But for a long time you couldn't afford to buy it? Right? You initially did not want to buy a second-hand motor vehicle, wanted to buy new car... Is that so? Alas, this was not destined to come true. You were waiting for your loved one or acquaintance to decide to change his car and sell it only to you. It's right? Congratulations on your. We understand that the very process of choosing and purchasing a used car was associated with certain difficulties, with your financial situation and with a strong anxious excitement. But now everything is over, you are now the full-fledged one that you have dreamed of for so long, even if it is a second-hand one. But before you start the daily operation of this car, you must certainly take several important and specific actions so that in the future your car does not upset and upset you. Dear reader, our online publication invites you to find out about specific preliminary actions that you must first take (complete) after buying a used car.

10) Register your car and take out insurance.

This is the very first and most obvious step for every motorist. After all, despite the fact that the car is already specifically yours, you cannot (yet) legally operate given car on highways until you register it with the traffic police (put it on record) and until you get a legal one. Remember friends that after signing, you, for your part, are obliged to come to the State Traffic Inspectorate within 10 days from the date of purchase of the car and in which it is stored full information about all owners of vehicles.

In order to re-register a car with the traffic police, you need to purchase an OSAGO policy. Of course, many of us (you) after purchasing a machine may feel that this car it will be possible to operate with the same OSAGO policy, which was issued to the previous car owner of the car. But then you must remember and know that with such an auto-insurance you can only drive for no more than 10 days from the date of signing the sales contract. After this period of validity, you must purchase your own personal insurance policy in your name. Otherwise, you will subsequently face administrative responsibility for driving a car without insurance.

9) Make a comprehensive diagnosis of all vehicle systems.

In fact, you should have done this even before buying the car (before signing the sales contract). But if for some reason you have not done this yet, then before operating your car on the roads of the country you should know about it technical condition and most importantly, the level of its safety, which is presented to cars in accordance with the established technical standards exploitation. To do this, it is necessary to carry out by making such a request to an auto repair shop. Remember friends, you must have a complete idea of ​​what you bought for yourself and what to be ready for in the future.

8) Change all filters in the car.

Change the following in the vehicle: -air filter, fuel filter, transmission filter, oil filter, filter fine cleaning, and other consumables. Remember that all of these filters must be replaced with new ones. Even if some of them are in satisfactory condition (which is unlikely), as the person who sells the car, as a rule, never changes these "consumable" parts before selling it. So it is still worth spending money on the new parts we mentioned above, since in the future, with the next scheduled maintenance, it will be much more convenient and profitable for you to change all these components at once, than periodically and over and over again to change them one set at a time. to the extent of their development, constantly contacting a service station for this and pay each time for the work of an auto repairman.

7) Read carefully the vehicle manual.

As a rule, along with the car, the previous owner must give you the operating manual for the car. If such a book is absent during the transfer, then be sure to remind the previous owner of it, who may have simply forgotten about it. If there is no such instruction manual, it is not known, and you never know for what reasons, then we recommend that you purchase this specified book. Naturally, it is somehow not typical for motorists to read such books - manuals, but nevertheless, friends, she (the operating manual) is necessary. This book will give you general idea about volumes various liquids(about engine oil, oh brake fluid, about antifreeze and much more), which you will need and will need when scheduled maintenance your car and during the entire operation of the car. Also, with the help of this manual, you can find out about the manufacturer's recommended intervals for scheduled maintenance of your car, and at the same time, at one time and get acquainted with various instructions for tuning radio channels and much more that is in this car.

6) Thoroughly clean the vehicle both inside and outside.

If you were in a hurry and bought a car that was not washed and cleaned before selling it, then you must definitely take it (drive it away) to a car wash and mud. It is possible that the previous owner of the car hid from you some flaws in the body or interior. After cleaning the car, you will certainly see all the shortcomings and shortcomings.

5) Replace all fluids in the vehicle.

And all because you will never be able to accurately establish or find out about when and with what frequency the previous owner of the car changed all the fluids necessary for the car. Also, you will not be able to find out about the quality of this liquid that was poured into the car. It is worth noting here that 90% of all car owners, in the event of a car sale, never change these fluids, even if their planned replacement date has approached. Therefore, friends, remember, you should always treat with caution and apprehension such statements by car sellers that the car was changed (and changed) on time. It is better to play it safe right away and fill your car with new and relying fluids.

