In today’s day and age, owing a car has become something of a necessity, but the finances needed to get a brand new car pose as a threat. The solution is simple-buy a second- hand used car instead. By used, it doesn’t at all mean a car whose life is almost ending, or a vehicle that only transports while other conditions do not allow it to be referred as a car.
When thinking of buying a used car, first look at the budget you have at hand. Then after that look for cars that are available in that range. Once you have an idea of what options you have, decide on a model that you want and look up all its technical details so that you can get a better picture of how much the car has been used and what actually are you paying for.
There are many ways to buy used cars. You could either get one from someone who is willing to sell off his car leading to a one on one deal or you could go to a new and used car showroom or a showroom that specifically only deals in used vehicles. It is always better to buy from a showroom owner as the dealing would be less troublesome. You will get to know the details of the car as accurately as possible and also obtain after services and a warranty card on purchase. These offers do not come along when buying from a seller personally.
If you happen to buy the car from someone, always run a thorough check on the car. Always ask questions like why they are selling the car for what purposes the car was being used previously. Also get the mechanics of the car checked by your technician because once sold, you will not be able to claim any shortcomings.
It is very important to take the car on a test drive. This gives you an opportunity to test your comfort level while driving the car and also to check any driving problems that the car might have. Listen for any unusual sounds or variation in the swiftness of the car’s movement at different speed levels. You might also want to test the car by driving it on different kinds of roads and terrain to ensure smooth driving.
Other things that you would want to check are the front and back lights and the dippers. Then there are the brake, clutch, accelerator and all the gears. Also check for any engine and oil leaks. See if the battery is a new one, as a car with an old battery would decrease the value of the car and so would any previous accident maintenance works.
At the time of handshaking over the deal, remember to ask for the registration and ownership papers of the car. This is extremely necessary to be sure that you are buying what you actually wanted to pay for and that you owe the car legally.
It is an offence to drive an uninsured car and soon it will be illegal to keep a car that is uninsured to. Under new Government proposals uninsured new and used cars in Yorkand across the UK will be crushed whether they are been driven or not.
This does not apply to cars which have been declared off road, but is designed to discourage drivers from driving without insurance. It is estimated that about one million people drive uninsured in Britain, costing law abiding motorist an extra 30 a year on their insurance premium. Owners will be issued with a 100 fine if the vehicle is not insured by a certain date and face their vehicle being seized and crushed if it is not subsequently insured. Critics suggest that the new proposal will not deter those who deliberately drive without tax or insurance but will catch out the average motorists- ‘chancers’ who leave it a few months before renewing. Records from the Motor Insurers’ Bureau and the Drivers and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) will be compared in order to catch offenders. But those who drive cars not registered in their name- ‘the motoring underclass’- will not be detected through this system and will only be caught if police pull them over. The tough new motoring rules will not take into account those who are away for a period of time or in hospital when their insurance renewal is due.
