Like any other large investment, buying a car, or in this case, a Honda for sale is an important turning point in your life. For the most part, a vehicle will give you a lot of convenience and comfort in the long run. In some cases, however, there can be issues that will arise if you're not careful enough.

So in order to help you in your car buying experience, we here at Philkotse.com have listed several things that you want to avoid when buying a new car.

1. Not researching everything there is to know about a car model

In order to avoid unwanted surprises, we advise anyone who is buying a vehicle to know every single detail about the model. It would even prove to your advantage to know a little about a particular model's history and some technical details like what suspension it uses, its horsepower and torque figure, etc.

Surprises can be good sometimes, but when it comes to buying a car, it might mean you and your family's safety.

2. Trusting the “final price” on window stickers

The price of a car, be it on an advertisement or on those stickers we usually see in car dealerships, might not provide the real, big picture price of the car. Those figures might even be adjusted a little bit to attract buyers.

As such we suggest that you check online on our updated Honda Philippines car price list which can offer info on a model's current overall price and even a sample calculation if you want to put it on loan. Make sure to check that out.

3. Falling for the “buy today” trap

Car salespeople are trained to get you to buy a car fast as it is common for people to wait up and make a lot of visits to a dealership. So in order to go around this, some dealerships usually have in place “Buy today” promos to convince buyers for an immediate sale.

Also, don't make it obvious to a salesperson that you are desperate as some more unscrupulous people will take advantage of this. What you want to do instead is to stay calm and always consider your move first.

4. Not test driving the car

Another big mistake people usually commit is not test driving a vehicle. Some people who have purchased a model on sight without doing so have been known to have lower satisfaction ratings than those who do.

This is because in test driving, you will get to know the vehicle's characteristics better: how it feels to drive with or without load, its engine noise, etc.

If you want to test drive a particular model of Honda, you might want to check out the nearest Honda Philippines dealerships as most of these are willing to let you test drive one of their vehicles. Don't forget to bring your driver's license for this.

5. Immediately signing on paperwork

To avoid headaches and possible disagreements later on, please do read closely the fine print on the papers that you have to sign. It is a fact that it's easier to change a misunderstanding or error before you signed a paper.

Make sure to check whether the details on all papers match up to the invoice. Also, don't be afraid to ask for clarification.

6. Don't get distracted when inside the finance office

One of the last steps in buying a car usually occurs in the dealerships finance department. This is where you sign some papers in conjunction with the sale.

You'll want to concentrate on these so you'd want no distractions. As such, it might be better to ask your family members to wait outside the finance office.
