A while ago, it rained heavily in South Korea for several days. News reported that many places were affected by floods to varying degrees, and some used car lots were not spared. After the rainy season ends every year, South Korea's second-hand car trading market will inevitably flow into water-soaked cars (called ' water-soaked cars ' in Korea). In principle, water-soaked cars should be scrapped, but some unscrupulous traders will not give up the opportunity to rip off people. . This article will share with readers two simple knowledge points, which can be used as a reference when buying a second-hand car. Of course, if the content of this article offends you, you can express your views in the comments.
First, when buying a second-hand car, just look at the condition and price. It is easy to buy a damaged car. The condition of the car mainly refers to the year and month of delivery and the itinerary. Many people think that the car is in good condition because the delivery time is not long and the kilometers are not many. In addition, some cars in good condition are also very cheap, making it easy for people who ignore economic laws to buy them hastily. The prices of second-hand cars in South Korea are relatively transparent, and the prices of cars in similar condition are not much different. However, the prices of some vehicles are obviously cheaper. It can be suspected that they are flooded vehicles and the like. You need to check the details in detail. This article will not go into details in this article.
Second, don’t trust the promises of second-hand car dealers. Some unscrupulous used car dealers in South Korea play a game of words. Some people will keep promising to be 'accident-free cars', but what consumers buy is water-damaged cars. If a consumer goes to a dealer to ask for an explanation, the dealer will say: 'I only said it was an accident-free car, and I never said it was not a flooded car.' At this time, even if the consumer has evidence such as recordings, it will be difficult to win a civil lawsuit. . Therefore, when buying a second-hand car, you should not just trust the dealer's promises. You must read the vehicle performance record book* yourself.
* If the used car dealer gives you false records, you can ask for a refund.
When buying a second-hand car in South Korea, you must not be greedy for cheap. In fact, there are resellers in every industry. Goods in good condition and cheap prices will definitely be taken away by peers with a keen sense of smell and eventually sold to consumers at or above the market price. So when you see a cheap and good second-hand car in Korea, you should calmly think about why others haven’t bought it yet. In fact, this may be a trap waiting for ignorant consumers to take advantage of it. If you have objections to my opinions, please leave your opinions in the comment area.
