Default Prevention of fraud on vehicles

I would like to share this tip to you how to prevent fraud especially when on vehicles.

1. Check the vehicle thoroughly. See if the actual condition matches mileage.
2. Check which parts are replaced if the vehicle is repainted.
3. Make sure the numbers are aligned properly on the odometer gauge.
4. Ask for a written statement of the actual mileage disclosed on the odometer.

Make sure that your dealers have discussed the true condition of the vehicle to you.

Yes you're right, I am referring to second hand and slightly used vehicles. I am looking for one, and somebody shared this tip to me. I just want to share this to all of the members here.

If you don't quite have any knowledge about vehicles, have a friend or someone who has certain knowledge about vehicle conditions come with you when you will make the final purchase. You might consider it a good buy sometimes but in reality, you would be spending more in repairing the car than the amount you paid for it.

There is so much written about checking the vehicles before u go out and buy it. i guess anyone looking to buy new vehicles should do his reseach thoroughly.

These issues are always involved with used vehicles . If you are not in a state to purchase new car then always try to purchase used vehicles from a trusted dealer .

There is lots of fraud in purchasing vehicles like people selling stolen vehicles by changing engine and chassis numbers. How can one know if it is original?
