Should I go for brand new or second hand vehicle?
Hi everyone,
I am planning to buy a vehicle and would appreciate your advice on the type of vehicle I should go for, i.e., brand new or second hand ?
a. I am concerned about the resale value of the vehicle.
b. My budget is around 40,000 QAR.
c. I would only be using it for day to day travel from work to home, within Doha travel (shopping etc).
d. Taking the above into consideration, what are the vehicles that you would recommend?
Thank you.
Hasannah, Never mind , choose from the other good ones of your liking ......... but be patient ......... go slow once your mind says yes to the selected one ................... Leave the time waster aside ........
@WT, which part is racist?
@acchabaccha, it is not my view, I was merely narrating what I heard.
Is it called The Nissan Sonny in India ?
If you have negative views of Indian assembled Nissan, you can go for ones not assembled in India. You can get the information from the dealers here.
This is racism.
Thank s everyone for chipping in.
@MM I have heard bad reviews about Indian made Nissan Sunny.
Well the deal we have is amazing I think you should visit our showroom once and leave the rest after that.
A new licence person & a new car is NO match at all ..................
Rizk, We need to help the fellow QLers with their life issues ........ It's a good deed ............
Reject the new car offer, you end up paying much more than 65,000 by the time you finish .............
This post is purely dedicated to our friend MM, as majority of the comments is from him ONLY.....:(
Go on ........
After this buy you will become an expert to buy / sell cars ....... it will add to your skills ........
To reduce the price call the seller for a look but cancel it for next day ..... do it two times / two days ..... seller will reduce the price by 2K ........ my surety ...........
Never go for inspection after the sun set , you won't be able to identify the repaint or minor scratches / bumps in the street light ........ ..........
For the budget you have, both Toyota and Nissan would be good choices and I guess you will be able to get a car in good condition within the budgeted amount. Both the cars have good resale value. There are certain things that you may need to keep in mind. First is the model. Try looking for a 2014 model. This would allow you to get comprehensive insurance for your car. Insurance companies usually do not provide comprehensive insurance for cars over five years old. Second, check the kilometer the car has done. The lower the kilometer it has done, the better. Third, try to buy from a genuine user such somebody who is leaving Qatar for good and possibly not from car dealers. You may be able to find such sellers at QL "vehicles" section. Lastly, take the help of friend who has knowledge about cars or alternatively, you may have the car checked at one of the computer shops in Doha. . .
Five comments on just one post so far from one QLer. Suggest, you wait for some more time as ideas continue to flow every minute!
WT, For a beginner, Two years old Tiida is the RIGHT choice ....... help with links for a nice car ...... take three days ........... thanks .......
A 'best' choice is not really possible, it's always a compromise. If you want a smooth idle you need to time the ignition well after TDC. If you want performance you should have an advanced ignition before TDC. You can't have both! - The most important therefore would be to make up your mind about what you really want. And once you know what you really want you'd have to describe it in an unambiguous way so that the 'experts' can understand it and give you a professional advise. -
Then best choice would be a Tiida for you as you are new to cars ...... so get a good honest colleague who will guide you. But you will definitely be able to choose Rate & Model wise best from QL cars section , but for driving & physical check ask a colleague or neighbour for help & support. Yes, after 5 years repair may crop up hence the cost .......
Thanks for the advice. The thing is I have no clue abut cars, hence the request for advice.
what other vehicle models do you recommend apart from Corolla. I know its a good car, but the make after 2009 is not Japanese I hear. Not sure if it is recommended to buy a car older than 5 years.
Don't buy suddenly, give three month time, watch the rates at QL cars , note down the price / model year / miles of your selected models like corolla or Tiida or camry etc .... then you will be having a good idea on the car you will be buying , go for two / three years old car ............ joys ............
Go for used corolla ........... no issues at all ............
