Experience buying a car for Tet

As Lunar New Year approaches, many people are thinking about buying a new car to take their family out and if they have certain "tricks", customers can buy a car at a bargain price.

Below is a quick summary of car buying experience for this year's Tet.

Don't be too loyal to one brand.

Before buying a car, many people have the mentality of “sticking” to the brand they know before. However, fierce competition in the market forces manufacturers to constantly improve quality, as well as promote creativity in products to be able to “grab” customers from competitors.

Therefore, in the same segment or price range, customers can consider many products from different manufacturers. Before going to a dealer, buyers should search for information on the Internet and consult with experienced people to have more than one choice, avoiding missing out on an interesting product.

Determine car buying goals

There are a wide range of cars on the market and typically each model is aimed at a particular group of customers and is suitable for a particular purpose.

Therefore, during the research process, you should ask yourself and answer questions related to criteria such as the distance you often travel, the number of family members, the parking space, etc. to avoid wasting time or being disappointed later because the purchased car does not suit your needs or usage circumstances.

Consider your financial ability and incentives

Cars are a valuable item and not everyone has the financial means to spend money on them. Understanding that, car companies can apply incentives to attract consumers.

To become a smart consumer, customers should regularly update information about promotions, discounts, gifts or accompanying after-sales policies, compare between car models in the same segment, thereby making wise choices.

Don't be afraid to bargain

In fact, many manufacturers' published prices can be much higher than dealer prices and include discounts, not to mention markups if sales targets are exceeded.

To achieve the set target, dealers and sales staff are willing to lower prices or give away additional products, increasing the possibility of selling the car. Therefore, do not be afraid to bargain to buy a car at the best price.

Don't "discriminate" against old cars

When preparing to launch a new car model, dealers often reduce the price of older models to clear out inventory. If you are careful, you can buy a previous model at a cheaper price without much difference in quality and features compared to a new model.

Don't "forget" to test drive the car

Some people may “forget” to check the quality or ask the salesperson to let them test drive the car, which leads to problems after use. If you are not skilled enough to check the car, it is better to ask someone with experience to go with you and let them do it for you.

In addition to the above “tips”, one more thing to note is that buyers should update the regulations and standards for vehicles circulating in Vietnam. For example, according to the roadmap for applying emission standards, from the beginning of 2017, imported and domestically assembled cars must comply with Euro 4 standards.

Besides, don't be too lazy to ask questions, but ask the dealer staff to answer all questions related to the car you intend to buy, from warranty policy, technology, features... to make sure you don't regret after making the transaction and receiving the car.
