Test drive the car.
If the telephonic conversation satisfies
you, make an appointment and go for a long test drive and get a good
idea of how well it handles in different driving conditions. Also,
see to it if the car is comfortable or not. Since it's a test
- drive of a used car, you'll need to pay attention to all
aspects of driving.
These are the few questions one need to ask himself :-
-
Does the transmission shift smoothly?
-
If you're driving a manual,
does the clutch fully engage before you take your foot off the
pedal?
-
How well do the brakes work?
-
How is the alignment?
-
Does the car drift to
the left or right?
-
Do you notice any shuddering,
vibrating, rattles or squeaks?
-
Perform some turning maneuvers
on a side street. What is the turning radius like?
-
Is there any blind spot?
-
Drive over bumps and dips. How
is the suspension?
-
Now get on the highway. How
good is the acceleration?
-
Does the cruise control work?
While you're driving, think about comfort :-
