What to consider when buying a new car!

[Display]

The purchase of a new vehicle should not be made impulsively and must be carefully considered. Many different factors always have to be taken into account. It doesn't necessarily have to be a brand new model, because even the used car trade offers all possible brands, price ranges and key figures. Anyone who is familiar with the area will quickly find the right vehicle for the individual occasion.

Everything at a glance

Get all the information you can from the dealer. This of course includes the marginal data such as: B. Year of manufacture, vehicle model and features of the installed technology and performance. However, any accident damage and the next date for the general inspection are also important. Take the time you need to discuss all the details and value the opinions of different people so as not to adopt a one-sided perspective. You can also write a checklist beforehand so that you don't miss any details. Of course, the exterior should also be right, but the focus should definitely be on quality. Avoid cars that are made from cheap materials and wear out quickly or even show signs of rust.

Beware of the emissions scandal

When buying your new car, you should definitely stay informed about important reports in the media. You've probably heard of the diesel scandal in which several vehicle manufacturers were involved. Cars were equipped with unauthorized software that distorted the key figure for the emission of dangerous nitrogen oxide. For environmental reasons, there is a legal limit for these, which was clearly exceeded when the vehicles were started. The event first became known in America. At the end of 2015, Volkswagen, among others, was dragged into the affair. However, other manufacturers also followed suit, including Audi, Opel, Daimler, Fiat and even Porsche.

Anyone who unknowingly bought an affected vehicle was offered an update for the software by a specialist as compensation. If you want to make sure, you should find out enough information about your car on the Internet. In this way you can be sure to pass the next TÜV without any problems so that your vehicle can continue to be registered. Think carefully about whether you want to be the successor to a car that has been improved after the scandal. The engine will give up the ghost faster on average and the tank empties faster, which will sooner or later put a strain on your wallet. In return, the purchase price will be a bit lower.

The first inspection

Images or video material on the Internet can quickly be deceiving if the angle and lighting conditions have been adjusted. It is therefore important to have seen your future vehicle in real life at least once before buying it. Pay attention to details such as B. the tire pressure and take a tour around the car. The assessment of the bottom is also essential, because problems can already be identified here. Liquids must not leak into the engine compartment and the hoses should be tight. Furthermore, the interior should have a rather neutral scent and all safety mechanisms must work properly. If everything fits so far, ask the seller for a test drive. Here you will learn how the car behaves in traffic. Pay attention to the acceleration, the braking power and a gearshift that is not sluggish.
