Buying a Car is an art!
Car was a luxury in the past. Now
it is a necessity. Car Owner numbers are multiplying day by day with liberal
Bank loans even to middle class common men.
A number of points are to be taken note of at the initial stage of
selection, for keeping a Car in fit condition for a reasonably good period of
time, when you go to buy a car paying lakhs of rupees. Proper selection will
give you the pleasure in driving it.
Soon after you decided to buy a car, decide
whether it is with diesel engine or petrol engine.
If you travel for more than 1500 kilometres
in a month, go in for diesel car; otherwise, petrol car is advisable. Note that
there is a talk that diesel prices may scale up to 90% of petrol prices in the
near future and this point needs to be taken into account in your decision to
buy a car.
Cost is the index of the quality of Car
When we want to purchase a car, we take
into account its price also. Arrive at the amount you can pay and the amount of
loan you need. Study the interest rates of Banks offering vehicle loans.
*Select the Bank, whose interest
rates are low. Scan the offers of the manufacturers. Sometimes dealers also
notify offers like free-insurance.
Keep an eye on maintenance
Many potential car buyers desire to know which
care is with the least maintenance expenses.
Their selection depends basing on this and
they go on enquiring about this point with persons known to them. Generally the
response will be mixed up with some confusion. In this context, note these
points:
* Quality of any two cars of the
same company will not be the same.
* No two drivers drive a car
with the same skill. In the maintenance point of view, no two owners take the
same care.
Therefore, as far as maintenance is
concerned, we can arrive at only an estimation. In fact, it is not that easy to
affirm that the maintenance cost of a particular car is low. However, the
following fundamental points may give an idea about it.
Drive and assess
Not confining to a single model, select two
or three cars. Drive each of them. Have your family members also beside you.
Discuss with them. Now you can take a correct decision.
* Observe the structure of the
car both inside and outside, whether spacious or not.
* Do you feel comfortable
in driving? Is the ride smooth on rough
roads, on speed breakers and on damaged roads? Causing any body shake-ups? Whether
comfortable or not and free leg-space is available in the front and back.
* Test its pick-up, engine
strength and its brakes. Observe the performance of its AC. Analyse these
points and arrive at a decision for a car that suits your perceptions.
It is natural to fall in a dilemma as to
how so many points are to be studied when they are first timers to buy a car.
Take the guidance of an experienced person for selection of your new Car.
Comfortable ride in a new Car needs such precautions to be taken.
When a new brand of Car is released into
the market, reviews relating to the Car can be found in top-class dailies and
weeklies. Depend on them for taking preliminary decision. Advice of
experienced self-driving Car Owners may be sought.
