It’s times to realise your dream of owning a car

Buying a car was always a dream for me since childhood as I belonged to a middle-class family. I clearly remember those days, when my dad used to travel by bus every day. In fact, I had also travelled with him by bus many a times. While travelling, I always used to prefer window seat and wonder how comfortable journeys would have been for people travelling in a car. Whenever I used to ask my dad about when we were going to purchase a car, his answer always revealed that money was a big constraint which kept us away from purchasing it. But, that desire always remained in my heart. And, now when I aspire to realise that dream, money still remains an issue for us.

This problem was soon sorted when I came to know about Shriram Automall through a friend. I shared my problem with him and he took me to one of the physical bidding locations of company. I was simply amazed to see a wide range of used cars that the company had within the premises of its Automall. And, the best part about acquiring a car from there was transparency that the company maintained in its deals. We all know that buying a used car in India is big risk for people. But, when I saw everything at Shriram Automall, automatically the trust developed. The company also provides loan on used cars through its parent company, STFC. Now, I feel anyone can realise his/her dream of owning a car through this platform without any issue.

Shriram Automall India Limited (SAMIL) has set up various Automalls across the nation in order to serve the wheeling dreams of people. It provides a wide variety of used vehicles and equipment on different bidding platforms, like Physical Bidding, Online Bidding, One Stop Classified and Private Treaty.

Do's and Don’ts of Purchasing a Pre-Owned Commercial Vehicle


Are you hunting for a used commercial vehicle for your business? Great! That means your business is growing. But in case you are doing it for the first time, then be cautious as it can be a little intimidating thing to do. Do not relate it with buying a car because the considerations that go into the purchase of a used commercial vehicle are quite different. To make things easier for you, here are some dos and don’ts of buying a used commercial vehicle.  
Do's
  • Your decision for a purchase must be based on your usage of the vehicle. Depending on that you will decide the category of options that you should explore. In case, you need it for transporting heavy goods, then a used mini truck will not serve the purpose.
  • Fuel is one of the most important considerations that you should look for. In case, you are hunting for a bigger commercial vehicle, then remember that it will consume more fuel. If your business can afford that level of consumption then only go for this option. Otherwise, you will end up in a big tension in future.
Don’ts
  • Never go unprepared while you visit a dealer to purchase a used commercial vehicle. It is mandatory for you to have all the technical knowledge so that you can make the most appropriate choice.
  • Never say ‘Yes’ until you are not sure about the used commercial vehicle. Because that will result in future problems. That’s why, it is necessary to physically inspect the vehicle through a test drive.  
Now, after reading these dos and don’ts, if you wish to purchase a pre-owned commercial vehicle, then do get in touch with Shriram Automall India Limited (SAMIL). As a pioneer in giving structure bidding platforms for the trade of used vehicles and equipment, the company has spread its Automall facilities across the nation.
