Question What to choose safari petrol or Safari diesel 2.2L

Hi friends,

I need some suggestion from you ... They is a safari petrol for sale which is a 2003 model 4 x 2 vxi & has covered 58000 kms. its for 4,50000 which is negotiable. Its loaded with a 12cd changer screen on head rest rear view camera etc. or should I wait for dicor 2.2 which is highly fuel effficient but basic model will come around 8 lakhs on road.

Now safari petrol efficiency would be around 8 to 9 kmpl if I convert it to LPG it would be around 7 in turn running cost would be Rs 3.80. Now dicor 2.2 L average would be around 12 to 13 running cost would be Rs 3.15 but maintainence cost would be on higher side as traditionally diesel maintainence is higher than petrol. But for petrol safari avaliblity of spares can be a great concern also reselling this vehicle can bring tears in my eyes.

I am totally confused so please help & suggest.
