Before buying a used car, it is important to have it thoroughly checked at a car repair shop. In this respect reports public news service citing automobile expert Vladimir Sazhin.
“It’s okay if the car is damaged, the main thing is to check how it was repaired and under what conditions it was used. Or they fixed the dent on his knee, put some putty on it and painted it with a roller, and that’s one thing. And if the wing is replaced with a new one and painted in a special room, then it is worth buying such a car,” explained the auto expert.
According to Sazhin, the service center needs to check the body geometry and engine compression. If problems are found, it is better to refuse the purchase.
You should also pay attention to the engine compartment when inspecting a used car. If the engine has been washed recently, most likely the seller wants to hide traces of oil leakage from under the gaskets. The expert warned that replacing these parts could be very expensive.
