Hi Vista,
As I Think, concerning 40-50km per day, resale value, and your Budget better to go middle type car like Suzuki Swift or Chevrolet Cruz.
You can get 2004 unregistered Japan Swift 1.3cc around 1.8.ML and Chevrolet Cruz 1.3cc 1.9 -2.0ML .

It goes with AC 15-16 Km per Litter and u can have
new, good look, Comfort, Luxury interior, Remote key , ABS, Dual Air Bags, Crystal Lights , Retractable Power Mirrors, Alloy wheels, Disk Break etc...
I also had a dream about sedan. but finally bought a middle type car Chevrolet Cruz because of fuel. Fuel prices are going up day by day. I think you don't need to keep your car in home.
Vista……think twice and make a good decision.
