For every person, their ultimate dream would be to own a car, and if they cant afford a new car, they might settle for a used car. Along with the car comes the freedom to travel, to be on your own and to not be dependent on someone for rides. But cars do require a lot of responsibility and care. If you are looking to buy a new car, or any other vehicle for that matter, you need to do your homework. Background checks and gather information are good ideas. You will need to consider details such as what kind of a vehicle you are interested in, what is the purpose and so on. Is it meant for personal use or for official business? Will you use it to travel long distances or will your travel be rugged. Will it be driven by one person or will there be many who might handle the car. All this will give an idea as to what kind of a car to buy which will last the longest. Also information related to the kind of services that come with the car, the auto warranty, and availability of spare parts will need to be gathered.

Once a person decides on going in for a brand new car, they will have to either approach the car dealers or get in touch with an agent. During this process, one needs plenty of patience and must not rush in and buy the first car they see. Going to the car showroom, speaking with the dealers, inspecting the car, taking it for a test drive , checking out the auto warranty papers are all part of making the right choice.

The Auto warranty is a written agreement signed between the parties involved, where the manufacturer agrees to carry out repairs and give full replacement in case of any faults and all this is done free of cost. Some companies might give a warranty for 2years and 20,000 miles whereas there might be others who give for 10years or 100000 miles. So, this must be cleared so the buyer is aware of how he can plan for car maintenance and service. Only when the buyer is convinced with the package and services offered by the car dealer, should you decide on what the car color should be and what type of accessories you might be interested in.

In case the warranty offered is not sufficient; the buyer can opt for extended warranty, by paying an extra amount to the dealer or car company. This will ensure his car is taken care of for that extra duration as well. In most cases, the auto warranty covers any mechanical and operational failures apart from accident coverage. One must also go in for insurance to pay for charges incurred during unforeseen cases. There are some companies which offer roadside assistance and have tie ups with service stations across the country. This makes it easier when you are looking to travel and can be worry free while planning your holiday or work related trips.
