9 Mistakes When Buying a first car

Error number 1. Do not take into account the cost of the car service

Buy a foreign car loan and take the oatmeal is not output.

For the first car it is especially important: you can not avoid the cost of minor repairs of scratches and dents. In addition, beginners go less smoothly, sharply brake and make other mistakes, because of which the brake pads, clutch and starting system wear out faster.

Here are the main categories of expenditure:

• Regular maintenance. The older the car, the more money you need to pledge: the car, which took to the moon and back, will break down more often. At the same time maintain the old "mechanics" is cheaper than the old "machine".
• Purchase of spare parts. At the high-end brands of expensive spare parts, even if the car itself is worth little. You may find that you have successfully bought a cheap used the Cadillac, but later learned that some of the details need to be ordered from America and only the delivery will leave half the salary.

• Replacing consumables. Even in the new car you need to regularly change the oil, oil filter, air filter and brake pads.
• Fuel. Machines with high power (more than 150 horsepower) consume a lot of gasoline. Assume, Mitsubishi Outlander will eat almost 12 liters per 100 km, and Lada Vesta - about 7.

Error number 2. neglect insurance

This is another category of recurrent expenditure, which is to tell apart.

There are two types of policy: CTP and comprehensive insurance. Without the CTP can not travel on the road. This policy will cover the expense of an accident victim if you are someone will enter. Casco - voluntary insurance. You pay for the repair, even if you are guilty.

If ASSUME new car on credit, the hull will have to draw up every year until you repay all of the money - this is a standard requirement of banks. Even if you do not owe the bank, on the machine under the age of 5-7 years should arrange comprehensive insurance. Especially if you bought the demand in the market model. The statistics of Russia Named the most stolen cars Russia most often stolen Hyundai Solaris, Kia Rio and Toyota Camry.

Mistake number 3. Assume that the new car - it is always better

Leave the salon on a new car - a separate pleasure. But it will be short-lived: each chipping or scratching will be perceived with pain, and their first years of driving will be a lot.

For the first few years, the vehicle loses 20-40% of its value, but at the same time technically remains almost new. In addition, when buying a car b / y, you can communicate directly with the owner of the car and try to negotiate a discount.

Best of all automobile market presented at Auto Avito. It collected nearly 700,000 of ads, both from private owners, and from dealers.

Search Avito convenient because you can just filter out ads for the options you want to know the technical specifications, check order history, or exit the machine diagnostics.

Error number 4. To assess the age of the machine and not run

operation of the vehicle is determined by the intensity of kilometers, not years. On average, a car passed 15-20 thousand km per year. Higher numbers indicate that it was used very intensively, and therefore, more worn.

Let's say two cars in front of you: in 2010 with mileage of 150 thousand and 2015 with mileage of 180. State of the first, most likely, it will be better, because in the year he took only 16 thousand kilometers. The second car is newer, but is wound almost 45 thousand a year. It obviously went to far-off missions or taksovat.

Error number 5. To think that the range has no twists

Unfortunately, this happens very often, especially in cars aged. Estimated Named the most popular cars with mileage twisted professionals, 11% of the cars over 3 years old twisted mileage. Ranked Among 10-year-olds - one in five among 15-year-olds - every fourth. This is what should alert you:

• Very small run at the big machine age. Talk to the owner - can, on it went really little.
• The poor condition of the cabin with a small run. Strongly a worn steering wheel and gearshift knob, the panel faded, dirty ceiling erased gum on the pedals, worn out carpeting on the floor under the driver's seat. Or not cared for the machine, or it took longer than indicated.
• Worn tires. If the car goes a little worn out tires do not have time. Sometimes twisting run on the machine set new wheels. Check the date on the rubber if the years of release do not match, it is necessary to begin to ask questions.

No experience with this all a bit hard to understand, but you can ask for help to specialists. In Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan and Krasnodar service works on-site diagnostics Auto Avito. The expert himself will meet with the seller, will hold a full inspection of the machine and provide you with detailed report.

With this information, you'll know exactly how the car is worth buying or not.

Error number 6. Take the car only because they like

Being a fan of a certain model or brand - it's great, we understand you. But when you buy the first machine in addition to the favorite colors and beautiful interior should take into account several factors.

• Dimensions. The smaller car - the easier it is to manage it. Maneuver in the flow and rebuilt more comfortable with small-sized cars.
• Parking. Think about where you will put the car. If you do not have your parking and the yard is already full of cars with small cars it will be easier to find a place.
• Body. If you are going to carry a child, you need a place to seat. And for a large dog, for example, need a spacious trunk, so the best option would be a hatchback body, in which the trunk is not isolated from the cabin.

Remember that the machine should help you in situations of life, not complicate them.

Error number 7. Word for that "was not beaten, not stained"

Experienced painters of the minimum difference of shades can understand what the item was not painted at the factory. For less discerning is THICKNESS - A device that determines the thickness of paint layers on different parts of the machine. They are all experts in the verification of vehicles, including on-site diagnostic service experts Auto Avito. If you check the car yourself, you can buy your device.

Typically factory paint thickness - up to 150 microns. Some manufacturers have applied a double layer. Then all of the machine will show 300 microns. If the owner says that the damage was not, but a coat of paint on a bumper thicker - you are deceived.

Error number 8. To dwell on the details

Do not miss a good second-hand cars because of cosmetic problems or insignificant nuances. If you've traveled on the subway, you will not notice the difference between the climate control and air conditioning. The main thing that was in the car warm in winter and cool in summer.

Alloy wheels, as opposed to stamped, easy to scratch and crumple, their editing and coloring will be more expensive. Large diameter wheels worse tolerate impacts from potholes so that the chase is not worth it.

Error number 9. Do not check the cleanliness of the transaction

All of the above will matter if you sell the car fraud who have been reported as stolen. There are a few ways to check that the car is not given bail is not sought or arrested for debts.

• Check the numbers in the documents with the real: VIN-number, engine number and chassis number.
• Ask the seller to go together to the site traffic for technical inspection before buying. In the traffic police or on the site you can find out if there are any restrictions on the sale of the machine, such as unpaid fines.
• Book Report on "Avtoteki». This service Avito with the most complete database in Russia. Here on the VIN-number of the machine you get her the whole story: how many owners, repairs, accident, maintenance. Learn, not whether the traffic hijacking or bail.
