Hi Gaurav, when buying a second hand luxury car on a low budget, a very important factor is "How much are you planning to spend on repairs/maintance".
for example, a person who can afford a M800 for 2 lakhs can easily afford a 150,000 miles done BMW imported into India.
But even a small part failure will destroy his monthly budget.
So depending upon how much you are willing to spend on service/spares, choose the car.
A good option would be to get in touch with owners and find out routine service costs and cost of commonly used spare parts(Oil filters, air filters etc., etc.,)
