really ?
I have a City1.3Exi bought in March 2001
* got a discount!
* spares/repairs are expensive
* I spent 8L and now it might not get even 4
I too have become a believer in a buying a year or 2 old car and keeping it as long as you're happy with it - typically 3-5 yrs.
Also to be considered are the costs of overhauls or major parts replacements. The Marutis and Tatas score high on that - you can *afford* to redo them!