4) On the very first day after the purchase, change everything you need in the car and do everything in it quickly that is possible and within your power.

Never put off until later, which can be done right away today. If you bought it, then for sure he will require some kind of care from you, for example, the same replacement of some worn out components, wiper blades, the same spark plugs or various bulbs, well, and other small auto-consumables necessary for operation cars. You can change all this (if necessary) on the very first day after purchasing the car. Replacing many small items car will not take too much of your time. Thus, you simply save yourself from the accumulation and subsequent carrying out of various technical works with the car you just bought. After all, often postponing something for later, we simply accumulate these numerous problems, which in the future cannot be solved quickly.

3) Check the brakes.

Before starting to operate the car, you should definitely check how its braking system works. Unfortunately, often, when diagnosing a car at a car service, the masters cannot identify a malfunction brake system(brakes) due to the fact that some defects and breakdowns in it are diagnosed only on the road itself and while driving. ... Therefore, you must be completely sure that the brakes in the car are reliable and working properly. To do this, it is necessary to select a specific site for testing the entire brake system, and it is desirable that there are no other cars on it. Test for yourself how the car brakes. In the event of a malfunction in the brake system, contact a service station or any other car service to eliminate the problems you have identified in this system.

2) Check the tires on the car. Replace the rubber on it if necessary.

Tires are the only thing that connects the car to the road. Therefore, friends, try not to neglect the condition of the tires. ... Also, pay attention to the uniformity of wear on each wheel (tire). If you notice that the tires have uneven wear, then contact a car repair shop to diagnose the chassis and to check the camber, which can be the very reason for uneven tire wear. If the rubber has a worn out tread, then get a new one, and in last resort used rubber, but with normal tread.

1) Trip.

Now it's time to take a car ride. It is desirable for a long and fairly decent distance. and combine business and pleasure at once. While driving, enjoy the surrounding scenic views and nature in general. While driving, try to listen to your car for all kinds of noises or extraneous knocks. If you notice any extraneous knock, creak or noise, then try to determine where he or they (knocking, noises) are coming from and coming from. Returning back home, immediately go to the service station to diagnose the car, so that they can find and determine the cause of this extraneous noise or sound. If in the course of testing on the track you did not find any problems with your car, then you can safely start operating your used car.

Remember friends that any car (including a new one) is constantly in need. Therefore, always carry out scheduled maintenance on time ( Maintenance) and change necessary spare parts and consumables, and don't forget about liquids as well. Never skimp on the cost of car parts. Choose only, only they can provide you maximum quality and the lifespan of your vehicle. Do not fall for the persuasion of the sellers of spare parts to buy from them non-original or second-hand spare parts. It is better to immediately recall this saying: - " We're not rich enough to buy cheap stuff. " the same sellers often try to convince us.

When a car enthusiast buys a desired car, he is often faced with the question - bought a car, what to do next? This question is quite natural, because in order to operate a car legally, as well as to protect yourself and others, you need to take a number of measures immediately after buying a vehicle - new or used.

Good afternoon, dear reader.

In the next article in the series "How to buy a car wisely" we will talk about how to pick up a car from the salon.

When preparing to buy a car, future car owners are mainly interested in this particular stage of buying a car - one of the last, and for all preparatory stages, which was discussed in ten, do not pay much attention.

So, today the following questions will be considered:

Especially for this article, I saved notebooks that were made the day before and on the day of the purchase of my first car, so the purchase procedure will be considered using a live example. Let's get started.

How to prepare for the final visit to the car dealership?

Preparing to issue a car may take you even more time than the process of inspecting the car and issuing documents, but this stage should not be neglected. After all, a car is a rather expensive item and is usually bought for several years. Therefore, you should carefully prepare for acceptance in order to avoid unpleasant defects and "pitfalls" with which you will have to live for a long time.

To prepare you first of all need a notebook... This is the main tool that will allow you to structure information and not forget anything.

In the process of preparation, it is necessary to make several lists in a notebook:

1. Car dealership visit plan.
2. Car inspection plan.

Let's consider each of them in more detail.

