If you want to buy a used car cheap

Before going on the market, you must prepare carefully for this important event. You will need a small set of things that will help in choosing a car: a notepad with pen, mirror, a screwdriver, a magnet with a sheet of heavy paper (not cardboard), clean rags and tape with good quality recording. For what it’s all necessary, you’ll soon understand. Do not forget to take care of your money as the market, unfortunately, there are cases of theft and fraud. And not bad, if you will be accompanied by a friend, even if it is not too good with cars.Several times, beating up and down all the series with cars, you finally find what you were looking for. Now is your task thoroughly check the car, then not breed at a loss with his hands in front of his “lifeless” acquisition.

You can immediately cool the ardor pontificating seller, who, upon seeing your interest in the car, probably babbled so that you will be hard to insert the word.

- First ask them to show documents on the car to make sure that everything is in order. Then, you must carefully verify the VIN and engine in the registration certificate to those directly in the above units. At the same time make sure that the numbers do not raise doubts as to its compliance, clearly visible, and near the numbers have not shown any deformations. If the number on the engine covered with mud, and the seller is not anything suitable for its removal, you captured with a handy rag.

- After the procedure of checking numbers, you can begin to inspect the body. If a day visiting the market there are sunny weather, consider yourself lucky, because in this case, the vehicle body is clearly visible light and shadow, which is present in areas affected deformation after impact and unsuccessfully camouflaged. Great attention should be paid to the study of gaps between body parts. Unequal gaps indicate the deformation of the legs or the body as a whole, which is the result of the accident. From buying a car is strongly recommended to refuse. Should also take turns to try to open and close every door. Naturally, when performing this procedure, you should not make any effort. If the manipulation of the door or the door is heard screeching is difficult, it is a possible consequence of the accident. The above fully applies to the hood, and trunk lid.

- In addition, you must install, painted a car, and if so, for what reason. On your question the seller will say that, say, paint the sun burnt out, here and decided to upgrade. Maybe so, but in this case should be guided by the adage “trust but verify”. Traces of repainting the body is easy to install. Even if the quality of paint coating ideal for the sake of conscience, you can just bend seal windshield or rear window. If underneath the same paint as on the body, so it is really a native or a car painted with the complete disassembly of the body, and it is already talking about the professional approach that guarantees good quality.

- Much attention should be paid as wings, sills, wheel arches and the bottom of the car directly. After seeing once again the whole body, check for yourself the most suspicious place, where, in your opinion, might be hiding pockets of corrosion. Next to these areas should be made through the paper captured with a magnet. If the place of its attachment to the metal does not rust, it will stick firmly to the body of fact that when the corrosion process is under the paint, they accumulate air bubbles that will interfere with the magnet to gain a foothold on the metal.

- With regard to thresholds and the edges of the wheel arches, you should not be carried away at the sight of the fact that they are abundantly covered with a thick layer of anticorrosion. For it may be hiding a very ugly picture. Therefore, all these places need to tap a screwdriver to ensure the presence of these “live” metal. Similarly, you should check the bottom, but it will have to go on the flyover. In extreme cases, in assessing the state of the bottom of the mirror to help you. And believe me, this apparent red tape is spent on her time.

- After viewing the body, begin to study interior, which also can tell a lot about the car. On the intensive exploitation of his talk worn seat covers, carpets, worn in several places to the ground, dusty dashboard.

! Be sure to pay attention to the steering wheel, especially if it is a decorative cover, because there are cases when such a way trying to strengthen a broken rim “bagels”. What is fraught during movement, one can imagine.

! This is followed it checked all the keys, levers and switches located in the cabin, because now even a minor repair of electrical equipment costs money and pay extra for it after buying the machine, at least, unwise.

! It is also worth a look and under rugs in the cabin, because under them very often accumulate moisture, contributing to the severe corrosion centers. Must know that such places in the future, even on a relatively new car will require a thorough anti-corrosive treatment.

- Now it is time to initiate testing of steel “heart” vending your cheap car. Remember that a normal engine start up without problems and in the heat, and cold. Running the engine should be smooth, without interruption, since the latter indicates a malfunction of the ignition system. If you are working “engine” from the exhaust pipe is blue smoke, this indicates the out-of order gaskets valves (maslosemnye caps), and at worst – on the wear of piston oil rings, which are no longer able to collect “extra” oil from the cylinder wall . As a result, it simply burns, forming clubs of bluish smoke emitted into the exhaust pipe. Be sure to inquire the quality of oil, which flooded the engine. To do this probe to get a little oil and make sure that it contains no impurities and has a standard for this type of technical fluid color. If there is sediment schupe beige, reminiscent of mayonnaise, then most likely affected by the failure of the cylinder head gasket. Operation of the car with such a defect could lead to sad consequences.

- It is necessary to inspect the engine for external leaks, which are often the perpetrators of the crankshaft oil seals, oil pump. Naturally, in order to on the engine had the full experience, be sure to get here by car.

- Transmission shall make no banging and crackling with the direct gear changes. To fully test the PPC must, of course, go on the road. You therefore may have differences with the seller, but it started to malfunction and then note in such a complex aggregate of his car much more unpleasant. There are many cases where sellers 4-speed manual gearbox issue for a 5-speed, changing only “knob” lever and at the same time hoping that when going on delivering not what the fifth and fourth, and are not included.

- If your choice has fallen on a car with automatic transmission, you should know that in normal operation mode “automatic” switching occurs without jerks and extraneous noise.

- Many potential car owners do not attach much importance as the suspension, considering it a minor fact. This is a big mistake, because the efficiency of the suspension depends safety car.

The first step is to check the condition of shock absorbers. To do this a few times to swing at a time every corner of the body. If the car is not rocking with significant amplitude, as is the original state once, then shock absorbers have not yet lost its efficiency. Full of their diagnosis, unfortunately, is possible only on a special stand.

Status of ball bearings, bearings, hubs, constant velocity joints (in front-drive car) complete picture can be obtained only when moving. The distinct sound of pits on the interpretation of faulty ball bearings (hinges). Bearings, hubs, requiring replacement, posing a distinct hum that appears only at a certain speed range. Clicks or pohrustyvanie turns and moving from place indicate the need to replace the constant velocity joints (constant velocity joints). If the vehicle is moving is heard metal clanging in the cardan likely to blame the crossbar propeller shaft.

- And the last advice – all the faults that you find in the car, write in a notebook. Present this list to the seller, you can significantly reduce the price of the car .So think twice before your are going to buy car cheap .
