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.

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.

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!

• No noise when switching take place
• Check the breaks properly,

A strange tip - Buy in good weather!
