I'll never buy an used alto since owners claim more than brand new price. It is very funny that 5 year old alto asks for 50k more than brand new price. I have drove both VIVA and Alto, quiet fits to me. But don't know much about micro trend. I am afraid about trend because spare parts are not freely available and have to depend on agent. Can't guarantee what will happen in future.

Starlet is a better option, but It would not be possible to find a EP91 good conditioned car for 1.2mil. I noticed ep91 reflet owners are quoting 1.5mil. EP82 and below are bit old tho. Either I should wait and extend my budget or go for VIVA or Alto.

I agree with your argument. But I talked to many Alto owners and got to know that it is a trouble free, car for 4-5 years. And very economical (15kmpl in city + inexpensive spares). All of them haven’t got any major repairs within that period and just low maintenance cost. I hope to use ALTO for 3-4 years and second hand market seems not bad so far. Owners are quite satisfied with Alto but I know safety is a major issue in those vehicles. But some things have to be compromised within that price tag. There is another option for me to buy a Perodua VIVA. (I am eager to have a brand new car ) I should think about that.
