What should be kept in mind when buying a new car?

It is always exciting to get a new car, but deciding what to get is quite challenging as you can imagine what would happen if it’s a wrong decision. Here is my guide on how to get a car

Set your budget- For example: - Like 4-6 lakhs, 6-8 lakhs, 8-10 lakhs, or 5-8 lakhs, you should be flexible at this level. I said this because there are usually, different variants of cars between 2 lakhs and you have to compare them as well.

New or an old car - you need a real thought right now. If you are a person learning on a car, you will get a second hand. If you want it for 2-3 years, or if you have a low budget, you will get another vehicle. You know how to ride, and you want to get a new car without any problems. If you are lucky enough to have a vehicle 2yrs old and drive them less than 15,000 km, then you should take it, it will be as good as a new car.

Your needs - See what you need and keep them in mind when purchasing a vehicle. You want a luxury car, a car that gives better mileage, better power, fun to drive, spacious, and robust vehicle. Choose carefully what your specifications are (if getting a low budget car does not expect unrealistic like a car with speed and great mileage).

Check all cars - No one has ever followed this step, although you should browse all the cars in your budget. Don't be a sheep and follow the herd instead go to online sites and check all the options and not going for the one that is selling the most.

Match the cars with your needs- Look at the car according to your needs and always have an option. Compare cars online, see reviews, and customer reviews. Do not tie with any brand.

Visit the showroom- After selecting 2-3 options, see everyone personally for what they will cost you. Please take a good look at the cars, sit in them, and ask the dealer any possible questions about the car.

Test Drive- People don't take advantage of this feature (I didn't take it even when I got the car 2yrs ago, not a wise decision). You should take a test drive so that you know which car is for you or which car makes you feel satisfied with your needs.

The consumer is king- Do not forget at any point that you’re the person with the power. Don't tell the dealer what you need to do, feel free to opt-out of discussions and refuse the car when you don't want it, regardless of how long you've spent trying to decide.

Buying a car is a dream for any Indian. It is a symbol of your society. However, one should buy a vehicle as per their requirements.
