DOS AND DON’TS OF PURCHASING A PRE-OWNED COMMERCIAL VEHICLE

Are you looking forward to buy a Pre-owned commercial vehicle for your business? Great! That means your business is growing. But in case you are doing it for the first time, then be cautious as it can be a little intimidating thing to do. Do not relate it with buying a car because the check list that goes into buying a pre-owned commercial vehicle is quite different. To make things easier for you, here are some dos and don’ts of buying a pre-owned commercial vehicle.  

Dos

The vehicle Type

• Your decision for a purchase must be based on your usage of the vehicle. Depending on that you will decide the category of options available that you should explore. In case, you need it for transporting heavy goods, then a used mini truck will not serve the purpose.

Fuel

• Fuel is one of the most important considerations that you should look for. In case, you are hunting for a bigger commercial vehicle, then remember that it will consume more fuel. If your business can afford that level of consumption then only go for this option. Otherwise, you will end up in a big tension in future. Today there are a number of commercial vehicles that comes equipped with modern diesel engine that consumes less fuel & offers great mileage.

Don’ts

• Never go unprepared while you visit a dealer to purchase a used commercial vehicle. It is mandatory for you to have all the technical knowledge so that you can make the most appropriate choice and not just get influenced by what the dealer says.
• Never say ‘Yes’ until you are not sure about the used commercial vehicle. Because that will result in future problems. That’s why, it is necessary to physically inspect the vehicle through a test drive. Also make sure you inspect the vehicle in proper day light to check every aspect of it.

Now, after reading these dos and don’ts, if you wish to purchase a pre-owned commercial vehicle, then do get in touch with Shriram Automall India Limited (SAMIL). The company offers widest range of used commercial vehicles at optimal price through their Automall facilities across the nation.
