What is the right car to buy?
Prior to searching for an ideal used car, ask yourself the following questions:
| 1. How will I use the vehicle? |
| 2. Will I drive it within or outside the city limits? |
| 3. How long do I plan to keep my car? |
| 4. What is my budget? |
| 5. What will be my car’s operational and maintenance costs? |
| 6. Should I buy a diesel or a petrol model? |
There are two types of cars: petrol-driven (carburettor and injector) or diesel-powered. A diesel-powered car is noisier than a petrol one. It has less pick-up ability, but saves on fuel bills. A petrol - driven car comes with either a carburettor or fuel injector engine. Carburettor engines are simpler to operate and relatively indifferent to the fuel quality they run on, but they consume more fuel than injector engines. Injector engines are more powerful and they have good pick-up under all weather conditions. They also consume less fuel. However, they tolerate only good quality petrol. |
