What We Need to Consider While Buying a Used Car in Singapore?

Every person thinks about how to buy a four-wheeled car. But most of us cannot immediately buy a new car, so we choose a second-hand car.

A huge number of people when buying a car gives preference to the secondary market and buys used cars. With the advent of various payment systems such as credit and installments, more and more people began to buy cars. 

But what need to consider while purchasing a used car instead of a new one? Let’s have a look at the following points to buy a used car.
Ask for Documents
When buying a used car, first ask for documents to show to make sure everything is in order. Then carefully check the numbers of the body and the engine.

Make sure that the numbers are clearly visible and there is no deformation near the numbers. Stock up on a rag if the number on the engine will be covered in dirt. In addition, check the year of the manufacture of the car.

Filter Cars by Price
Very often, people who buy their first car in the secondary market, incorrectly assess the market situation and focus on cars, the price of which is clearly undervalued. So, making the purchase, indulge yourself with various options and prices. After this, compare the prices and find which one is suitable according to your budget.

It is also worth properly assess the budget, because you buy a supported car, and most likely it will require certain cash investments. Accordingly, you should allocate 80-85% of the budget for the purchase of the car itself, the rest should be spent on possible repairs, design and insurance.

Mileage

The mileage of the car is a very interesting parameter. You need to focus on indirect indicators of the real mileage of the car. For this, pay attention to the general condition of the cabin, on the door seals, on the steering wheels, the pedals, and the gearshift lever.

Mileage dictates the price of the chassis, and age is responsible for the body. The less you find the scuffs, chips, scratches, the more will be the mileage of the car.
Make Inspection
When inspecting the body of the Second Hand Cars, pay attention to its geometry, uniformity and width of the gap between body parts. Ask to open the hood and pay attention to whether there are any smudges in the engine compartment and the condition of the electrical wiring.

Pay special attention to high-voltage wires. Make sure the engine is working quietly. Take a test drive of the care for a couple of kilometres.

If the suspension is knocking, then immediately abandon the purchase. Check also all the buttons on the dashboard are working properly. You can check the condition of the paintwork material with a magnet.

• Brake pad wear must be uniform on all sides. Test the system both on the slope and on the rise.
• When switching speeds, there should not be any extraneous sounds in the box, since this is the first symptom of a malfunction.
• Remember that a normal engine starts up without problems in the heat and cold. Engine operation should be smooth, without failures, as the latter indicates a malfunction of the ignition system.
• Pay special attention should be paid to the condition of the wings, sills, wheel arches and directly to the bottom of the car.
• Check the rusty sills or rust on a relatively new and visually attractive car.
