Buying a used car in India has a lot of advantages over a new car, but it may have defects the seller hasn’t told you about.  Follow our quick ten point guide to avoid hicups later.

1. Buy the right used car for your needs

Besides budget you also need to consider safety, no. of pessengers, security, child lock, makes and models you like, fuel consumption versus performance, running/servicing costs, travel
distances, power for trailers or boats, parking, space etc.

2. Consider other “fringe” costs

Above the cost of the car bought from the seller, there is also stamp duty,
registration, transfer fee, and insurance.  Factor these costs in before you go
shopping for a used car that you can afford.

3. Do I buy it privately, from a dealer, online or at an auction?

Private – Advantages are that it is
generally cheaper as there are no overheads and you can meet and discuss the
history with the owner.

Disadvantages are that there is no warranty, no security of title, no legal
comeback, you may have extensive concealed damage or repair work ahead.
Dealer – Advantages are that if there is
money owing or is stolen, you have recourse against the dealer, you get a
warranty, you may be offered a trade in on you old car, you have a “cooling off”
period if you are obtaining finance to buy a used car from a company linked to
the dealer and the car is more likely to be in a road worthy condition before
being offered for sale.

Disadvantages are that dealers are often more expensive, you are likely to
get a poorer price as a trade in on your old car, and some dealers can be very
pushy.

Online – Advantages are that you don’t have
to travel, plenty of information is available on pricing, you sometimes get
colour photos of the used car, you can buy in most of big cities, and you
don’t have to negotiate face to face.

Disadvantages are you may not be able to see and test drive the vehicle,
particularly if you are buying interstate.

Auctions – Advantages are that they may be
cheaper and have a guarantee of title

Disadvantages are that it may be subject to an auction fee, may also have to
re-register the car and get a roadworthy certificate, there is no warranty,
can’t test drive.

4.  Take someone with you and get an inspection.

To helps strengthen your negotiations if you have someone experienced on your side, particularly if they know more
about cars than you do or preferably take along a mechanic or pay for an
inspection.  It usually saves you a lot of time and heartache and is well worth
the money.  A qualified person will identify poor repairs and rust, faulty
electrical wiring, exhaust, engine noises, tyres wheel and brake faults, car
interior linings, seat belts and window operation.

5.  Check the ownership

Check you must apply :

1. Registration Number if vehicle is registered
2. VIN or chassis number
3. Engine number

To ensure the accuracy of the vehicle
you should obtain the details from the vehicle and compare them with the details
on the registration papers.

The owner must provide you with a pink slip inspection report current for the
month.
6. Take it for a test drive

Take the car for a drive on a quiet road and listen for engine noise.  Does
it brake, steer and handle correctly?  Is the suspension ok?  Try a reverse
park, hill start and a 3 point turn. Brake hard once or twice on an isolated
section of the road at around 40 kph.  Did it handle correctly or veer to one
side? Dont forget to check engine oil before starting the Car.

7. Negotiate the best deal

Remember that while you still have the money in your pocket, you’re the
boss!  Do your homework well in detail before you set out to purchase a used car and know what
the average prices are. Offer a price slightly lower and refer to better deals you already have,  if this is correct.
If they don’t budge, mention the costs for repair and wait for them to talk.
Depending on how much you want the car, make a slightly higher offer or ask if
they could throw in something like new tyres for free.  If they still won’t
budge, walk away.  There are plenty of  other cars in the market and it is
likely there are better deals nearby.

8. Paying the money

Taking cash is a great way to negotiate however must take someone with your and inform your near and dears about it, dont get struck because you wanted to surprise them and get caught in surprise yourself as you may be duped by some false seller so ensure use comman sense before carrying money.  It may also be a security risk, so if you are unsure, pay by a bank cheque. If you can’t raise the money from your own reserves, shop around for the best finance deal online.  A good resource for borrowing  money at the best rate is get a receipt from the seller with a statement that the vehicle is unencumbered  by any loans or finance.  Talk to your accountant about the best way to purchase the vehicle if it is to be used for your business.  They may advise you that a  mortgage is often the best way to borrow for this purpose, depending on your circumstances.

9.  Transfer the registration

Once the sale has been agreed on, the registration must be transferred to the
new owner.  Make sure the seller gives you the pink slip and completes the
disposal notice, then take them to the R.T.A. and pay for the transfer.
Instructions on how to do this are on the reverse of the registration
papers.

10.  Before you drive away

Make sure you get all the keys for
the car (ignition keys with transformers are expensive to duplicate). Get the
service book, owner’s manual and log book.
If there’s an alarm, find out how
to de-activate it. Is there a hidden ignition switch?  Ask the owner or dealer
if there is anything to know about your new used car.  You may be pleasantly or
unpleasantly surprised!
