1.4 and MJD do the duty on world over Puntos so both are tried and tested.MJD is just famous in india because its in demand in swifts, Indicas and Diesel is cheaper in India. FE MJD has definitely advantage, but look at real figures again many bhpians have reported from 14 to 22 kmpl. Looking at current trend yes can expect good resale, but believe me Car condition really matters here,years elapsed and no of kms on the odo. Better drieveability - Do TD every week 4 to 5 times and judge for yourself. Dont rely on anyone for this. Quote:

| BHPian  | Hi samson, Thanks for the pdf but i need to mention here that 15000 one time repair for diesel in pdf is totally incorrect, if you change all the parts in Punto relating to it being diesel it wont go over 8K. Which as it is never happens, So the PDF is highly flawed. To confirm this am attaching the comparison chart of Punto diesel vs others though some serviceable parts are of petrol as well but still it doesnt go over 8K. I dont think there will ever be a need to open the engine. How 15K value is justified for modern diesel engine its out of my understanding. I also feel it was just too much business to even include interest for the difference amount in pure calculation of Diesel vs Petrol  . Some big time banker must have prepared this.Cheers. |

Diesel Car Service Cost -1time 5000.00 - (Approx one time cost can be lesser or more so change accordingly) Petrol Car Service Cost -1time 2000.00 - (Approx one time cost can be lesser or more so change accordingly) "Diesel Car extra Maintenance cost (Through years of possesion of car)" 15000.00 -(Approx extra cost over 5 years in the example can be lesser or more so change accordingly its optional thou) "Petrol Car extra Maintenance cost (Through years of possesion of car)" 5000.00 (Approx extra cost over 5 years in the example can be lesser or more so change accordingly its optional thou) See the idea is to capture the difference on maintenance between petrol & diesel. See its like this if drive more kms in a MJD then maintenance will also be more right, similarly for petrol also its applicable. First enter number of kms depending on running then enter maintenance costs for your running, FE also you can enter for both city and highway. If one drives too much on highway versus city then probably the breakeven point will be reached even faster. Change values and play around you will have a fair idea. Coming to the interest calculations, well money saved today and invested well will surely make a difference at the end of 5 years. Imagine if one invests the difference for the duration of the car say 5 years in a good Mutual Fund other than just bank FD, but anyway its  .Note from Mod : All points covered. The petrol versus diesel debate has been well covered on the forum. Please search. This thread = closed Last edited by GTO : 27th October 2009 at 23:14. Reason: Thread closing note | |
