The second-hand car market has become active recently compared to previous years. Experts, who point out that second-hand buyers can suffer significant losses from fraudsters before or after a purchase, emphasize the importance of conducting physical inspections of the vehicle planned for purchase to avoid being a victim.

While new car prices remain high, the second-hand car market has become active recently compared to previous years. Experts provided information on points to be cautious about regarding fraudsters in car buying and selling.

"CAREFUL ATTENTION SHOULD BE PAID TO THE INCREASING CUTTING AND ADDING PROCESS IN VEHICLES RECENTLY"

Auto expert Şenol Uysal, who warns citizens planning to buy a vehicle, said, "A person who is going to buy a vehicle must first go and see the vehicle physically from the outside. There are many problems with vehicles purchased online. They need to check for dents, scratches, and damages, and then they should check the damage record so that they don't waste time taking it for inspection without checking the damage record. The reason is that if they go for inspection and pay the fee, they shouldn't incur unnecessary expenses for a car they won't buy after the damage record comes out. First, the damage record should be checked, and then if there is nothing or only minor damages, they can buy it and take it for inspection. The first question they will ask at the inspection is whether they check the mileage from the brain; the mileage data should be checked from the brain. This may not match exactly at the inspection stations. Since it is taken down, they may not know either. One of the most important places is the vehicle's body, whether there are changes, whether there are processes on the chassis, processes on the undercarriage, and most importantly, attention should be paid to the increasing cutting and adding process in vehicles recently; there are many victims in this regard. It will definitely be beneficial for them to learn this," he said.

"IT IS NECESSARY TO GO TO A RELIABLE INSPECTION"

Listing the important points that need to be checked for the vehicles planned to be purchased, auto expert Uysal stated, "The airbag is very important. You know this system saves lives when it explodes, so it is important to check these parts. In the mechanical part of the engine, the moving parts, whether the front arrangements are faulty, and similar places, brakes, discs, and pads, which are vital points, should also be checked. Of course, they can be repaired, but these are the points that will cause problems. The moving parts of the vehicle should be in good condition or repaired if they are damaged. In the engine part, in diesel vehicles, turbos, injectors, and the particulate system need to be checked. It is essential to carefully check whether the engine is blowing, whether it is consuming oil, whether there is noise in the engine, such as bearing noise, skirt noise, valve noise, and it is beneficial to prefer inspections that pay attention to these points; they need to go to a reliable inspection," he expressed.

"THERE ARE STILL CARS COMING FROM EARTHQUAKE REGIONS"

Şenol Uysal noted: "The mileage should be checked directly from the brain, and we check the engine parts by performing a performance test and listening to the sounds. The car must be checked; one of the most important things is that this vehicle must be checked from the chassis to see if there is any cutting on the chassis. Right now, there are still a few cars coming from earthquake regions that have come here. Individuals took them without processing. It will definitely be beneficial to be careful about these. If our citizens do not want to get burned, they need to buy from known tradesmen. When anyone can be a seller, at least check if they have the necessary qualifications."
