There are so many things that call for thorough checking and asking around. The idea of just looking at the vehicle and a second before you know it you would have already clicked that button is long gone. But of course, there are exceptional circumstances of having had dealt with them before and experience also plays a key role. However, the most important thing that one has to do first thing first is to check the reliability of the car dealer that is offering that unit to you. Most of the people have lost huge sums of money due to lack of security precautions on their part. The existence of online car dealers has also created opportunities for fraudsters to take advantage of individuals who are unaware of certain procedures to swindle them of cash. 1. Background ResearchTherefore whenever you intend to buy a car online do some background research online and check whether a lot of people are actually buying from them, if they do then know that you are in good hands and your unit should safely reach your destination. The other issue that you can look at is the address of the company and banking details for the same. If someone is telling you to deposit funds into another company or individual account, the best you can do for yourself is to take off and abandon everything, as that is a clear indication of fraud. Most instances people who intend to swindle you of cash do not really want to disclose personal and physical address, as they fear of being traced and arrested. 2. Interior/exterior featuresApart from that the location and state of condition of the unit is also another area of concern. Always check the interior and exterior of the unit before you buy it, as that is very important. It’s not uncommon to see only one photo displayed on the unit with the rest of them not fully displayed. Always ask for more pictures if that is the case and thoroughly go through them to check if there are any dents, scratches on the exterior or damages to the interior. Some vehicles come without any radios, CD drive, speakers, spare tyre, fire extinguisher, etc., so be sure to check that out. 3. Vehicle SpecificationsThis is very much important in the sense that whenever you are about to purchase a unit always check out the specifications table as that can really tell you a lot about the unit that you are considering to buy. Buying a car just for the sake of owning one can really put you in unnecessary pressure as the specifications table clearly highlights certain things such as the engine capacity of the unit, engine number, chassis number, engine capacity, etc. These are very important as they are very much needed in car registration and also tell you something about the consumption rate of the vehicle. If your eyesight is really that good then you can also compare the actual photos of the engine with the chassis number, engine number on the specification table. 4. Condition of TyresThese are really necessary and as a safety precaution always get a unit that has neat and good tyres as that can really help you to save a bit considering the fact that you would have spent a lot when importing the same in your country. Good tyres should have enough grips and should not have cracks either on the sides or in between grip lines. 5. Suspension/springs of the unitThough it’s pretty hard to see how well the suspension and springs of the vehicles are, a good photo taken by a professional should be able to clearly show a third of these and at least highlight the state of condition of these. However, certain car dealers also do make mention of any certain replacements and changes that they might have carried out prior to being put up for sale. So do ask for some additional information on any changes to parts. Lastly, another thing that one can check out is the list of extra features that are always indicated on the main display for the unit. These can also be compared with the actual photos just to ensure that what is mentioned is also appearing in the photos. Basically the main reasons and points that I have put up should be able to help and guide but it must be stated here that whenever you are looking at a unit always ask whatever question that might pop up in your mind as at the end of it all the one who would get to drive the unit is yourself so feel free to ask any questions.
