Best Suv For 4.5 Mil To 5.5 Mil

[DevakaC]

Crisco nihal's cousin it seems :-) ....we are going to have some fun..

HaHa Exactly what I thought too. Crisco Nihal Junior in the making.

Here's my two cents on Mid-Sized SUV's.

If your looking for a B/new set of wheels, then you're on the right path I suppose.

Kia Sportage, Sorento, Hyundai Tucson, Santafe would fit the budget IMO. But beware of the higher depreciation.

On the Recon range I could only think of the RAV4 and X-trail. The Rush is a Terios for me.

And with registered ones you can pick from RAV4's, Xtrails and CRV's. Prices could start as low as 3 million.

It's a personal choice end of the day. Good luck with your search and keep us posted.

Hey mate.....I hear what your saying about the Rush...but I can't really sell that to my parents...from their point of view they get the high clearance, good fuel economy and good price.....I like the Rav4 and think its the best in terms of resale values but form calling up a few car sales they start at about 6 million recon..

So compare that to 5.2 for the Hyndai.....three year guarantee so piece of mind for three years, say you buy with the plan to sell in three years....the Rav4 will sell, if we assume nothing else changes (eg taxes, etc) for around 4.5-5...say 1.2 million depreciation....the Hyndai would probably go for about 3.5-4...probably more...again 1.2 depreciation....so can't really justify the Rav4 in terms of resale value when you have the guarantee, grand new car, and lower cost of the hyndai...would you guys agree with my figures?

How much do you guys think the Sportage goes for? Bar the master/slave comparison...I can't really think of any other reason not to look at the sportage...also in the UK they started giving seven year guarantees with their cars (compared to five year hyndai).....wonder what it is in SL.

Thanks again for everyones comments....

See bud the thing in SL is the Hyundai and Kia "will" depreciate while the Toyota wouldn't. In other words if they depreciate at about 8% per year the toyota would barely decrease in value for the next 3 years.

So what really you should be looking at is if the ease of mind for 3 years is going to cost you a million reduction in your asset value over the period of 3 years.

But in this case the Rav4 is off the ballpark unless you can stretch your dollars.

Try calling up CARPL#N and get the price for the sportage. I've seen quite a few of these in SL roads, good looking too, most were diesels though.

Does your folks want an unreg?

I would recommend Rav4 if you can afford it. Have driven a friends one, quite a solid vehicle. I doubt you would lose big money on a Jap vehicle in SL

Guys...thanks for all your relies.....so you guys really think the Rav4 won't lose any value while the Tucson will?

What sort of Rav4 can I get for the 5 million mark? Would I be able to get a used 2007 model by any chance?

Thanks...

RAV 4, 2007 Unrg will cost abt Rs.6.0Mn to Rs.6.5Mn....Recently one of my friend bought White body-kitted one for Rs.6.0Mn....
