Vehicle purchase dates in 2027

Each city’s own time

The texts give no time of day for buying, so some windows run through the night. A day runs from midnight to midnight; a window that goes past midnight names the next day.

The rule

  • The Moon in one of the six buying stars: Revatī, Śatabhiṣā, Aśvinī, Svātī, Śravaṇa or Citrā. MC 2.16, commentary p. 63
  • A Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, never a Tuesday or Saturday: the riding days of the Vyavahāroccaya, quoted in the commentary. MC 2.18 commentary, p. 64
  • No riktā tithi, the 4th, 9th or 14th. MC 2.18 sets this rule for horses; applying it to vehicles is our reading. MC 2.18

The texts speak of horses, elephants and chariots. Reading their rules for a car or a two-wheeler is ours.

Delivery or a first drive

For taking delivery or a first drive, the Vyavahāroccaya’s eleven riding stars, on the same weekdays: the six buying stars and Mṛgaśirā, Punarvasu, Hasta, Puṣya and Dhaniṣṭhā. MC 2.18 commentary, p. 64

Stars to avoid for buying

MC 2.16 bars for buying the selling stars of 2.17: the three Pūrvas, Viśākhā, Kṛttikā, Āśleṣā and Bharaṇī. The commentary counts every other star as middling for buying. MC 2.16⁠–⁠2.17, commentary p. 63

Whose muhurat counts

The buyer’s. When a seller must sell as soon as a buyer appears, only the buyer’s muhūrta is checked. MC 2.16 commentary, p. 63

What the times leave out

Windows under 5 minutes are dropped.

Months, Pitru Paksha and night

The texts list the acts barred in an adhika month, and buying is not one of them, so adhika months keep their dates. The texts read set no bar on buying during Pitṛ-pakṣa, and none at night. MC 1.46⁠–⁠47; DS p. 4

Popular practice: Many families avoid new purchases during Pitru Paksha. The texts read give no such rule, so those dates stay in the list. Pitru Paksha dates

Other years: Vehicle purchase muhurat 2026, Vehicle purchase muhurat 2028; all vehicle purchase dates. For a house or land: property purchase muhurat 2027.

Questions

From the Muhūrta-cintāmaṇi and the Dharmasindhu, with the page for each.

When are the vehicle purchase dates in 2027?

In Delhi, 76 dates, from Friday, 1 January to Friday, 31 December: 7 in January, 6 in February, 5 in March, 8 in April, 4 in May, 6 in June, 6 in July, 6 in August, 4 in September, 6 in October, 8 in November, 10 in December. The table gives each date’s nakṣatra, tithi and windows, and the switch shows the dates for taking delivery or a first drive. MC 2.16; 2.18 commentary, p. 64

Which nakshatra is good for buying a vehicle?

For buying, the six buying stars of MC 2.16: Revatī, Śatabhiṣā, Aśvinī, Svātī, Śravaṇa and Citrā. For taking delivery or a first drive, the Vyavahāroccaya’s eleven riding stars: those six and Mṛgaśirā, Punarvasu, Hasta, Puṣya and Dhaniṣṭhā. The texts speak of horses, elephants and chariots; reading their rules for a car or a two-wheeler is ours. MC 2.16; 2.18 commentary, p. 64

Which days of the week are good for buying a vehicle?

Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the riding days of the Vyavahāroccaya, quoted in MC’s commentary. Never a Tuesday or Saturday. MC 2.18 commentary, p. 64

Is the delivery date different from the purchase date?

It can be. Buying takes the six buying stars of MC 2.16; taking delivery or a first drive takes the eleven riding stars of the Vyavahāroccaya, a wider list, on the same weekdays. The switch above the table shows each list. MC 2.16; 2.18 commentary, p. 64

Can I buy a vehicle in Pitru Paksha or an adhika month?

The texts read give no rule against it: buying is not on the adhika lists, and no Pitṛ-pakṣa bar was found. Many families avoid new purchases during Pitru Paksha. The texts read give no such rule, so those dates stay in the list. MC 1.46⁠–⁠47; DS p. 4

Whose muhurat counts, the buyer’s or the seller’s?

The buyer’s. When a seller must sell as soon as a buyer appears, only the buyer’s muhūrta is checked. MC 2.16 commentary, p. 63

Why is the date different in my city?

The star, the tithi and the barred stretches turn at the same moments everywhere, but sunrise and the day’s divisions come at the city’s own hours, so a window can start or end on another date, or vanish, in another city.

How the dates are found

Read the methodology
Buying
The Moon in a buying star (MC 2.16), on a riding weekday (the Vyavahāroccaya, MC 2.18 commentary), and no riktā tithi (MC 2.18’s horse rule; our reading for vehicles).
Delivery
The same with the eleven riding stars (MC 2.18 commentary, p. 64).
Windows
The stretches of the day that pass every bar of the muhurta finder for buying; under 5 minutes are dropped. The texts give no time of day.
Sunrise and sunset
At the centre of the Sun’s disc, with refraction, for the chosen city. Every time is that city’s own.
