Things to Avoid When Saying Congrats on a New Car

While celebrating a new car is wonderful, it’s important to be mindful of what you say.

Avoid mentioning the cost of the car, making negative comparisons with other vehicles, or criticizing their choice. Focus on genuine excitement and positive wishes for their new ride!

  • Focusing on price: Don’t ask how much they paid or make comments about the car being expensive. It can come across as insensitive and dampen their excitement.
  • Negative comparisons: Avoid comparing their new car to your own or someone else’s, even if you think yours is better.
  • Criticizing choices: Don’t offer unsolicited opinions about the car’s color, features, or model if you don’t genuinely like them.
  • Doubting their excitement: Phrases like “It’s just a car” or minimizing their excitement can be dismissive.

Remember, the key to a memorable congratulatory message is personalization. 

Whether through humor, heartfelt wishes, or inspirational quotes, let your message reflect the excitement and possibilities that come with a new car. 

Cheers to new journeys and the roads less traveled!
