The condition of some second-hand cars is very nice and their price is also attractive. However, it requires a strong professional knowledge for picking a suitable second-hand car. It’s annoying to buy a troublesome car or trial car if you don’t well know them. Here I’d like to give you some tips for picking a second-hand car.
First, check the vehicle license. You need to check the car documents whether complete, whether there are delinquent or illegal behavior when you buy a second-hand car. If the licenses are incomplete or have some bad records, you’ll have lot of trouble to go through the relevant formalities after buying the car. There have been many lessons worth learning to consumers.
1. Seller's identity cards. You can judge whether the seller has the right of using and disposing the car by checking the seller's ID cards.
2. Motor vehicle license. This is the certificate for motor driving. Check the vehicle registration certificate. Every car must get registration at the local Vehicle Administration; you can call the Vehicle Administration for helping if necessary.

Second, check the Driving Status. You can have a clear idea about the real situation of the vehicle after a comprehensive scoring of the vehicle's age, maintenance level, performance. You can start from the following points:
1. To find traces of the incident and hidden problems. Carefully observe the door to see if it repainted. All any new paint shows that cover up the defects. Whether the entire vehicle line is smooth: because the body lines are the most difficult to evenly repair after collision. Check the paint's finish is uniform; all parts of the body sealant are complete; original welding point is complete.
2. Identify the true age of the car by viewing the masked rubber on the pedal, which revealing the vehicle's actual age. Generally speaking, the life of a masked-rubber is about 30,000 kilometers or so. 3. Check the tire wear carefully, especially front wheel. If the pattern is flat without edge may bring you great trouble.
4. The appearance and functioning of the engine. The engine is the heart of a car, not only because the cost of the engine generally accounts for one-third of the car, but the engine determined the performance of the car. Therefore, you should pay special attention to the engine when you buy a second-hand car. Generally speaking, the car will be repaired by the seller before putting it in market. Thus it’s difficult to judge the true Driving Status of a second-hand car according to the appearance. Only the engine quality can reflects the true value to a considerable extent.
