The Seller: Now at your fingertips, you can get the car you want easily. However, doing due diligence can save you a lot of hassles and from stories that touch the heart.

Get a trusted mechanic: Now this is very important before you get that car, especially if you are getting a fairly used car. This will save you from the hassles of buying one part or the other sooner than later. Also with their diagnostic vehicle machines, they can inform you if the car has any existing issues.

Car Particulars: No brainer you will say, till you are stopped by the Vehicle Inspection Officer (VIO). Ensure all your car particulars are complete and not out of date. From your plate numbers to tinting permit, ensure they are up to date. Also, if your car is for commercial use, get all necessary documents so that you don’t get into any troubles with the officials.

Insurance: Now, we all do not pray for accidents. However, uncertainties are bound to happen. Getting the right insurance policy is important for that car and also for you. With our Bancassuranace partnership, you can get your car insurance directly from the bank while you’re taking out the money to buy that car. That is getting all done in one stride.
