Fatal mistakes when buying the first car that many people regret
Making hasty decisions, focusing too much on appearance, not considering carefully… are common mistakes that many people make when buying their first car for their family.
Buying a car is a big expense, so when buying, you should not rush to ask your relatives for their opinions on buying this or that, but remember that each person's preferences and needs are different. At first, your relatives' opinions may be okay, but after a while, you will easily get bored because in reality, it is not a purchase based on your preferences.
Not enough money but buy a car beyond the financial limit
Many people think that they need to buy a beautiful, luxurious car but do not have enough money to borrow to buy it. But car buyers must know that after buying a car, in addition to the monthly expenses to maintain the car, the owner of the car also has to worry about paying off the debt and as a result, the car becomes a burden.

| Buying a car should not be rushed but considered carefully. |
Remember that the cost of maintaining a small car like Ford Fiesta, Kia Morning, Hyundai Grand i10, etc. is about 4 - 5 million VND per month. Mid-range cars can cost about 6 - 8 million VND under normal use. Therefore, if you have money, calculate which car to buy that suits your budget. Don't be a "scholar" in front of the world and have to shoulder debt.
Mistake of buying the first thing you see
Even if you like the first few cars you see, don’t decide to buy them right away, but go to a few places for reference. Don’t be too hasty because you will regret it if there is a cheaper place elsewhere, a nicer car if you buy a used car.
Skipping the test drive is a big mistake.
Test drive the car before buying. If the buyer has driven a lot, he can easily spot the car's flaws, or if he is not very experienced, he should ask someone with experience to drive with him.
Too much emphasis on appearance when buying a car
The exterior is always the first decision for anyone when buying a car. However, carefully consider the interior factors such as whether the driving position is comfortable or not, the storage positions must be convenient, the infotainment system must be easy to operate, the driver assistance system (reverse sensor, camera, GPS, parking assist, hill start assist, sport paddle shifters...) must be effective.
Buying a car but not looking carefully at safety technology
The issue is considered the most important when choosing a car for the family. The reason is that safety equipment will help save the family when an unexpected situation occurs such as airbag system for both front and rear passengers, anti-lock braking system, electronic balance, automatic parking assist system, active braking system when detecting obstacles ahead, warning system when there is a vehicle crossing behind when reversing...
