The correct choice of a car in the secondary market is determined by the initial preparation for the purchase. Andrey Ermakov, an expert in transport project management and logistics, spoke about how not to miscalculate with investments.
According to him, the main expenses appear where the risks were not taken into account initially.
In such cases, defects are detected, expensive parts are required, there are delays in delivery and problems with documents. All this quickly turns the expected benefit into a loss.
Ermakov advised, before buying a car, to immediately assess the amount of work, the cost of spare parts, customs payments, the timing of repairs and the projected price of the car in case of restoration.
If the calculations do not converge, it is better to refuse the purchase - the winner is not the one who buys at any cost, but the one who does not get involved in a losing deal in time. The attractive appearance of the car should not turn the process into excitement.
The specialist added that typical mistakes in the market are repeated for years. Buyers often rely on descriptions and photos, do not check technical data and VIN.
