So, if you want to buy a used car in Nepal, you should not miss the points mentioned below.
After you see your desired car on the internet immediately talking to the seller may not favor you much. Before you reach out to the seller, ensure that you have enough knowledge of the used car you want to buy.
If there is someone in your friend and family circle who has good information about cars, you can take suggestions from them.
Also, you may join forums. There are Nepal-based forums for a used car on which you can get information. So, you can join the forum and make queries.
This can be a great help. You can get to know detailed process about buying a car and can also know information about the car you want to buy.
As there are many online platforms that allow you to trade used cars in Nepal, you can make the price comparison of the car through that online platform, just to understand the market value of the car.
If you get lucky, you could find the desired model of car on more than one page. And if this happened to you, you can compare the price with the condition of the used car then start buying process.
Sometimes you can find many options in a car under your budget. Besides the car you want, you also get to choose other options for the car. So, do proper research so that you can get clarity about the price.
If you found a good model used car at a low price, it doesn’t necessarily that has to be a good deal. Cheaper cars may not be best to purchases because they have high mileage. So make sure to check for the mileage of the car.
Just comparing a car with the price may not be a good way to start buying process of a car. So, do check other features of the car, including mileage. A car with more mileage is more likely to wear out easier than a car with less mileage.
So, if the car with less mileage is a little over your budget, don’t hesitate to pay because that type of car will be less problematic. You don’t have to expense on maintenance much.
This is very important so you should not miss it when buying a used car. The second-hand car you buy should not be involved in any crime, have no accident record, and is not stolen. You need to check for a certificate of registration and the original receipt.
And you also need to ensure that the car is previously registered. Also, check the record of the car to verify if the car has a bad record. You don’t want to buy a second-hand car that holds a bad reputation. Do a proper analysis to minimize future risk.
Never buy the car just because it looks good from the outside. You need to do a thorough analysis of the car to look for a sign indicating the car was involved in some kind of accident. Take your time to conduct a proper inspection of the car.
The best way to do a proper inspection is by taking it to the mechanic. He will do quality analysis on the car and let you know how much price you should pay for it.
He might not be able to provide you with the exact amount but will give you the minimum and maximum price range for the car.
This is the best way to know whether the car you are getting is the right car. Test driving also helps in knowing the condition of the car. If you are new to buying a car, you can take someone's experience to examine the car's condition.
When test driving the used car, you can check whether there is enough headroom and legroom. Check whether the seat is comfortable to drive. Also, check the rearview mirror, the side mirror, and blind spots.
And check if air condition and other inbuilt technologies are working or not. Be sure each feature of the car is in good condition.
When you take the car to the mechanic, he won’t just let you know about the condition of the car, but he will also tell you how much to pay for the used car. Don’t offer your price first. Allow the seller to put the price. Only then you should start a negotiation.
Make your offer with the lowest price that the mechanic told you. Let the seller know why you came up with that price. If the seller offers a price that is close to your average price, you can make the deal.
Ask the seller to transfer the title and registration to you. This is another important point that you should not forget. Before you give money to the seller, make sure that the title and registration number is transferred to you.
At the time of transferring, you can give an advance just to ensure that you will buy the car. And after the process is completed, you can pay the remaining amount.
Also, make sure that there are no past-due registration fees you would have to pay after buying the car.
