used cars are now available in bulk in India. Thousands of car owners want to sell off their existing cars to others. Each tries to offer special daels in order to convince the potential customer. This craves cautious walking since many folks out there are frauds and are out to con you!! BEWARE!!!

Here are some steps to buying a used car in India:

1. Visit the car seller yourself and examine the car yourself
It shows that you care about what you buy and examining the car will help you to see if scratches or dents have been made.

2. Test Drive
This is perhaps the most important phase in buying a used car. Take the car out for a spin of about 5km. Check the AC, sound system and passenger comfort. Also notice if the car is making unsettling noises or giving excessive jerks. Cars with noises and jerks should be strictly avoided.

3. Checking Car History
Ask the owner of the car for complete car history. This will tell you if the car has been in a crash or has been giving poor mileage. It will also tell you how the car has been handled by its current owner.

4.Price
Negotiate a little bit. Remember the price of a second hand car is not rigid but fluctuates according to demand and current tax structures. You should be able to knock off around Rs5000-Rs 10000 with bargaing with a private owner. This trick does not work in car melas though.

5. Delivery
Make it as soon as possible and make the total payment only after checking all he papers. Watch out for PUC registration etc.

Follow these steps and you will land up with a good buy more often than not.
