How To Avoid Making Stupid Mistakes When Buying A Used Car.
When people make the biggest mistakes when buying a used cars, buying on the same day, finding the cheapest vehicle possible out there, looking anything over ten years old and expecting miracles. Most of them are junk. Sports service history, lack of maintenance, et cetera, et cetera. Buying SUVs for the price of Toyota, I go don't expect miracle you're going to make a bad mistake. Don't blame the seller, it's you. 00:26 You should understand anything over ten years old falling a bit. There can be some underlying issues. If you're talking about just maintenance, could be loads of corrosion, et cetera, suspension issues, drivability issues. So technically you really need to check what you're buying. If you don't or if you do buy something is not right, just don't buy it. 00:45 Don't get addicted. If you feel and drive something's not right and clutch is not right, something is not right, don't buy it. Don't get caught into the seller will fix it and you're going to buy, just don't buy it. Especially buying old car. Don't talk about expensive and luxury cars issues. 01:02 But most of the things are ordinary people making stupid judgments because they too excited or they too desperate. Just learn how to walk away. If it looks junk, it is junk. Walk away. Not sure, get it checked, otherwise it will bite you in the ass. 01:23 And if you're going to start rejecting a vehicle, that will be biggest, most miserable process you ever experience. If you're buying from places like similar like AAAP used cars or RSC approved used cars, those are just margin schemes for those companies just to earn the money. That's nothing to do with guarantee, it's a seller's ethics. Most of those people who are on those sites, they predominantly in my opinion are buying leftovers, leftovers random auction things, which issues potential repairs done to the vehicle. Some major repairs done or something went wrong. 02:09 They go into the auction, they have small port cabins, et cetera. And not all of them buying and researching their cars, they just buy it forever. They can get their hands on because it's tough. All of the supermarkets, they get in the most best stock for them, et cetera. And they can't even get good stock. 02:28 They can't. And you're just buying simple auction leftovers, cheap auction leftover, maintenance standards, maintenance standard issues. Because remember, people who want to sell the who selling the vehicle, they're normally selling the vehicle because they have issues, not because they want to upgrade. It's rare when people simply want to upgrade. They want to buy a car. 02:48 Most of them drive, most of the population just drive until it falls in a bit. You should understand that and make sure you research reputable seller who have access to good used cars and they select what they're buying because they don't want problems. And that's not majority. Those people are rare. So be careful from who you buy. 00:03:14 Don't just assume they have Aorac branding on. It doesn't mean anything. Those companies, not just them, there's probably many more, right? I'm just saying they making money on those sellers because they're allowing them to list their vehicles on their website. They're making money. 00:03:31 You'll get a free breakdown, repair cover. They sell in extended warranties to you. So it's conflict of interest. Those cars not checked. It's basically just a scheme. 00:03:44 And you trust on that. If you trust, you'll cry later. Check what you buy. Don't just assume, don't sell us, vote for it. Every used car is different. And less is mileage. Less mileage as possible and less owners as possible. Keepers. Stay safe.
