Pactly Car
Buying a used car is the smartest way to drive a recent model without paying the new-car price — as long as you avoid the traps. Here is the method we recommend at Pactly Car.
1. Set a total budget
Beyond the asking price, plan for registration tax, insurance, maintenance and possible repairs. A realistic budget prevents surprises after the purchase.
2. Check the Car-Pass and history
In Belgium the Car-Pass is mandatory at sale: it certifies the real mileage. Cross-check it with the service book and decode the VIN to confirm the manufacturer data.
- Mileage consistent with the car's age
- Up-to-date service book
- Valid roadworthiness certificate
3. Test drive and inspect
A test drive reveals a lot: noises, gearbox, braking. When in doubt, an independent inspection is a worthwhile investment.
4. Secure the transaction
Sign a clear sales contract and keep every document. On Pactly Car, each listing shows a price score and verified sellers so you can buy with peace of mind.
