    My budget is 13.5 lakhs.

    I know this is discussed before .But previous treads are now old.Now japan cars are more older in this price range.This is my first car.

    My requirement are,



    • Decent Fuel Consumption.
    • Reliability.
    • Low Maintenance cost.
    • Manual Gear
    • Fuel -Petrol
    • Some decent look


    My selections are,

    • 1992 Toyota AE100 (Now 27 years old)
    • 1999 Ford Laser(Now 20 years old)
    • Nissan FB13(Now 26-30 years old)
    • Alto 2011(Now 8 years old)
    • Suzuki Zen(Now 15 years old)


    I know any car will have repairs. My biggest fear is due to the old age of this cars i may encounter some serious repairs.I prefer japan cars.



    What you guyz think?



    27 year old japan car Vs 8 year old indian car?

    What will be the wise choice?



    Im open to suggestions .

    Being old is not the problem. The whole car's condition depends on how it has used by previous owners. So if you don't have the mechanical knowledge then ask a mechanic to inspect the cars. Check the bushes and tyre rods etc if they need attention. Then you'll be in safe side on your way. Be prepared :yes::yes::yes: Even my car dead infront of cmb RMV in between a huge traffic and I was so helpless :D:D:D

    Some are saying there is oil burning issue in old alto's.Is it true?

    Even if there is such an issue you'll be able to get it repaired at almost any garage for dirt cheap - you don't have to go spare parts hunting at recon parts shops either. Brand new spare parts are available islandwide.
