Like to buy new cars: all cars have scratches

Vkz account said that when buying a new car, a little scratch also hurt. But after 3-4 years of driving, this reader got used to it and stopped feeling sorry because the car was so worn out. "Pollution, mud, bushes all over. But don't get into traffic accidents, or you'll feel three times more sorry because of the cycle of buying a car - repairing a car - compensating and repairing the car for others."

Mr. Nguyen Thanh shared that no one can be sure that when buying a used car to drive, when they are good at driving, they will buy a new car without scratches or collisions. Similarly, reader 2lua said buying a used car will result in a lower resale price, consume more gas, and have minor breakdowns...

"A tiny motorbike can still get scratched. How can a big car not get scratched? Unless you cover it with a blanket and leave it at home. New drivers should buy new cars. If you focus on driving carefully when driving a new car, you will quickly improve your skills," this reader commented in an article on Tuoi Tre Online .

Common Reader assume Who If you have a lot of money, buy a new car. Driving a new car feels better than a used car. "Actually, there are two types of things to buy: new and used. Choose whatever fits your budget."

Ms. Thu Thuy believes that the cost and other inconveniences must be accepted if you want to drive. Agreeing, Mr. Truong Kiet expressed that any used item must be depreciated. Don't think that it must always be new. Even when you buy it and store it, it will gradually become old.

"The same goes for cars. The most important goal when buying a car is to improve your driving skills. Don't think about how to keep the car like new after buying it," he said.

Similarly, reader Minh Tam said he is 65 years old and got his driver's license late last year. He thinks that buying a new car is safer and not afraid of collisions.

"Once you have passed the difficult B2 exam, there is nothing to fear when buying a new car. Be brave and confident," he shared.

Also choosing to buy a new car, reader Cao Quynh concluded: "In fact, buying used is not more beneficial than buying new."

Mr. Vu shared: "It is reasonable for new drivers to buy new cars. If you are afraid of scratches, buy insurance. If there is a new car, there is an old one. Who can guarantee that an old car will not be in an accident?"

"Don't teach rich people how to spend money. When you have money to buy a new car, buy full auto insurance," reader Anh Kiet frankly said.

It is important to be aware when driving.

From another perspective, Ms. Di Nguyen I think buying a used car is suitable for people who want to save money. LAT reader said he bought a new car after getting his license. The car is new so even the smallest scratch is painful, he has to fix it right away, luckily he has insurance so he doesn't have to pay the cost.

"Driving a car is like torture, extremely stressful. After driving for the first two years, I only drove more than 4,000 km, and sold it for nearly 200 million. Buying a car must be suitable for your budget. Because after buying a car, there will be many expenses," this reader advised.

Similarly, Mr. Hung Tran said he was a "victim" of not being able to delay his happiness when he was eager to buy an expensive car as soon as he got his driver's license. "As a result, the car was in the garage several times a month to deal with scratches, broken lights, broken front bumper..."

Many people think that choosing to buy a used or new car is not so important. The main thing is awareness when participating in traffic.

Clover account shared that one must remember to drive firmly before going out on the road. "Not only for your own life but also think about others. There have been many cases of reckless driving, hitting others, injuring or killing others, just because of reckless driving or drinking and driving."

Agree, Ms. Thu Thuy emphasize The most important issue is traffic safety for yourself and everyone else. Drivers need to know the law, have qualifications, and real driving skills.

Pay attention to driving skills and handling situations

Mr. Tam said he is a driving instructor, having met and trained hundreds of students. He has encountered countless heart-stopping situations. "Many people have already obtained their licenses, but their driving skills and handling of situations are not yet solid, they need to learn more before deciding whether to buy a new or used car."

Another reader said that driving seems easy but is difficult, difficult but is easy. A confident, calm, and focused attitude will help you drive well soon.

"For my wife, I bought a compact car and it's a new car. On the weekends, I take her out on a deserted road to enjoy the scenery and practice driving more.

I see my wife driving confidently, but a bit awkward and easily startled when encountering unexpected situations. You have to drive a lot to get used to it," this reader commented.

After getting his driver's license, reader Minh Tam said he practiced driving by driving short distances and driving slowly. Then he drove in the city, in alleys, and in market areas.

He also practiced reacting to situations, reflexively applying the brake and accelerator pedals, and accepting collisions.

Then, he ran out onto the highway, practiced passing trucks, avoiding oncoming vehicles, reacting to cut-offs... He then opened Google Map, slowly entering the highway lane...

"New drivers must be careful and alert. They must know the traffic laws by heart. New cars need to be equipped with additional devices to monitor speed, warn, and guide them...", this reader concluded.

Mr. Minh Sang said he had had his driver's license since 2000 but was not confident in driving. Later, when he had a car, he asked an acquaintance to accompany him for his own safety and the safety of everyone else.

Buy a car and use it or leave it alone

Reader hdng****@gmail.com comment I wonder how many people buy cars that they actually use on a daily basis.

Agreeing, Mr. Le Quang Duy said he bought the car two years ago but probably only used it a dozen times. "The rest of the time, close friends and relatives borrow it to go here and there. I'm still happy to lend it to them. But when the car comes back, it's very painful but I still smile. Buying a car and leaving it there is not a waste of money."
