Huh! Finally Sold out my Maruti Alto LXi day before yesterday. Here are the details of the Deal-
Car- Maruti Suzuki Alto Lxi
Year of Purchase- 2008
Kilometres on Odo – 36125 kms
Condition – Average. (Nothing for repair, Only some scratches/dents on Wheel Wells and Side body)
Price When Purchased – Rs. 275000
Price Got now – Rs. 185000
Reason – Started giving small troubles (Noise, Vibrating cabin, Light not working, etc.) and needed an UPGRADE (Yipee!).
So, The car was given to my close friend and as it was his first car, He didn’t had much knowledge about cars, So He readily gave Rs.175000-180000 for my car.
When I had bought the car, I had a strong feeling that I will sell it ASAP after 1 year. But, After having happy miles with her and enjoying Maruti’s Reliability, I kept it with me for the time being. Time went on and 3 years passed away in a short flash! But, (Read in hindi!)“HONI KO KOI NAHII TAAL SAKTA”, Therefore, I had in mind from early 2012 that I need an upgrade. Soon, The car’s problems started going northwards. From Small Rattling issues, The car had turned into a RATTLE SNAKE! Lol! Continous Problems like Cabin light not working, Parking Lamp not working, Taillight not working, Continous noise from the Door Pads, Noise from Front Left Tyre, Car refusing to start early morning and stopping in between drive, Engine stalling and coming to life after some time,etc started troubling me a lot. Reported this to MASS and some of them were sorted out but finally I told one night to Dad. Here the conversation goes-
ME – Dad, Alto is giving me problems and It has become a pain to maintain it.
HE – Why, What happened? Isnt it working fine?
ME – Some problems are arising nowadays. (Then I told him a long list of them). When I come out from office, I am never sure that the car will start to take me home!
HE – Ok. Will see to it. Take it to Maruti this weekend.
ME – I personally feel that the car will eat up money than saving it! I NEED A NEW CAR.What?
HE – Will see to it.
ME – Dad, I have not got my Birthday present dad.
HE – Ok. Then You decide which car. You will get till June – July. Happy.
ME – Super duper happy!
SO, Now I am having a Honda City and Mahindra Scorpio. I am again here for my queries about new car.
Here are the details of my condition-
Need- A NEW CAR!
Type – Not decided yet. Preferably Compact Sedan or Mighty SUV.
Budget – Not decided yet. Maximum 9-12 L! The Cheaper the Better.
Make – ANYTHING would do. It should be common on roads, Not like JAZZ etc.
Mileage – Should be 14-16kmpl on Highway- City mix.
Average Monthly Running – Umm! Some 1200-1300 kms max.
Fuel Type – Either Petrol or Diesel. Preferably Diesel.
Cars Considered – NONE! Yet. The buying will take place in June July only.
Listen, THE CAR WILL NOT BE BOUGHT BEFORE JUNE. So, I am not in a hurry.
So, Which cars are under my budget? And Please suggest the Car Type and Fuel Type which would suite me best.
Waiting for Valuable Inputs.
Cheers.
