Even the most experienced driver is not immune to misconceptions and can firmly believe in postulates that, in reality, do not correspond to the truth at all. According to cartore.ru, this applies not only to such an issue as selecting a battery by car make, but also to many other points. What are we talking about?
Warranty – indeed, it may seem like a panacea that can protect from all troubles. However, it often turns out that no one bears any warranty obligations towards you, or they are very conditional.
As an example, take a broken radio – however, the warranty on all electrical components is only one year. Despite the fact that when buying, a five-year warranty on the car was mentioned. The official service is not always willing to help for free – even if the car is still under warranty. For instance, if the suspension breaks, the service center will prove that the car owner is at fault – and you will have to pay for the repair.
Indeed, this is certainly not polishing the windshield. In case of damage to the paintwork, it will be restored only if the car underwent daily body diagnostics at the dealer. The warranty on rust only covers through corrosion of the metal. Note that you will have to pay for the technical inspection yourself, because at official service centers this service is practically two to three times more expensive.
However, you should not rush to give up the warranty either – at least until you have driven ten thousand kilometers. During this time, all the car's flaws will emerge. If nothing serious has happened to the car in the first year, and warranty services are unreasonably expensive, many simply refuse the warranty.
The main factor that most motorists pay attention to when buying a car is fuel consumption. However, the figures shown by the manufacturer mean only one thing: the car was tested by a pilot, with ideal weather and ideal road conditions. Feel free to add a few liters on top – which is especially relevant considering traffic jams and city driving. And if your car, according to the passport, consumes only 12 liters, the actual consumption is 15-16 liters per hundred kilometers.
