Mostly long distance drives (around 600kms on highway, 400kms on normal roads, both per month) and the occasional weekend trip.
Prefer an SUV since I will take it off the beaten path once in a while. (Not off-roading) But a car is also fine with a good ground clearance.
Automatic.
Reliable and easy to maintain.
Budget is 5-6 million.
A good fuel economy would be a plus.
Having cruise control would be ideal but not necessary.
I am pretty much confused with the current listings of vehicles and their prices, so would be very much appreciated if you could provide me with a couple of good recommendations .
Restoring a 90's Diesel.
Gentlemen, What are your thoughts on doing a soft-resto on an unhacked Nissan SB14 that has been sitting around for 8 years?
1997 car registered in 2000. Manual gears, 2L CD20 diesel. Single owner -Decased. Family who are known to me - dont use it. Unhacked body and almost pristine interior. Clean body lines, no accidents. Complete car and appears untouched by makabasses. Engine shows signs of under-compression, brakes and clutch-plate need replacing, tyres are on the brink of decomposing. Power mirrors do not work. Needs a paint job. No major corrosion but early-stage rust spots on the boot lid.
Nissan might close down operations in 12 -14 months? https://www.carscoops.com/2024/11/nissan-exec-says-we-have-12-or-14-months-to-survive/ Are we going to see more companies shutting down or is this a one off. So much for the new GTR and the new Patrol.
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?
