The used car market in Mangalore

Mangalore's market is distinctive for the volume of money flowing back from the Gulf, which supports demand for better-specified cars than the city's size would suggest. It is also intensely coastal and among the wettest cities in India, and both facts should shape what you inspect.

What to check when buying in Mangalore

Mangalore combines heavy monsoon rainfall with salt air, which is the worst pairing for corrosion. Check the underbody, door bottoms and boot floor seams closely, and be sceptical of a recent underbody coating on an older car — it is sometimes applied to conceal rather than protect. Persistent damp also attacks electrics: test every window, the central locking, the infotainment and all lights, and look for corrosion on visible connector pins. Any smell of mildew that returns after the car has been shut overnight is worth walking away from.

Do I need to re-register a car bought in another state and used in Mangalore?
