25 auspicious dates in 2026 for buying a new vehicle.
Vehicle purchase muhurat is the auspicious time to buy or take delivery of a new car, bike, or any transport. Classical Vedic tradition checks nakshatra, tithi, and vaara (weekday) together — movable nakshatras are preferred since they mirror the vehicle's nature.
Favoured nakshatras are Ashwini, Revati, Mrigashira, Pushya, Anuradha, Hasta, Chitra (chara/movable nature), plus stable nakshatras like Rohini, Uttaraphalguni. Favourable tithis are 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 11, 13 in shukla paksha (bright half) — krishna paksha is generally avoided for new acquisitions. Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays carry strong Mercury, Jupiter, Venus energy respectively. Tuesday and Saturday are traditionally avoided for vehicle purchase because of Mars and Saturn's association with accidents.

Vehicle Purchase Muhurat is the auspicious time for buying or taking delivery of a new vehicle. It is calculated from tithi, nakshatra, weekday, and avoidance of Rahu Kaal and Bhadra. A correctly-timed purchase is believed to bring safety and longevity to the vehicle.
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are generally favorable. Tuesday (ruled by Mars) and Sunday (ruled by Sun) are traditionally avoided for vehicle purchases as they are considered harsh energies for a moving object.
Ashwini, Rohini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Dhanishtha, Shatabhisha, and Revati are considered most auspicious. Pushya is particularly strong and its occurrence on any weekday enables a vehicle purchase.
