Features and Tips
- Make sure the car engages to start
There are times when you want to go see a car that has a “For Sale” sign hanging on it. You get there there and try starting the car. You cannot get it started so you leave because there is no need of trying to buy a used vehicle if you cannot even drive it.
- Window Tint
Some people will have tint installed on their windows for privacy and for protection from the sun’s UV rays. However, it may be an indicator that the owner has been involved in some illegal activity with law enforcement sending him or her straight to the tint shop before anything else can happen.
- Odometer
Always verify that the odometer shows the correct miles on it. For example, if you are looking at a car that has a lot mileage on it but is still in good condition. It may be an indicator that it was use for smuggling or used as part of a black market operation.
- Exhaust System
An exhaust system is worth checking out because after you are done driving the car, you can hear the exhaust it produces during to process of deceleration. If something seems like wrong with it, then chances are, there may be some issues with the engine and possibly other major parts of the car. Below is an example video compilation of what a worn-out exhaust system sounds like.
- Safety Features
Safety features are really important because they will help prevent you from getting in any accidents. The goal of this step is to look for safety features that are working properly. For example, air bags and seat belts should be checked to make sure the airbags deploy at the right time if there was an accident. Furthermore, if a seat belt does not go in all the way or is undone on a seat, it should be fixed before purchasing the vehicle. The reason for this is because it could lead to legal consequences if an accident were to occur when you drive with someone else in your car.
