Many people have doubt whether is it safe to purchase cars from Delhi or not we will clear all your doubts regarding should you buy used cars from Delhi or not.

Delhi is considered as a hub for second hand used cars because there are various reasons for it like According to National Green Tribunal (NGT) Diesel cars can only run for 10 years in Delhi and petrol cars can run for maximum 15 years due to which the rates of second hand cars in Delhi are cheaper as compared to other states.

Not only direct customers but dealers and agents also do business by purchasing cars in bulk from Delhi and sell them in their states,they buy the cars at cheap rate specially diesel cars and sell them at some higher rates.

There are many places famous for used cars in Delhi like:-

1)Karol Bagh

2)Rohini

3)Pitampura

4)Vasant kunj

5)Vikaspuri and many more.

Most of the people from other states like to buy Diesel cars from Delhi as their validity is expiring soon but people from other states re-register the car in their states and extend the validity period of the car.

People from other states should take care about the following before purchasing the car:-

1)The biggest problem that is faced by other states people is about NOC (No Objection Certificate). It is a legal document issued by regional RTO for re-registration of the vehicle from one state to another state. So without NOC they can’t register their car in their state and the car becomes useless as it can’t be driven at that place.

Some Dealers/Agents don’t give NOC to their customers even after full payment of the vehicle is done. To safeguard from this fraud the customer should sign an agreement or affidavit or stamp paper where the seller agrees to give the NOC to the customer in a particular time period.

Usually it may take approx. 10-20 Days for NOC to come.

Transfer of ownership of the car is also important.

2)Don’t Trust your favourite youtuber or influencer who told you about the car in his/her video on social media. As they are not responsible if you purchased a bad car,Inspect and check the car in detail, take your time.

3)You can check the car yourself or you can book a mechanic who can fully check the car on your behalf and tell you whether you should buy the car or not or is the car worth the price told by the seller, what should be the value of that condition car.

Another and the best way to check the car is to take that car in company service centre and ask them to scan and check the car. It may take some time and money but you will be fully satisfied with the vehicle. Check the service record and service history by which you will also get to know about the accidental history of the car.

4)Another problem that may arise while buying used car from Delhi is of DOCUMENTATION.

Many people just look the car physically and not check the documents which is very important before buying any car from any state.

In document you should check:-

Owners of the car, Original RC, Variant of the car, Manufacturing and registration date , Insurance, Pollution, Challans, Warranty etc.

5)Buying car from other state is more viable decision if you are getting car is cheap price and good condition because you also need to pay the taxes/charges in your state,transportation charges and if you purchase car in high price you will eventually end up in loss.

In some situations you can also get refund on the road tax you paid.

6)Try to negotiate as much as possible by telling the dealers that you have to bear other expenses as well like transportation cost,registration cost, and much more. Don’t agree in whatever price they say. Also visit other dealers in Delhi which will help you in getting an idea of prices and conditions of the car.

7)Don’t hesitate in asking for a long test drive tell them you will pay for the fuel. From long test drive only you will get to know everything about the car like suspension,performance,mileage,breaking and much more.

8)Try to buy only first owner cars because second owner cars are less reliable and you have to spend more money on their maintenance,repairs,parts replacement.

Also try not to buy cars that are driven more then 1 lakh kilometres

Meterback or Meter Tempered cars are also common in used car market, so ask genuine service records from the dealer or request the showroom of that specific car company to provide the service records.

In service record also you need to check whether the service is done recently or is done very earlier by matching the kilometres also.

9)At Last, try to get car which is less Re-Painted. Small touching in some areas of the car is normal but fully re-painted car may indicate any accidental history of the car.

Usually front and rear bumpers of the car are painted which may be normal but other parts of the car should not be painted like fenders,panels,bonnet,doors,roof etc

Some cars are in original condition which is known as bumper to bumper original you can prefer to buy these type of cars it may have some scratches and dents but is not painted at all.

Also check the tyres condition and how much percentage of tyres is left and condition of the Stepney if the Stepney is used or not.

Pro Tip-For extra safety,while you purchase the car you can ask for some warranty/Guarantee of atleast Engine and Gear Box of the vehicle upto certain time or certain kilometres (eg-upto 1,000 km or upto 3 months) as some Reputed dealers in Delhi provide this type of facility to their customers which will increase your confidence on the car and keep the deal transparent.

I hope all your doubts regarding should you buy used cars from Delhi is cleared. And there is no issue in buying used cars from Delhi just follow all these points so that no one can fraud with you and bring home your favourite dream car at affordable price.
