Buying a used car is supposed to be a simple, straightforward matter, but can turn out to be otherwise. If you’re lucky, you’ll come across a previously-owned ride without issues and hasn’t been tampered with, but most of the time, this isn’t usually the case.
Unless you’re absolutely sure you know what you’re looking at, there are plenty of pitfalls awaiting the used car buyer. Usually, this involves being unable to spot red flags, problems or potential issues, most of which can be hidden from plain sight.
Take, for instance, flood-damaged vehicles. Given the high occurrence of these from the wave of flash floods in recent times, a major worry a lot of buyers have when purchasing a used car is wondering if the unit they’re eyeing is free of such damage. After all, repairs can mask this to the average person, enough that they wouldn’t be able to tell.
That’s where buying a used car from a reputable, trusted dealership, one which can certify the condition of the car to be free of such damage, makes a world of difference, because it eliminates any guesswork and, more importantly, worries.
One such company promising zero flood-damaged cars in its inventory is myTukar. It employs stringent checks and processes to guarantee that the vehicles sold under the company banner have not been involved in floods.
This involves a rigorous 160-point inspection, starting from understanding the full history of the car to inspecting every nook and cranny under the hood – nothing is left out to ensure all cars are free from major accidents and floods, so you get a quality drive.
The extensive 160-point inspection includes checks on the engine, steering, brakes & suspension, transmission & clutch, exterior & interior, as well as the underbody & under the hood. If corrections or repairs are required, the necessary is carried out by myTukar’s Refurbishment Centre, which ensures that the repair and replacement of parts are performed correctly to make the car as good as new.
The state-of-the-art Refurbishment Centre carries out stringent and detailed work on both interior and exterior, including body & paint correction and detailing & hygiene processes, according to “myTukar Certified Pre-Owned” standards. Upon completion, this earns the vehicle a myTukar Certified badge.
Another known issue practiced by used car dealers is mileage tampering, which a buyer will be unable to ascertain. Here, myTukar stands out by openly declaring that the cars it is selling all show the original mileage. The company guarantees that all its myTukar certified cars’ mileage are non-tampered, meaning that what you see on the odometer is what the car has actually clocked.
Additionally, the company offers further peace of mind to buyers by backing up each vehicle it sells with a warranty and free service, differentiating it from other used car dealers. Used cars are often sold in an “as is” condition, usually with no warranty or after-sales service offered.
However, all myTukar certified cars come with a one-year extended warranty that covers both engine and gearbox, as well as 2X free service. Standard for every car it sells, this provides peace of mind for customers and makes their car ownership hassle-free, because the car maintenance cycle and the hassle that comes with it are taken care of by myTukar.
Aside from all these segment leading features, the company is also offering a no questions asked, five-day money-back guaranteed policy if you’re not happy with your purchase. All this makes a vehicle purcahse from the brand absolutely worry-free.
