Checklist of an Indian car buyer

[viveksonkhla 0]

Lately, lot of my friends have been seeking advice over car purchases from me (somehow they kind of trust my skills on this ). During the entire process of visiting different car brand shops I had pretty funny and angry experiences. There were even instances where people would ask all sorts of stupid questions from the salesmen which would have the poor salesmen running for cover or covering their face and hiding a big smile over the stupidity.

Here is a list of some of the questions I found really interesting to share. But at the same time I was amazed at the kind of factors Indians consider while making decisions on our Cars.

So here we go to make a list of some great Indian questions.

And for fun I have named this "Checklist of an Indian car Buyer".

Ok So So lete me be the first one to contribute.

1. How many service centers does the car company have all over India?

Because I will be getting my car serviced every week.

2. How cheap are the spare parts?

Because I am an ***** who manages to break my car every day so I need a regular supply of spare parts.

This one is really good....

3. What is the resale value of this car?

Because I am going to sell this car just after I take it out of the showroom.

4. How many kilometers per liter?

You know my car will be parked in front of my house for most of the time and I will manage to do a whopping 30000 KM over next 5 years so fuel economy is really important for me.

1. How many people can be seated? Can three be seated in the back?

2. What is the boot space? Will my big suitcase (read as the one Indians take to US ) fit in?

3. What is the ground clearance? Very important for our roads and bumps.

these questions appear in any buyer's mind but maybe it sounded funny to him, that customers asked the SALES guys these questions, which is obviously foolish/funny because its quite obvious that sales guy will support the product!
