Hello!
And welcome to todays episode.
I will try to explain
the way I buy a used car.
Firs I try to answear at 3 questions
First:
What is my budget?
Why I need the car?
And what car it has to be?
This are the most important questions...
..answears (sorry)
to start searching a car, on internet
and...
for not to be looking for a needle in haystack
After I establish the answears for the 3 questions
I start looking online,offline
depending on how you like to search.
I usually take the firs look online,
becouse is the easiest way.
We take a look at the most important online pages
and we use advanced search
Let's say that our target is 6.000E.
and want a family car, that can get us
in confort from A to B,
without too many pretensions.
everyone does how he prefers
I chouse to avoid the ads placed by bad sellers.
and after looking at 50 - 100 ads,
you will recognize that
the reseller have the same description.
and usually is the same for all their ads.
In my country people thinks that is better to buy a car bought from another country.
Becouse the western european have a different mentality
But the car is not brought into the country by a Western European,
but by a Romanian.
Witch is thinking only at the gain.
in conclusion
the price for a foreing car is 4000E,
for the transport, the reseller pays around 2-300E.
Depending on the method,
if he brings it on own wheels,
it's cheaper.
If the brings it on a tow truck,
the truck takes more fuel,
but he can bring more cars.
Let's say that a car in Romania costs 6.000E
No matter if it's original from Ro or brought from West.
The question is : " How a reseller can bring a car from Germany (ex.)
and then to sell it at the same price with the one from Romania?"
Considering the transport price and his gain.
clearly the car was cheaper there.
Obviously it can be a crashed car and repaied
or with small malfunctions and repaired on the go.
I have met a few cases.
Ok, let's say that we have 5 favorite ads.
maybe 10 or 20.
We take number one,
we take care that the add have good quality pictures
taken with a good camera, not with a bad phone camera.
The description must be very detailed and to give us
a lot of info about the car,
not just about the standard equipment.
The standard equipment are on all cars.
Excepting the one that are full option, but with no leather,
and with no signaling light, or headlight.
At this moment I found a car
I called the seller.
Seller's story matches the add.
There are cases when the add is different then the story told on the phone.
But today I was lucky.
Now I will go to buy a car. Upss.. first take a look and then buy a car
Gopro is mounted in the frame case, so there will be a bit of a wind noise.
Ok, I Have arriverd at the meeting point.
Today's car is a Skoda Octavia.
The seller haven't came till now.
But he told me to take a look at the car.
He even gave me the keys.
The best seller.
It is better not to meet in places that are darker,
obscure,
or dubious.
At what we take a look for the first time?