1. Plan of visiting a car dealership

The plan must reflect all the actions that you will perform in the process of buying a car. My plan looked like this:

1. The way to the car dealership.
2. Inspection and check of the car.
3. Signing of all documents.
4. Insurance registration.
5. Buying a fire extinguisher, first aid kit, sign emergency stop.
6. Getting information about the nearest good gas station.
7. Way to refueling.
8. Refueling (40 liters of 95 gasoline).
9. Way home.

You can use this plan as a basis, making changes to suit your situation.

Let's go through the points in more detail:

1. The way to the car dealership. This item is primarily relevant if the car is bought in another city. In this case, you should schedule the route in detail.

For example, when traveling to Moscow, write down in a notebook which metro lines you will use and at which stations you should transfer.

Also, be sure to include meal times in your plan. A visit to a car dealership will take several hours, so it is better to have a good meal in front of it.

2. Inspection and check of the car. Inspection of the car is the most important part of the whole process, therefore it will be carried out according to a separate plan, which is discussed below.

3. Signing of all documents. In a car dealership, you will need to sign a substantial number of documents. Let me remind you once again that all documents should be read very carefully and all the data specified in them should be checked. You should sign the documents only after you have inspected and checked the car.

Note. Some car owners are in a hurry to sign the papers as soon as possible so as not to delay the car dealership manager. It is for such "hurry-ups" that fraudulent schemes when a person came to buy a Mercedes, and after signing the papers he received a "fret" for the same money. If you are ready to take such a risk, then sign the papers without looking.

Sign only the document you just read. If the document was taken away somewhere (to the chief for signature), and then brought back, then it will have to be read again. This is due to the fact that if fraudsters work in a car dealership, then they can replace the document with another, similar in appearance. Unfortunately, such cases also happen in 2019.

4. Insurance registration. V in this case we are talking about compulsory OSAGO insurance, which is offered to be issued in most car dealerships. I remind you that insurance can be purchased within.

In principle, you can apply for an OSAGO policy outside the car dealership, but in this case you will have to travel to your home by car without insurance. Traffic police fines for this cannot be imposed, however, if an accident occurs through your fault, then you will have to pay for the repair of someone else's car yourself.

You can apply for an OSAGO policy for your region even while in another subject Russian Federation... That is, regardless of the place of purchase, the cost of the policy will be the same.

For example, when buying a car in Moscow, you can get an MTPL policy for St. Petersburg.

5. Purchase of a fire extinguisher, first aid kit, emergency stop sign. The absence of one of the three listed items in a moving car will lead to the fact that the traffic police officer will have the right to issue a fine of 500 rubles.

The absence of a first aid kit, fire extinguisher or warning triangle is. However, this is not the main thing either. These items may be required by the driver in the event of a serious accident, so you must buy them.

6. Obtaining information about the nearest good gas station... This item is relevant for a situation when you buy a car far enough from home and do not have information about the nearest gas stations. Any car dealership manager will advise you on this matter.

7. Way to refueling. Refueling. This item should be included in the list so as not to forget to refuel. Buying a car is a tricky situation, so anything can happen.

Depending on the situation in this list other items may be added.

For example, you can add an item related to the purchase directly at the car dealership if you pick up the car in winter. In practice, rubber in car dealerships is much more expensive than in specialized stores, and its choice is much less. However, in winter, this may be the only option.

Car inspection plan

New car inspection plan must be compiled taking into account the characteristics of a particular car model. In this case, I recommend based on information obtained from the following sources:

1. The official website of the car manufacturer;
2. A preliminary agreement concluded between you and the dealer;
3. Thematic forums and clubs that have been discussed more than once in this series of articles.

Each of these sources should be used in equally... As a rule, the websites of automakers are silent about some of the details that are provided in a specific configuration, so such information can only be obtained from owners of cars of a similar model.

Features of the design of the plan. The plan should be written in a notebook, each name should start on a new line. Next to each line, it is necessary to leave a place in order to put a mark on the success of the operation performed (checkmark, plus sign, etc.) when inspecting the car.

Let's go directly to the plan. It looked like this to me:

1. Appearance body elements:

• left front fender;
• right front fender;
• left rear fender;
• rear bumper;
• front bumper.

2. Checking the car locks:

• doors;
• trunk.

3. Trunk:

• backlight;
• spare wheel;
• jack;
• balloon wrench;
• towing hook;
• hook for removing the caps.

4. Outside:

• gas tank flap;
• towing eyes (front and rear);
• moldings;
• tire pressure (2.0 - 2.2);
• caps (how to remove).

