Your dream of owning a second hand car is just a few steps away.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Initial Research<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Perhaps, the most difficult decisions while thinking of buying a used car is deciding what model or make you actually want.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Analyse your needs properly and determine which type of car you actually need for your daily life like a compact, a sedan, SUV or MPV, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Find out a source which seems to be the most reliable for buying a used car: online, local 2<sup>nd<\/sup> hand dealers or certified sellers of used cars.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Figure out how to get your potential car financed. Most local dealers will insist on a cash or cheque\/ demand draft payment upfront. Certified used-car dealers on the other hand, have several tie-ups with banks that can easily help you get a loan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Things to Keep in Mind<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Look at the car\u2019s history and its service and ownership records.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Avoid any cars that have had multiple owners since a frequent change-of-hands might mean there is some underlying issue with the vehicle which prompted each owner to sell it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Avoid any cars which have had very big insurance claims in their name, they might be an accident prone vehicle or a car that was destroyed in floods or torrential rains.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Look for the most unpopular cars since their resale value is very less.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Avoid cars which have been discontinued since procuring spare parts or aftersales support for such cars will be very tough.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Observing the car in broad daylight, check out its exterior finish and try to spot any signs of damage or repainted parts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Take the car for a test drive in order to judge the condition it is in. Any rattles and noises will possibly show that it has been put through very rough usage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Checking its sales invoice, insurance, clearance and vehicle registration papers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Beware of a tampered odometer. Tally its reading with past service recordsto find out if it was tampered out or not.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Finalizing the Deal<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Don\u2019t forget to bargain!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Insist on a duplicate key and make sure the previous owner doesn&#8217;t possess any other set of keys to the car.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Make sure to transfer the insurance in \u2018your name\u2019 to avoid any legal issues in case of any theft or accident of the vehicle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finding such a deal can turn out to be a tough especially if you\u2019re not careful. You might end up regretting the decision. Following these simple rules will surely land you a great deal on the car you always wanted to own.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once you buy a used car, you will surely need to remove the old and worn out spare parts in it.
