Then is it worth for people who wish to buy it for keeping it for 2 to 4 years or others who drive less?? |
Hi, I think we already have non-solved arguments about which is better Petrol vehicle or diesel. But if its about the ex-showroom price then there are many brands come up with similar pricing for Diesel and Petrol variants. Tata Safari another example. (Dicor and the petrol counter part has a difference less than 500Rs.
