A Handy Checklist for Buying Used Cars in Bangalore

by Maruti Suzuki True Value Consultant

With the economy going through a crunch these days, buying a new car may not be a viable option for many. Hence, more and more people are exploring the used car market to fulfil their requirement of owning a vehicle without burdening their pocket.

Buying a used car is not just economical but also a smart decision considering that cars today are designed to withstand the test of time. Why strain your pocket when you can opt for an economical option and own the car of your dreams? Further, with the variety of options available at popular dealerships in a city like Bangalore, you can make your choice without having to compromise on the design, features, or specifications of the car.

However, finding a good used car requires doing a lot of homework, especially with so many popular options available. Whether you are looking for an Alto or a Swift or other used cars in Bangalore, here is a checklist you can follow to ensure you find a good deal.


1. Budget

It is easy to get swayed by the variety of used cars that are available at a dealership. However, to avoid buyer’s remorse after making the purchase, it is important to chalk out a budget and a financial plan for the same. Doing this will help you avoid overspending and make a rational decision that you and your family will cherish in the long run.

2. Suitability

Another crucial point on the checklist would be to check the suitability of the chosen car with your requirements. For instance, you may be able to afford a luxury 7-seater SUV that might give off an aura of great prestige, but it would be highly impractical if you mostly travel alone. Hence, buyers should critically evaluate their needs and requirements for buying a car and stick to the car types that best fit the bill.

3. Dealership

If you are a newbie to the used car market, try going along with an experienced person or stick to used car dealers with a good market reputation. You can read online customer reviews or visit various dealership websites to know about their customer service journey, purchase process, car verification, warranty, finance, quality checks, etc. This will give you an idea of their reputation and trustworthiness.

4. Warranty

Warranty is a very important aspect in buying a car, be it brand new or second hand. Having a car armed with a warranty keeps you protected against costly repairs and damages. While most of the brand-new cars come with a warranty, it might not be the case with used cars. So, always check if your chosen used car dealership is offering a warranty and carefully read the things covered under it to keep away the chaos at the time of need. While you might have to pay a little extra for the same, it can save you from bigger expenses later on.

All in all, a decision taken in haste while buying a used car can result in a grim ownership experience. Keeping the above checklist handy when buying used cars in Bangalore, whether it is a Swift or Alto, or any other car, will ensure peace of mind for the times to come.
