Each date shows the exact window when the auspicious nakshatra, tithi and the rest of the panchang agree, in Johannesburg's local time (SAST) — computed for Johannesburg's own sunrise by classical rules matched against published panchangs. Combustion of Jupiter/Venus, Adhika month and other blocked periods are already removed.

A vehicle is today's chariot — the muhurta puts both the purchase and the first ride in an auspicious hour, so the machine brings comfort, not mishap.
Vehicle nakshatras: Ashwini, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Shravana and Revati. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are best; Monday is acceptable.
Never take delivery or turn the first key in Rahu Kaal. Skip the rikta tithis (4th, 9th, 14th), Amavasya and Bhadra. Many families avoid bringing a new vehicle home on Saturday — Saturn rules iron, so traditions differ; follow your family's custom.
Schedule delivery in a good Choghadiya, do the vahan-pujan (swastik, mauli, coconut) and make the first ride — ideally to a temple. Pick a day from the list below and match your city's Choghadiya.
A muhurat depends on the tithi and nakshatra at local sunrise and on the day's choghadiya, which are divisions of Johannesburg's own day. Johannesburg's sunrise comes hours after India's, so the tithi can change in between — that is why a date here can differ from an Indian panchang by a day.
Johannesburg local time (SAST).
No — these are panchang-clean days for Johannesburg. Fix the final date only after matching the birth charts of the people concerned (Chandra-bala, Tara-bala, running dasha): use the muhurat tool with your birth details or consult an astrologer.
The main muhurta is for delivery (the vehicle coming home) — booking can be any day.
Same rules — delivery and pujan in a good nakshatra-Choghadiya, plus a customary purification (Gangajal/dhoop).
Panchak chiefly concerns southward travel and specific rites; there is no hard bar on vehicles, yet many families wait — if in doubt, take the next good day.
