but the point is do u really want to pay extra for the "coimbatore " tag ??
i think NO..
go to chennai and u can get cars at much lower than this - only thing u need to see more cars and u can get a more recent model
it REALLY does not make sense to buy a nearly 10 yr old car used... |
The cars generally from the non-coastal area are better choice. In places like chennai etc, because of the coastal air with higher salt content the unpainted metal surfaces generally tend to get corroded/rusted. You will need to carefully inspect the cars with a history of being in the costal areas especially under door mats or in the engine bay etc. Sand deposite in engine intake systems unless the air filters have been replaced regularly could also result in issues with engines. The uncovered parts of cars electrical systems also tend to get affected over the period of time..
anywz back to the topic.
Rajiv,
Dont go for this car unless you are really fond of the lancer. It seems very overpriced . The main thing that worries me about this particular car is that it has already done 4 lac kms in the ODO. 3 lacs is just too much. For that price you could go in for later version , better maintained and lesser run lancers .