5. Salon:

• turning on the light when opening the doors.

5.1. Seats:

• buckle up with belts on each;
• external examination of each;
• height adjustment of seat belts;
• check the movement of the seats back and forth;
• check the backrest tilt up and down.

• inspection of the roof upholstery;
• inspection of the floor;
• side mirrors;
• central mirror;
• steering wheel height adjustment;
• shifting of all gears;
• audio preparation;
• window lifters;
• handbrake;
• opening / closing doors;
• opening / closing the trunk.

5.3. Start:

• look at the light bulbs on the dashboard.

5.3.1. Lighting devices:

• left turn (3);
• right turn (3);
• emergency gang (6);
• low beam (2);
• high beam (2);
• dimensions (4);
• fog lights (2);
• fog lamp (1);
• lamp reverse (1);
• brakes (3).

• beep;
• tachometer;
• speedometer;
• wipers;
• windscreen washer;
• power windows;
• power steering;
• air recirculator;
• heated rear window;
• light bulbs in the cabin;
• the presence of pillows;
• stove;
• central locking;
• visors;
• toning;
• cigarette lighter.

6. Hood:

• open;
• washer fluid reservoir;
• oil level;
• sump protection;
• brake fluid level;
• coolant level.

7. Check:

• body number (PTS);
• engine number (PTS);
• two keys;
• service book;
• instruction;
• all documents have seals and signatures;
• warranty book;
• contract;
• Act of Handover.

As you can see, the list is quite impressive. You should have it about the same. Feel free to take this list as a basis and make your own adjustments to it.

When making a list, pay attention to the smallest details. For example, in order to inspect the body of a car with a high quality, add everything to the list body parts... This will allow you to check consistently without missing or forgetting anything.

In addition, when compiling the list, you should divide the items to be checked into groups. For example, first list everything that needs to be checked on the outside of the car. After that, list those items that can only be checked from the salon. Then give a list of devices, the operation of which can only be monitored after starting the engine, etc.

The more detailed your list is, the better and faster you can check the performance of all functional units of the car.

List of things to take with you.

The third list to make in a notebook is a list of things to take with you... It is necessary to enter documents (passport, license, car dealership documents, payment documents), money (to buy insurance, a set of motorists, tires), tickets (if the purchase is made in another city), a map or navigator (if you do not know the way home) , corner folders for documents (I recommend taking several such folders), etc.

Qualitative preparation for the final visit to the car dealership consists in compiling the 3 lists listed above.

How to pick up a car from the salon?

You must have already guessed that the very process of getting a car in a car dealership will take place in accordance with the plans drawn up above.

Let's dwell on some of the features in more detail:

1. First inspect the car and check all its functions, and only then sign the documents.

2. If you find faults in the car, you can, if you wish, demand:

• provide another car (you will most likely have to wait for it);
• eliminate the deficiency on the spot (you will also have to wait);
• give compensation in the form of some kind of gift (for example, winter tires).

In extreme cases, you can simply refuse to fulfill the contract and demand to return the amount paid earlier.

3. If the car is damaged paintwork or small dents, then with a high degree of probability the manager will stand with his back exactly to the place of the defect in order to block it from you. Pay attention to this.

4. Check all documents extremely carefully (so that all numbers match).

5. After all the documents are drawn up, put them in 2 folders: for the traffic police and the rest. In the first folder put PTS, act of acceptance and transfer and insurance. They will be needed if traffic police officers.

6. After you have left the territory of the car dealership, do not rush to immediately go to the road. First, stop (if this maneuver is prohibited, turn on the emergency stop signal) and check again that all required documents... After that, adjust the interior of the car to your own dimensions (adjust the seat, mirrors, steering column).

In addition, in the process of communicating with the manager, you most likely will not remember the purpose of all the buttons and levers in the car. Therefore, during a stop, try to remember at least those that will be useful to you directly in the process of movement.

After completing all of the above, you can go with peace of mind first to a gas station, and then to the side of the house.

Although the process of buying a car can be considered complete with this, several more articles will be published in the series "How to buy a car wisely". And the first of them will focus on.

Good luck on the road!

A series of articles "How to buy a car wisely"

An excellent article, we print it out - and go to the salon for a purchase! Thank you.

Hello! If you do not have a water certificate and you want to buy a car, will you be registered with whom?

