Indeed, in general, used cars are sold at a much cheaper price than new cars. But there are only car models that do not fall in price to own such as Honda Integra DC2 Type R, Proton Arena, Suzuki Swift Sport, Perodua Kelisa, and many more. Therefore, providing a budget that you can afford is the most important thing to ensure that you choose a used car that does not bother yourself. Good financial management for the long term is that the price of the car should not exceed 15% of your monthly income.

It is advisable for you to limit your choice of car to no more than 5 years after the date it was manufactured. This is to reduce any risks and problems present in a car.

The higher the mileage of the car, the lower the value of the car. However, to buy a cheap car, make sure the mileage is not too high but moderate. What if a seller lied about the odometer reading, of course the mileage reading would change? For cases like this, you can ask for a maintenance record from the original owner, and keep an eye on car components because cars that already have high mileage, the components are easily worn. For example, like a spark plug. It can usually withstand up to 100,000 km. So if you buy a car that has an odometer reading of 50,000 km but already needs a new spark plug, it means there is fraud there.

Check the car history. Always be careful if the car you viewing is too cheap. Something cheaper than regular value, most likely has flaws that you are not aware of. It can occur due to factors such as:

• Ever been involved in a road accident
• Has a high mileage limit
• Flooded car
• Number of previous owner

If you still insist on buying it, there are many risks you will have to face in the future.

Check car service records from previous owner. Don’t worry, you as a prospective buyer have the right to view and check all previous car service records. If the car has been used by old users for 5 years, then you need to check the record for 5 years. It’s tedious, but these tips are very important to keep the car in good condition. If possible, you are also advised to visit the service center used by the previous car owner to check the records in their system. The service record is more transparent and complete for you to see the history of the car in case of damage to spare parts, engines, or other components that are replaced.

Check the exterior and interior condition of the used car. Although many people take this matter lightly, but it is better for you to check the situation outside and inside the car as a whole. Take seriously the damage, chemistry, and any defects you see on the exterior and interior of the vehicle. Then, report to the seller to allow the price to be lowered slightly from the original value depending on the damage. The cost to repaint the entire body of the car cost more than RM 2,000. For damage due to chemicals, the cost may start from RM 150 and above.

Before making an agreement or signing any document that indicates you agree to buy, first check all car accessories and fittings whether they are complete and can work properly. These intended accessories include windshield wipers, car signal signs, lights (front, side, spotlight, break), horns, air conditioners, radios, safety belts, spare tires, vehicle spare parts boxes, and vehicle storage drawers. Don’t worry about voicing your displeasure or dissatisfaction with all the damage that is there. Take your time, and think carefully. Buying a car is not a small value but it costs thousands of dollars.
