1. Determine your car budget
Before deciding to buy a car, you need to determine the budget that you can reasonably spend. Car prices can vary greatly, from cheap cars to high-end models, so consider your financial capacity carefully. In addition to the value of the car, you also need to consider other additional costs such as registration tax, vehicle registration fees, insurance, maintenance, and fuel.
2. Car insurance
In Vietnam, car insurance is mandatory for all vehicles participating in traffic. Basic types of insurance include:
Civil liability insurance: This is the minimum type of insurance that car owners are required to purchase to protect against personal injury and property damage to others in the event of an accident.
Voluntary insurance: Includes vehicle physical insurance, accident insurance for passengers, fire, theft, and natural disaster insurance. Although these insurances are not mandatory, they will help you protect your assets from unwanted risks.
3. Vehicle registration and ownership
When you buy a car, vehicle registration and ownership are important steps that cannot be missed. You will need to have a vehicle registration and ownership certificate. These steps will be carried out at competent state agencies such as the Vietnam Register or the local vehicle registration agency. If you buy a car from a dealer, they will assist you in completing these procedures. However, if you buy a used car, you need to carefully check the documents related to ownership to avoid legal risks.
4. Maintenance and maintenance
Regular vehicle maintenance is one of the important factors that help your car run well and avoid major repair costs. Basic maintenance steps include changing the oil, checking the brake system, tires, engine, and other parts. You should perform maintenance according to the manufacturer’s recommended schedule and keep complete maintenance records so that you can resell the car or continue the warranty when necessary. Choosing a reputable and experienced repair shop will help you save on repair costs and avoid being “ripped off.”
5.Emissions and fuel costs
A car’s fuel consumption is an important factor to consider when choosing a car. Fuel-efficient cars such as hybrids or electric cars will help reduce fuel costs in the long run. Moreover, if you choose a car with high fuel consumption or a car with a powerful engine, you will face higher fuel costs, affecting your monthly budget. In addition, emissions costs and environmental protection are also issues to consider when choosing to buy a car.
6. Choose a car that fits your budget
When choosing a car, you need to clearly identify the type of car you need, including factors such as: purpose of use (long-distance driving, moving around the city, family or work), car size, brand and features. Compare cars in the same segment and carefully calculate the long-term costs of use (such as maintenance, fuel, and insurance) before deciding. Using online budget calculators will help you check for hidden costs and make smarter decisions.
7. Car loan offers and programs
If you do not have enough cash to buy a car right away, you can consider car loan programs at banks or financial companies. Currently, many banks and credit institutions in Vietnam offer car loan packages with preferential interest rates and simple procedures. However, you need to calculate your monthly repayment capacity, loan term and total interest to avoid financial pressure in the future.
Buying a car is not only a big expense but also comes with many other costs that you need to prepare carefully. By making a reasonable financial plan, carefully understanding the arising costs and choosing the right loan options, you will be able to own a suitable car without affecting your budget too much.
