Hi All,

The reason why my friend is selling the safari is because:-
1. He already has 4 cars (2 santros, 1 Laura, 1 Indigo)
2. He purchased that vehicle to gift to a high profile person (for getting some work done). Now that person does not want that vehicle and my friend does want to keep that vehicle.
3. There is a problem with the AC (roof AC) but when i spoke to him he said the over all expenses that i might incur would be maximum of 25k.
4.He wants to sell the car for 3.3k but i am his very good friend (freinds since childhood) and also worked for him a couple of years back. So he is willing to give it for 3 lacs.

Now please suggest what are kinds of problems the car MAY be having as it has done 70k on the odo and is it better to take it to a TATA A.s.s or to any good local mechanic. Also please tell me what are the documents i need to get from him incase if i buy it (as i have already mentioned that it was a hypothecated vehicle once upon a time). Also i have heard that the interest rate (finance) for buying used cars is higher than buying a new car. Please suggest which company would offer the lowest interest rate as i would be going for a loan (1.5 lacs).
