Every day, hundreds of Portuguese people try to buy a new car, at an affordable price. Buying a cheap car is increasingly difficult and, even used ones, can also be expensive. However, there is another legal way to purchase vehicles that can cost up to 40% less compared to the price they are on the market. Either way, there are some questions you can’t help but ask when purchasing a vehicle using this method.
He says that “pawed cars have everything to be a good deal: they are offered at a price well below the market and it is possible to carry out a thorough check before moving forward with a proposal”. You may even be able to buy a vehicle for 40% less compared to the market price. Still, you need to take into account that you have to pay for the car almost immediately, in addition to not benefiting from the seller’s guarantee.
To find out if the car of your dreams can be purchased for a much lower price, simply consult the assets seized by the Federal Revenue Service, including automobiles. To buy a seized car you will have to meet two requirements. One of them involves having your tax situation regularized, while the other requirement requires that you have no outstanding debts.
Once you have found the car you want to buy, a purchase proposal follows. You can either opt for the closed letter modality, private negotiation or even the electronic auction. This last modality is the most common and is distinguished by its transparency.
Bidding is done online, in the personal area of the Federal Revenue website. In this modality, the bid amount is known to everyone. There is a start and end deadline for the auction, so proposals must respect the deadline. Furthermore, bids must have a value equal to or greater than the base value set for each of the goods. Whoever makes the highest bid gets the car. When traveling to see the vehicle, take a mechanical expert with you and ask as many questions as you can remember regarding maintenance issues.
