how to spot defects in as is where is cars

[aaaban]

Hello tsikooters!! I need advice, I'm planning to join a bidding of a 95 and 96 toyota corolla gli. According to the contact person these are company owned cars used by the Managers of the company. Di raw pwede road test sasakyan, as is where is daw ang mga yun, di ko lang natanong kung pwede iistart. Given the situation, pano po ba makikita ang defects ng sasakyan without undergoing road tests.

What questions should I ask? First time ko po kasi bibili ng sasakyan kaya la ako alam sa sasakyan. Thanks po.

Personal opinion ko lang to ha.

Beware sa mga company cars dahil karamihan sa mga yan laspag at walang maintenance.

sir mahirap yan. lalu na po 1st time kau bibili. i suggest magsama nalang po kau ng mekaniko sa bidding. or better luha nalang po kau ng corolla sa mga taga buyandsell bussiness. mejo mataas ang price pero malamang maganda unit nila

IMHO kung "as is where is policy" din lang maghanap ka na ng iba.

thanks po sa mga nagreply. Kaya pala masyadong mababa ang floor price baka nga laspag na. Baka masayang lang pagod ko at kelangan ko pa mag undertime sa work. thanks po. speaking of mechanic baka may maisusuggest kayo.

Baka mabili mo ng 80K ang pa-repair mo naman nasa 100K sayang lang pera mo. tingin ka na lang dito sa tsikot carfinder pwede mo pang i-test drive.

One good way is to look at lots of specimens of the particular model you want. That way you can compare if something is not right on a particular unit.

Go to those big warehouse style used-car dealerships to at least have a general idea. Even if wala kang balak na kuning unit sa kanila.

better check the car.. magadala ka mekaniko para sure pa check from chassis, engine, suspension... wala naman masama kung titignan on the spot at papacheck eh..

When buying a car lalo pag used na, the rule of the thumb is, always TEST DRIVE before buying. You won't know anything about the car unless you get the feel of it. Malay mo baka pag bili mo nyan katok na pala makina or you drive 1 block and the suspension pieces fall apart di b? Di bale bumili ng mas mahal ng konti at least na-test drive mo and alam mo condition ng car kesa sa walang test drive baka mag-:cry:
ka sa laki ng repair bills, downtime, and sakit ng ulo.

yup sa dami ng choices sa used cars ngaun, stay away from company cars or cars used for public purposes unless it's so so super cheap ...

even it's so cheap, your mindset should be to resell it. hindi ko pa din gagamitin yan kahit less than 100k na 95/96 corolla
