Wagon R Lxi : 8000kms review - Page 4 - Team-BHP

Also,
I jumped my car on a lying tree, which was put as a caution for a breakdown lorry in the fast lane, on krishnagiri to banglore road. The rear axle got bent (very slightly, which is enough for uneven tyrewear at the rear) and front left shocks gone for toss. The bill I got for replacement of these two is just 3800 including tax and labor

. Rear axle is Rs.1400 and front left shock is Rs.1300. Labor charge around Rs. 800. I felt happy for the low cost of the spares.

This is my second car after my zen and agree to most others in the group that sometimes, the gear ****s might cause a few problems but surely the advantages outbeat the problems

As mentioned earlier I am still holding a 5 yrs. old Wagon R (The first verision) clocking 60 K KM. My service bills have never crossed even 4K in all these years except for one instance which involved accidental repairs of the entire right hand side fender and right door. But that was due to the painting job and not for spares. Gear shifts are not at all that bad as it seems from this thread (at least in my car) though it does get stuck sometime in reverse. But as a overall package this car really rocks anywhere you drive it.
