Car Buying Hacks - Part 1

Kia Seltos is one of the most popular cars in the last 3 years.

The company has sold more than 5 lakh cars with 60% coming from Seltos. My dad bought the middle variant 2 years back for around 16L. Very soon the whole city of Mangalore was filled with these cars.

Now the manufacturer wants to sell the new model to make more money.

Have you ever wondered what happens to the test drive cars then? They go on sale at a bargain price.

If you’re low on budget when buying a brand new car just wait for 6 months. The test drive cars will be on sale.

Three things to remember:

1) The dealer will try to pass it on as a mildly driven first hand car. Never fall far that. Always treat it like a 2nd hand car.

2) Do not pay as per the age of the car. Pay as per the kilometers driven. Deduct 1.5 to 2% of the car’s value for every 1000 kms driven.

3) Ask for extended warranty and to fix the dents and scratches if any.

The dealers are very open to negotiation coz they want to get rid of it asap. All test drive cars are not great for purchase. The more number of drivers who test the car the more the clutch gets damaged. Prefer automatic cars when buying test drive cars. Also brake pads would be damaged a lot. Check that out and ask the dealer to refurbish it.
