Second Opinion

I’m a sucker when it comes to scrutinizing, verifying, or negotiating! I keep failing in these departments and that too in succession. So, what could be the reason. Well as far as I could conjure – it’s the lack of preparedness, planning or organizing.

In one of the recent instance, I got fooled easily by a crooked or city smart salesperson in a Honda Showroom. After I signed the deal for the vehicle, I realized that I’m paying a hefty interest for the vehicle. What an idiot did I turn out to be. Also I remember the maxim – Caveat emptor, meaning, let the buyer beware.

Taken for a Ride and the art of Negotiation 
It’s after signing the deal that I realized that I should have cross-verified with another dealer and checked with the online resource.

So, have you come across a situation where you felt that you need to get a second opinion about a purchase ( land or vehicle or something which is expensive)

This is when I thought that a service ( secondopinion) would be helpful.

So, imagine that you are about to visit a car showroom. what kind of research will you do beforehand? Well, it would be easily if you have a quote from another neutral source about the price, EMI offered by other dealers, and the estimate.

Having a prior knowledge will make things easier for you to check if the deal is in line with the market rate.

So, if you get an unbiased opinion from a third-party agency, makes decision making easier and better.

This could apply for car or a home loan or for buying a property or even in medical diagnosis.

The second opinion (car) or ( Medical) will have a panel of people who with the right knowledge will assist you to the right solution.

So, what do you say about this? Will it work? Is this solution being offered?
