I'm not really considering the Palio 1.6. Not that it's a bad car but it gives way too less F.E. and there are no dealers here let alone a service station. I havn't seen one Fiat car in the Tata showroom till date.
(But, that 1.6 is a real sweet engine)

The Baleno engine is really tempting but won't I have to make changes to the gearbox also?
I'm happy if I can get a 1.3 esteem engine and maybe later change the head to a Swift gti one. (When I get more Vitamin-M)

All the modifications will be done by my mechanic who has never in his life done anything like this. So, I think the 1.3 will be the easiest to install. I think it is plug and play. (Am I correct??)
I'm not looking for an all out drag car but instead something that will handle twisty roads with ease. (And I mean really twisty roads)

Okay coming back to the topic...
Have dumped the 2003 Zen. Was too costly anyway.
But have found a 2000 (not too good condition) carb model for 1.2 - 1.4 lakhs. Will try to bargain a bit more when I go see the car.

Is 1.2 - 1.4 lakhs okay for a 2000 carb Zen? Kind of makes the 2003 Zen at 1.7 lakhs a better choice.
Have any of you bought a 2000 carb Zen? How much did you get it for???

Puia.
