One of the most difficult decisions to make in life is buying a new car. While paying a lot of money, one generally tends to make sure that his decision is correct.Following are some of the things to be kept in mind while buying a car.
BUDGET: - This is the first thing to be thought of. Most people have a good idea of how much they will be able to spend on their cars. Having a budget limits your choices( it may be for good or for bad). For people who have to buy their first car, having a budget is usually the most crucial thing.
RELIABILITY OF THE CAR:- Now that one has a budget and one has narrowed his/her options, next step is to talk to the owners of the various models of cars and get to know their view points. With this you can get an idea of how frequently the car breaksdown and what is the support service of the manufacturers.
SPARE PARTS:- One has to make sure that cheap and adequate spare parts are available in the market. One of the greatest drawbacks of Fiat is the unavailability of spare parts.
FUEL ECONOMY:- With fuel prices rising by the day fuel economy has become an important factor while buying a car.
LOOKS AND EXTRA FEATURES:- For some people these the most important things but not for me. For me, points 2, 3 and 4 are as important as looks. With the presence of extra features such as defoggers, fog lamps, auto windows etc, the cost increases accordingly and hence it depends on the buyers budget.
