The contract is a legal instrument that gives greater security in time to close a business of buying and selling. For trade in used vehicles, it is also essential, experts say. A deal without assurances can cause headache and loss.

Engineer André Luis Alvarenga gave the car from a dealer with a promise to receive the money in 30 days. It was in February. The company closed its doors and even today he did not see the $ 40 mil. “A garantia que eu tinha era o meu documento, só que ele já tinha sido assinado e a pessoa ficou de pagar neste prazo”.

The signed receipt is like a blank check. With him in the hands of the dealer can trade the car freely. So be suspicious of companies that require early delivery of this document. The authorization for the transfer of vehicles should only be completed with payment.

"The owner must deliver only the receipt of the car only when you have a document that guarantees the receipt and not at the engagement of the service," says Rui Pires, president of the Association of Vehicle Dealers Used Cars in Belo Horizonte. He says that whoever wants to sell the car should never leave the signed receipt with the key and the documents to the dealer sell the car.

The sales supervisor Antonio Henrique Filho was the victim of a car dealership. The company that sold the car to him no longer exists. He said he paid cash for the vehicle which was funded by the former owner. The dealership had pledged to repay the balance of the debt, which did not occur. "These people will continue to be very well off, with car of the year, spending money, while people like me, who paid a thing in sight, will continue losing.

How to evaluate the used car before buying

In addition to problems with the documentation, the consumer must also be attentive to other details, such as checking the conditions of the bodywork and the mechanics of the vehicle. A detailed evaluation of the bodywork helps to identify potential problems that are often omitted by the sellers.

Giovani Heredia, instructor of mechanical Senai, gives some tips for those who will buy a used car:

Painting: "In painting the vehicle may appear evidence that the car was repainted. The original painting is well polished, without scratches or splashes. The corners and edges are very much alive and well defined by the manufacturer's original painting. If there are risks and spills is an indication that the car has received new paint.

Doors: "The cracks of the doors must be compared. The worker shall compare the right-side door to the left side of the car. The corners of the doors must be found with the body as evidence that all is right with the bodywork. "

Tires: "The tires give evidence if the car is in perfect condition or not. You should check the tread wear is evenly. If uneven wear is a sign that the vehicle has a problem. "

Flashlights and lanterns. "Water droplets may indicate that foreign exchange was made of the flashlight or headlamp.

Luggage: "When you open the trunk of the person concerned should raise the carpet and see if the curves of the bodywork are well defined. If any ripples and the ink is different is a sign that the piece was reformed.

Badminton: "We need to see if there is great distress in the main part, and if the wheel becomes stiff when the car is straight."

Seat belt: "It is important to make sure there is excessive wear on the piece that the belt fits."

Pedals: "Wear the clutch pedal and brake can show if the mileage that appears on the odometer was not altered.

Engine: "The person concerned should raise the hood and see if there is evidence of leakage in the engine or an abnormal noise. Different noise may be a sign that the car had engine tampering.

Test-drive: "In time to walk with the car, stay at a speed of 40 km / h and sudden braking the vehicle. At this point, you can check what is the behavior of the car. He can not pull to the right or left, indicating a sign of problems in the suspension, and the noise of the vehicle can not be changed "
