when the total workshop bills of my old ford ikon diesel exceeded the price of the car, i sold it and bought a 1.3 OHC Exi.

ford ikon diesel for me was really expensive to maintain. i would have had to take it to the ford service centre atleast once in a month. i remmember paying Rs.11,000 for the 50,000 km service. regular service cost me between Rs.2,500 to Rs.4,000.

OHC was easy on maintenance. regular sevice cost berween Rs.1,500 and Rs.2,500 although i paid Rs.10,000 for the 80,000 km service which is OHC's major service (major service for OHC is after every 40,000 km).
