Tips For Buying Used Cars In India

Things To Look For When Purchasing A Used Car In India

●       Understand The Used Car’s History: Try to learn more about the used car’s history, including its age, the reason for it being sold, and any accidents that may have occurred.

●       Check The Car’s Engine: Any car’s engine is its most crucial component. Verify the engine visually for leaks, cracked hoses, corrosion, and a worn belt. Check for discolouration in the transmission fluid and oil as well.

●       Check For Rust Or Paint Deterioration: Consider twice before buying if the car has significant rust patches. You can overlook minor flaws if you are getting a good deal.

●       Check Miles Of Run: You should be aware of the used car’s mileage about its age. It will make determining or assessing how much the car’s parts have worn out more accessible.

●       Check Condition Of Tyres: Uneven tires can impact a vehicle’s alignment. A poorly aligned car will pull to the right or left, so ensure all four wheels are aligned perfectly.

●       Check The Electronic Devices: The air conditioner, electronic display, and music system should work well. Test them out to see if they are still in working order.

●       Check The Car’s Paperwork: You should check several crucial documents, including the following:

• Look for the car’s registration copy and ensure the information listed corresponds to the vehicle. Remember that if the engine and chassis numbers need to be corrected, it will complicate your claim process
• To confirm that the used car you’re purchasing should be free of any outstanding loans, look for Forms 32 and 35, available at the RTO
• Obtain the No-Objection-Certificate if the previous owner used the financing to buy the vehicle
• The vehicle must have bi-fuel certification if it has LPG/CNG fittings.
• Certificate of Pollution-Under-Control (PUC)
• The insurance policy is critical to look for after you have examined the car. You should check with the car’s owner to see if he has insurance. It will highlight some essential details for you, such as:

a.  The car must have received adequate maintenance from the owner. A responsible person will undoubtedly purchase car insurance.

b.  If the policy for the used car is still in effect, you must transfer the insurance policy to your name.

Car insurance should be acquired if you want to prevent any legal problems where your car might be involved in an accident. You are shielded from potential financial obligations by the car insurance cover. It offers the highest level of protection, protecting both the car and any injured third parties. In India, owner-driver personal accident insurance and a third-party liability policy are required. Imagine learning that the used car you are purchasing already has a motor insurance policy. *
