When most folks hear the term ‘used car’, they immediately picture an old jalopy held together with bailing wire and duct tape, gasping down the road trailing a thick cloud of acrid smoke. Although many second hand cars on the market may fall into this category, there are still thousands of fine used motors available here in Pattaya for prospective automobile buyers. It doesn't really matter if you are purchasing a previously-owned vehicle from your neighbour, or from an advert on a local bulletin board, or from a classified ad, but to make sure that you don’t wind up with a 'bit of a shed' There are a few simple procedures to follow that will not only make the whole experience much easier, they will also help to ensure that you don’t get ripped-off. First work out a budget, and don’t forget to include registration tax and insurance. It's also important to have a look at what’s out there before making a selection. Spend some time searching out used car ads online and at any local new and used car dealerships. This will help you to get a feel for the price range for a particular car model. You should always be wary whenever you encounter a used car with a price that is much lower than what your market research has suggested. This doesn't necessarily mean that the car is a clunker; however you should have the car, or for that matter, any other car that you are considering, thoroughly checked by a trustworthy mechanic. If the seller is a private party, it’s always best to meet at their home address, rather than in a car park. That way you can check that the home address matches the one on the registration certificate. One of the last things you should do is check the history of the car to make sure it’s not stolen, encumbered by an outstanding loan, or even a previous ‘write-off’, Get the car’s VIN number and check it against the databases where the vehicle was registered. After that, you can be certain that the used car you are buying is roadworthy and problem free.
