Beepkart reviews ??

Considering buying a used bike / scooty from beepkart. here are a few questions I would like to get answered : 1 how well do they refurbish the vehicles ? is it actually durable from within or they just make it look good ? 2 their price range seems to be ~50% of the new vehicle price. is that good or are there some better options ? 3 how are the other competitors as compared to beepkart ? 4 how is the purchase and service experience ? do they actually provide 3 free services ? 5 how is the experience around ownership transfer of the vehicle ? 6 are there any other hidden charges ? thanks !

Car Buying Guidance(Am a newbie): Old or used route?

Hello Everyone, Need some guidance as to buy a new or old car. To give some context regarding my dilemma: I don't have any experience whatsoever in cars. But I keep reading blogs/articles from TeamBHP and watch couple of YouTube channels just to keep in touch with what's happening in the world of cars/Automobiles. Backstory: During corona, my mother insisted me to buy a second hand car as I was staying at home and we could visit nearby religious places. I kept searching in my hometown(Manually + olx) but could not get a proper car at decent price. So I just dropped it. And while having some conversations with my mother, I yelled at her(I feel VERY 😞 BAD) saying I will never buy a car, as it is a liability. She left it at that. Then restrictions cleared and I had to go back to office. Current Day My mother works as a school teacher and she will be retiring this October. So I'm thinking to give her a car(Either Second hand or First hand) as her retirement gift 😊. I don't know whether to go for a new one or used one, as I myself don't know driving. I have just been to driving classes(That too in 2020) and don't have confidence to drive in Bangalore. I'm thinking to keep the car in my hometown and keep a driver for taking my parents to wherever they want to visit. Plus whenever I come back here, I can learn driving. Plus me and wife can take it for long drives back to Bangalore and keep it for couple of months for taking it out on weekends(For learning driving). Currently this is what I'm thinking: For new one: Budget is upto 10Lakhs(On road) For used one: Preferably less than 5 Lakhs. That is, If I get a good deal. Should I go for a new one or old used one? Kindly help me in deciding 🙏

Which two wheeler should I buy?

29M here. I live in 4km radius of my workplace and have previously enjoyed living in 2km & 180m radius of my workplace in HSR. I’ve been in Bangalore(HSR) for 6+ years and have never needed to own a vehicle(thanks to Ola/Uber/Rapido, BMTC, Bounce, Vogo, Yulu, Drivezy, and a couple of friends). I often walk back from office as time consumed by bus+wait time = walking back home+5mins. Besides busses are a bit unreliable & often too crowded. I used to work in a startup so I had very little free time to venture out & I’ve been very frugal with money even though I have decent income. I’m fully I’ve always lived way under my means like a tech-bro. 🥲 I’m now willing to purchase one for office commute & to enjoy some solo trips as I might get married by next year. I sort of feel not owning a vehicle(preferably car) could be a potential red flag for the girl(&her judgemental parents; AM sucks, lol) but I’m planning to hold off a car as my commute time(&⛽️₹) will increase and buy a working scooty/bike which can sort of ferry me quickly and cheaply to local meet-ups, relatives’ homes for free food/celebrations. I feel I might miss out on crucial contacts, awesome learnings & above all time(the most expensive resource) if I don’t own a reliable 2wheeler. Two wheeler expectations: - comfortable city driving; expecting to not ride more than 20km/day(Scooty wins here hands down as I have a decent place to throw in the laptop bag and keep my spine straight) - okay road trips for maybe once every two months(sports bikes rule here, no gf sadly🥲) - low servicing overheads(rules out 2nd hand vehicles, as 2nd hand vehicles as they are expected breakdown more frequently & recurring servicing cost) (EVs win here, until🔋😒) - as low cost of ownership+purchase as possible (basic bikes like Pulsar/Platina could be a good choice, Ather 450 gets booted out as it’s ₹1.6L) - likely not an EV(coz once a while I’d like to hit the highways & I hate surprises so no Ola) Please guide me peeps🙏
