Hi All,
I am in a process of buying a car and being the FIAT fan that I am, I thought the best bet would be either a Palio 1.2 or a 1.6

Couldn't find a 1.6, but managed to find one decent 1.2 sport

Specs of the car:-
Palio 1.2 Sport, Red, November-2003 model, alloys, music system, Around 35k kms run, 2nd owner.

Condition:-
Decent tyres, fabric seat covers,

I coudnt drive it because it was already late and I had to get back home. Am planning to take it for a TD tomorrow and also take it to a decent mechanic tomorrow.

Observation:-
- One thing that I did observe is, when he took a full right turn, there was some kind of odd sound coming from the front wheels; is this a problem with the drive shaft or something?
- Owner says he gets about 8kmpl, is that not very low for a Palio, I think it is supposed to give atleast 12-13 in city.
- No major dents, just minor scratches here and there.

Price :-
The seller is asking about 2.35 lakhs for it.

I feel its a little too much on the upper side?

Please advise.
