Disadvantages of buying a second hand car
- Technical problems that may exist. It is proven that almost half of the second-hand car market has technical problems. The downside is that many of them have them since the first 1000 km after purchase
- More expensive maintenance. Just because it has no warranty. If the car needs repair
major, it will cost more, but you also have the freedom to choose any service you want. - If it is a newer used car, there is a good chance that you will not find parts anywhere, not even in car dismantling.
