Are you bonkers????? I wouldn't pay anything more than 4-4.25L for something like that even if it was in immaculate condition.

karizma_devil · 14th March 2007, 09:57

its not a vtech ..that mech was an A**h**** !
was a plane 1.5 exi with V_TECH alloys and vtech sticker.
car was good i mean neat with serivce records.colour is very nice.
but the owner is stubborn last rate he offered was 500k .
i said no and came back.
well iin short another disappointment.am felling really frustrated and dejected.have to buy a car soon may be another 15-20 days,we are about to sell aor car in a few days.

2002 1.5 is not worth more than 3.8-3.9L. forget that deal. it was too much of a make believe. find another genuine car.

@ esteem_lover :: time is running out on my part .have kept people at my home waithing for last 4 months ! i have another 10-15 days max or my honda dream dies atleast for 1-2 years ! and i wd have to drive a fat flying-saucer.

Hey, take it easy pal. i am sure there is a wonderful car waiting for you to pick it up. Just try to buy time & keep looking.

karizma_devil · 14th March 2007, 10:41

one of my friend is askn me to check out the fiat adventure,guys is whats its engine type ?? i mean ist a 1.6 or 1.9 turbo diesel ??
am goin to check it now,would post my experience as soon i come back.

The Adeventure is a great car. Very well built but you may want to check how Fiat service is in your hometown

shuvd · 14th March 2007, 11:13

karizma_devil - Your location says Bhubneshwar as well. If you are open to Kolkata regd. cars, theres an OHC VTEC with the Honda dealer here. They are asking 4.25 and I think it can be negotiated further. Infact I had my eyes on the car but can't afford her right now

karizma_devil · 14th March 2007, 13:59

guys with a heavy heart i come back form the fiat showroom,no cars on display..and the fiat show room is about to be shut down !

more over i they dnt have a adventure on display or even a demo car..

had a lot of argument with mom..even test drove the IKON ..but i dnt like it..very stiff ride and cramped up interiors ( me being 6 feet athletic built)
i dnt have any options but to book the swift diesel VDi.
thats it nothing more to say.

Dippy · 14th March 2007, 14:03

Not a good start to a Fiat buying experience I guess. Its bad you didnt find an OHC I really wished that AT car was as good as it sounded. So have you booked the VDi yet?

esteem_lover · 14th March 2007, 14:08

I thought you had 10-15 days. Why give up so early ?

karizma_devil · 14th March 2007, 14:14

na dippy.dude yet to decide on the colour.
am vry disappointed with fiat,because i suppose thats the only show room in the whole state !! i checked out the fiat india site but to no help.the showroom has just on palio thats it !!the sales man said he would try and get a adventure from kolkata for me to test drive it..but it would take some time,i was in no mood to buy his crap.i wish i could see the black thunder adventure.wish i had some more money would have bought a civic.
well i hope theres a miracle in next few days or else i have to live with a swift for few years atleast

Dippy · 14th March 2007, 14:19

Why dont you contact shuvd about that OHC Vtec? The car is in Kolkata it seems
