10 Tips for Buying a Used Car: Advice from YouTube Videos

I’m seriously considering it. I have been watching YouTube videos about SK Encar and used cars for several months to change my car. I think I know a little about it now. Useful advice even for those who don’t know much about cars.

1 There are no cheap and good cars. This is the truth. Avoid going for the lowest price in the country or cheaper than other properties in the same category.

2 We choose between cars with lower age and mileage. If possible, buy a white or black car from a brand used by many people. It’s easy to resell it later.

3 A vehicle owned by one person is better than a vehicle with a history of multiple changes of ownership.

4 However, even by opening the bonnet or looking at the underside of the vehicle, it is difficult to find defects if you are not an expert. Take a close look at your performance record and insurance history. There is no need to examine cars whose performance data or insurance records are kept private. Let’s skip it.

5 Avoid vehicles that have had the interior panel or wheelhouse replaced during the insurance history. There is a high probability that an accident occurred that was serious enough to cause the airbag to deploy. There is something that YouTuber “Dakshin TV” always points out. “Buy a one-owner vehicle with no exterior or body issues.”

6 If there is a “commercial use (rental)” history in the car’s usage history, it is very likely that it has just been used.

7 An insurance history of approximately 1 million won is acceptable. Light sheet metal and repairs can be done. Because it’s a used car.

8 Does the engine start immediately? Is the steering wheel shaking too much? Press all the buttons, including the air conditioner, lights, turn signals, windows and side mirrors, and check if they work properly.

9 Avoid dealers who ask you to make a down payment first, who are eager to sell the car, or who are overly friendly.

10 Before signing the contract, ask to see the original performance report. And be sure to include a “100% refund if record performance is different from the content clause” in the contract.

11 There is no used car that can be driven immediately after purchase simply by filling up with petrol. When buying a used car, it is convenient to keep in mind the repair cost of around 3 million won.
