Need Advice on a Used Car

[ashish]

CNG gives 30 % more mileage than petrol.Yes Rs 2/KM on a sedan car is quite cheap, cheaper than a rickshaw Only thing i hate is long queues for CNG filling and storage limitations of a CNG cylinder

that's why i prefer diesel. costs are slightly higher. but performance on the highways makes up for it.

slightly??significant

well for someone like me who has driven his car for 27K in 3.5 years, a petrol car would have been the most sensible decision. but that's me. diesel costs around 2.5-3 bucks per kilometer. the conveniences are definitely worth it.

i just would have to buy a 2nd hand car and instal cng from day 1 ............cant afford new:-(

second hand cars are not a bad choice. our market makes it look like it. i mean american auto market is mostly about second hand cars. very few people buy new ones. i wish the second hand car market in india was as mature. and of course, we had lease option available to consumers (corporate customers have options already). i mean i would love to lease a car paying a premium price but have to option to replace it in a year. i mean cars value degrade so much these days that it is cheaper to pay 1L per year as lease on a premium car that you would not otherwise buy.

If you want to install sequential kit on a car it normally costs around 70-80k So, if you are getting a second hand car from a good source it makes sense, otherwise risk factor is quite a lot, as I believe CNG demands maintenance as well and engine compatibility and stuffSometimes it affects your driving experience as you are adding components to your car
