Hey all,

This is my first post on this forum. I am currently in the middle of making up my mind about which car to buy between a used Baleno (Still need to find one) or a OHC 1.3 2003 model which is owned by a recent colleague. This car seems to be in good condition, has done 40k on the odo (confirmed) and drives beautifully. This colleague is asking (Cant really say that cos I am actually prodding him into buying a new car because I want this one for myself

) for about 4.0 Lacs for it. That a gud price ? My budget actually started with about 3.25-3.5 but I may spend about 4 if I get a good deal (which this sounds like)

Now, my considerations are as follows - (Not necessarily in the order of priorities)

1. Sedan
2. Performance
4. FE
5. Low Maintenance
6. No Diesel (I'm lazy and not very prompt about servicing etc.)

I dont know if a direct comparison has been done between these two cars in another post . I spent 2 days searching for it but could not find it (found a sh*t load of other good info though

).

Look forward to some suggestions from all u guys.
