The second-hand car market is thriving and there are many good deals to be had. But if you don’t know what you’re doing, it’s quite easy to land up with a car that will languish at the mechanic's garage with its bonnet open, instead of happily gobbling up miles on the open roads. The gleaming car that the smiling used-car dealer might show you may look like its brand new. Buy it and a few weeks later, your wife’s foot may very well go through the flooring because that friendly second-hand car dealer actually sold you a box of rust on wheels, very sneakily painted over to hide the years of neglect. And there are also chances that you have zeroed-in on a car that’s met with an accident or has been stolen.

This is where VeriCar steps in. VeriCar will evaluate a used car on your behalf for a fee, and will check all the aspects of the car, including the powertrain, exterior and interior condition. They will also check the paperwork and offer you the estimated market price of the car. After the evaluation, they will deliver a detailed report that will help you from getting conned. The fact that VeriCar does not have any dealings with second-hand car dealers and sellers ensures that the report is unbiased and authentic.

So if you are in the market for a good second-hand car, getting it evaluated by the folks at VeriCar before you sign on the dotted line seems like a good idea.Check out the vericar.in website for more details.
