Things not to do when buying a car

When choosing to buy a car, you need to consider both maintenance and repair costs. Below are some features to avoid to save unnecessary costs.

Cars with wide tires

Although wide tires can improve stability and safety in emergency situations such as sudden braking or swerving, the reality is that in everyday life, these situations do not occur very often.

Meanwhile, the cost to replace wide tires is significantly higher than narrow tires, with prices ranging from several hundred to tens of millions of dong, depending on the vehicle type and tire type.

The car needs 95 gasoline

Using 95 gasoline instead of 92 gasoline can skyrocket your annual fuel costs, especially if you regularly drive long distances.

The price difference between these two types of gasoline is small, but when accumulated, it will become a not small amount every year. Currently, many manufacturers have adjusted so that vehicles can use 92 gasoline while still ensuring performance, helping to reduce costs for consumers.

Vehicles with particulate filters

Particulate filters help reduce air pollution from car exhaust, but if they are not located near the engine (where temperatures are high), they can quickly become clogged and need to be cleaned or replaced frequently. This can lead to expensive maintenance costs.

Vehicles using dry dual transmission

While dry dual-clutch transmissions can improve shifting speed and driving performance, they are prone to overheating and have durability issues if the vehicle is frequently driven in heavy traffic or through flooded areas.

Additionally, the cost of replacing these parts is much higher than with a conventional transmission.

Vehicles with common problems

Finally, avoid buying cars that are known for "common ailments" like oil leaks, high oil consumption, transmission damage, or ignition coil problems.

These problems not only cost you more money in repairs but also cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Advice from experienced people is that when choosing to buy a car, not only base it on the initial price but also carefully consider the maintenance and repair costs to ensure that you can save money throughout the time of use.
