cars

I think you have to be rational than emotional at this venture. With the bad experiences in repairs of the Pajero you have to know quite well about consequences of a 40+ years vehicle. Those who used those cars did not have information like now 40+ years ago. 90% people they did not what is proper maintenance and top of it lanka did not have proper mechanics i assume. So cars are hacked to death. Most of them are now projects. Considering your situation and budgets going for a maruti 800 is the best option by far. You can always bargain and come down on prices. Reasons for a maruti 800 are *it is one of the most reliable vehicles on the road, *you cannot get that fuel efficiency in any 40+ years vehicle, *spare parts are cheaper and lot cheaper, and spare parts are abundance *Service and maintenance costs are insignificant *you are a kid you whose studying and working you can't waste your time in garages Go for a good condition maruti is my advice it ticks all your boxes when it comes to finances. Study well and get a better condition better Pajero in near future. Good Luck
