How to choose a used car with confidence: 10 checks before you buy

Buying a used car is an important financial decision, and the difference between a great deal and a costly one often lies in small details. We’ve gathered the key points our inspection experts check before listing any car.

1. Service history

Ask for the dealer service history and make sure regular services were done on time. A car serviced on schedule keeps its value and has fewer faults.

2. GCC specs

GCC-spec cars are built for the region’s heat with stronger cooling and air-conditioning, and their spare parts are easier to find.

3. Full inspection report

Every used car at Al Qassim Group goes through a 150-point inspection covering the engine, transmission, body and electrical systems, and you can request the full report.

• Check the number of previous owners
