    Person conducting a test drive in Jakarta, Indonesia

    Sometimes an old car may impress you as there are numbers of car lovers in Indonesia who maintain their car till their last moment of sale. Some car users believe in installing impressive interiors to make their cars unique. Some manage the classy look of their car by adding broad tires and rims and keep on researching the new gadgets to be installed in their car. Some change their car exteriors into the convertible. If we talk about Indonesia then you may find very classy and impressive cars which definitely hook you.

    This means to say, it might possible that any one of them is going to sell his car. Obviously, when you look at these types of cars in the dealer’s arena then it might be possible that you make your mind buy the particular car. This phenomenon is also applicable when you want to buy the simple old cars from the dealers or from your near ones.

    When this type of situation arises in your mind then it is recommended to test drive the particular car to find it suitable for your expectations. But, to test drive a car you should know about the things that are kept in mind while buying an old car.

    You may read our blog to know more about it.

    “Be Alert When Buying an Old Car In Indonesia

    Now, after taking all your decisions now comes the time of Test Drive and the questions that you have to ask from the dealer or the seller.

    • How much old this particular car?
    • What is the engine displacement of the car?
    • Is gear shift and the paddles are working fine?
    • When it was last serviced? Also, demand service papers from the seller or car dealer.
    • What is the tire condition?
    • Is its suspension working fine?

    So after you get the answer to these questions from your dealer then you may initiate for a test drive. While you test drives the car then keep all the answers in your mind as you have to cross-check the condition of the car. Let’s start the test drive.

    Keep Enough Time For Test Drive

    When you opt for a test drive then keep an extra hour to test it from all the aspects. Drive the car for long distances to check out the loopholes in car components. Try it on high as well as low speed.

    For deep testing, you can opt for any car training area to test its performance in all types of road conditions. It will help you to remove your confusion regarding the suspension of the car, condition of the gearbox, steering wheel coordination, etc.

    If the car is fitted with the infotainment system then try it also to check out the clarity of sound and the functions of every icon on the infotainment screen. You can also try to park the car which helps you to look out any sudden bounce in the car.  

    After your test drive, you have the answer to these questions

    Q.1 Did any noise coming from the interior chamber of the car?
    Q.2 Did you felt any sudden jerk while driving it speedily?
    Q.3 Did you felt jumping type experience while in the car?
    Q.4 Did you felt any unusual vibration in the steering wheel?

    If you find any yes in the above questions then you may opt for another car. As it will not cover your expectations. Do not waste your time and start a search to find the reputed dealer.

    Negotiate With Your Dealer If Your Find The Car Suitable For You

    If you find the car that suits your expectations then it’s your chance to negotiate with the dealer to bring the car in your garage.  But, always remember to cross-check all the documents related to car chassis and engine numbers to avoid any inconvenience.

    Be Confident While Going To Select Your Car

    Confidence is the quality of a perfect woman. She always tries to do her best in her life. If we talk about buying quality then women are known to be the most perfect creation around the Globe.

    But, when there comes the moment to buy a perfect car for one’s need then it becomes a difficult task to select the car due to the number of car brands and their variants. Most important thing is that each brand has its own specifications which somehow differ from other brands.

    When you enter in any showroom then you sometimes feel confused that

    • What type of car will suit me?
    • What would be the color of my car?
    • What may be the possible safety features that I need in my car?
    • What should be its engine displacement?
    • What should be its capacity?

    There may be more number of questions that may distract you while selecting your dream car. In this confusing stage, your decision making nature will help you to come out from this dilemma.

    But, how can you bring the confidence in your selection? We are here to help you to find the solution to your questions.

    Your first step will be to go online and search for the automobile portals to compare types of cars with their reviews. There is a number of car portals which are providing the information of each and every car. These portals provide you the flexibility to compare the number of cars in your price range and know about their specifications along with some other important factors. You may analyze the number of cars according to their performance and take your decision to buy your car.

    Reach On Final Decision

    You have to check out the mileage, color which suits you, specifications, prize, exteriors, maintenance cost, and obviously the reviews of the car. After analyzing all these things you can make your mind to buy a particular variant.

    But, when you visit the showroom then it might be possible that your mindset may change by listing the company’s representative information as they are expert enough to bring you under their consideration. Here, you have to use your sense and collect all information regarding your car that you selected while reading reviews online.

    We are not saying that you just stick on online selection. You may check out other variants as well but the problem is that you may miss your calculation that you did before entering the showroom. As maintenance cost increases with an increase in the car cost and fuel consumption also increase that may go out of the yearly expenditure that you want to do in your car.

    Have patience while making your last decision to buy your dream car. Have faith in your decision and initiate to buy the car.

    Avoid Following Others Choices

    Sometimes we come under unusual thinking that it will be good if I consider the choice of others who own their car. But, keep in mind that you are going to buy the car for your own, not for others. So, if you totally rely on other considerations then it might be possible that you may feel some inferiority complex after buying the car that you bought on others’ decisions. So, rely on your decision with full perfection using your internal senses. It may save you from any wrong car buying step in the future.

    Make your mind and bring your dream car to your home.
