If you’re an existing car owner, chances are you’d agree that buying a new or used car can be an overwhelming experience, whether good or bad. Of course, there are plenty of things to keep in consideration when buying a car, especially if you’re a first time buyer. So before you go ahead and apply for car finance and drive off into the sunset with the windows rolled down, you’d need to weigh the pros and cons first, and then decide whether it would be worth purchasing or whether you need to be patient and continue with car-hunting until you find that beauty that stands out from the crowd. You need to be certain that the car you’re interested in buying meets the necessary criteria as well as suits your lifestyle. Let’s be honest, a car should be just as appealing as it should be in a running, working condition. A small dent and a few scratches shouldn't have to be a deal breaker, and if anything, pointing them out might just convince the seller to lower the purchase price a bit. Though take mental notes when inspecting the car, and try not to let the excitement overwhelm your judgement. Is there any visible rust, erosion or extensive damage on the body of the car? Is the paint fading or are there any broken lights? If you've answered yes to any of these, chances are you might be purchasing a fixer-upper rather than a go-go-getter type of car, which means you could be spending way more fixing it than what it's worth. If you're not familliar with car engines, it's advisable to bring along a friend or family member that can assist in asking the right questions and doing the necessary inspections for you. Above all, ask as many questions about the car as possible! And if need be, at the risk of raising some eyebrows, maintain an uninformed facial expression, so as to usher the seller in explaining as much details about the car as possible. The list could be much longer, depending on what your needs and preferences are, but these are a few key factors to keep in mind when inspecting the used car. And once again, ask questions if you're not entirely sure about something. Probably the most important part, and the final deciding factor in purchasing the pre-owned car, would be the test drive. So go ahead, turn the ignition and start that beauty! Now because this would be the first time driving this particular pre-owned car, you'd firstly need to get used to the acceleration, so be careful and vigilant when taking it for a test drive. During the test drive, pay special attention to the smoothness of acceleration, handling of the vehicle, clutch control and dashboard guages. Test driving the car should be a pleasure, with little to no exceptions. Take your time when test driving the used car and try to test the most vital functionalities such as the windscreen wipers, indicators, power steering, brakes and gear switching. The seller will in almost all cases be present during the test drive, so he or she should be able to answer any questions you might have regarding the car. If you're buying a pre-owned car from a used car dealership, it would be in your best interest to ask about an extended motor warranty or service plan if there aren't any in place aready. It's always good to know that services on your car won't cost you a small fortune. Never take risks when buying a used car, unless you're entirely happy with what you're purchasing. Even if it means that you request the car go through a multi-point check so as to ensure the car is in a good, working condition. Back in the day, buying a pre-owned car used to be a risk if you weren't educated enough to know what to look for before purchasing the car, and so the risk margins were much higher.
