hello automotive indians.
i invite all the number crunching/or not members out there to help me decide on my next purchase/replacement.
current situation- we have one diesel and one petrol cars. the petrol is a maruti a-star and has done nearly 25k kms in 15 months.
now here is the problem. my/family's running is a lot and completing 85k in 32months in a diesel ikon is a testament to the fact.
so i need to look at other options to keep my running costs in check.
Monthly running is around 1500 kms in petrol hatch.
option 1- sell the hatch off, buy a beat diesel base model.
i am getting quotes like 230k for my 15 months old car. the car is on installment and the emi is 7360rs. if i clear the loan i would have to pay 190k.
beat would be 480k on road. please take into consideration that my running will increase to 2000 kms as i would be shifting base soon. i bought astar for 360k.
option 2- plonk a cng kit and run it illegally. as my city's rto does not give cng conversion permission.
option 3- there is no option 3. could be that i would keep the car and use it.
and keep on bleeding money.
please assist as i need to take a decision by 30/6.
