1. Car Acts
The most important is this book a car service with all operations noted to date and accredited service stations approved.
– Check the number of owners.
– Check if the car is not seized legally, not in litigation or pledge.
– Check correctness of the documents that they are not false.
– All documents must be legal.
– Track owners
– If they did taxi car
– Whether it was used for personal or taxi.
2. Engine Test
The most important part of the car is the engine and if this acquisition should be thoroughly checked.
– Check the battery
– Check the integrity of rubber components (hoses, gaskets) – The more worn, the engine worked.
– Fluid leaks to the engine or underneath the engine.
– Check status quickly bolts of this test to see how often was the car to pieces and many repairs were made to the engine.
– Know about the liquids used, oil consumption, consumables subansamle
– Whether or not auxiliary motor uses.
– Check whether or not the game engine / vibrations at idle speed.
– If the engine starts, careful listening is required from “cold” to “hot”. Any suspicious noise in its operation as: beats, breaks, vibrations are small or large defects in its proper functioning. The acceleration in place, the engine must rev up without stumblings or effort.
– If oil leaks or oil leaks on the parts.
– Test engine at startup.
– Noise.
– Check for gas issue, smells burned, walking discontinued, vibrations, etc..
We recommend a compression test workshop, validation horsepower, mileage validation if real or not.
– Check the tuning chips added or “additional changes” made by the owner of the car.
– Check the maintenance costs of the parts if achitionatati a car that engine maintenance costs, subansamle supplies.
3. ‘Eating’ of fuel
Very important for the budget and made trip roads. Check according to engine type, fuel consumption / oil or if fitted with LPG. How often do you change the oil, what type of oil used, how often do technical checks.
A high consumption may put questions about the quality of maintenance when the car / model / engine type does not require consumption.
4. Car body
The test body is very important. Can be tested with eye or hand. A place can be easily grouted and painted palm noted test if the repair was not performed correctly.
– Joints tested components, doors, hood, side skirts. Distance between them in all angles and locations must be identical and the space between them is. If the machine has been dropped or changed parts, wondering why, how, what kind of parts and it is very important to check this rust.
– If the car has actibilde sure they hiding something.
– Test sheet on angles can be made to see the car line.
– Attention to “cars dogs’ chassis and bodywork as skewed, meaning that the car was hit hard or overturned.
– Greater attention to tuning type ornaments – thresholds false hood intakes, they can hide big trouble auto parts concealed.
5. Direction
Direction can be tested either in front of the building but it is recommended that a test in the service.
– The most telling test structure steering, shock absorbers, suspension, connecting rods is to turn the steering wheel in place with maximum transferred low speed in both directions. If there are problems you will hear sounds.
– Go through the holes, cobblestone roads and country if possible.
– Rear shock absorber test: press machine boot – if it rises smoothly is fine.
– Joining maintenance costs – connecting rods, bushings, rod ends, bearings – how much and if changed.
6. The electrical parts
– Check each sensor of the board, check each element of board work (wipers, signaling contacts, heating windows, mirrors)
– Battery / headlights / taillights
These elements should be integrated and not broken, cracked.
7. Interior design of the car – a vehicle maintenance Aesthetics:
– Check the condition upholstery, roof, dashboard, carpets, try to see the state board under the carpet if possible.
– If seats and rear seats are soft, it is likely to be used for taxi car.
