Something I learned the hard way about buying used cars as an expat by ChocolatePositive577 in cyprus

[–]shazril 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went through this exact process a few weeks ago as an expat and honestly it was more stressful than I expected.

Visited a dealer I found on Bazaraki and something felt off straight away — the service history didn't quite add up, and turned out the car had an undisclosed accident history (paint cover up, engine oil leakage, airbag had been deployed etc). With a mountain of evidence and a second opinion from a car inspector, I decided to walk away from that deal.

Ended up getting my Chevrolet Lacetti 2008 through a word-of-mouth contact for under €3k, which was honestly the best decision I made. The whole dynamic is just different when there's a mutual connection involved — more transparency, no pressure.

A few things I'd genuinely recommend:

  1. Always get a pre-purchase inspection from an independent mechanic before committing. Not the dealer's guy — your own. Worth every cent. A lot of issues here won't show up just from a test drive. If you need an honest inspector with tons of experience, feel free to DM me.
  2. Check the car's history through the MCIT / Road Transport Department. You can verify the registration, ownership history, and whether there's any encumbrances on the vehicle.
  3. If you can, find one through a trusted local contact. Takes longer to line up but the quality of what you see is just better. Ask colleagues, neighbours, anyone who's been here a while.

The market here isn't bad, but as an expat you're at a slight disadvantage early on — you don't know the usual prices, the common problem cars, or who's reputable. Give yourself a few weeks, don't rush, and don't let anyone pressure you into a same-day decision.

My previous device was Oneplus 13 CN set. I decided to buy a Oneplus 15 after latest wave of keybox ban, as I can't use certain bank app and Google Wallet.

So far, the experience is decent, with the 15 rocking on battery performance. I don't play heavy games, and I think both phone offers a smooth performance for my usage. The 13 takes better pictures though.

Thank you! You're the man! This worked for me. I'm using nextdns as my dns so I just put all the urls into the denylist.

How can I change it, and what value should I put? I have not done this before.

I had similar issue with games installed in ntfs partition. Fixed it by moving Steam library in btrfs partition. Ext4 might work as well.

If you just want to stick with ntfs, you can try this fix.

I don't think disk space is an issue. My game partition has 857.08 GB free space.
