mndvishnu 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2008 its not very much advisable to buy the 07 model coz its already more than a year old and moroever 09 is just comming soon , and the dealer would not fofer you more than 2 lakhs of discount doesnt he?? so better wait for 09 and buy 09 , resale value of 07 model will be damm low! suitable to buy 08 model for a decent discount or else i would prefer you to wait for 09! Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thackervijay 2 Report post Posted November 11, 2008 hello joedaff, its always better to but the curent model for a longer term of ownership and its resale value. we are on the end of '08 and it doesnt make sense of buying '07 model. its better to buy current one or if u can wait go for '09 ones.CHEERS!!!

archit 2 Report post Posted November 11, 2008 linea is also a good alternative but if u have made up your mind about optra then no problem '09 models are better Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
md_tanveer20 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2008 guys linea is coming with only 90ps diesel i.e same 1.3l engine that working in palio and petrol turbocharged with 120ps n magnum has a 120ps diesel with 2.0l engine as far as looks are concerned i feel linea is better than 08magnum Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

morphin1 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2008 Do not buy a 2007 model.Try to stay way from Linea due to Fiat's bad reputation when it comes to after sales service.You can also get the new Skoda Octavia that is due sometime next year. Also it will help if you can tell us as to how much discount you are being offered and what is your budget. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy cat 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2008 What is the price of 2008 model Magnum LT? 2009 is just a month away, so better off from the deal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

speed 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2008 Hi Joedaff, Optra Magnum diesel is a good car, sales are low as its a GM product & doesn't carry much prestige. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

designersf 0 Report post Posted November 21, 2008 But even a Maruti or Tata at around 10 lacs will be quite difficult to sell as the brands are more important to us rather than the cars themselves..As far as im concerned, the Magnum is a very good buy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Durango Dude 2 Report post Posted November 21, 2008 @Krace: Maruti and Tata will find it difficult to push car's costing in the region of Rs.10 lakhs; that's a given. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Durango Dude 2 Report post Posted November 21, 2008 Optra is Looong in the tooth and needs the Cruze to come along ...it will be stopped eventually like the Elantra was, when the demand peters out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zinam 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2008 Hello Buddy, Chevrolet Optra Magnum is the best car in its segment. You can read the reviews at ACI. They have given an excellent rating for this Car 9 Stars. Getting 9 stars from ACI is not an easy job & its really worth the money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raj_5004 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2008 hi joedaff, i have worked at GM as a part of implant training of my course. the magnum is a very good car. moreover, the magnum is available both with petrol as well as diesel engines. the 2.0 ltr diesel engine is very refined, has 32 kgm of torque (!!!) and its acceleration and in-gear timings can scare many petrol cars. its now also available with auto climate control and stuff. i know GM's service is not that good but its cheap in the initial 3 years where they take care of the entire expenditure except labour charges. even backseat comfort is better than the civic. its driving pleasure is not as much as a civic and reliability is not like the altis but its a combination of evrything- comfort, drive and diesel economy. go for it... raj_50042008-11-22 03:58:06 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy cat 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2008 Magnum is a good car. But Optra is not so. It didn't do well properly and failed in our market. GM should have launched a all-new car with a diesel engine. But Magnum is a VFM option. I think it is good by means of engineering too, at the price. If I'm going for a car with 10lac budget, I'll definitely go for Magnum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
