Thoughts on buying used cars (lemmy.zip)

Hey wanted to know if the hive mind think it's a good idea to buy a car just off the warranty (150.000 kms). Found a BYD Dolphin for almost the same money of a similar ICE car. Any tips on what things I should check?

Edit: the battery is covered until 500.000 kms.

Like everyone else is saying, make sure to check the battery health, but otherwise just treat it like any other used car. Take it to a shop you trust, tell them you might be buying the car and to tell you everything they can about it. If your country has something similar to a CarFax (basically a background check on a car), it would also be helpful to pull that as well.
