hi friends this is my first thread and need experienced help.
I use a tata indica diesel 1999 model. Its really in bad shape but engine is still perfect (only 55000 kms done).
My driving is less than 5000 kms a year. I normally drive on highway but from last 6 monts i had to visit my farm regularly and it is a 5-6 kms drive off the highway which is a tractor-trail and my indica had scrapped her underbody many times so it was a reason, or i say an excuse for buying an SUV.
I rushed to a dealer to sell my indica. i expected about 1 lac but shocked to hear mere 40 thousand. I completely rejected the idea.
So now i want to buy a used SUV and my requirements are...
1> under 1.5 lakhs.
2> decent FE.
3> Good handling on highway and high ground clearance.
4> Not looking for some hardcore offroader.
5> Lastly, don't want the feeling after buying that my indica is reliable than this.
Some self answering...
Thought of mahindra jeep but rejected due to sluggish highway perfrmance(engine screams at top speed) and of being not a proper weather-proof.
secondly thought was maruti suzuki gypsy but immediately threw the idea as it was petrol.
then comes a sierra. loved the way its looks.
Here are the two sierras which i had looked for...
1> 1996 model 67,000 kms Rs.60,000
needs some small repairs but engine is fine.
2> 1999 turbo model 1,00,000 kms Rs.1,50,000
great condition but some wierd black and red paint job done which i would preffer to change.
both of these looks somewhat negotiable.
what should i do?
does i miss any model or if these two options i had is not appropriate then please suggest me something.
also suggest me where can i find it online in gujarat.
