Jakarta – Ahead of Eid al-Fitr, used car sales keep increasing. mobil88 Chief Operating
Officer Halomoan Fischer said that the
growth reaches around 20% to 30% compared to other months and happens two weeks
before Eid al-Fitr. Used cars
that are most in demand are family cars or MPVs, SUVs, and city cars.
According to Fischer, there are still many customers
who choose used cars as their transport means for homebound trips because of
several benefits. One of them
is that used car is always ready to use for homebound trips.
"It is different from buying a new
car, which takes a lot of time. Usually, car
registration process takes one to two weeks,” he said. (Liputan6.com, May 18, 2018).
Moreover, Fischer added that a customer can bring home the used
car right away from the dealership as long as the administration process is
completed. Therefore,
the customer does not need wait for long until the car is readily available. Another benefit is that the price of the used
car will not go down by much if the customer wants to sell it again.
People increasingly tend to buy used cars for
homebound trips. It’s just that when buying used cars, there are several things
that must be paid attention to in detail, because if the customer buys the car
carelessly, they may just end up regretting it. Moreover, the time is limited because it is
already close to the homebound trip period.
One of the things that must be considered is the
car’s condition. “Make sure that the used car you will buy has a
good quality, in terms of exterior, interior, engine, etc.,” Liputan6.com (June 7, 2018) wrote.
Potential buyer should not hesitate to ask for
the car’s history from the seller. Then, it is better to check whether the car
was involved in a crash that damaged its chassis and whether it underwent
routine maintenance. The
characteristics of a car that was involved in a crash include disproportionate
door, scratches, and uneven surface of the body.
To check whether the car was submerged in a
flood, potential buyer can check for stains on the car seat, because stains
caused by a flood are difficult to remove.Moreover, there
is usually a musty smell that is quite unique and strong.
Next, check the completeness and authenticity of
the documents. To check, make sure that the chassis and engine numbers on the
car match the numbers stated in the vehicle registration document (STNK) and
vehicle ownership document (BPKB).
Potential buyer can also verify the documents at
the authorized agencies. Borrow the documents and bring them to the Vehicle
Document Registration Center (Samsat) where the car is registered to check its
status. Documents that are complete and authentic will ensure the legality of
the vehicle ownership process, so that there will be no problem in ownership
transfer, etc.
