Buying your first car...

This is my latest experience and I thought it might be helpful for the first timers who wish to buy "The Car".

Steps to be followed.

1) Search the web for your dream car.
2) Finalize on the models you want to choose
3) Go to the related showrooms and finalize on the make and model.
4) Find the dealers that are available in your city for that particular brand and model.
5) Go to your nearest dealer and make him believe that you are going to buy car from him and get all the discounts, prices of accessories etc.
6) Take the quotation and go to other dealer and get a better quote.
7) Finalize when you get a better deal.

Having said this, its not as easy as it seems. Many dealers bluff that they are giving you best price. But believe me you, you can get better price that that.

Also try to get discount on the price of the car first, then bargain for accessories. Don't fall for accessories in the first place. They will come cheap outside than in the showroom.

Also, ask for free registration and make it a point that he mentions it in the papers. They might later cheat you on registration fees etc.

Talk to people who own the car model that you want to buy. They can give you better information on mileage and problems.

Also the main important thing is, see your car model physically before you pay a single penny. Once you get the look and feel of how the car in the internet looks physically, then go ahead.

The above steps can help you find a best price. All the best.

You do not have to win always to WIN

Yes, I mean it my friends. You can lose sometimes and still can be a winner. You might win an argument, but you might have lost a friend at the same time.

You might remember the famous dialogue from the movie Baazigar "Kabhi Kabhi Kuch Jeetne Ke Liya Kuch Haar Na Parta Hai, Aur Haar Ke Jeetne Wale Ko Baazigar Kehte Hain" This is true.

We are in a world where relationships really matter and all we do is build relations and break them. This is a common, general, well known, relationship make and break process. An average individual will indulge in many relationships. In the process of building and breaking them he/she gets hurt or hurt the other parties. Below are some of the things to remember that can help us being better human beings.
 

You do not have to win every argument you are into.

Do not try to prove your smartness by hurting people that matter the most.

Many a times, you feel your point is not accepted. Just for a while, whole heartedly step into their shoes and give the discussion a thought. You might feel they might be correct or you might feel it’s no point in continuing the discussion. Either ways you win.

Silence is the best refute to an argument. Follow whenever appropriate… Most of the time, follow it.

Have a listening ear. That way, you would be less willing to drive your point home, without listening to others. And in-turn you can be a better judge of what to speak and what not to.

You don’t have to show your anger instead you can refrain from speaking further. This way, even if your are right, people doesn’t get hurt by the way you speak to them in anger.  

Be patient. Be calm. Be a good listener.

All the above can be followed only if you think that the person who you are dealing with is worth your time and effort. So choose carefully.
