Based on our country's economy and population, we can assume that luxury vehicles such as Lamborghini and Bugatti are out of reach for the middle class. The upper class is demonstrating their desire for globally popular automobiles. However, because of the high taxes in place here, the dream cars are out of reach for the upper-middle class. As a result, people are more interested in purchasing low-cost reconditioned vehicles. Reconditioned cars have dominated the car market, accounting for 50% of the total car market and 45% of used cars sold, while only 5% of new cars are sold.
Toyota, which controls 80% of the Bangladeshi car market, is undoubtedly the most popular due to its low cost-effectiveness. Let's look for the most popular car in Bangladesh so far.

Things to consider before buying your first car
Purchasing a car is one of the first steps toward making your commute easier. With an increasing number of models to choose from, it can be difficult to find the right one. How do you know which vehicle is best for you? Here are a few things to consider when purchasing a car, whether used or new.
· Choice of region: The first step in purchasing a car is realizing that there are many regions that import cars.
· Brand selection: The second step would be to select your brand. "Japanese cars, such as Toyota, Nissan, and Mitsubishi, are usually preferred in Bangladesh," says Masud Karim.
· Family size: The most fundamental factor to consider first is family size. If you have a large family, a large car, such as a Multi-Purpose Vehicle, is a good choice (MPV).
· Mileage is important: Knowing the mileage is important if you decide to buy a reconditioned car. This means you must know how far the car traveled in the city of import.
· Car parts: Another important factor that buyers overlook is the availability of car parts. Most cars are visually appealing, but if something happens to your car or you want to modify it, the availability of car parts is critical.
· Fuel emissions: For a change, you might want to think about the environment. If you are concerned about the environment, you should consider purchasing a hybrid vehicle.
· Vehicle documentation: Finally, you should be aware that papers must be reviewed every year. This includes insurance papers, tax receipts, and fitness certificates. If your vehicle lacks the necessary documents, you will be stuck on the road dealing with police officers.
