For those of you who really intend to buy and aim for a good and quality used car, you can apply some of the following tricks and methods.

1. Place of Purchase

The first way and trick to choosing a good and quality used car is to pay attention to where you bought the car. Indeed, now there are many places that open the sale of used cars with all the offers. But to get and buy a used car you can also buy it directly from people who really want to sell it directly.

Buying at a showroom will indeed give you many choices, but you must know that buying through a showroom will definitely make the purchase cost higher than if you buy it directly from the first person.

Buying a used car  through a middleman will also make your purchase more expensive. Buying a car from the first hand will make you understand more about the maintenance conditions of the car, especially if the person selling it is someone you know. Therefore, paying attention to where you buy a car is an important thing that you need to pay attention to.  

2. Car Exterior

After you find the seller and the place of the car, it's time to take the next step, namely checking. The part of the car that you usually pay attention to is the exterior of the car. Just do a check on the very first visible part of this. On the exterior of this car, some of the car parts that must be checked are the body parts.

Pay attention to whether there are scratches or damage on the body of this car, how is the condition of the paint, is it still smooth or already rough. Also pay attention to the glass, whether there are parts that are cracked or broken. Also pay attention to the lights, whether there is a broken one and can light up properly, or even the light is no longer bright or even no longer lit. Also look at the condition of the four tires, are they still okay or worn out. Also try to go under to see if anything rusty and porous.

3. Car Engine Performance

This is an important part of the checking process that should be the most careful and should not be missed. Start the car engine and pay attention to the sound of the engine running. A good sounding engine is one that sounds smooth and not harsh. Cars that are still good also have the characteristics of being easy to start. After starting the machine try to do a test drive.

Try to shift gears, make sure that the shift runs smoothly. Feel the true condition of the car while running. If it feels heavy, tends to turn left or right, you should think twice about buying it. In this test drive, try to pass through an uneven road to test whether the condition of the car's legs is good or not. For the entire test drive process, you should do it with the seller so that the seller also knows the condition of the car.

4. Accessories and Interior

After finishing with the exterior and engine, it's time to look at the accessories and interior of the car. Some components of car accessories and interiors that you need to pay attention to include the dashboard, adjust the air conditioner, carpet, and pay attention to the quality of the seats and ceiling.

Be sure to try to sit on the seat, pull it back, and check the quality of the upholstery. The glass section also should not go unnoticed by trying to up and down the car window. Also check the wiper button and the condition of opening and closing the car door. Finally, also try to check the turn signal, hazard, headlights, and brake lights. Radio or other audio facilities are also important for you to try by turning it on and playing it.

5. Completeness of the Letters

Vehicle documents are crucial things that you must also pay attention to when buying a car. Make sure you get the original BPKB and STNK. Pay attention to the authenticity of the BPKB and STNK of the car, because there are currently a lot of fake securities circulating so that the stolen car sells at a high price.

You must ensure that the car you are going to buy has a BPKB and STNK with the owner's real name. With the original and complete BPKB and STNK, it will be easier for you to change your name and other administrative matters.

6.   Physical Check

To be even more convincing, it never hurts to do a physical check at the Samsat office. With this physical check, you will be able to ensure that the data and information contained in the BPKB and STNK documents are in accordance with what is actually in the car. You can of course do this physical check process after getting permission from the car owner or seller. Feel free to ask the owner for a physical check. If you are sure that you will buy the car, the owner will usually be willing to have the car physically checked.

7. Insurance

Finally, the way and the trick to choosing a good and quality used car is to pay attention to the insurance that is on the car  . If the used car you are going to buy has insurance, of course this will be very good. What about the owner's name? Don't worry, insurance can be transferred through the transfer process to the insurance company that guarantees the vehicle you want to buy. Don't forget to prepare complete buying and selling documents so that the process of changing the name of this insurance can run smoothly.
