1. Check the qualifications of the vehicle. The most important step to choose a car, to look at the relevant qualifications or procedures, such as vehicle registration certificate (or original invoice), driving license, vehicle purchase tax certificate, road maintenance procedures, traffic insurance, engine nameplate, transmission nameplate, frame number, vehicle nameplate, certificate of qualification.


Check whether the data is consistent, to see whether the vehicle belongs to the individual or the company, if the vehicle registration certificate, driving license is missing and not timely replacement, then the car may be "black car", if the compulsory insurance, vehicle road maintenance fee payment problem, the buyer will increase a large amount of expenditure. Additional attention should also be paid to the issuing time, which can infer the true year of the vehicle.


2. Check the three large parts of the vehicle. This is the focus of the selection of used cars, to look at the three large parts of the vehicle is not original, whether there is damage, to see whether the engine, transmission oil leakage, chassis girder deformation, girder of the same type of screws are not different and to judge whether maintenance. Don't bother, after all, to buy a used car costs a lot of money, if necessary can open the cab or climb under the frame to check.


3. Check the plate spring and rear axle of the vehicle. The rear axle and plate spring of the trailer are the key to the bearing capacity of the vehicle. You can check the number of plate spring and the wear degree of the upper and lower fixed positions of the plate spring to judge the previous use of the vehicle. For the vehicle rear axle, we should pay attention to check whether there are cracks or welding traces, you can use a ruler to measure the rear axle wheel pitch, in order to compare the vehicle registration certificate and certificate of qualification, to avoid the existence of vehicle modification, affecting the performance of parts.

It is worth noting that there are many rear axle parts, many of which can not be distinguished by the naked eye, but it has a great impact on the subsequent use, so it is still recommended that the owners of used cars try to replace the new rear axle. Now there are many trailer axle brands on the market, among which there are also reliable quality and relatively affordable prices, such as DARO trailer axle, which is very suitable for owners who do not have a high budget to choose.


4. Check the vehicle name and brand. The date of manufacture on the vehicle's nameplate can be checked against the frame number on the girders, or it can be determined by the tenth digit of the vehicle identification code.


5. Check windshield and vehicle production date. The last two digits on the code at the bottom of the windshield represent the date of manufacture. If this date is later than the date of manufacture of the vehicle, the windshield may have been replaced.


6. Check the body paint. In general, there will be more or less color difference in the car paint after repair, the level of sheet metal technology is different, and the smoothness of the paint will be different from the original factory. You can judge whether the vehicle has scratched or crashed by checking the front and rear bumpers, cab doors, front face masks, body paint, and so on. You can also see whether there are grinding marks in the headlights.


7. Check the cab. When looking at the car, remember to observe in detail whether there are welding marks inside and outside the cab, you can open the flexible packaging decoration, so that you can check more clearly. If the vehicle is damaged due to an accident and the cab needs to be cut and repaired, there will generally be welding traces. This late welding may lead to lax sealing, noise and other problems.


8. Strictly check the host screws. The screws used by different Ovaries are also different. They are generally printed with corresponding indications, and the original screws without disassembly will not rust. You can judge whether the parts have been disassembled through these two points.


9. Check vehicle sounds. For example, the door is open and closed whether there is abnormal sound, the engine sound is normal, knock a tire sound is qualified. Of course, this also requires a certain amount of experience, so when the new owner of a car, it is best to take a friend who understands the car together, or before buying a car to try the same model, the same brand of model or engine, and then do a comparison.


10. Check illegal records. Many used cars for sale on the market have unprocessed traffic violation records, once the purchase of such cars, consumers will be responsible for the former owner of the traffic violations, otherwise it is not able to transfer the vehicle ownership.


11, before buying a used car, we must make it clear what kind of car we want to buy, what kind of goods to transport, how much budget, a wide range of second-hand trailer market prices, types and other options, leading to a lot of owners who do not know what to buy to buy a car to the used car market, see so many different cars, do not know what to buy. Once this happens, the result is only to be led by the nose of the dealer, buy home only to find that it is not desirable.
