10 risks when buying a car from a "gray" dealer

Beginning of the year is characterized by the opportunity to buy a car at a discounted price. Car dealers tend to sell out expeditiously stale product to make the pavilions and parking for the brand-new models. However tempting offers discounts may conceal the danger buy "gray car. This concept is familiar to most of cell phones, but it is also inherent in the car world. We were 10 risks that threaten the buyer, who came for the purchase of the "iron horse" in the showroom to the "gray" dealer. 1. Lack of presales. Unauthorized dealer is not prepared to release the car in a big way, and it is more than 70 options, and the new owner runs the risk of a machine that can take even the first mile. For comparison: the violation of this rule, the official dealer threatens to revoke its license. 2. The risk of using counterfeit parts. Buyer pays for the car, which already could dig mechanics technical center, interacting with the "gray" dealer. Replacement of original parts to fake a potential owner will not see until the first breakdown, but to show him his case would be problematic. 3. "Flies" with a guarantee. Counterfeit items say about third-party intervention in the mechanical part of the car. The term of the warranty period, a new car more often than three years, but use it are often not meant to be. To the chagrin of his owner "fly off" with a warranty at the first TA. Of course, if a motorist will be inspected by an authorized technical center. There are jokes with "non-native" parts do not like. 4. Lack of factory warranty. Another "underwater" stone for the buyer is hidden in the loss of factory warranty. Unfortunately, the workmanship are not perfect and the cars with him regularly descend from the conveyor. Products sold by authorized dealers, is taken into account in the rating system sales. If the machine is implemented third-party seller in its database. 5. Ckruchenny adometr. Small "gray" dealers driven cars in small batches and do not always auto transporter. There are cases when the delivery vehicle by carriers. Believe cons: the first - "neobkatanny" engines are loads. The faster the car will be gone from the plant to the auto show - the more likely the seller will make a profit. And the second minus - "wound" on the mileage adometre simply twisted. There is consumer fraud. 6. Lack of adaptation to the Russian climate. The Russian winter is still one of the coolest. Cars produced in Europe and the East, to adapt to our natural conditions only in the sale of authorized dealers. The machine, purchased from a "gray" the seller, in the autumn and spring seasons can throw to the owner a lot of trouble to restore its technical condition. 7. Delays in issuance of the car. This diagnosis affects virtually all "gray" dealers. When signing a contract of sale car buyer will state the date of the keys, but in fact the waiting period can be delayed for several months. A variety of excuses not differ: delayed auto not deliver the car you ordered a complete set, model the desired color will be next time, etc. 8. Difficulties with the return of the advance. This amount varies depending on the final cost of the car. Paid by the buyer in the hope of a period specified in the contract of sale to sit behind the wheel of his car. However, we advise potential owners of brand new cars to prepare for the procedure for refund. It's not always easy, as the formal conditions of the dealer has not broken. The treaty set the legal nuances that are buyers of attention did not even pay. And here is where the question of refunds, representatives of the dealership may argue that the customer had declined the car itself, and simply decided to withdraw their money back. 9. Reward Manager - a way to accelerate the car. Maybe someone is troubled, that is the story of bygone days. Not at all! To popular models, which even in the current difficult economic conditions are successfully sold, a lot of wishing. And among them are bound to have someone who is willing to pay at 200-300 (one more?) Dollars more for something that does not wait for the next auto and get the cherished keys now. 10. Dealer metamorphosis. To catch "gray" dealers in fraud, you can only "hot" pursuit. They are easy to change names, factual and legal address. So, grasping the seller, for example, one year after buying a car in the same place you can find very strange company. And finally. To avoid becoming a victim of unauthorized dealers before buying a car is desirable to find a list of official vendors interested in the model. Find them easily on the site of the automaker. We wish you successful acquisitions!
