Hi guys,
I'm considering buying a VZ Acclaim. I'm trying to compile a list of things to check. Am I missing anything? I'll be looking at cars with under 100k kilometers. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.
- Leaks under car or in engine bay?
- Diff/transmission noises during gear changes while driving and stationary?
- Brake shudder/squeaks?
- Air conditioner is cold and noise free in operation?
- Electric aerial isn’t damaged?
- All exterior lights are working?
- No timing chain rattle when started?
- Handbrake works good.
- Unevenly worn rear tyres?
- Electric windows are functioning properly.
- Keyless unlock works. Door actuators work during un/locking.
- Bonnet and boot struts stay up
- Door handles, glove box and centre console aren’t broken
- Any strange sound during full lock slow turns?
- Check computer voltages
- Is there a Steering column rattle at highway speed
- Rear park sensors work
- Electric Mirrors work
- Roof of bonnet material, good condition? Bad condition could be a sign of being thrashed?
Thanks!
