What are the most [common](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23170/10-most-common-accounting-mistakes-of-small-business) car problems? \ ## Answers ### Answer by user While selling your car in India you should look at these 5 things as the top priority while selling your car. \ **1- Documentation** \ This is the most important factor while selling your car in India because there are a lot of legal issues that people face generally while documenting. Generally, a common error that a lot of people make is that they delay the owner transfer, and generally the second or the third owner whosoever is buying your vehicle might go through an unforeseen accident, and ultimately the responsibility goes to its original owner on paper irrespective of whoever was driving it. So, never neglect your documentation, documentation should always be at the top priority while selling your vehicle. Whenever you are selling your vehicle always have a NOC because generally vehicle owner transfer can take one to two weeks so for that period of time you can have a stamp or a NOC that you are not responsible for from that point of time towards that vehicle and you have sold to that respective person. \ **2- Negotiation** \ Always look for good options while selling your car. Generally, you can get a good price for your vehicle if you sell it to a direct customer because when you sell it to a second-hand car dealer or to someone who is a third-person knowing some other person who wants a vehicle or a few sell it directly to the car dealership. You can find different prices for your vehicle through the value that you will be getting for your vehicle depends upon your vehicle’s brand, kilometers, and the condition that it is at but if you look for a good deal you can find a difference of 20,000-30,000 as well for what you're getting offered and what you get actually if you make some efforts. \ **3- Service Record** \ Always before selling your vehicle you should get all the service records updated by default. Keep all the service records updated if you get all the services from the authorized showroom so you should keep a log of all the service history so that the person who is buying a vehicle has a clear idea about how much the vehicle is driven at what point of time and is the service done on a regular interval or not. \ **4- Payment** \ Do care about the payments, never fall into the trap of some people saying to you that they'll make you a payment after the vehicle gets transferred in their name or if they try to convince you that they will transfer you money after a few days or few weeks. Always try to get all the payments done on the day, you hand over the keys to another owner because when all the documentation is done then they can run away and you can just have a disappointment and nothing more. So, always keep in mind to have clear documentation and all payments should be cleared out before handing over the keys. \ **5- Parts** \ Before selling your vehicle if there is some defect in your vehicle then it is your responsibility to either get it replaced or you should inform the owner about the part but do keep in mind that you never have to take any guarantee for any part of the vehicle. \ Once it is sold then it is the entire obligation of the owner who is buying that car so, you should not be obliged or be forced to be obliged to the cost of any part being broken or being replaced after you have sold your vehicle. So, if there is any part that needs to be replaced or repaired then notify the owner of the vehicle to get it replaced or else you get it replaced from your end, and before selling you should include that while selling in your cost. \ From all these 5 points according to me the most important thing to look at is documentation because a lot of people fall into this trap and get a lot of problems due to not transferring the vehicle to the other owner's name. So, always keep your documentation very clear and prescribed so that you later don't get into any trouble. \ ### Answer by Harsh Dhanesh Dubey There can be a few common problems that occur in your car due to some minor negligence that you make often or your attention doesn't go on those parts of your car. Yes as we all know that vehicles have a lot of mechanical parts and can have some problems but not to worry there are solutions to avoid those minor problems because some minor problems if you ignore them on a continuous basis for a long period of time, can create some issues in a longer Run so it's better to have precautions than cure.\ \ **1- Battery Problem\ \** A very common problem that a lot of people don't pay attention to is battery issues. If your vehicle is ideal for a very long time and you don't take it for a spin and are standing in your parking lot for months then your battery can go dead. \ When you try to start your vehicle it won’t, due to low battery, and to find the solution to it you will need to get it changed or replaced for starting your vehicle or a temporary solution is a jump start. But if you want to avoid this problem then you should take your vehicle for a spin once a week so that your vehicle's battery doesn't get drained off and do take care of this that whenever your vehicle is not being used then no electrical parts inside your vehicle are kept open because, in that case, the battery your battery can get drained really soon. \ **2- Car running to one side\ \** This is a really very common problem that occurs on a lot of vehicles and this problem of the car running to one side either left or right can happen just because of disbalance of wheel alignment and this wheel alignment can have issues due to some minor factors if your vehicle goes through a bump at a higher speed or if your tyres get worn out or simply if your vehicles tires weight balancing is not done properly you should take care that your wheel balancing is done properly because it is risky at higher speeds if your car is running to one side secondly your tires can also get worn out really fast. \ **3- Engine Overheating** \ Engine overheating issues can be created if your engine oil level is low or if your engine coolant is not sufficient or either of the two liquids. If you are running on the low level then engine heating problems can occur and else there are a few more minor issues due to which the engine can overheat. You should not neglect this problem at all and get all your few levels to the mark up to the mark and if there is fuel level if there is cool and engine oil up to the mark content if engine heating is creating a problem then do get it checked at your mechanic with a mechanic. \ **4- Brakes\ \** A very common problem that a lot of people face after monsoon is that after monsoons or during monsoons is that vehicle starts to make noise while braking this happens due to some dust and water being stuck in the disc pad and the brakes but, once your car gets dry and even if then it is making noise then it means that your vehicles break have been worn out and you need to get the brake pads changed to get them changed as soon as possible because making noises while braking indicates that your this breaks have been worn out and neglecting it can put you into serious trouble. \ **5- Tyres\ \** A lot of people don't pay attention to their tyre often people neglect Getting their tires changed but this can create a lot of problems your vehicle can have serious breaking issues and you can call it to another vehicle even your stability gets hampered so getting tires changed at prescribed intervals is really very important also you can check at your you can check your tires worn out indicators given in between the grooves of your tyre. \ **6- Low Mileage\ \** Though in India people pair lot of attention to this problem by still a few people don't even get to know about this problem or simple solution to this is to look at the prescribed mileage that your company is offering and what you are getting in actual and you can also consult to other vehicle owners which have the same vehicle as you and do that what actual mileage you are getting because a lot of people don't pay attention and don't even measure their mileage you should definitely look at Your mileage and if you think that it is low then you should definitely get it to check that your mechanics there can be issues with engine tuning due to which vehicle is not giving appropriate mileage. \ **7- Low Ac cooling** \ This problem of an August during summers because in winters monsoon people generally don't need AC but during summers when its too hot outside and you are craving for AC then it can create issues generally AC works perfectly fine in new vehicles but as we all know that mechanical parts are degraded day by day and it can happen that you are vehicles AC has low gas in it so you should get a cooling gas refill in your AC if your AC is not performing at an optimum level even if your air filter is not filtered out or if your AC filter is not cleared away then also it can create cooling issues which should be cleaned and sorted out. --- Original Source: https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/94274/what-are-the-most-common-car-problems Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
