Your rights when buying a used car

There are many reasons to buy a new car for example change in your living style or because of technical innovation or changing the preferences, whatever the reason is, the following tips on buying a car can save the buyer from financial loss. If you make a wrong decision here, you will soon have to start looking for a new car.

What influence has the loss in value of buying a car?
A very important aspect of buying a car is the future loss of value of the vehicle. Especially if you do not already have a particular model of a particular brand in mind, this topic is extremely important to you. Each vehicle loses substantial residual value following the purchase. New cars lose an average of 25% of their original value from their first year license. On the other hand, with each passing year, the value of the car also falls, because this is about 5 to 6 percent per year. This makes the purchase of a new car initially very unattractive. A used car has a much more stable residual value than a brand new vehicle.

Include an Expert!
Many providers on the Internet advertise with slogans such as "buy online car" or "buy cars to 500 Dollars". These offers sound promising and even include top brands such as Ford or Toyota. But often hide behind it nasty surprises.
If you are looking for a car at an attractive price or do you want to sell a car? Then Sell My Car Dubai is the excellent choice with extensive services that will save you a lot of worries, if you want to sell your old car or buy a used one.

The test drive is indispensable!
How well can it speed up? Does it have a loud engine noise? Is there a good radio reception? How big is the turning circle? These and other questions can best be answered during a test drive. One of the indispensable tips for buying a car is therefore: Make a test drive!

Make sure that
• The car starts without inconvenience,
• All pedals are working properly,
• No noise when switching take place
• Check the breaks properly,
• The steering wheel can be easily controlled and
• The specified maximum speed is reached.

What else should you pay attention to:
• Service booklet: Was the car regularly serviced?
• Has the car been declared as an accident vehicle?
• How many previous owners are there?
• When does the car have to go to the next HU?

Important criteria for buying a car:
• Scratches, dents, bumps
• Clean car battery
• Oil and rust traces
• Fuel consumption / fuel type
• Stainless body
• Porous rubbers on windows and doors
• Moisture under the floor mats / trunk
• Uniformly worn car tires
• Intact seals and hoses in the engine compartment
• Oil and foam traces in the radiator water

A strange tip - Buy in good weather!
In the rain, paint defects are difficult to observe. Is there a bump to notice or just the light falls unhappily on the rainy car? In addition, the buyer takes more time for the review and the test drive in fair weather. In the rain, only the windscreen wiper can be better checked.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
