Why you should get it professionally done pre-purchase<\/strong><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/strong>If you are in the market for a pre-owned car, you\u2019d no doubt be taken in by the gleaming condition of the car or be deluged with promises from the salesperson that the car is in \u201cshowroom condition\u201d or is \u201caccident-free\u201d and has \u201ca low mileage\u201d. But you cannot at one glance notice everything.<\/p>\n

PROFESSIONAL CAR EVALUATION<\/strong>
\nDetermining a pre-owned car\u2019s condition goes beyond how good it looks and feels. That\u2019s where the services of a professional car evaluator come in useful. An independent and professional car evaluation provides a consumer with a thorough and factual assessment of a pre-owned car that he or she is interested in purchasing.<\/p>\n

To guide consumers in their pre-owned purchase, CASE, in consultation with\u00a0multiple stakeholders including AA Singapore (AAS), has developed a Standard and Functional Evaluation Checklist for Pre-owned Cars<\/em><\/a><\/span><\/strong> . This checklist involves a comprehensive assessment of the car\u2019s condition, including any flaws or defects or illegal modifications found during the inspection. The main aim is to give the potential buyer a fuller picture of the car\u2019s condition.<\/p>\n

The checklist has two parts. Part A records the car\u2019s informational bits, such as the make and model, registration details, mileage, etc. It also records the condition of the car\u2019s functional and visual parts, such as the air conditioning, lights, windscreen and bodywork, among others. This will be acknowledged by both the dealer and potential buyer. Part B is undertaken by the professional car evaluation centre. This is where more extensive checks and tests are performed and conducted to provide a clearer overview of the car\u2019s condition.<\/p>\n

\"\"PROPER SAFEGUARDS<\/strong>
\nThe presence of cracks and welding could suggest that the car was previously involved in an accident. Road tests will be done to pick out any abnormal vibration or sound from the engine, including the gear transmissions. The car\u2019s wheel and braking system will be tested for efficiency, uneven wear, or damage. The suspension system will be inspected for any seepage or defective components that may affect its performance. The evaluation will also determine if there have been any bodywork, accessories or modifications done to the car that do not comply with the Land Transport Authority\u2019s (LTA) regulations.<\/p>\n

PEACE OF MIND<\/strong>
\nBased on our evaluator\u2019s findings and subsequent report, a potential buyer can seek a price reduction or request the seller to do the necessary repair work before signing on the dotted line. Be wary if a seller insists on having their own evaluators do the report \u2014 only trust recognised bodies such as the AAS.<\/p>\n

AA SINGAPORE\u2019S CAR EVALUATION SERVICE<\/strong>
\nBeyond just your normal car inspection, our expert evaluators will do an in-depth check on important and key parts of the car. Among the many checks done, our evaluators will run a keen eye in determining the car\u2019s structural integrity, identifying defective engine mounts or cracks or welding to the car\u2019s chassis.<\/p>\n

Unlike that of many other service providers, the report generated by our Car Evaluation Service goes beyond a simple checklist, and instead provides an explanation of what each test is for and what the results mean. This is especially useful for those who are not technically inclined and who appreciate more information than just a tick on a particular test.<\/p>\n

With certified car technicians and the right testing equipment, AAS has helped safeguard car buyers to make informed choices and get better value when looking to buy a pre-owned car.
