Saw interiors on NDTV...looked OK but no aircon!!

IMHO Lemons are everywhere - be it Toyota, Honda or any other manufacturer. Its more of a luck/chance thing - whether you end up with one or not! Just that good manufacturers have a low lemon:good car ratio than ordinary & bad ones.

i say buy this only if you really miss the airline economy class seating - cramped & overpriced!

@Sgiitk: not taking into account body repairs & Mobil1...I'll upload the charges shortly.

@sgiitk Looking at your expenses my Altis has been far cheaper to run and maintain. Just 1 service in 1 year. (except the first service done within 1month of sale) almost 5000kms done. very satisfied with the car. Approx money spent on it Rs14-1500 (will give an exact fig later)

Ive got two words - claustrophobic rear! imagine peeping out of the rear windows!

@goenkakushal: mine's pretty low 5000 odd kms in 1 year!!lol

Brake pad wear depends on use too, i.e, how fast you drive and how you brake!

Tested the vehicle today, there were issues with 4x4, wasnt engaging properly. Had it checked at MASS and they advised against buying the vehicle!!

@rameshbabu: spares wont be an issue as Gypsies are in production for the Army. @sarabjeet: have checked, no issues in transfer. Mechanicals are yet to be checked though the person selling it is my mechanic who works on the Fiat 1100. I also checked with the car-bazaar guy who rotates the staff cars for us, he suggested around 65k.

Its 1000cc (MG410) presume MG410W was the 1.3

@sgiitk: what about the asking price? I think should be around 50k?

There's a 1990 MG410 with 85000kms for sale; the vendor is asking for 1,00,000. Tyres are bald. Body looks decent. Paint is original and all monograms are intact (though dull). Govt vehicle - Ex-Soldier Welfare Dept or something like that. This evening Im will inspect the mechanicals. Look at inputs from members. Thanks.

@cyrus: can you please divulge some specs of the thar and when can we expect it to hit the showrooms?Kinshuk2010-07-26 11:41:16

@atulhost & dr_nishu: AFAICU, Winner48 wanted to know which TypeR honda's planning on introducing in India!
