YOGYAKARTA - Paying off used car payments, it is still not guaranteed if the matter of buying and selling cars is completed by one hundred percent. In general, there are still some things that buyers have to do so that the car is really ready to use and safe to use. Want to know the treatment after buying a further used car? Let's look here!

Because like that, used car buyers must always provide several reserve funds, the size of which adjusts to the condition of the car. Spend these funds according to the priority.

Here are some things that must be done after you buy used cars:

Clean The Exterior And Interior Cars

Most likely, the used car that you choose and buy has been made as thin as possible by the dealer or the seller. Even so, for the convenience and health of yourself and your family, they should clean the exterior or interior of the car so that the rest of germs, viruses, dirt, or bacteria can disappear.

In the past, this point could be underestimated. However, since the Covid-19 pandemic entered Indonesia in March 2020 until now, cases of car cleanliness, houses, or some items near you have become a very vital issue.

Change All Kinds Of Oil And Liquid

The oils, lubricants, and fluids in the car mean a lot to support the smooth performance of various vital components of the vehicle. Especially when we talk about the engine area, brakes, radiators, as well as transmission.

Therefore, you should quickly replace the engine oil, brake oil, cooling liquid (coolant) radiator, perkenneling oil, as well as used car gardance oil that you buy before driving it.

You see, we don't know of course when the last time the vehicle was used. Long-time uncirculated oils can decrease in quality, and if the old oils are not replaced.

Check the Wheel and Legs

Sometimes, used cars have issues with the legs. Especially if the unit purchased is relatively old.

This is normal because the legs are parts that are heavily affected by collisions between wheels and the surface of the road. Don't forget if the surface condition of the road on non-toll roads or even toll roads in Indonesia often has holes with dimensions and various depths.

So, after buying used cars, don't forget to check various parts of your legs, such as shockbreakers, tierods, ball joints, bushings, bears at your trusted workshop.

Also ensure that the condition of the impact damping system on the legs is still good.

Do Spooring And Balancing

The legs and tires of used cars that you buy also require maintenance called smearing and balancing.

In short, the spooring can be referred to as the re-decay of the wheels. There is also a balancing, namely switching the wheels so they don't sway and cause vibrations on the steering wheel.

These two things become more meaningful, because the road is uneven or porous, which is almost often found when driving in Indonesia.

Change All Filters In Cars

Not only oil and lubricants, all used car filters (filters) components that you buy are also highly recommended to be replaced. For example, oil filters, fuel filters, air filters, cabin filters.

The reason is, you don't know of course when all the filters were replaced last time. Meanwhile, for these filters it is quite important, namely 'catching' all the dirt in the air, fuel, oil, so as not to limit performance in the fuel room, runway, and others.

Transfer And/or Change The Name Of Vehicle Letters

Buying used cars with complete letters is a must. Otherwise, you can have problems with the law in the future and it will definitely be detrimental.

After buying a used car, you still need to take care of the name of the Motor Vehicle Owner's Book (BPKB) and the Vehicle Number Certificate (STNK). This is important for the convenience of annual or 5-year tax payments from your vehicles during use.

If you buy used cars outside the domicile area, first take care of the transfer of vehicle documents, before changing the name of the vehicle.
