Critical points to consider when buying a second-hand vehicle
The most common risks faced by consumers in the process of purchasing a second-hand vehicle are reduced mileage, hidden damage and uncertainties regarding vehicle registration. While some vehicles are subjected to mileage manipulation to make them appear less used, damaged parts can be made up to create the impression that the vehicle is faultless. Additionally, when the insurance file is not closed, damage information may arrive late in the tramer system, which may mislead buyers. In addition, the fact that the equipment and package information specified in the advertisement does not match the vehicle exactly, and in some cases, the identification information of damaged or stolen vehicles is changed and they are put on the market as a “replacement” vehicle, creating serious risks. It is of great importance to carefully evaluate all these elements, as parts that are presented as original but are discontinued or aftermarket can cause costly problems in the long run.
VavaCars recommends that some basic checks be made to protect consumers from the risks they may encounter when purchasing a second-hand vehicle. Before purchasing a vehicle, it is of great importance to examine the past records in detail and check the inspection history and mileage consistency through the Insurance Information Center (SBM). In addition, having the vehicle undergo a comprehensive appraisal at a reliable and competent center enables early detection of possible problems, making the purchasing process more transparent and secure.
“Trust, transparency and satisfaction are our priorities”
VavaCars Commercial Group President Serdıl Gözelekli said, He states that trust has been redefined in the second-hand vehicle market: “As VavaCars, we aim to offer our customers not just a vehicle but a safe experience.
