Conclusion

If you are thinking to buy a car than go for it. All the cars are sanitised before delivery so there are no changes of getting infected by buying a car as well as showrooms and dealerships are also taking care of proper hygiene and cleanliness. So ,if you want to buy a car than absolutely go without any hesitation. Also I am surprised to see that people now a days have changed, earlier top 5 position were only dominated with non worthy cars but now to see people go for safer options makes me think that the Indian car market is changing from mileage oriented cars being sold to safer cars. And as many people go for safety the much better cars will be offered by the manufacturers.
