Do's and Don'ts
- Don't buy cars with rebuilt engine. Some rebuilders do excellent job and they do provide highest quality, but there are the others who don't. And since we don't know where and how the engine was rebuilt it's better to avoid it.
- Don't buy a car if you see the smoke from exhaust pipe - only the water steam and water condensate dripping from the tail pipe is OK.
- Don't buy a car if engine knocks or works too noisy.
- Don't buy cars with very high mileage. To be more precise I'd recommend to avoid anything with more than 230,000 - 250,000km
- Don't buy cars that have some problems with the engine even if it seems to be very cheap
- Do hire someone knowledgeable to have a vehicle inspected before you buy it.
