Pay attention only to the current cost of the car

So, there is a car for sale for 8 thousand conventional units and a car for 12 thousand conventional units.

Which of these vehicles is more profitable to buy? It would seem that the answer is obvious: the one that is cheaper.

But it's not that simple. You also need to consider the possibility of serious future expenses. For example, for maintenance and fuel (some cars have very high fuel consumption).

Thus, you need to pay attention not only to the current cost of the car. You need to try to predict future expenses as well. It is possible that a cheap car will end up being very expensive.

Unwillingness to check the car and its history

Before you buy a car, you need to check some information about it.

So, we need to find out what the real condition of the vehicle is.

You also need to check the history of the car if it is a used one.

It is possible that problems will be discovered that turn a purchase that initially seemed very profitable into a rather dangerous one.

Shyness

Modesty is a psychological trait that should be “turned off” during the period of choosing and purchasing a vehicle.

Don't be shy about bargaining and don't be afraid to refuse the seller.

Otherwise, you may face very serious expenses.
