Which kind of car you need

How many passengers would regularly use the convenience of the car, would help to select a 4-seater or 5-seater or 7-seater and etc.

Average distance it will to travel in one day helps to select a car with more economical assistance along with more low maintenance cost perspective.

The connectivity allowances, the internet structured infotainment system and the ergonomics part.

The most important is the safety features it comes equipped with ie the number of air bags and the safety ratings.

Your Pocket Allowance

Buying a 4 wheeler is not that easy. Though the EMI option is the helping hand that provides with the opportunity to purchase one.

Before buying any car, the person must calculate the exact monthly expenditure including the EMI, the rate of interest, the fuel expenditure, the depreciation of the vehicle, the other miscellaneous expenditures that may add up.

So its better to have a complete easy monthly expenditure source that may not bother you and your daily hustle.

Note: The monthly car installments including the fuel cost should not exceed 15% of your monthly pay.

Going through all the cars with same type as selected, of different brands

This point needs to be thoroughly followed before buying a vehicle.

A general survey of the selected models of multiple brands helps to crack a good deal, more options to choose from between the affordable range.

A quick internet search and instant comparison of the selected models based on the specifications, prices, features and more also serves as a helping friend that ensures an easy checkout towards the finalizing stage.

Taking test drive is a must

Buying a car with loaded features and all the other modern facilities with the best affordable price tag but with 0 comfortless, a big gap between the expectations, the smoothness and a bad driving pleasure can ruin up your savings.

So its highly recommended to take up a test drive before finalizing one.

Discussing and preparing up yourself

Once a person has followed all the steps and finalized a car, still needs to take a sit and think again if he/she is ready to take up.

Its better to delay/postpone even after going through the whole procedure than just jumping into the experience of a car owner and regret it later.

The person should be firm enough to take decision completely by himself without coming under the pressure from whichever side.

Also it is okay to drop the plan even if none is able to meet the expectations or the requirement.

This industry is highly volatile and competitive and so sooner or later one would definitely be able to own a car of the personal choice.
