When buying a used car from a large dealer, you run the risk of purchasing a car with low mileage, especially if the car was delivered on consignment. Maxim Shelkov, head of the autocriminalist expert center, told socialbites.ca.
“Every car that comes to the official dealer is checked. However, if it is purchased and offered for sale by the dealer, it is controlled well and efficiently. When a car is brought in for shipment, many dealers do not perform in-depth diagnostics and act only as an intermediary during the sale,” said Shelkov.
If a car belonging to the brand in which the dealer specializes has low mileage, the risk of purchasing it is much less. The expert added that in this case, employees know the “sensitive points” of the car, there is special equipment for diagnostics, and it is easier to detect changes in mileage. He explained that on “non-core” cars, as a rule, only the body is checked for impacts, and electronic systems are diagnosed with a multi-brand scanner.
“If the dealer is a specialist, the car is the same brand and was purchased from the previous owner; This is a very safe option. But the risk still remains due to the human factor,” concluded Shelkov.
