7 Drives Multi Car Shop : Tips for Buying a Used Car

Buying a used car is a great way of cutting the cost of your driving as most new cars lose around 40% of their value in the first year. But there are many things to look for when purchasing a used car but one important factor is to give the car a physical check before making your final decision. There are so many things to consider that it can be a disconcerting experience. Here, 7 Drives Multi Car Shop giving you, a few general pointers on how to physically check out a used car before you buy it.

1. Make sure that the car is on level ground before checking it out. This is to ensure that you will be able to clearly check the tires and to see if there is anything sagging on the car.
2. Check the trunk of the car to make sure it is still in good condition. It should not show any sign of rust, or water entry due to cracks or holes. Wear inside of the trunk indicates usage of the car.
3. Check the tires. The tires should be worn evenly and they should match. Look at the surface of the tire for feathering (bad alignment). Bad alignment can be caused by worn steering/suspension components, the pothole down the street or frame damage. Also check the spare tire and compare the tread to the other tires if it is a full spare.
4. If you are able, try to get under the car when it is safely raised and inspect the exhaust system or any under-body rust. Look for any black spots on the exhaust system because this can indicate leaking. This is also a good time to inspect for frame or unibody damage.
5. Check under the hood of the car for any indication of dents, damage or rust.These can all be signs that the car was either poorly taken care of or damaged.
6. Inspect the engine for any sort of leaks, or corrosion. On the engine block, look for any dark brown oil stains, this will indicate that there is a leak in a gasket, and could possibly lead to an expensive repair in the future. Check the brake fluid, and reservoir to make sure its is not leaking.
7. Go inside the car. Check the seats and upholstery of the car for any tears, rips, stains, or other type of damage.
8. Check the odometer of the car for the mileage. This is important because the mileage indicates the car’s age. On the average, a normal driver will drive between 10,000 to 15,000 miles a year; however, this depends on many factors.
9. Verify the lights and all the regular functions of the car when not moving.This include: any sensors for parking, back parking camera, radio, CD, music installation, etc.
10. Test drive the car before making any final decisions. This is perhaps one of the best ways to know the condition of the car. Hence, a buyer should make all effort to do a test drive first before coming to any decisions.

7 Drives MultiCar Shop : Petrol car vs diesel car

 

1. Conventional wisdom says that petrol models tend to be faster, smoother and quieter than their diesel counterparts. However, diesel cars have become more refined, as car makers have developed ways to mask the trademark signs – to the point where you may even struggle to tell the difference in some upmarket models. Often, the visible give away is the rev counter, which will have a much lower rev limit than one for a petrol car.
2. Diesel engines also offer increased torque (pulling power) from low revs, which is especially useful when towing or overtaking.
3. Diesel cars are more efficient, and so use less fuel for a given mileage, potentially causing less damage to the environment (especially if fitted with a diesel particulate filter to trap the nasty soot-like emissions many associate with diesels).