Title and registration will be issued to the person who will be recorded as the owner in the DCT. The same person will be recorded in the column "Owner". But in the column the insured will indicate the one who will apply to insurance company behind the policy (usually this is also the owner) And who to write down the drivers in the column is up to the policyholder. You can buy a policy specifying specific drivers, who will be allowed to drive the car. Or you can issue a policy without specifying specific drivers, but then it will be 80% more expensive. And then any person with the rights and with the COP in their hands will be able to drive the car.

Our car dealership, like many others, has been providing such a service for a long time. The person writes a power of attorney, and for him for the money, esessno, the employee of the car dealership produces everything registration actions... The buyer gets a car with license plate right at the car dealership!

Car dealerships were banned from officially registering vehicles.

The person writes a power of attorney, and for him for the money, esessno, the employee of the car dealership performs all the registration actions.

The Russian people will always find workarounds. You can write a power of attorney to a neighbor or someone else. The car will stand near the entrance to the license plate, with full tank gasoline and even with balls. But registration in any case will be in the traffic police, and not in a car dealership.

You will not receive a license plate (number) in the salon. You will have to register the vehicle with the traffic police. When inspecting a car, they may require a first aid kit, ...

Hello. I want to receive numbers directly in the salon. This requires a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher and an avar. sign?

You will not receive a license plate (number) in the salon. You will have to register the vehicle with the traffic police. When inspecting a car, they may require a first aid kit, ...

Do you read what you write ??? The client can get a car on numbers in the SALON !!! Where she will register the client does not care !!! He pays money and gets everything at the car dealership! And maybe from there immediately go to the South on vacation!

Yes, for you! At least by yourself, at least by proxy!

Again. Car dealerships do not have the right to register sold vehicles with the traffic police. These services are not provided entity, and Uncle Vasya, to whom you issued a power of attorney to provide your interests in the traffic police. For clients, this Uncle Vasya, in your words, is called "an employee of a car dealership."

He pays money and gets everything at the car dealership! And maybe from there immediately go to the South on vacation!

Well, I also:

You can write a power of attorney to a neighbor or someone else. The car will be parked near the entrance to the license plate, with a full tank of gasoline and even with balls, you don't even need to go to a car dealership. And maybe from the entrance, immediately go to the South on vacation!

The most offensive thing will be when Uncle Vasya issues the car not for you, but for Uncle Petya. A power of attorney is usually offered by a car dealership, and the client, in joy, does not even read it, but simply signs it. And when it is competently drawn up and decorated, the buyer can be a sponsor!

Adding a comment

Buying a new car is always a serious process, which is accompanied by significant expenses. Therefore, this issue should be approached as carefully as possible with an understanding of the matter. Modern car showrooms offer huge selection, but it should be remembered that serious competition is sharpening among them. Even representatives of the same brand in big city there may be several. Therefore, when buying a new car, there are certain opportunities to reduce the cost or bargain for some gifts in the form additional features complete set. These are nice subtleties that seriously change the shopping experience. It's one thing to just buy a car, but it's quite another to get a very expensive lock at the checkpoint or some other useful thing as a gift.

In salons Russian manufacturers bargaining does not make sense. Much more willingly, a discount or a gift will be given to you in a Mercedes or BMW showroom. On the budget cars demand is increased, so customers often simply do not have the opportunity to bargain. But this does not mean that you cannot buy a car profitably. You need to know some secrets about buying a car in the showroom. These secrets can be told by those who worked in car dealerships and experienced all the peculiarities of the attitude of manufacturers to customers. Today we will look at some of the intricacies of buying a new car in the showroom, technical and moral aspects of some parts of this process.

How to buy a car in the salon more profitable and get pleasant surprises?

Remember that in the current situation of our economy, the buyer of expensive things dictates his own rules. Unless you come to a Ferrari showroom and start demanding a 20% discount, because in this case, hardly anyone will consider your offer serious. The most expensive and cheapest cars are bought mostly without discounts. But demanding a discount or a gift for a middle-class car is quite realistic. However, there are options for getting a discount on both budget and luxury cars. These are holidays and promotions, when salons discount from 5 to 10 percent on the whole the lineup... But now we will talk about special cases. The discount can be claimed by the following behavior:

• do not show the manager that you are really considering buying this car;
• let the salon staff persuade you to buy this particular car, tell us about how you were in the salon of another brand and you liked a certain model;
• scrimp your face, sitting in the salon, say that it looks poor, in your current car it is even better;
• look at the list of complete sets and be surprised that this car does not even have heated mirrors and a lock at the checkpoint, and you are disappointed;
• tell me that you generally think the figure on the price tag is pretty high and would not like to give that kind of money for a car;
• always show doubt - this can give you certain privileges when buying a car.

