The condition of the exchange or used car market is that there are not only dealers or traders, but also many intermediaries who are involved. If we are looking for a car in the car market, there are a number of things to avoid so we don't get stuck getting a unit that doesn't meet expectations.
1. Don't believe in high prices because you use famous brand accessories
Traders have many ways to sell the goods they sell quickly. Some traders must have offered a car at a higher price than the market price. There are those who reason that the price is expensive because they use well-known quality accessories or parts. Ways like this are done to make you think that the car is worth the price offered.
So that you don't buy an expensive unit, you should have a guide about the market price of the car in standard conditions, and an estimate of the price of expensive accessories or components used. That way, you already have calculations for the ideal price of a car that has aftermarket accessories installed.
2. Avoid Giving Signs of Too Big Money When Buying at a Car Exchange
It's called a stock exchange or used car market, quite a lot of traders who provide units that match our criteria. Not infrequently, we have found the unit we are after in pretty good condition. So that people don't buy it, we also pay a down payment for the receipt.
This method is commonly used because maybe we are tired enough to go around each showroom looking for units that meet the criteria. If you are still unsure about the car you are targeting but are afraid someone else will buy the car, give a small token. We may suddenly be offered a coveted car whose condition is better and the price is millions cheaper elsewhere.
The receipt that we have given can be lost if we cancel the transaction after the deal. For binders, we generally give a small token, for example Rp. 500 thousand to a maximum of Rp. 1 million. Imagine if we gave a token of Rp. 5 million, then we got another car that was better, with a difference of Rp. 4 million, which was cheaper. You will definitely feel a lot of loss because you can't get a more affordable unit.
3. Avoid Buying Units with Minus Tax Conditions or Former Officials and Artists
These last two things are sometimes not considered as an important minus in used car buying and selling transactions. You need to know, this tax minus is sometimes a reflection of the car's maintenance condition from the previous owner. people who deliberately let their car taxes die tend to pay no attention to their cars. In other words, you don't want to pay taxes that you don't want, let alone pay the costs to repair car damage that doesn't have to be replaced.
However, if indeed you have found a unit that is in good condition at an okay price, then this dead tax can be another weapon for price negotiations to make it cheaper. You can calculate how much tax is in arrears to ask for a price reduction. Of course, you have to pay off the tax, either through brokers or when you have to change your name.
Then, another thing that you might need to avoid is being fascinated by the cars of former officials or celebrities. Because it could be that the condition of the car is not as good as other units that are not former important people. Based on our experience, even officials don't always pay attention to the condition of their cars. Because generally these cars are used for daily activities, and ownership is intended to be in accordance with the usage period of 5 years.
Artists are also not much different, if he is not a hobbyist in the automotive field, he is also not necessarily a routine car maintenance expert. Instead of us just looking for big names to buy used car artists, why don't we look for other units with more guaranteed conditions.
