. FICTION: Car-fitters is the key to a perfect purchase
15 myths about used cars that people still believe
A few words about specialists to help you find a car. Here, again, everything is twofold. It depends on what kind of specialty. Today it's fashionable, today it's a trend. Look at least at Maxim Shelkov, who clicks and displays crooks with their dead cars, like those rotten nuts.
After the success of Maxim and Ildar AVTO-PODBOR, as well as similar professionals showing the background market, a lot of imitators have been divorced all over the country, who understand a little bit about cars, but want to make money on the highway. Be careful not to run into incompetent citizens!
On the other hand, even a professional cannot always guarantee that nothing bad will happen to the purchased machine during operation. These are the laws of life.
4. Myth: history of service
15 myths about used cars that people still believe
Are maintenance records a guarantee of good technical condition of the vehicle? Do you think so? Think about it again and rethink your approach.
3. myth: the tires are not worn - the mileage is minimal
15 myths about used cars that people still believe
Some customers are looking at the tires first. Compare the date of manufacture with the date of assembly of the car and conclude: the tread is in place, so the car is passed little. No, it is not a fact!
First of all, most people do not even know how to count the tread of tires. As a rule, they just look at the tire from the side and visually try to understand whether it is sufficient or not. They don't know how to use the indicators. That's why it's dangerous to buy used tires on ads
But almost new tires can be worn out or even damaged - just change the angle of view of the inspection.
And then, why are they so sure that the same date of manufacture of tires corresponds to the date of manufacture of the car? Maybe the old 4-5-year-old set was in stock and it was taken at a great discount?
2. Myth: tuning should add a price
15 myths about used cars that people still believe
Additionally, the options set by the previous owner should not seriously inflate the price of the car. Pleasant additions are always a good thing (however, if they do not contradict the legislation: the Government has established the order of tuning and changes in the cars), but it is necessary to understand that modifications (new beautiful discs, stretched interior, improved noise insulation, etc.) - this is primarily a whim of the previous owner. Second, they are also subject to wear and tear and obsolescence. That's why selling a tuned car in stridor is not a good idea. And buying such a car is an unforgivable waste.
1. The myth: purchase of top equipment is justified
15 myths about used cars that people still believe
Another common mistake is to buy a used car with maximum equipment. The logic is as follows: there is not enough money for a new top, but there is a BMW 7-series in full minced meat for 10 years old. It costs as much as a "naked" new car, but all the options are with it.
Usually, such buyers as a result just start to break down all these "puzzles", and there is no money for their repair. And gradually the car turns from a top-quality car into a regular one. Was it worth to take a cool babushka, if it was possible to buy for the same money relative to the budget model in a standard configuration and not to know grief?