The fact is that in a car dealership the staff is allowed to use certain leverage to persuade the buyer. For example, many brands do not offer in basic configuration interior and trunk mats, music and other peripheral options. Sellers are allowed to use these features as gifts for the salon's customers to coax them into buying a car. But if you glow with joy and nod in agreement at all the statements of the seller in the salon, no one will give you rugs. You will have to spend a certain amount of money on them. Even such insignificant gifts can save about 2% of the cost of a car. And even better - come to the salon after the new year and complain that you are going to buy a car of the last year of production and you will definitely not pay the full price tag.

The technical process of buying a car in the showroom

Buying a new car has several technical features to keep in mind when buying. Most of the salons follow the nationwide rules that apply to sellers of new cars, there will be no problems with the registration of vehicles. But there are some companies that regularly violate the rules for the sale of cars and do not issue necessary documents... You can find out about such companies from customer reviews, but it is best to initially know how the transaction of buying a new car in the showroom should take place. Among the intricacies of this transaction and the documents that should be in the hands of the buyer, it is worth highlighting the following points:

• the payment is made through a bank payment, a cash payment of such a large amount looks suspicious to the tax authorities;
• with full settlement at the time of payment Money the buyer receives the entire package of documents for registering the car;
• a temporary package of documents is valid for 10 days, during this time you need to register the car;
• PTS must be present in the documents, and you cannot be released from the passenger compartment without insurance;
• registration is better done early, because we are talking about ten calendar days, not working days.

When buying a car in the salon, you should check the VIN code on all parts, as well as the body and engine number. This will help get rid of the troubles that may await the buyer in the traffic police when registering the car. Using the trust and euphoria of customers when buying a car is a frequent case among car showrooms... In particular, the moment is very important quick sale when the seller in the salon says that tomorrow this car will no longer be available, another client went to the bank to apply for a loan. Do not listen to these myths, the car you looked at is just a showcase option, you can be brought a new car from the factory within a week, which will be even better.

Buying cars in stock and transport after a test drive

In domestic showrooms, the problem of selling actually used cars is progressing. If the transport has stood in the cabin for two years, several thousand people have already visited it, the seats have begun to wipe, and the steering wheel is shiny from the sweat deposits of all these thousands of people, the car cannot be sold at the cost of a new car. This is not just an argument for a dispute about the price for the buyer, it is an excuse to order another car from the factory or bring down the price up to 20-25 percent of the discount. Also, many salons sell cars after a test drive, which is generally not correct. In this case, the following process takes place:

• the car is supplied by the manufacturer free of charge to dealer network for test drive and demonstration;
• the car receives temporary documents and is used in showrooms of the network for showing to clients and test drives;
• when a model becomes obsolete or starts to wear out, the salon puts it up for sale at the price of a new car;
• the transaction is shown to the manufacturer as a sale of a vehicle with a large discount, and to the buyer it is sold at full cost;
• this is how domestic salons earn good money by deceiving both customers and manufacturers.

Therefore, if you see the sale of a car after a test drive, you have a real opportunity to get a discount of up to 30% of the cost of the car. It is enough to remind in the showroom that they are selling a used car. However, buying a car after a test drive or not is enough big question... Many motorists will prefer a used car that was in the hands of a normal owner. Such a car was serviced normally, and the ride will be no worse than a new one. So whether to buy a car in the showroom is still a big question that you have to decide. We offer you to watch a useful video about buying a car in the showroom:

An article on how to buy a car at a car dealership and not be deceived. What pitfalls lie in wait in the cabin. At the end of the article - a video on how to buy a car at a discount!

Suppose you have long ago decided not only on the brand, model and equipment of the proposed purchase, but even on its color. And you are sure that all that remains is to decide on the choice of a car dealership, where, in fact, your old dream will be acquired. However, as it turned out in practice, the choice of the place of purchase of the car is the most decisive stage, which should be taken very seriously. The choice of a car dealership largely determines how successful your purchase will be.

