Want to buy a car but not looking for a new one? Buying a used car could be the solution. Buying a used car is not the same as buying a car that is no longer suitable for use. Choose a car that is still well maintained. Apart from saving money to buy the car itself, make sure to also prepare money for the following big expenses.

Buying a Used Car: What Do You Have to Prepare Money for?

1. Used vehicle inspection services

Even though the car is a used car, of course you want one that is still in healthy condition. You certainly don’t want a used car that gives you lots of problems after you buy it, right? Because a car with a lot of problems will make you have to spend a lot of money. In the end, the costs incurred are the same as the costs of buying a new car. Make sure you hire the services of a vehicle inspection expert who really understands everything thoroughly.

2. Title transfer due to buying a used car

Because a used car is a car that was previously owned by someone else, you need to do title transfer to ensure the owner of the car changes from the previous owner to the current owner, namely you.

How much are the title transfer fees when buying a used car? The fees depend on the region as they are adjusted to local regional regulations. The transfer process involves two categories of costs, namely those related to tax and non-tax.

3. Regular car maintenance

Vehicle maintenance costs are expenses that must be prepared by every car owner, both new and used cars. Moreover, if the car you buy is used, its condition may not be as good as a new car. For this reason, make sure you carry out routine maintenance and prepare the costs.

4. Emergency funds to anticipate unexpected car problems

Apart from regular maintenance, don't forget to prepare additional costs as an emergency fund. Used cars may have hidden problems that can arise at any time. Not only that, an emergency fund will be very helpful when you experience an unpleasant event on the road, such as a car accident.

If the car is not insured for one reason or another (for example due to the age of the vehicle), the best anticipation that can be taken is to have emergency savings
