Your desire to buy a car with small mileage is justified. Are frown-up children looking at “adult toys”? Or you’re just tired very much to go public transport and want for communication, you have no enough money for it. Then buy of the second-hand car will be a good decision for you!

However, sometimes I am just amazed by naiveté of some buyers.

Error № 1. Belief in a beautiful fairy tale.

Can you imagine Golf of 1988 with mileage 88 thousand? And people are not easy to be bought on this ridiculous figure for the rarity, but also do not want to recognize a fraction, when everything becomes clear! Please note that the average German car is going for a year somewhere around 13000, and the German autobahns have even roads. Then they can simply run over all 80000 per year!

Error № 2. Do not trust fully to anyone.

Do not make much difference between the resellers and specialized automotive store – they are all equally good, when they come in pursuit of profits and struggling for the client. Let’s close our eyes to the fact that all machines of various types have the different ranges of the same age. Forget for a while about this. This is especially true of those who decided to buy second-hand car for the first time. Remember these magic numbers: 13000. If the downward deviation would look too large, this is a serious reason to think of buying in the given place.

So how can you buy a second-hand car and not to make a mistake? For each case we cannot say for sure, everything is individual and depends on your priorities and opportunities, but we can name the objective several tips.

Tips:

1) Pay attention to the wheel. If it is smooth and worn, it would mean that the hands were applied to it many times. It is not trifles what may seem:

- State of the cabin;

- Matte finish of headlamps (from gravel impact) suggests long-term operation;

- Worn rubber on the pedals means the frequent use;

- Traces are often left from the operation of wipers on the windows;

2) Check the stamp or press: product labeling gives the smallest age.

3) By VIN-number you can set the place of manufacture, the model and time of issue.

4) Scammers and charlatans manipulate simply masterfully by mechanical tachometers with a screwdriver, and sometimes, just put the car “to rewind”, but in the first case, often evidences of tampering are visible to the naked eye.

5) If the service book is saved, check its notes. Its absence is another sign of a fake state of the speedometer, but you cannot trust even to books.
