Insidious phrases in car sales ads: What should alert the buyer?

Buying a car is a responsible step that requires careful analysis of ads. Some phrases used by sellers can hide tricks. Consider seven such phrases.

1. "Sat down and drove away"

This phrase can mean that the car has hidden technical problems. The seller tries to give the impression that the car is ready for operation without any problems, but you should be careful.

2. "No investment required"

Usually this phrase means that the car does not require additional costs. However, it can often be an attempt to hide defects that will appear later. After the purchase, it may turn out that the investments are still needed, and possibly considerable.

3. "All details by phone"

The seller may try to avoid detailed information in the ad, encouraging the buyer to call. This may be a sign that there are aspects of the car that the seller does not want to cover in writing.

4. "Bargaining under the hood"

This may indicate the willingness of the seller to lower the price if the buyer discovers any problems during the inspection of the car. It is worth carefully examining the car and finding out the reason for such willingness to trade.

5. "Check at any service station"

At first glance, this seems like a positive point, but the seller can insist on checking in a specific service with which he has an agreement. This may limit the possibility of an independent assessment of the vehicle's condition.

6. "Not beaten, not painted"

This phrase needs special attention. A thorough inspection of the body for hidden damage or repainting will help to avoid unpleasant surprises.

7. "Please do not disturb car dealers"

The seller may not want to deal with professional resellers, which may indicate a desire to sell the car quickly, perhaps due to hidden defects.
