Experts Advise Considering Full Costs Before Buying a Car
Financial experts advise car buyers to consider total ownership costs beyond just the loan EMI. Key recommendations include budgeting for the on-road price, down payment, insurance, fuel, maintenance, and loan interest. Buyers should ensure monthly car expenses remain within a manageable portion of their income, factoring in other financial commitments. Emphasis is placed on protecting savings and avoiding decisions that compromise broader financial goals, with tailored advice based on income levels and personal circumstances.
