Keep your eyes open when buying a used car
My girlfriend needed a new car. Unfortunately, no money for a new car, but a good used one should come from. So we moved from one dealer to another and got great offers.
Car 8 years old, driven 23,000 km, at a good price. Anyway, we thought. Then we looked at the so-called checkbook of the car, there was something of an inspection of 50,000 km. We moved on frightened.
At another dealer we were told that about 30% of the used vehicles have a manipulated speedometer. So now we pay attention to the check book of the car, also on oil flags, which are sometimes mounted under the hood, and there, if available, read off the kilometer stand.
It is also revealing when the seats are abgeschubbert and tapped the steering wheel. Then it can not be a cheap used vehicle, which is driven only a few miles. Because of city car.
At a dealer of our trust, my girlfriend then got her new car, cheap and really without 50,000 km on the clock and in the book.
So: keep your eyes open when buying used cars.
