A recent investigation into a used car sales scam in Sweden has baffled both, the police and public. Supposedly clean and nice luxury cars are being sold commonly in the country; however these cars are an assortment of scrap cars imported from the US and repaired with stolen car in Sweden. User car sales scams aren’t a rarity, especially in the luxury car market. Here are a few tips to help people before they choose from a used car:
More than one in three cars sold in the used car market are remade from two or more cars that are welded together to form a whole ‘new used’ car. Of course, the sales agent will go all the way to show how the car is a steal at the price that it is being sold. Make sure you ask a lot of questions and check all related documents including the service bills carefully. Answers to questions about the tax, old MOT’s will surely give you a clue about the car. It’s also important to check the mileage of the car, because it isn’t uncommon for people to reverse the mileage clock for cars that have crossed a high mileage.
If you are unsure of the origins, there are plenty of sites where all you’ve got to do is to enter the registration number of the vehicle and every little data, including the number of repaints and the previous color of the car is made known to you. You can also know the mileage that the car has covered. And if you are worried that the car may be a stolen one, there are sites that can check if the car is stolen or has finance owing on it.
As earlier said, the luxury car market also isn’t exempted from fraudsters. There are plenty of car sales firms in Sheffield that specialize in luxury cars that sell the best Audi, Acura and BMW’s. But beware of small time firms that haven’t got good credentials to boast. And if you really have to choose from a local privately owned company, make sure that the firm that you choose is one that your friends and family have recommended. And if you are worried about problems that may crop in the future, you can also check if the firm offers car servicing in Sheffield.
Not many realize that failure to make a simple precautionary step, can cost them thousands in the long run. And if the car is assembled from stolen car parts, the investment is a waste.
