Tips to Buy a Car in Bangladesh
Budget
Bangladesh is a growing economy. Here rich people are very minimal. Most of the people are struggling to improve their living standards.

Availability of Spare Parts
Spare parts are essential for maintaining a car properly. So, it is very important that you are getting genuine spare parts regularly and easily. If you have a car that spares are not available, you will have to face difficulty maintaining it and will not get good service from it.
