Think you are in love with that aqua.

If your sole purpose is saving money.

Just buy jap Diesel.

CE110 CE 108 COROLLA.

CT 190 corona or carina.

With a 2C diesel engine.

You will get same running cost 7rs per km.

And it has so called 2airbags and ABS.

maintenance will be pretty easy.

Parts, should i mention?

Gearbox is 25k.

Engine is 150k.

Every body panal is damn cheap.

You have spares from various brands.

Compressor is 15k.

Radiator 15k.

You can replce all parts of car and 2 engines at a price of hybrid battery.

Plus it can repaired by any local garage so you will not be ripped off by hybrid specialists.

Believe me ,currently im touchering toyota 2C engine with eight (300km weekend) long trips per month and all A to B on weekdays during whole month.

I pumped 21500 worth of diesel and travelled 2800km during last month.(mix driving)

It outrun your Aqua and maruti too unless you run in heavy city traffic with bumper to bumper stop.

A decent diesel will cost you half price of aqua.

Buy a land from remaining 1.8mil.

See the profit after your 10 year run.

Very well said.

iRage I think the value proposition only holds true if you run a lot of miles on a daily basis. You basically need to save over 400K over 4 years just to cover the cost of a battery replacement, and the initial deppreciation on hybrids are quite steep at the moment as well.

The deppreciation aspect will change over time as more and more hybrids come and people accept the maintenance and constant battery replacement as part of life.

Exactly ! It is amusing how some people do not want to accept this and consider bringing out such facts as hatred towards Hybrids
