Used cars need to pay attention to many places, but they don't cost much. It depends on the condition of the car, so as not to increase the maintenance cost in the future ~ so I will say a few more words on the basis of the score you gave 100 ~ Don't forget to add a point: 1 must be a basic inspection.

-Contact the car buyer, agree on the time and place to see the car, and always check the car and trade at the residence registered in the seller's driver's license and license application. It's best to be near expressway, so as to test drive on expressway. Clearly tell each other the documents they need to bring? Driver's license, car registration certificate and insurance policy. This car must be seen on a sunny day. Take your driver's license, car advertisements, records or tapes with you when you look at the car. If a friend is willing to help, let's go and have a look.

-Insist that the seller must provide identification (such as driver's license) and car license. Check whether the registered names on the two are the same, and write down the information for future verification.

(1) Look at each other's driver's license carefully to see if they sell cars.

(2) See if the name on the car registration form is the name of the seller.

(3) See if the description of the car on the registration form is the car to be sold. It also depends on whether the registration has expired.

If these three points are all right, we can avoid the car from being stolen. Copy four pieces of information from the registration form: car registration number, vehicle identification number or chassis number and engine number. The vehicle identification number (VIN) is printed on the conformity plate, which is attached to the partition between the engine and the passenger compartment. (Its location is usually listed in the user manual. )

Ensure that the owner's name, license plate, vehicle identification number, engine number and other details match the information on the VicRoads registration certificate. Check the number yourself, instead of relying on the information on the previous owner or registration label. If any information does not match, the car may be stolen. It is important to remember that the name on the registration certificate is not necessarily the owner's name. Also remember that the VicRoads register is not a register of ownership. )

Check the inside and outside of the car carefully, according to the instructions in the advertisement, light the engine, try on all the seat belts, listen to the player, roll all the windows, fiddle with all the seats, light all the lights and honk the horn. If everything is satisfactory, go on. If you don't want to give up something advertised, you have bargaining capital.

Ensure that the documentation of the car is consistent with the information in the mileage traveled, the owner's manual or receipt and the service history section of the vehicle logbook. It's a good idea to call a service center or a repair shop to verify the car's records.

Test drive. Before driving, show your driver's license to show your driving qualification. Definitely want to go to expressway with a speed limit of not less than 90. After starting, for outsiders, it is mainly to listen to the sound and wind of the engine and feel whether the car is running smoothly and whether the water temperature is too high. There is no problem with the test drive. It's time to bargain.

-You can contact the transportation unit to make sure that the car is not stolen and the license plate is registered correctly. Supplier? Real registrant.

(1) It is your responsibility to check that it has not been stolen and there is no debt. Please call1311to contact the Vehicle Securities Registry (VSR) (8.30am to 5.00pm from Monday to Fri and 8.30am to 2.00pm from Saturday). They can call you for free, or issue a certificate of registered interest (currently about $8).

(2) You should also use the registration number and vehicle identification by calling VicRoads at13171or 1800 8 14 762 (when calling from int erstate) or on the VicRoads website. In this way, you can know whether the car has suffered any major damage that may affect its future performance.

Do you need to check again within 24 hours before payment? 10 yuan? Books. This? The function of the book is that if the website provides you with wrong information to buy a car, you are not responsible for paying the unpaid car money.

Even after these inspections, you should pay more attention to whether this car belongs to others. That's right.

2. Negotiate transactions

Draw up a reasonable price first, and then offer a lower price. If the seller agrees to this price or is close to it, the deal is done. If not, keep looking elsewhere.

The golden rule? Don't let the seller know whether you really want to buy this car or whether you will buy it from other sellers. There is still room for price reduction before the real deal is made.

Look around, shop around, let one car dealer or seller give you a price, and then use this price to let another car dealer or seller give you a lower price.

Ask the seller to give it to you when comparing prices? On road price? If it is a trade-in, do you need to change the price? . The price shall include all accessories, additional conditions, taxes and transaction costs. In order to avoid a lot of things that I didn't notice before? Invisible? Cost.

Let the car dealers or sellers bid first, and then ask for a price reduction with the prices given by other car dealers or sellers.

Don't worry, if other buyers put you? Only this life? Buy your dream car, and you will soon find another car that suits you.

Pay a deposit

If the seller asks for a down payment, isn't there a down payment required by law? How much, so the lower the payment, the better. At the same time, make sure that you can get your deposit back if the car fails the inspection.

The seller may be required to include the following clauses in the contract:

This agreement is subject to the inspection report obtained by the buyer from (your inspection company). If the reported vehicle condition is not satisfactory to the buyer, he/she may terminate the contract and the deposit paid shall be returned to the buyer in full. ? If the buyer is not satisfied with the inspection results, the buyer has the right to terminate the contract and get back the deposit. )

Road qualification certificate

If the car is registered, the seller needs to provide you with a valid road certificate. The road qualification certificate is a general safety check conducted by the driver's license examiner. It is valid for 30 days from the date of issuance. Never agree to get a certificate suitable for driving on the road, because the car may have hidden problems and it may be expensive to repair.

4. Transfer of license registration

When a car. When the ownership changes hands, the vehicle license registration must also be transferred from the seller to the buyer. It is the buyer's responsibility to determine whether the procedure is carried out in accordance with the regulations, but the seller is also requested to pay more attention. Write a receipt by yourself or the owner, and write down the buyer's name, purchase date, purchase amount, vehicle VIN number and seller's driver's license number. Sign by both parties. This is the only evidence that this car belongs to you. The seller signs the back of the car registration form and fills it out as soon as possible? Vehicle registration and transfer form? Give it to the buyer and the transportation unit, and ask the transportation unit to give a copy of the authorization seal.

When you buy or obtain a registered vehicle, you need to transfer the registration to your name within 14 days and submit relevant documents to VicRoads. Generally, you need to provide the following information to VicRoads:

(1) Complete copy of vehicle registration transfer form

(2) Road certificate

(3) Pay transfer fee and motor vehicle tax (except tax exemption)

It is best to call Vic Roads131171six weeks after buying the car to verify the transfer.

5. Matters needing attention after the transaction

When you buy a used car, you'd better change all the oil-engine, transmission, main reducer, brake oil, etc. And engine coolant. Sometimes the oil may not be changed for a long time.

Check whether the car has a timing belt. When was the last time it was replaced? What time? Usually, the timing belt is time-limited, and it should be replaced regularly according to the times recommended by the manufacturer.

After the transfer is completed, the car is ours. At this time, you have to buy insurance.

1) Call the insurance company in advance to make an inquiry and compare the prices.

(1) Relatives and friends can surf the Internet, enter relevant web pages, fill in specific car information and driver information, and then they can check the quotations of various insurance companies.

(2) You can also call the insurance company for direct consultation. Of course, you should also prepare the information of the car and driver in advance. If you are worried that your English is not good enough and you can't fully understand the questions asked by the staff on the phone, first look at these questions online and write them down, and you will know fairly well. When the staff asks you questions, you can answer them, basically not to mention pardon ~
