Teased speedometer & five check points before you buy a used car.
The most frequent query that occupies the purchaser of handled car is, if the odometer shows
the real covered kilometres. Is sold Volkswagen Golf 1.4, model 2002, with 34.000 km, 9.000
Euros. Occasion, you think. It can be little overpriced, but where I will find car in the
market handled with so much few kilometres in speedometer? Attention however.
Your joy should be accompanied from hesitancy and contestation. Strong is the car that, with
base his category, would be supposed to cover on average above the 12.000 km per year, to
present itself that it didn't make nor 7.000 per year? There are a lot of salesmen in the
market, professionals and private individuals that resort to what is called teased speedometer
the car while they have became experts doing this... Moreover, the good quality of their
modern cars allows they present a general picture near that of new.
Because therefore the kilometres that are entered speedometer have decisive importance in the
sale, while they guide your choice, they determine to a large extent the price and constitute
guide for the maintenance and the potential repairs that will need you make, you make sure that
they are real. That’s how:
Before the market The five check points: Be consulted firstly the odometer and you see how much
kilometres it is quoted. Then you examine this number with critical disposal. Observe certain
elements that testify the deterioration of car. Their picture should correspond in the degree
of deterioration that indicates the odometer.
This elements should not neither have aspect of bigger deterioration than quoted, neither show
completely new, while it can they were replaced in order to throw ash in the eyes and they
justify the kilometres that is entered the odometer. Follow the directives with the following
hierarchy.
1. Cavity in the handles Above in the sheet-metal, in the inner department of door
behind the handle, the scratches reveal the age of car. If it is very many, you calculate use above 80.000 km.
2. Investments Cavers of pedals, the
handhold the handle and hubcap wheel is irrefutable witnesses. It should not they present
advanced deterioration or intense burnishing before the 100.000 km.
3. Rubbers It should not
they are neither worn out neither brand new, if the car has in the odometer less from
20.000 km (if is in effect second, means that him has replaced, make suspect for so much few
kilometres).
4. Speedometer In the proportional meters, you search carefully for imprints from fingers in
the back surface of transparent plastic bodies. Search for deterioration in the screws or in
festering of the table of bodies of that witness that it has been opened. Observe the
alignment of numbers between them (only the bad alignment of digit 9 in left is physiologic,
while indicates the passage in a superior digit).

5. Historical service If you buy from private individual, suspect his refusal you give the
tariffs of last repairs and service. Only them you they will allow to determine the real age
of car. Examine well dates, what it should they succeed the one the other without voids or
interruptions in their rhythm. Do not accept photocopies that are easily counterfeited.
Afterwards the market Him you stepped? If you are victim of not physiologic damage for the
kilometres of car or found itself forced you advance in not programmed repairs, not you delay
in your reaction. Ask the examination of car from a expert. Show in a engineering that has not
been involved in the sale for a first opinion. Do not limit itself in the opinions and in the
impressions of friends and acquaintances.
In order to compose still better upcoming - legal obviously - reactions, you search for proofs.
A label in the engine that shows the last change of lubricant or a flown book of maintenance by
the previous householder in baggage’s door (it has happened and this) they are even forgotten
by the shifty persons that turn speedometer.
Your next movement is you organise your defence. Be specifically consulted your insurer, if
your contract provides legal protection, or you are addressed in company of legal protection
for control by special and specialised lawyer in the subject. In case of litigation The proof
that speedometer he is "teased" recommends big fraud and it renders the salesman amenable or
he is private individual or tradesman.
If you decide to resort to the justice, potentially you achieve reduction of price (where sued,
the salesman, will return part of sum) or even the complete inversion of sale. In the second
case, you return the car and the salesman entire the sum of market. Have the right to require
the expenses of action of transfer, as well as part or all the sum of repairs that you realised
and which you would make if the quoted kilometres in speedometer were true. If the market
became from tradesman, good it would be you are addressed in the General Secretariat of
Consumer, or in some union of protection of consumer.
Suspect for tease Does not exist certain concrete suspect make, but more certain categories of
models and ages. Lightly handled (newer the 2 years). It is mainly corporate or rented cars.
Because their general picture is good, is justified easily a shooting from the 60.000 in the
15-20.000 km. Handled big age of (older 6 years). The kilometric tiredness attenuates from
also - even if - tired picture of car 8 or 10 years.
Most precarious models they are these with the fame of stability and reliability that they keep
still good optical, but their real kilometres they would frighten the purchasers (cf. Mercedes,
Audi, BMW, Volvo…) Proportional speedometer with grommets they are more easily in the shooting
from digital, that require electronic tease.
