Where Do You Live?

A warning has been issued by Top Gear, the award winning BBC television show, to all those who are considering buying a used car in the UK. The shows presenters went undercover and had no problem finding dodgy motors for sale. It has been noted that in recent years the number of consumer complaints from people buying used cars has risen quite high. So this should all server to warn used car buyers of the need to take care when buying a second hand car. The following are some of the ways that you can avoid ending up with a dodgy used vehicle.

 

- You have to make sure that there is no evidence of tampering with the documentation of the car. It is a good idea to have a look at what proper vehicle identification should like and that way you can make a comparison.

 

- Take down the VIN (vehicle identification number) to make sure that it has not been reported as stolen. Whether a car has been stolen or not is something that you can do online these days. It is not enough to just take the VIN number from the paperwork; you also need to check it on the car too so that you can be sure it has not been altered.

 

- Check the car to see if there are any signs of repair such as paint touch ups etc. It would make sense for you to walk away from a sale if you find that there are signs of an accident but the seller insists there was never one.

 

- If the car looks worn but the odometer says that the car has only travelled a reasonable amount then be suspicious.

 

- It is not a good idea to buy a car from anyone that you cannot verify; make sure the person is who they say they are. It is perfectly acceptable that you ask to see some type of identification. In case anything goes wrong with the car after you have bought it, you have to know where you can get in touch with the seller so make sure you only view a car at the sellers home or place of work.
