2 Suzuki Swift

3 Nissan AK 12 March

4 any other suggestions

Thanks all.

The Vitz will likely hold value the best considering the toyota badge, they are in decent demand so it will probably prove easiest to sell...

that said however, easily the best car of the lot in every other criteria is the Swift (im assuming you mean the new shape one right?)

I think the order should be,

1.Vitz

2.Swift (specify the model)

3.March

Hi

Thanks for your replies.

The old shape will be about 1.8 mill unregistered

the new shape starts at 1.9-2.0 million for the Brand new 1.3 if i remember correctly

it would help if you state what kind of budget you're willing to put down on the car....

I wish to spend 2.3 - 2.4 million maximum

Just curious, if you are planning on using it only till November 2008, why bust so much money (2.3-2.4 mil)? I mean, practicality aside, what's the point. Best is to get a old Mirage or Colt for around 4-5 or even a EF2 Honda and start the selling process a few months before you have to leave. You might not lose $$$ with a 700k investment as much as you would lose with a 2.4m investment. Am I making sense?

good point, apart from whatever "prestige" etc gained from having a new car, it might make rather more sense to buy something old but in decent nick, and bank the rest....

HI thanks for all your replies.

I thought of buying an unregistered car because I want to have trouble free running. Cant put the car in to a garage for days and dont like to have trouble on the road.

It is difficult to findout running condition of a used car till we drive for some time. Am I correct ? or Not ?

Buying an unregistered car from a vendor (other than a brand new car) never guarentee that you will have a trouble free run.Remember most of the cars come with atleast 15K on the clock.

Machang it's still worth it if you just want a runabout. No repair can be that bad and you must be careful when you buy it in the first instance. There are very old cars that are still 100% reliable out there. Go for one of those. End of the day its a machine. Eventually it will break. But the time frame you have is too small for you to worry about any major repairs. There are plenty of good cars out there. Just need to be patient and look. An Old Toyota AE90, 323 or a B11 will just serve you fine without much trouble.

HI

I visited several car sales but only the old model Suzuki Swift is available. Does Swift new model only available as brand new at agents ?
