Buying a new car is a significant decision, and a little preparation goes a long way. Whether you're buying your first car or your fifth, here are five things worth checking before you sign anything.
Always confirm the dealership is officially authorized by the manufacturer. An authorized dealer means your car comes with the manufacturer's official warranty and access to genuine after-sales service — not a grey-market import or an unofficial reseller.
Warranty terms start from the date of invoice, not the date you take delivery — so ask exactly when coverage begins and what it covers. Get this in writing before you finalize anything.
Most manufacturers include a free first service within the first 1,000–1,500 km or a few months, whichever comes first. Ask your dealer for the exact schedule so you don't miss it and lose the benefit.
Typically you'll need a valid CNIC copy and a booking amount to reserve a car. Requirements can vary slightly by dealership, so confirm the exact list before you visit — it saves a wasted trip.
Never buy a car — even a well-reviewed one — without driving it yourself first. Photos and spec sheets can't tell you how a car feels on Lahore's roads. A short test drive tells you more than any brochure.
None of this is complicated, but skipping even one of these steps can lead to confusion later — especially around warranty start dates and service schedules. A five-minute conversation with your dealer before you commit is worth it.
