    Go for the Alto mate. But be wary of the rusting in the Indian model. Check thoroughly before buying.

    Go for the Japanese or Euro ride. They’ll be far more comfortable and refined than the Alto and Zen. Also note that the Indian vehicles tend to show their age really faster than japs. Japs are safer too?

    Boy this conversation might have confused you to hell, 

    let me share my bit

     

    if your your budget was towards the 18 mark an Indian will be a safer option because you can land a newer model, 

    but at 13.5 you can get a much better jap, rather than the Indian ones at the price

    also cars from this era may not be as economical in terms of fuel 

    but spares are cheap, and cars from this era have ample parts, cheap parts in many makes, simple services

    and you can run 92 oct, saving a bit more, and you are extremely LESS likely to lose money via depreciation through a jap car in this era, and mileage won’t also be a big deal as all are high,

    whereas Indian cars of your budget range when old fall apart, loose money and mileage concerns pop up, interiors are shabby and lack more, even road presence is less.

    Get a jap, You ll fall in love with it and develop a passion 

    no one looks down on a well maintained clean jap car, whereas even a brand new Indian car is no head turner in our local context, they maybe good but it’s just the mentality here.

    Since you are ok with indian hatches you might as well consider something like a March K11 those are bland but reliable cars that have been around for ages. You will be probably able to get a late 90s model for your budget specially since you're looking for a manual ( manuals are a lot cheaper)

    Thanks guys for all your inputs.?

    It will depend on the car itself...if the car is hacked and in bad shape then even a Japanese car will cost a lot to maintain because it will have to be fixed often.

    In general:

    - As I said before the Indian cars of the time period you are looking at were not the best built..so age starts to show quite early on.

    - Maruti parts are significantly cheaper than most GOOD OEM parts and originial Japanese parts. However, the service life does tend to be shorter so over a period of time you will spend almost the same amount of money for the Indian cars by having to replace the same part a few more times (again..this depends on the car and the part).

    - Good OEM parts and original parts for Japanese cars can be quite expensive. Howeer, there are plenty of cheap Chinese knock-off parts that are dirt cheap. If you use such parts then the maintenance/repair costs for a Japanese car would be almost the same as that of an Indian car. However, using these parts is not recommended.

    ??Then I will try to go for  a jap car.

    Hi,

    Thanks in advance.

    My budget is 13.5 lakhs.

    I know this is discussed before .But previous treads are now old.Now japan cars are more older in this price range.This is my first car.

    My requirement are,

     

    • Decent Fuel Consumption.
    • Reliability.
    • Low Maintenance cost.
    • Manual Gear
    • Fuel -Petrol
    • Some decent look

     

    My selections are,

    • 1992 Toyota AE100 (Now 27 years old)
    • 1999 Ford Laser(Now 20 years old)
    • Nissan FB13(Now 26-30 years old)
    • Alto 2011(Now 8 years old)
    • Suzuki Zen(Now 15 years old)

     

    I know any car will have repairs. My biggest fear is due to the old age of this cars i may encounter some serious repairs.I prefer japan cars.

     

    What you guyz think?
