Driving your new car for the first time

The expressions on the face of a kid when he for the first time eats a lollypop are equivalent to yours when you drive your car for the very first time. Just priceless. Something that is meant to be relished. The first look towards the car is full of expectations. Expectations few or many varies from person to person, but expectations are expectations.

The new car is like a new born baby whom we don’t wish to hurt. Carefully nourish and help him grow older. The first step in the car, very slowly and carefully taken, and then once settled, it feels like heaven. It is the car who makes you feel that . You then introduce yourself to the car as if she is some girl whom you wish to date. The first acceleration, the first take off, and off you go. Smooth as butter she moves giving you the taste every second. Not a scratch that you want, you carefully pass by the traffic. You feel proud if a guy looks at your car even if he is looking at this girl sitting right next to you, you feel proud because you own that car. You are the proud owner now. There is a constant smile on your face as well as a fear. The fear of hurting it, the fear of loosing it.

The smile of a father holding his newly born baby doll in his hands n the fear of seeing her with her first boyfriend in the future. Though even he knows that he has to let go one day, but a father is a father. And so are you. Through out the way you are taking the feel of this car, as if the first night of your wedding. Even the minutes’ of mistake you get worried. You get scared. You start cursing the car dealer for giving you a defective piece. But end of the day she is your baby, you accept her no matter how she looks or how she works. Your eyes are stuck on the road.

They wont move even an inch, even if a very hot girl is standing on the road. You are very focussed and then you sail across though the traffic to these open fields, miles and miles of only farm lands, and then you question yourself, is this car really mine? And a reply comes yes i own her.

You start talking to her, even when there is no response back, you start sharing your thoughts with her as if she is your best friend. You start fantasizing that you’ll take her here and there, make your friends meet her, take them for a ride. Drams and dreams one after the other. You finally reach your destination. Safely landed. You get out and then you give a glance to the car. A loving one. And thank her for what she made you feel and then you leave with that smile. No fear. As said earlier, a moment to be relished.

If you are one of hundreds of thousands of people who have lost income or had to deal with a major expense, then the Japanese used car may be the best alternative to buying a new car. Very few can afford to buy new anymore because they’re watching and waiting to see what will happen next. Also, the majority feel that adding another loan would be a burden too risky to take. Of all used cars on a car lot, it’s the Japanese used car which gets off faster, and for good reason.

If the used car comes from Japan, it’s actually a better deal. The drivers in Japan are known to be picky about maintaining their cars and so usually the used cars are in perfect mechanical shape and with very little problems with the chassis or body.

This means that you won’t have to worry about ending up with a lemon unless you buy from someone who isn’t above board. You may have to deal with Japanese stickers or marking and a conversion problem to left hand drive. However, these are all features that can and should be fixed even before the car is shown to you. It’s not your responsibility to neither convert the car nor clean it up so it doesn’t have the marking in Japanese.

Also interesting is that spare parts are easy to find for Japanese cars as compared to car from Europe or other parts of the world. Some are even made right here in the country.

You should however find out the history of the car before you buy it. It could be a third generation used car which means it has a complicated history of owners. This could make it difficult to transfer ownership of the paper trail is incomplete or missing links. Again, as long as you deal with a reputable used car dealer, none of these problems should bother you.
