    Guys can you help me formulate some questions dun sa seller when buying used car? So far eto pa lang nagagawa ko.

    List of questions:

    1. What is the current mileage of the car?
    2. How and where is the car maintained? Maintenance records?
    3. What are the parts replaced and in what ODO readings was it replaced/repaired?
    4. Are you the first owner?
    5. Copy of OR/CR
    6. History of the car?
    7. Upcoming maintenance issues?
    8. Shocks / (Pang Ilalim), when it was replaced?
    9. Daily route of the car?
    10. Farthest place you went with the car?

    Thanks!

    Ako I usually check the car first, tapos kung may obvious issues sa oto, i usually ask them the opposite. For example, if I saw a panel has been repainted or masilyado... I'd say "Mukang orig pa pintura ah, nabangga na ba to?", if dishonest (usually mga 2nd hand dealers na nakausap ko) will say "ah oo, orig yan, walang bangga yan..."

    or if you saw the radiator narepair na (tanso na) o kaya may gasket-gasket na di maganda pagkalagay sa may waterpump o sa head gasket mismo, ask the obvious "di pa naman naoverheat to?"

    Hehe, pansin ko lang, if you reverse the question (instead of asking whether a negative happened, ask a seemingly positive/compliment-type of question), you'll know kung nagsisinungaling hehe.

    Pag tinanong mo kasi derechohan like "baket may masilya to?" usually may rebuttal agad that will sound minor...

    Basically, know what to look for before you ask a single question.
