There are many preconceived notions related to cars, buying a car and car dealerships.If you are considering buying a car, you have probably already noticed that there are many preconceived notions about cars, best car valuation and car dealerships. Is it worth buying a new car or a used one? And what is a demo car? Do you need a down payment to get a loan? How are insurances, registrations and other matters handled when buying a car?
Here we tell you how the buying process goes and what things are involved in buying a car when you buy your car from Carfame. You can also always ask us for advice directly if you can't find answers to all your questions here.

Mapping of car make, model and features

Nowadays, many people do their car shopping as a specific purchase, because the internet is full of information, discussion forums, and reviews about different car brands and models. If researching brands in advance seems interesting, you should also think about which things are most important to you in a car. For example, do you have a hobby that requires storage space, do you drive long or short distances, or are low operating and maintenance costs most important?

You can also come to us at Carfame if you haven't had time or wanted to think about car matters in advance. Then, together with our salesperson, you will go over your needs related to the car and driving and think about the factors affecting the choice of car based on your situation. Our offices have a total of 18 different car brands represented and we sell all brands as trade-in cars. In these matters, it is definitely worth making use of the experience and know-how of our sellers.

Test drive

There are a lot of good cars, both new and used, for sale these days, so together with our seller you will probably find more suitable car candidates. Among them, you can always find your favorite with a test drive. With a test drive, you get to test the car's features in practice. At the same time, you can easily determine whether you like the driving position and visibility, whether the interior is spacious enough for passengers, and whether the family's essential items, such as child seats, dog cages or hobby equipment, fit in the car.

Additional equipment needs
When you find a suitable car, you go over its equipment and your possible accessory needs with the seller. The accessories that are necessary for your own use should be purchased immediately at the time of purchase, in which case their price can be included in the same financing. If your favorite car is missing, for example, a rear hitch, a dog net needed by a family pet, a load carrier, mudguards, a block heater or a lifting kit, it is always possible to add them as a retrofit.

The selection of accessories for new cars is extensive, and if your car is still being customized at the factory, you can also influence other elements of the car, such as seat ventilation, upholstery and color. A second set of tires is not normally included in the equipment of a new car, so at this stage it may be good to buy the missing summer or winter tires as well. In some new models, the spare tire is now also an accessory and has been replaced by a patch bottle.

Financing and maintenance costs

When the car and its equipment are clear, you go over the different financing options for the car with the seller. You may already have a price range in mind when you come to a car dealership, but even more important for your finances is the monthly cost of driving a car. Most of the cars you buy from us are financed with credit, which means that you shorten your car loan with monthly installments. You don't need to request a loan from the banks in advance, but we can make a financing application with you in our store. Nowadays, the decision can be made immediately, so the deals can be closed in the same visit.

When your credit information is in order, you can buy a car from us without a down payment and guarantors - even if you still owe money on your current car. If you are concerned about the maintenance costs associated with driving, there are many ways to prepare for them nowadays. The maintenance contract offered by your own car brand, Carfame and Carfame trade-in car insurance are ways to include maintenance costs in the monthly installment. Buying a new car doesn't have to be about money or a risky investment anymore.

Car registration, traffic insurance and comprehensive insurance

In addition to the financing application, you can also rely on our help with all other paperwork related to the purchase of a car. When you buy your car from Carfame, we will take care of the vehicle registration for you and you will also get the car insurance immediately effective through us. From us, you can get both mandatory traffic insurance for your car, which compensates for the other party's damages in the event of an accident, and comprehensive insurance that compensates for damages to your own vehicle.

You can influence the extent of the insurance and the deductible yourself. In its broadest form, comprehensive insurance can fully compensate without excess liability for, for example, a towing service, a replacement rental car and a broken windshield. Narrower policies usually have a higher deductible and a reciprocally lower monthly payment. If you already have vehicle and traffic insurance, they and the bonuses can be automatically transferred to your new car.

Car delivery time

The buyer of a new car usually has to wait about two weeks to a month for the car to be completed and delivered. The delivery time depends on the modifications made and whether your car is at the Carfame office, in the importer's warehouse or still at the factory at the time of purchase. The delivery of a new car, fully equipped, takes about two weeks from another Carfame office, about a month from the importer's warehouse, and about a month to half a year from the factory, depending on the brand and the situation. Our seller will always give you all possible available information about delivery times. If the factory's delivery time is long, you will receive interim information from our salesperson, who will also call you when the car is ready to be handed over.

If you buy a used car for sale in lahore from us, you can get it with you right away, if it meets your requirements and wishes as it is. If accessories are installed in the sell car online valuation, we will agree a handover time with you. With the Carfame Express service, we can also deliver the car to the address of your choice when it suits you best.

Handing over the car and the next inspection

When handing over the car, our salesperson will go through the car, its controls and accessories with you. At this stage, it is good to ask if you are unsure about a function or if you want additional guidance. You are now the owner of the car.
