5 options not worth buying secondhand.

Very often, when looking at advertisements for the sale of a used car, it turns out that the model we like meets our basic criteria, its condition and mileage are good, but ... But, rather modest in terms of equipment. We want to get behind the wheel and gasp, but we still have to compromise and give up some modern goods. And do we really need them? Here are 5 options that you can easily give up when buying a used car or installing them later.

Alloy wheels

This is definitely an option that you may not even look at when choosing a used car. But mostly it concerns cars of the mass segment, and buyers who are drawn to the business and premium class are much more demanding on the type of car and often do not pay attention to the basic equipment. And in vain. Why? The main reason is that alloy wheels can be bought and installed at any time. Of course, there is a nuance - the original such discs of premium brands are not cheap.

Sunroof or panoramic roof

Very effective, but in practice - almost meaningless options. The sunroof has been obsolete since the 80s and 90s when air conditioning was considered a luxury and the interior temperature was regulated by opening an extra vent in the roof to force heat into the car. The panoramic roof is more interesting. It fills the interior with additional daylight, which makes the interior more spacious. In addition, it is usually a joy for children to ride in the back seats, although it lasts for about a month. Both the driver and front passenger should view it once a month. In wet weather and when the temperature drops in winter, the roof becomes an additional source of condensate.

Multifunction steering wheel

In modern cars, a steering wheel without buttons is perceived as quite budgetary. Although most mass models in the secondary market are actually still without this option, as are the basic ones from expensive premium brands. Without such a steering wheel, the problem is not a big one - after all, turning the radio and pressing the buttons on the panel is not very difficult. And those who can no longer live without such an option can easily buy such a steering wheel and install it. The most important thing is that such an option for the selected model exists in the factory version.

Expensive multimedia system

Trendy multimedia systems with large screens certainly look cool and can do a lot, but let's be honest - they do not live up to the functionality of a modern smartphone. So their main functions remain a radio with a USB port, Bluetooth and a rear-view camera. Today, all this can be additionally installed at any time, both in standard form and as additional equipment.

Leather interior

A mandatory attribute of equipment in both business and premium models. In fact, this option is quite controversial. Firstly, only expensive cars can boast of really high-quality leather, and in the mass segment and often even in the business class, artificial leather is used with varying degrees of quality. The main drawback is the uncomfortable state of the body in winter and summer. So far, seat heating in winter saves, but ventilation is not so common and owners leave such cars with wet backs in summer. Those who cannot imagine a car without leather can always order interior upholstery at the studio.
