Its not a purchase decision, just a discussion board kind of thing, where people can disucss options and weigh the NANO against the available competition

I would buy a used M800 than Nano since I've heard that Nano is meant for the city roads only like Reva !

phamilyman · 12th February 2009, 12:16

FYI old palio 1.2s do go for about a lakh or just above - atleast in delhi!

How come this M800 is left handed?

^^I support PAlio 1.2
U can get a well maintained Palio 1.2 ELX for say 1.2 L with ICE. Much bigger than Nano/M800, even M esteem.
Priceless satsfaction of owning a wonderful car than the feeling of owning a small M800/ nano cause u didn't have the money for bigger car.

Thats the price of 2 cielos.

AirWind · 12th February 2009, 13:00

I voted for the M800/Omni because, barring the intial cost (Contessa, Cielo, Amby, etc.,) none other can match a Nano in its running cost and availability of spares (Matiz)!

vinaydas · 12th February 2009, 13:04

My friend bought a palio 1.6 2001 model for 90K, with leather seats and pioneer deck. I was about to buy it when i backed out because of the lack of need at my end.

I recently sold my Santro, 2001 for 1.3lakhs! Its solidly built car than Maruti's anyday! Reliable 1.0 engine, creamy gearbox rattle free drive, easy get in and get out and so many other options. I would anyday put my 1lakh in a Hyundai rather than a TATA.

opel astras are available for 75,000 most of them are well maintained and since my friend was interested in 1 we inquired at GM service center and they say spare parts should not be a problem for the next 4 to 5 years if i was in need on a car in the 1 lakh budget opel astra would be the 1 i would go for
