Planning to buy a used auto? Well, here are some tips to keep in mind before deciding on a 2nd hand vehicle. Firstly, inspect the car visually. Check the tire condition, fluid level, and bodywork and try to find out the potential problems like rust, damages or oil leak.
It’s a must to take the car for a test drive. The road test enables you to verify its essential components such as accelerator, brakes, etc. Switch the radio off while driving so that you can check any abnormal sounds from the car like scraping, whining or clunks. In case of any such sound it’s better to shift. Always get a reputed professional mechanic while investigating the car who will easily pick out the potential problems which are otherwise unknown or confusing to a lay man.
Make a point to get the CARFAX report of the selected car. It offers a vivid description on the car’s history including its past owners, previous mileage, recalls, service records, accidents and more.

An overview on the Chevrolet Beat
Filed Under Cars & Reviews | Leave a Comment
The Chevrolet Beat first arrived at the New York International Auto Show in 2007. The car was designed at the GM’s South Korean studio and its running prototype is manufactured in India. Its engine displacement is compact, small and eco-friendly. And, apart from the petrol versions, there is a LPG version too these days.
The car gives 18.6 kmpl on highways and for cities the mileage is 15kmpl. The model is powered with a sixteen valve DOHC (Double Over Head Camshaft) which churns out great power and also a torque of around 79bhp at around 6200 rpm, 108nm at around 4400 mm. It’s a small car and is a good performer if you do not cross 60kmph.
Finally the car is armed with special features such as an automatic temperature regulator and rear spoiler which are integrated to deliver a balanced drive and super fuel efficiency. The traditional rear and front suspension offers a comfortable ride and smooth handling.
