Similar here to princesirohi.

I need a personal car for daily commute, not more than 25km/ day. I would always prefers to Nano than Alto and Eon. But Should I go ahead & book current 2012 Nano or wait some time more to get new Nano (Which was shown in Auto Expo'12. It has better interior, chrome mustache & power steering.)

Some websites speculating about Diesel Nano around the corner in first quarter of this year. Is that true? Owning a diesel car always sensible move than petrol one, even if it will be 60/65k dearer.

Definitely, I will buy a Nano, but cant make sure to go straight to current one or wait for next 4/5 months for Power steered or Diesel one.

Pls en-light!

Hi! everyone,

Please help me come to a decision, i tried all i could gain from teambhp, but still need help.

I have found a 2008 model maruthi sx4 (NOT VVT) zxi topend version for sale, in maruthi true value. Paid a token of INR5000 and booked
> INR 4.7L all inclusive, after negotiation
> Run 15000 kms.
> Body condition Good
> But doent feel refined, ride was a bit rough. is that its character
couldnt experince the 102bhp power claimed. when compared to the 87bhp swift.
(may be because of its size or may be because i couldnt try it completely)
> Clutch hits the bottom dhak!! not like swift and not like 800???, not tight nor loose either, doesnt strain to pick from 2nd gear with ac on.
> Life time tax paid, expires in another 11yrs.
> Insurance ends this march 2012.

Is this a good deal or a bad deal?

> And what all things do i need to consider when buying a car from true value?
> is the 1yr or 3 free services really worth or is it just a gizmo and can claim only petty things?

> reviews say mileage with ac on is between 10.3 to 13kmpl on city and 15-16.5 on highways. is this true? SX4 owners shed some light
diesel variant says to give 14-19kmpl
> should i consider the diesel or should i stick with the petrol?
> normal usage would be day to day drive of 15kms in the city. and some occasional long drives, depends? if its a diesel we would defnitely take it for long drives 250 or 700kms single side drives.
so normal usage says monthly around 400kms.
> help me with some calculations on the same, or if i need to consider diesel what should be the price.

The car was owned by a company and the address and registration says chennai, but the sticker on the RC Book says

RTO, chennai south east
"removal of hypothecation of <reg number>
<some numbers and date>
existing with kotak mahindra prime ltd, banglore
<some number> is cancelled with effect from <last year date>
it is signed underneath by
asst registering authority, chennai (South east)
how can this be possible, company in chennai and the financier in banglore????

KINDLY ADVISE ON THE SAME TOPIC AND PLEASE AVOID RECOMMENDING OTHER CARS.
Loan application is going to be moved..

That's cause of the power-to-weight ratio

Diesel makes sense if your daily driving is anywhere upwards of 50kms and you plan to keep it for 3 yrs +
> normal usage would be day to day drive of 15kms in the city. and some occasional long drives, depends? if its a diesel we would defnitely take it for long drives 250 or 700kms single side drives.

If you buy a diesel you end up paying ~1L more just to buy it, later you do save on daily running cost, and to make the most out of it, you'll have to run it more

Guys after a long wait finally my car is here. Ya its tata nano only

. An awesome car it is. All ma friends who responded negatively on the car took back their words after sitting in it just once. But I feel the car does have a few quality issues. But compare it with the price tag & one would feel that quality is not so bad. What I feel is that its a good city car fit for small families.
