Because I’m going to share with you the 10 most important tips that nobody tells you before!
✅ When you will buy a used car then you need to check:
1. Vehicle History & Documents (especially the VIN – Vehicle Identification Number):
Search on Google - there are many websites that provide free vehicle history by using the VIN. Compare the paper details (model/year) with the online results.
✔ If they match, that's good.
* If not, the documents may be fake or tampered.

✔ If it sounds smooth and stable, that’s a good sign.

3. Engine Oil Level:
Check if there’s enough oil and ensure there are no leaks.

4. Radiator Water:
Check if the radiator has enough water and no leaks.
⚠️ Never open the radiator cap when the engine is hot or running.

5. Gear/Transmission:
Take the car for a test drive.
