Documents
A car’s documentation will give you some of the most important information you need to
purchase the car. It is advised to check the Vehicle Registration Number, the Vehicle
Identification Number, the color of the car, and the engine number which is essential
information one needs to make the purchase legitimate.
Vehicular History Reports
SAT Japan offers a thorough vehicle history report for each vehicle posted on the site.
This information will mention any outstanding damages, any history of it being stolen,
and any maintenance discrepancies. Additionally, the mileage of the vehicle is also
mentioned for you to compare and gain the best deal for you.
Price Comparison
Always check and compare the prices for the vehicle you’ve chosen; if a price point
seems too good to be true, chances are that it probably is! Hence, it is advised to
compare prices and know the market value for your used vehicle of choice to not be duped
for a faulty car.
Test Drive
If the option for test drive is available by the seller, always test out the running of
the vehicle before buying in. Additionally, this is a good opportunity to check the
mechanics of the car for yourself and thoroughly experience the quality of the vehicle.
Check under the bonnet of the vehicle for any signs of wear and tear and ask the seller
personally for any details they may have left out.
Go Cashless
It is always better to involve a third party, in this case the bank, for such
investments. Take your seller with you and ensure that you do not hand a large sum of
money which will then be untraceable.
Insurance Is a Must
SAT Japan offers insurance services for your vehicle for any damages that may take place
during the transit of your vehicle. After assessing and approving the damage claim we
offer reimbursement of any repair costs or damage recovery to ensure your peace of mind.
Protect Your Device
Cyber security is crucial when most of your purchasing is done online in the digital
age. If your device needs to be updated, do so promptly to avoid any breakdowns or
threats entering your device.
Set Strong Passwords
When you are deciding on passwords for your accounts and devices, avoid using names or
words that would be easy to predict. Add upper case and lower case letters with numbers
and other characters to avoid anyone hacking your accounts.
Avoid Phishing
Scammers typically work online by sending bug emails in an attempt to hack your account
and find out your information. Always remember that SAT Japan will never ask for your
personal information through email and if you receive a suspicious email from an
imitator, reach out to our team through info@satjapan to confirm.
Stay Cautious When Entering Bank Details
Always confirm that there is a padlock icon in the top right corner of your browser
window when you are entering your bank account details. Also make sure that there is
“https://” written in the beginning of the url which means the site is secure. Stay in
touch with your bank or credit card company when making a big payment to confirm the
whereabouts of your funds.
