Abstract

Acquiring a vehicle involves a multifaceted decision-making process encompassing individual preferences, financial considerations, lifestyle choices, and brand perceptions. Also, the income level plays a pivotal role in shaping consumers' ultimate intentions regarding car purchases. Hence, the need is to delve into such determinants which are foreseen to influence consumer purchasing decisions for automobiles, especially in Pakistan, where the automobile industry is on the verge of life due to peoples’ shift of intentions towards the basic needs of life rather than the purchase of a car. For better results, the study on this topic can rely upon the survey analyses based on quantitative questionnaire-based interrogation of the interfering variable, which causes to finalize the car purchasing decision. This view of research holds significance for policymakers in Pakistan's auto sector, offering a comprehensive understanding of the intricate relationship between product attributes, pricing, after-sales service, product quality, brand loyalty, and consumer purchase intentions.
