When buying used cars in Adelaide you need to look out for a few things. Buying a used car can be a risk but if you do your due diligence and research then you are much less likely to buy a "lemon".
Here is what you should look out for when buying a used car in Adelaide or anywhere else:
Check the VIN number of the car - this will tell you if the car is stolen or not. It can also reveal past major accidents.
Check Engine Oil - This is very important as a car with bad oil likely has not been looked after. If the oil is thick, gluggy or dirty then you are best off not buying that car as the engine will likely be in bad condition too.
Use Your Ears - The sound of a car can reveal many problems. If the car sounds like its stuttering or jumping then this may indicate serious problems. You are best off having a mechanic look it over if you are unsure.
Check the Body - Check the engine bay, engine mounts and front and rear areas for past accident damage. Often a repaired car will not be perfectly aligned around the head and tail lights. If this is the case then the car may have structural damage from a previous accident.
Some 2nd hand car dealers Adelaide and elsewhere attempt to sell cars which were previously written off or badly damaged. You should research a potential car yard before buying from there and wherever possible, hire a mechanic or knowledgeable person to overlook the car you intend to purchase. This can save you many thousands of dollars in future expenses.