You should not limit the search area, since prices in different regions quite often differ significantly, which is what resellers happily use. If you are not well informed, other unpleasant surprises may await you in addition to the inflated cost.

Where to buy a car

To choose a new car, you should not use the services of questionable car dealerships. It is safer and easier to buy a car from a legal dealer, which can be easily found using the services of the official websites of manufacturing companies.

As a rule, an exhaustive list of legal representatives (entitled to sell and maintain vehicles) is provided on the sites in the search menu.

In addition, on the official websites, you can reliably find out the recommended prices at any time. They should be the same for all legal car dealers. But this is in theory, but in practice, the recommended prices are usually significantly different from the actual prices. The promoted brands are trying with all their might to fight this problem, but not always successfully enough. Anyway, knowing real value, It will be easier for you to navigate the offered prices.

Also, on the official sites, all kinds of configurations and options are provided. additional equipment the model you like. However, it should be borne in mind that the dealer's "basic" versions are very rarely available, since his main income is based on the retrofitting of the car. You may have to wait a couple of months for an "empty" car, or you will need to overpay a little and buy what is currently in stock. By the way, this important nuance does not depend in any way on the model class and concerns how budget cars and premium cars.

Information by phone

So, if you have decided on the choice of a car dealership, do not rush to rush there right away. To find out as much information as possible, and at the same time save your time, nerves and money, you just need to call there. By communicating by phone, you will be able to determine not only the attitude towards the client, but also to clarify whether the car is available, what configurations, how to place an order, whether they are the given time any promotions. It is advisable to call several car dealerships in order to choose the most acceptable terms of the transaction for yourself.

If they say that the model you are looking for is available, be sure to find out if there is an original passport for this car. If there is, ask to scan it and send it to you by e-mail.

Also ask to send a scanned sales contract and an invoice for payment for this machine. Explain this requirement by the fact that you are going to pay for the purchase by non-cash payment. This is an important nuance that will protect you from possible cheating about the real availability of the model you like. The fact is that many sellers will never tell the buyer that this model is out of stock, since their main goal is to lure a potential client into the salon by all available means.

In addition, by demanding to send scanned copies of documents, you will not only insure yourself against fraud, but also actually book a car for a few days.

If you are convinced of the availability of the model you like, and the terms of the proposed transaction are completely satisfactory for you, write down the name and phone number of the employee with whom you spoke.

If you find that the reality does not correspond to the stated, the information received will allow you to complain about the negligent manager to his management, and will also save you time and nerves. In any case, you will have to communicate with the seller more than once.

You are in the car dealership

Finally, you are on the doorstep of the car dealership. However, it is too early to relax. Right from the start, you might be disappointed with one of the queue resale managers' tricks.

Often the desired model is shown to the buyer, but at the same time it is explained that it is not possible to purchase it now, since another buyer has already made an advance payment for it.

To resolve the issue in your favor, the manager offers to overpay a certain amount in excess of the cost, ostensibly in order to compensate the previous buyer for the inconvenience. However, the funds you overpaid will end up in the cashier of the car dealership in the form of super-profits, since in fact there is no buyer and there has never been.

If you are lucky enough to avoid this unpleasant moment and your car is safely waiting for its owner, you need to gather and concentrate as much as possible, since the finish line is still far away.

At this stage, you need to do the following:

• inspect the car;
• take a test drive;
• conclude a sales contract;
• pay for the purchase.

Machine inspection

Since, according to statistics, 40% of shipped vehicles are defective, a thorough inspection of the vehicle is extremely important.

Examine the smallest details with concentration. Especially carefully inspect bumpers, doors and body surface for deformations, scratches and impacts.

Take the time to look under the bottom of the car. Quite often, damage to these parts occurs when unloading a car from an auto transporter or through the fault of the employees themselves, who inaccurately parked the car in the car dealership. As a result, these damages are carefully putty and painted over.

Also, for hidden defects, you should carefully examine the part of the hood adjacent to the wipers. If someone accidentally forgot to lower the wipers before opening the hood, there are most likely scratches left there, which were then painted over.

V mandatory make sure the installed rims and tires are as stated and not replaced with a cheaper option.

After inspection, ask the seller for the passport of the car, and then check the engine numbers and body numbers. Also check the completeness of the chassis and engine.

