Buying\na second hand car in Punjab or any other location requires you to be extremely\ncautious. The cars at dealerships may look pristine from outside. However, it\u2019s\nthe mechanicals which could spell trouble later. You need to be wary enough to\nexamine the car yourself or get a trusted professional mechanic to look at it\nbefore making the purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s\ntake a look at the possible options in Punjab to buy a second-hand car:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Car dealers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The\nmost common option people usually choose to get a used car from is a nearby\ndealer. Don\u2019t go by the mere looks of the car; instead, ask for the maintenance\npapers such as receipts of visits to service stations, new spare parts bills,\netc. Ensure there are no taxes or challans overdue. Try to get as much\ninformation as possible of the car, including accidents if any. Stay away from\na vehicle that might have met with an accident. You can easily get a second\nhand car loan when you purchase a car from any reputed car dealer in Punjab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Individual sellers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A\nknown person is the best one to trust when purchasing a used car. Chances of you\nbeing duped by someone you know are far less than when buying from private\nsellers. Usually, you end up getting a good deal from them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For\na used car loan<\/a>, you can apply online or\ncheck with your known financer to get it financed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online classifieds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Another option is to surf online classified sites in Punjab such as OLX, Quikr and others. Select the brand and model of the car and the radius of the location. You can choose the car that suits you best and connect with the seller. Please note the prices quoted are generally higher on these sites and there is always room for negotiation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Used car outlets of OEMs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many\ncarmakers such as Hyundai, Maruti Suzuki, Mahindra, BMW, etc. also operate in\nthe used car market. Maruti Suzuki retails used cars from its TrueValue\noutlets, Hyundai from First Advantage, Mahindra from First Choice, Mercedes\nBenz from Proven Exclusivity and BMW from Premium Selection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All\ncars from such outlets are thoroughly inspected and serviced. While the price\nof cars from these outlets is way higher than other options you might have to\nbuy a used car, you are likely to get free services and other goodies with your\npurchase. Loans from multiple financiers are available here. Make sure you\ncheck the used car loan interest rates of each provider before choosing one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automobile portals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Online\nautomobile portals like CarTrade and CarDekho too list used cars for sale. There\nare options to choose a verified car on these sites. A verified car means the\nvehicle has been thoroughly inspected by their professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
