Buying New Cars. Car Reviews and Road Tests  

New Cars and Pre-owned Cars

Previously they call New Cars which have been used by others, then put on the market for resale as used cars or second-hand cars. Not anymore. Now it is all fancy, nice sounding names. Used cars are now known as pre-owned cars. Nothing second-hand about them.

What is the difference new cars and pre-owned cars. Obviously, the former had not been owned or registered for use on the road before while the later had. Now if you are buying pre-owned cars, you have to be vigilant and check the car thoroughly before you put your money down for the car. One question you must ask is, why the previous car owner is selling it. If it is to upgrade to a higher class car or the owner is moving to another country or something, then you should be more confident about the pre-owned car. What you need to watch out for is cars being put on sale because the previous owners have had to put up with many mechanical problems.

The most important details to check is the paint work. Examine the car body surface at a glancing angle against the light. If you see wawy surface, it means that area had been knocked back into shape and repainted. That area had suffered a car accident before. Also, check very carefully for sign of rust. Mechanical problems can be fixed. Not a rusting car body.
