When you should never buy a used car even if it is very cheap

Buyers who are serious about choosing a used car study the technical condition and try to understand the engine indices. But there are other reasons why you should never buy second-hand car even if it's very cheap.

Save the cheat sheet from OBOZ.UA. This time, the material is as accessible as possible to a wide audience because there are no complicated technical overviews, only simple tips. However, you will be surprised how often buyers forget about simple things and get a car they regret.

Experienced car mechanics, salespeople, and those who often buy used cars know about such tips. However, not everyone shares useful, albeit simple, knowledge.

Air conditioner problems

It's hard to find more serious car breakdowns, but the air conditioner is easy to check. Even if you choose a car in the winter, it will definitely come in handy in the summer. Don't even think about assuming that you will ever be able to repair it inexpensively. You will definitely spend a lot of money on repairs and maintenance, so you should refuse the car if there is any problems with the device.

Rusty body

Even if the rust spots are very small, after one cold season, you will be surprised to see the metal blooming with renewed vigor. It is expensive to repair, and often even pointless. You should just give up on such a car.

Starter issues

If the car can't be started and checked in case the seller "forgot" the key, it's better to go in search of a better deal. The seller may say that the car may not start because it "just needs a starter replacement". It may sound like nothing serious but most likely the problem is much more deeper and therefore expensive.

Lack of technical passport

The seller may not have a vehicle registration certificate for many reasons, they can tell you anything. None of these reasons should worry you as this is definitely a sign of a bad deal.
