A couple of days back a van hit my car (Perodua Axia) in the back when the car was in the traffic. It knocked 3/4 times and looks like the guy kept accelerating instead of braking. Just at the same time I felt my (driving) seat moved a slightly down and I thought one of the tires might have punctured or blown. That wasn't the case though. While the back door is damaged, the bottom panel also seemed to be crushed a bit. The garage guys (at the company) have assured there's nothing wrong with the chassis or the shocks. Vehicle is yet to be fixed but I am concerned about what could've happened to the drive seat area. I am sure of it because the rear view mirror is not at the correct position as it was before and also the eco mode indicator below the speedometer isn't visible to me when I sit and drive in the usual position.
Anyone has an idea about this or having any sort of experience?
Is there an alternative to the Maruti 800? A friend of mine is looking for an extremely cheap to run and fix car for around 1.5M. While I do advocate old Japanese cars in that budget - if his need is basic A-B motoring at the lowest possible cost - maintenance wise and with fuel - is there any other option that I am forgetting?
Does anyone know how exactly this is supposed to work? They haven’t really started brand new imports again right?
Pricing seems relatively fine in the grand scheme of things, given how 10/15 year old cars are still pretty expensive in our market
A guy advertises a mileage blocker on the quick site saying that his device blocks the vehicle mileage from changing on the odometer. Is it legal to advertise stuff like this?
Bought a 2007 (Reg 2011) Vitz SCP90 (Mileage 180K+) for the family (will be used by my father). Seems to be in good condition but had some new owner repairs/replaces done to have a free mind.

Hi,

Thanks in advance.
