5 Practical Ways to Check a Used Car

Since its inception, the market of used cars has suddenly
escalated at an unprecedented rate for the past few years. In
fact, surveys show that the number of people who buy used cars
is almost tripled when compared to the number of people who buy
new cars.

That is why many people are enticed to buy used cars because it
is gradually becoming a trend in the car buying industry.

However, it does not necessarily mean that buyers will just take
the process of selecting used cars for granted. Hence, it is
important to take note of the ways to check the car prior to the
closure of the deal.

Therefore, for people who wish to know the different ways on
checking the condition of the used car, here are some pointers:

1. Test drive

There is no better way to check the condition of the car than to
do a test drive. In this way, the buyer will be able to know the
actual condition of the car and its parts like the brakes,
accelerator, etc.

Also, the buyer will be able to detect at once if there are some
“clunks” and rattles on the used car, even if the test drive is
just a short trip.

2. Personal inspection

Aside from test-driving, it is also important for the buyer to
personally inspect the details of the body make-up and its
condition.

In this manner, the buyer will be able to identify any signs of
rusts and damages, the condition of the tires, oil leaks, etc.

3. Mileage check

Usually, an average user or driver will consume 12,000 to 15,000
miles in a year. In this way, the buyer will be able to know the
approximate age of the car by looking at its mileage.

4. Mechanic check

Another way of checking the condition of a used car prior to its
purchase is to seek the help of a mechanic. This may cost the
buyer some charges but the money would surely be spent for a
good cause. The mechanic is the best person who could instantly
assess technically and professionally the condition of a certain
car.

5. CARFAX Report

Knowing the history of the car is also one of the best ways to
know the real condition of the car. Hence, it is important for
the buyer to seek the help of CARFAX report in order to know the
full details of the used car’s history.

Take the proper steps and research your purchase. Doing so will
guarantee a happy car buying experience.

If you have an older car it may have R12 refrigerant in the air
conditioner system. You can still buy R12, but it is very
expensive. If you are ready to convert your system to R134, here
is a brief explanation of the procedure with a few insider tips
to help you. To begin you will need a conversion kit with all
the necessary materials. It will include: 2 new adapter
fittings, 2 -3 cans of R-134, and a hose with adapter. Once you
have all the materials, you can begin the process. The first
thing you have to do is have the R12 recovered with a
refrigerant recovery machine. (It is illegal to just open the
valve and let it out in the air.) Now that the air conditioning
system has no pressure, it is time to install the new valve kit.
At this point some people freeze up (no pun intended) because
they are afraid of mixing up the adapters on the high and low
pressure ends. Don’t worry, they are different sizes. The bigger
one goes on the low pressure side of the system and the
refrigerant hose will only connect to the low side valve. It is
pretty hard to mess this up. Now that the adapter valves are
connected, it is time to start the car and put the air
conditioner on high. Turn the blower fan to its highest setting
as well and open the windows. Grab a can of R134 and hook up the
hose and T valve that came with your kit. With the hose hooked
up to the can begin to twist the T valve until it punctures the
can. Then open the valve to let some freon out and purge the air
in the line. Turn the can upside down and hook it up to the low
side adapter valve. Now slowly open the valve and let the Freon
flow into the system. At this point the compressor will begin to
cycle on and off. Don’t panic, this is normal. Keep adding Freon
until the system begins to cool. You can feel the low pressure
line begin to get cool and condensation will accumulate on it.
(Do not grab the high pressure line. It can burn you.) You
probably will not need all 3 cans and be careful not to overfill
the system. If the air conditioner is still not cooling after
the second can, something is wrong. You may have a leak in the
system or some other difficulty. Do not be tempted to keep
pumping Freon in the lines. If the low side line is cold and
dripping with moisture you are done. If you have a air
conditioning manifold gauge set, the low side should have a
pressure of 40 - 50 psi. Good luck and stay cool!
