Hi Siva, I am a regular visitor of Cartrade site and have been seeing all your answers. It's really good. I am a 27 old guy. I have a plan to buy a second hand vehicle. My budget is 400000-500000 I have three options in my mind. Looking in these three cities Madras, Madurai and Coimbatore SWIFT vdi or ldi - Average price is 475000 which logged around 40000 to 50000 kms FIESTA tdci - 2006 models around 400000 to 450000 Rs vERNA crdi - 475000 to 600000(90000kms logged) No my questions are given below. 1. Which is the best choice among there three in matter of mileage, low maintenance and resale value?( resale value is also important as I will sell this after two years) 2. I will be travelling frequently from MADRAS to MADURAI so I want a highway proviso - In this case I feel VERNA is the good choice. Am I Right? 3. Is it OK to buy a VERNA which has already completed 900000 kms for 450000 4. Or any other good car in this price range. Please don't recommend Esteem and Accent , I don't like these two outdated moels. Thanks, Sasikumar

Hi,
Thank you for the compliments.It does motivate for betterment.
As mentioned Verna is a good choice for the utility .However the maintenance costs would be comparitively on higher side as it has already run for 90K KM.
Ford Fiesta TDCI at 4.0 lac seems to be a goood choice for its reliability and performance provided its in good condition.

If you are looking for car which can Mach today's trend in terms of power look and interiors VERNA is the option.
