Then what are some good signs for buying. Warning Signs for Pre Owned Cars
There are several warning signs in pre owned cars that tell you not to buy. The most important thing to check is the engine of the car. One warning sign is that the seller refuses to lift the hood of the car. Or they only want you to take a ‘quick look’ at the engine. When a car is not running, most engines will look the same. While running however, you will see and hear issues. If there is smoke coming up from the engine, do not buy it. It can be a combustion issue. This will likely be expensive to fix. If you see any holes, or sparks coming from the engine then you may want to look elsewhere. Sparks coming from the spark plugs may be fixable, and not too expensive. Make sure you know where it’s coming from first though. If you hear a clicking noise when the engine is on, that could be the battery.
Good Signs to Buy
There are also a few signs in pre owned cars that let you know to buy the vehicle. These again rely on the quality of the engine. When you check the engine, you should look for a smooth ignition, and lasting run. In other words, the engine that start well should stay well. There should be no smoke or sparks coming from the engine while it is one. In addition, there should be no holes or a clicking sound when the engine is on either. If you do not encounter these issues, then the engine is probably in pretty good condition. This would make it safe to buy.