Another type of scam that even the most prestigious car dealers occasionally use is selling used cars disguised as new cars.

How does this happen? The car dealership buys used cars, the approximate age of which is 1-3 years. Then experts bring them into a marketable condition, if necessary, restore them, carry out simple manipulations with documents, and then implement them as they have just come off the assembly line.

To avoid this type of fraud, it is not advisable to purchase a car in showrooms that offer free warranty service for a suspiciously long period of time. Also, you should not buy cars in salons that promise to carry out maintenance absolutely free of charge or provide huge discounts on it. Do not make a purchase in salons that insist on further servicing the model only in their service. The best option, when further maintenance of the car in the service is not at all connected with the salon where the car was purchased.

Test drive

During the test drive, listen carefully to any extraneous tapping and noise. Immediately after the test drive, stop the car and, without turning off the engine, slightly open the hood. Listen to the operation of the motor and all units.

It is not at all necessary to be a professional here. All you need to know is that the sound of the engine should be smooth, even, without interruption.

In addition, the engine compartment should be carefully inspected for possible fluid leaks. It will not be superfluous to check the levels of oil in the engine, coolant and brake fluid. If power steering is installed, then it should also be checked. Check with the manager how much and what kind of gasoline is in the tank.

Also, be sure to check the functioning of systems and electrical appliances, as well as all lighting equipment (including external lighting), additional equipment in the cabin (air conditioning, audio system, lighting, and others).

If during the inspection process you managed to find insignificant defects, you have every right to demand a discount on the car you like.

Verification of documents

The final step in buying a vehicle is the signing of a sales contract. In that important point many finally lose their vigilance, feeling already at the wheel of a car. However, before you put your signature in the contract, you must definitely check warranty card, vehicle documents, licenses and certificates.

Another trick on how to trick a client is designed to make the client frivolous when signing documents.

It happens something like this:

You come to the salon, choose a car with the equipment you need, pay for it, and when you come to pick it up at the appointed time, you get a car with a different, cheaper "filling". The dealership will not even deign to consider all further claims regarding the replacement of the complete set, since there is no talk of the required equipment in the document you signed. As a result, you have to ride with what you have. The list of substitutes is huge, so follow this important step carefully.

To avoid deception, it is necessary to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the sales contract before signing. In the contract (or in its annex), all additional equipment of the purchased machine must be listed. In this case, this document must be certified with the dealer's wet seal.

You should also pay attention to the equipment installed in the vehicle from other manufacturers. They must be accompanied by completed warranty coupons, as well as separate instructions.

By the way, all your wishes and promises of the seller must also be clearly spelled out in the contract, otherwise you will not have a chance to prove that the rugs, alarms or covers were promised as a presentation.

Regarding technical passport car, here it is necessary to trace whether the identification number (VIN) is registered, as well as the date of registration of the car and the year of its production. The invoice must indicate: a description of the purchased model, data about the car dealership, the date of purchase and sale, the terms of the transaction, as well as the place where the purchase took place.

If with vehicle everything is in order, you can pay for it and pick it up. However, first, make sure you have all the necessary documents, namely:

• contract of sale;
• acceptance certificate;
• passport (PTS);
• help-invoice;
• waybill for the car;
• service book;
• copies (certificate of conformity and dealership agreement);
• warranty certificate;
• instructions for warranty and service;
• operating instructions (machines, as well as additional equipment);
• transit numbers;
• cargo customs declaration (if the car is from abroad).

Payment

Another unpleasant surprise on the way to your cherished goal may be the VAT not included in the contract. With this option, after paying the cost of the car, you will have to pay an additional 18% VAT. Therefore, we once again draw your attention to the fact that you need to carefully read all the points of the agreement being concluded, and preferably several times! Even if you refuse to purchase, the cost of which increased by 18% at one point, according to the agreement, the seller has the right to compensate for his damage at the expense of the abandoned buyer. And this is by no means a small amount.

Let's say that the cost of a car is indicated in euros, but you are going to pay for the deal in rubles, but at the last moment you find out that the exchange rate of the car dealership is overstated and clearly not in your favor.

In order not to become a victim of crooks and not find yourself in one of the listed situations, you should find out in advance all the pitfalls of the proposed transaction. And then nothing will darken your joy from the long-awaited acquisition!
