Classified website OLX separates 10 valuable tips for anyone looking to buy a new or used car through online classifieds
With the Internet, the process of buying a car has become a much easier and more practical task. In Brazil, there are numerous websites and platforms that offer advertisements for new and used cars, which makes the process even easier and increases the number of options available. However, it is necessary to pay attention to some details to make a good purchase and not fall into scams.
Even some car manufacturers, such as GWM, now offer the possibility of purchasing a brand new vehicle in just a few steps. Thinking of helping those who want to buy a vehicle online in complete safety, the classifieds site OLX has collected some tips for making a good purchase. Check:
- Negotiate directly with the vehicle owner or authorized seller and the person who will purchase the item. Avoid negotiating with third parties, such as relatives, friends or acquaintances;
- Ask any questions via chat and official channels of the platforms, avoiding taking the conversation to messaging apps, which are less secure environments and lack support and suggestions during the negotiation process;
- Always plan a visit to view the vehicle in person before closing the deal and prefer public and busy places, such as shopping centers and supermarket parking lots. Go preferably accompanied and during the day;
- Before closing the deal, request a Precautionary Inspection from an accredited Detran company and go with the car owner to have the inspection carried out;
- Make payment only to an account in the name of the vehicle owner and verify details directly with the owner before depositing;
- If you are selling, confirm the bank details of the account into which the value of the vehicle will be deposited;
- The seller and buyer must go together to the notary’s office to make the bank transfer and the payment must be made only after the transaction has been completed at the notary’s office;
- Negotiate directly with the buyer. Be wary of buyers who simply mediate the deal;
- If the offer comes from used car shops, do not forget to check the CNPJ and the legality of the establishment’s activity;
- Deliver the vehicle only after transfer of documents and confirmation of payment.
