No Xeta - I don't trust Indica variants!!

I have already surveyed in 8-10 shops over last 15 days the prices I mentioned seem prevalent in my city.

My budget works out this way for me as per "good deal" and I intend to drive this second hand car 3-4 years without any major iisue, so I would prefer cars with 40k or less on odometer.

(1) The ideal option would be to buy 2002 Maruti 800 AC for around 1.25L to 1.35L depending on condition

(2) Otherwise, go for 2002 or later Zen/Alto/Santro for 2 to 2.25L with 40k or less on odometer. In this option I am primarily looking for AC and Power steering.

I think if second car is in good condition, it gives trouble free run for 3-4 years, comparatively resale price still holds good and cost of ownership is significantly less as compared to the new car of same make/model.
