Best Option For 9 Lacs

[SMadu]

Hi Experts,

I sold may Grand Civic recently and need to buy a car with below options.

• Better fuel comsumption and economical in maintenance.
  
• Should be able to sale easily......since my plan is to use it for one year and go to a better one.
  
• Year of manufacture : 1994 or later
  
• Better if it has Power Shutters and Power Mirros (But not must)
  
• Doesn't matter whether it is a sedan or a hatch-back
  

Could you please advice me for a better option?

My budget is around 9 lacs

Thanks in advance........

Maruti 800 will meet all your requirements.

Thanks for the suggestion......mm......but would like to have something else......how about Toyota Tercel or Corsa? Would it be a possible option for my budget? Any other possible options?

a mazda 323?

i assume you are looking for a japanese one. If you are ok with korean/malaysia stuff you could buy a yom 2000 wira for abt 10 and if you bargain hard for your budget as well. If you are going for jap cars, i guess you can find a 1994 ish corolla hatch or a mazda 323/familia sixth generation. If you are looking for a "well known" model like sunny or corolla you can get a much older model for that price.

For 9, can go for a full option Doctor sunny.but will be bit difficult for you to find.or try a Mazda 323.or if you can increase your budget bit more can go for a At170 corona.

There are Maruti Esteem's ,a Sedan with 1300cc Engine,Power Shutters and central Locking. I saw a 302- in Autolanka, most of these cars are not EFI. you can find a English Number Esteem with EFI for 10 lacks.

Or a better choice will be 19- EP82 if u can spend 11-12 lacks. It's a reliable car

[Reckless]

what about a Lancer CB1A/CB2A or a diesel lancer cb8?

since the OP indicated his preference is for somtehing made after 1994 i don't think the at 170 is an option.

Dude, if want a Jap you will have to either increase your budget to 11-12 lacks or go down on the age 1988

Maruti 800 is a lousy car but i dont think anyone has lost money on them, for your budget you will have economical reliable A-B motering

This will be better option as you are planning to sell in one year. l

Hi All,

Thanks a lot for all of your valuable replies. I think Mazda 323, Corolla Hatch, Tercel are in possible list. How abot Sonata? Have heard its soo greedy for fuel......can someone advice me on that please. Would it be a better option?

I saw an advertisement for Maruti Esteem..........but think it would not be easy to sell.....same for Proton WAJA even though its a good car. I dnt know much about Lancer CB3a.......but I saw some advertisements.

Go For Lancer CB 1 94/95 brandnew car.I had 19-6xxx 95 accident free car it for three years & it is a good car.I sold it for 970/= 4 months ago.Fuel consumption around 12km with AC.15km for long trips.

How about Starlet? Have good resale value. Corolla II is another one. For sedan Doctor Sunny (only problem I think is less ground clearance).

Hi,

Thanks all of you for your ideas. I have shortlisted some models and will have to search a car now!!!. Think Mazda 323 is the best option because of I can try for a full option one......even thought Toyota Tercel is also there...think it would be a basic car. Will have a look about Lancer CB series cars too.

Could not possible to have a reliable idea about Sonata. I will start a seperate post on it.

Thanks.....
