Cars Q&A

hi... even i m in a hunt of a good under 1 lakh car. but i think i can answer ur queries with some experience in the field.
first is that a good deal for second hand car is possible more easily here in mumbai bcoz of the above average class of living. next the take off level of a petrol or diesel car in maintenance is always same.Petrol cars have high running costs in terms of fuel. so every 12 kms u ll save 17 rs in case of a diesel car(WORST CASE).once u ensure injectors,fuelpump tuned will give u problem free run in a diesel. ford ikon with <=40000 kms and of yr 2002-2003 will be available under 1 lakh. fiat uno, indica of 1999-2000 are diesel options and of course good turbo sierra of 96-99 model.very cheap to maintain second hand maruti cars are always a good option but u might get 2000-2002 maruti 800/zen under 1 lakh...!! mumbai cars will be in poor condition bcoz of consistent traffic driven and being in a very corrosive seaside environment.
