Can you please elaborate reason behind this? I was also thinking of buying a second hand 2 wheeler

Software Engineer

Insanely low running cost and cheap loans for new vehicles. 5 year loans announced starting soon. 
 And after 6-7 years you can change the battery whose cost is gonna be way lower than as of now. 
 Lower maintenance cost and time.

Is purchasing a second hand scooty is good decision in blr or should I go for purchasing a new one?

Is purchasing a second hand scooty is good decision in blr or should I go for purchasing a new one?- Grapevine

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🙏

Which two wheeler should I buy?

Software Developer

Hii, 

Scooty or bike - any reseller suggestions or someone who might wanna sell theirs?

Location nearer to Whitefield would be better. Thanks

I'm looking to buy a decent second hand two wheeler for my daily commute.

Amateur car driver here. I was thinking of buying used cars. But the way second-hand cars are priced makes me question the whole logic of buying them.

Budget: Upto INR 6.5L
Usage: Mostly City, 15kms + Outstation on Weekends

PS: We also have a car lease policy in the company. So I guess I can try saving some tax there.

Does a Used Car make sense?

Sales Leader

Moving from SF Bay Area to Bengaluru next month. Planning to buy a scooter for commute. Cars don’t make sense based on current traffic issues
What are the best options to buy? Daily commute around 12 kms 

Would it make sense to buy a new one or a used one in India. If EV, how accessible do the Bangalore folks feel about charging infrastructure. Which one gives more value for your bucks. TIA.

Founder

Where can I buy a 2nd hand 2 wheeler in HSR or nearby areas. I have heard that a lot of these dealers don't give proper RC and documentation. Any leads would be helpful. I have a budget of around 25-30k.

Looking for a 2 wheeler

I want to buy a second hand hatchback. This will be my first car and I’ve zeroed in on Tata or Hyundai models. Will most likely use Spinny to buy the car.
What should I lookout for when making a decision? I already plan to get the newest model available in my budget (6 lakhs).

Welcome to Gadgets & Apps's Private Community

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 🙏

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

I have just shifted from Bengaluru to Gurgaon for a new opportunity. Apart from all the cultural differences, the biggest thing I have noticed in Delhi-NCR is the huge presence of 4 wheelers on roads. 

1. Is a car really that needed in Delhi (consider the Summers and Winters) or is it just a status symbol here?
2. If a car purchase does make sense, do you recommend a new/used car? My budget is INR 6L

PS: 
1. My office is 3kms one way from residence.
2. I only have 2 members in my family (my wife and I).
3. I already have a 400CC bike with me.
4. I may end up driving on weekends to the hills.

Budget car recommendations

don't buy a budget car. Not worth it. if you  are buying out of your own savings. Then dont buy any  car. Just  not worth the headache.  I have  had two. and am saying this out of experience.  The running cost  is enough to cover your travel expenses.  Within city travel, you  will start hating driving after a couple of months.

Consultant

Any suggestions on good resale car dealers in Bangalore that you know of or have good experience with. 
Websites like Spinny, OLX are selling second hand cars on such a high rate that if you put 1-2 lacs more u can get a new model.

Used Car Purchase

Business Analyst

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 !

Beepkart reviews ??

Guys,
I have a monthly salary of 40000 rs(8 years in IT) and I am thinking about a switch and learning for it. My husband joined a company on Feb 5 and his monthly expected salary is around 65000 rs(5 years in fincrime).
We have around 5-6 lakhs debt, which we are repaying based on requirements. We are seriously thinking about buying a car as we have a 10 month old baby and travel is difficult without a good car, hence we are planning to buy kushaq ambition automatic (~18 lakhs).
We don't have money in hand thinking about taking a loan of 12 lakhs and rest by pledging gold.

Do you think we made the right decision to buy a car now. We have a 15 year old Alto now.

Is it advisable to buy a good car at this point?
