Purchasing a Car
by Stephen Jose on Mar 22, 2008 12:03 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

First it Car Purchase is an investment, which should provide value for money, DEPENDABILITY - that means a lot - like spare parts availability, ability to get proper repair/service etc etc.
Tata has earned a name.
It would be a waste of good money if an unknown entity tries to market, taking the price point as a cue - THIS is not an IMPULSE purchase.

Car is not investment, isn't it a depreciating asset.

You are right. It is a depreciating asset only. While depreciating it provides u utility. Just like a candle while burning it povides light to us. We have to buy certain assets for our consumption and mainatanance also. Every expenditure can not be viewed fom investment angle.
