How to Choose a Car?

Since experienced motorists can independently answer this question, we address this article first of all to those who recently received the rights and who still have to choose the car for their first car.
Certainly, it is best for an inexperienced driver to purchase a common car model. Nobody is insured against an accident, especially a beginner. Also, there may be trouble with maneuvers in yards or when parking, reversing. If such a car has suffered, then there will not be a big problem in the repair, since the prevalent auto parts are cheaper, and it's not necessary to look for them in car shops. Also an important detail is the cost of maintenance. The simpler the car, the less time the mechanic of the car service will spend, hence for the owner this procedure will be less expensive.

When choosing a car is also good to consider its ground clearance or clearance. This is the value characterizing the distance from the bottom of the car to the top level of the road. If the ground clearance is small, then the probability of car breakage increases when driving on bad roads.

When buying a car bu, ask the owner how long he has it. If this period is less than one year, then it is sold, most likely, because of breakdowns. But people have different life situations, so ask about the car as much as possible.

Most of the cost of the car determines the body. The body should be carefully inspected in a pure form and better in daylight. With good illumination, all scratches and dents are noticeable. Podkapotnoe space should be clean, without oil stains and the smell of burning.

Also note the color of the exhaust gases. If black smoke comes from the exhaust pipe , then this indicates the presence of gases of unburnt fuel. The cause is wear or damage to the engine valves. Blue smoke is formed from the combustion of oil. The reason is the wear of the piston rings or valve sleeves. If the coolant enters the combustion chamber of the motor, the smoke from the exhaust pipe will be white.

After checking the condition of the car, you should sit behind the wheel and try it on. If the owner will give you a few hundred meters, then this distance should be done with the radio off - external sounds are distracting. While driving, you should listen carefully to the engine, it should not shake, shake or run in jerks. It is also better to listen to knocking in the suspension and steering. It will be nice to travel on different programs and at high speeds. If the car suits you, then think about buying it.

The trend has long been established: approximately 70% of newcomers are buying either new expensive foreign cars in the showroom or completely old and very cheap models of domestic production. Guided by the principle: the car should be primarily safe, so when buying do not pay attention to very old cars - your own safety above all!
