Auspicious days for buying a vehicle
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are considered auspicious days for buying a vehicle, as they are influenced by the Moon and Jupiter, promoting travel safety and happiness. Sunday is also considered auspicious due to the Sun's energy. It's generally advised to avoid purchasing vehicles on Saturday, despite Saturn's association with iron, due to accident concerns. Bringing a new vehicle home on Tuesday is also traditionally discouraged.

The constellation is a very important part of the Muhurta. Buying a vehicle on the following constellations is fruitful: Ashwini, Rohini, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Shravan, Dhanishtha, Shatataraka and Revati. Of these, Pushya constellation is considered 'Amrit' for all works, so it is best to buy a vehicle on this day.
