As India progresses with outsourcing and software industry, it is adding millions of cars to it reads. Which means there is a tremendous market for used cars.
But unlike western countries India still lacks the following
- Blue Book to get a worth of your vehicle - Accident history. - Clear titles - Car payment history.
But still it is worth to try buying your used car online. You can do lot of homework before you decide to write the check.
Some of the tips I would recommend is - First see the car and find from the owner why he is selling. - If the owner is in a hurry (the most common reason being going abroad on assignment) - Get the titles of the car - If possible check with the RTO. - try to get the vehicle status in an authorized service center or take it to TVS; TVS are known to be honest. - Write an agreement; - Hire a lawyer if possible; if you are going to buy a car for lacs of rupees would not hurt to hire a lawyer for Rs 1000 just in case. - Talk to the bank if the car is under a loan; they can help you with the vehicle history. - Talk to the insurance company about any claims in the past.
If you are OK with the car and the paper work just buy it and enjoy!
There are lot of online sites listing used cars for sale. I would recommend is India's No 1 Auto Portal to buy and sell second hand car. The site has excellent feedback, looks like number one in India, daily updates with new cars, live help, ease of use and great customer service.
