@iRage and @matroska thank you so much for your valuable input on this topic. Because of you, I have learned many new things. Both of you gave lengthy answers with clear explanations. Let's interact soon! Take care!

I get the idea! Great!

Thanks @matroska . Again a quality answer! It appears 1.5L is the better choice from what you have said.

Thank you so much @iRage for the great answer! Appreciate the effort with scans also. Truly feel grateful!

Thank you so much for your great answer! These lengthy answers are extremely useful and also shows your genuine passion to help people. I'm truly grateful for you and other contributors! It seems both you and @matroska agree on Trad as a viable choice. Would you recommend 1.3L version? It appears to be more affordable. What kind of an amount should be set aside for essential repairs after the purchase? And on annual basis, what kind of an amount should I be allocating for repairs under NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES. (I'm perfectly aware this question doesn't warrant an exact answer, but any useful input is appreciated). What could be the most costly repair for a car? Since you point out the importance of having working knowledge of small niggles, would you be able to list the most common ones? (To save your time, a list is good enough as I will go ahead and do research on the respective topic. ) Thanks again!

What a great answer! A mere "thank you" wouldn't suffice how grateful I am. Please continue your good work! Heartfelt thanks again. Apologies on delayed response.

Valid question. I wouldn't say that I'm mechanically inclined as I'm extremely new to this subject. But I'm slowly learning the basics. Thank you so much for your valuable input. Since joined in, I have learned many new things from the forum.

Thank you so much for the answer.

Hi guys, in need of your help! Can you kindly compare, 1.AE80 2.B11 3.Trad Sunny 4.Daihatsu Charade (80's) In terms of 1. Newbie friendliness 2. Spare parts and body parts availability 3. Fuel efficiency 4. Overall reliability 5. General price range for a solid specimen Thanks in advance!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for your detailed answer! And also for the link. Of all the options you have suggested, I have particularly liked (after some surfing) B11, Corolla AE80 and Trad Sunny (although it exceeds my budget range). Since you have asked me if would like to know more on Lancers and Starlets, of course I do. What would be the ideal choice of Lancer/s for my requirement? While going through most well known websites, I saw that mileages are drastically different for the same model. May I know what causes that? Anything shady going on with them? Thanks in advance!

Thank you so much for your lengthy explanation that I learned a few more new things. What do you think about the price range that would allow for a reasonable used car? And one last thing, would you expect the price of vehicles to decrease any time soon?

Hi Guys, what is the best car(s) available to buy for 1 million or under at the moment? I'm extremely new to this subject and still learning many things. I'm particularly interested in below features. 1. A good choice as the first car. 2. High- availability of spare parts. 3. Reliability. 4. Fuel efficiency. Looking forward to interact with you. Thanks in advance!
