Question
dedos
Hi Guys,
As my first ever vehicle, the plan is to purchase an economical car with further plans to go for a "better" one in another year or so. I'm quite a newbie, please bear with my "living-under-a-rockness" while I jot down what I've come across as my possible options. I would really appreciate if you guys can help me out here with ANYTHING you can offer as advices.
As I've mentioned above I want to purchase an economical car for around 7-9 lakhs (700,000 - 900,000); the lesser the better. I'd be going for a better car (a relative term BTW ) within another one year after buying this so, yes, aftermarket value is something I'm looking for too. However, the MOST important thing would be whether the car is economical; both in fuel efficiency and spare parts' prices et al.
So far I've considered the following 3 as my options:
Option 1 - Maruti 800 preferably an English number with power steering?
Option 2 - A Charade, Mazda Familia, Ford Festiva, Ford Laser etc. The 17- 18- ones.
Option 3 - A Korean car such as a Hyundai Accent, Kia Rio etc.
I'm a humble guy so I can keep my ego taking over me; meaning I don't actually bother about the prestige as my main goal is to travel economically from place A to B, safely. That should also mean the car wouldn't be giving much repairs, breakdowns and would have a good aftermarket value when I want to go for my next car in an year or so.
Please, share your thoughts and help me make the best possible option. If I've missed out ANYTHING, please feel free to suggest. I believe a quite a few people would benefit from the answers
Cheers!
