Petrolheads, what's your ideal 30 lakh rupee Garage?

akshaymahajan · 25th October 2010, 18:17

This sounds interesting.
First will be a Gypsy King running on 33 inch tyres and plonked with a Baleno engine to conquer Delhi traffic and also so that those Tavera Taxi people stop and give me way before I crush them. (8 lakhs considering a used Gypsy)
The second will be a nicely done up E36 (just love it since Abix did his car up) (probably around 8-10 lakhs)
So am left with 12-14 lakhs. This calls for a Toyota Altis. I mean the first two will be in the workshop for some reason or the other, so I need a Japani gaadi that never lets me down.
If somehow am left with a lakh (or I will get a loan) a black Thunderbird (because I love it and have been dreaming of buying one)

skoda laura 1.8 TSI (14 lakhs)
used toyota Innova for family (7 lakhs)
hyundai i10 AT for city (5 lakhs)
a used jeep/ gypsy for off roading (4 lakhs)

harishsegar · 25th October 2010, 18:37

Ofcourse a mix of cars. My choice would be a Fortuner + Tjet.

condor · 25th October 2010, 18:45

Option C:

One good SUV - a 4x4, more for the package than for off-roading
One Sedan - must be equally good for city & highway
One small car for the city & for the bad driver

cityvic · 25th October 2010, 18:46

New civic-13L
Used Fiesta 1.6S-5L
New Innova-12L

buddha · 25th October 2010, 18:50

I chose option C
Would go for a Honda Accord (/Skoda Superb) + Honda Jazz.

But I wouldnt mind going for Option A if I already had a second car - which would probably be true for most buyers. I mean, any guesses on how many people actually have just the one Merc/BMW/Audi in their garage, and nothing else?

Klub Class · 25th October 2010, 18:56

Option C : A cocktail of cars!

Fiat Palio 1.6 GTX SP PS - 2L
Fiat Linea T-Jet Plus - 10L
Fiat 500 14L
Old Honda City VTEC 4L

Amith

Manoj2268 · 25th October 2010, 19:11

The cocktail:

-- Pre-Owned(and Peted

) Chevy Cruze for the long highway drives(9L tops).
-- Used Naked Superbike a la Honda CB1000(5L tops)
-- Used Swift P for city runs(3L tops)
-- Build a capable 4x4 gypsy(4L tops)
-- Used Karizma for small errands(50k tops).

I'll spend the rest on riding gears, fuel and ICE.

Heady, Isn't it?

gaurav_chopra04 · 25th October 2010, 19:17

Option C for me:

1. pre owned 3 Series or an A4. (15-17lacs)
2. pre owned Mitsubishi Outlander. (10 lacs)
3. pre owned Cedia/Civic or a 1.6 hatch (5-7 lacs)

acidkill · 25th October 2010, 19:21

1. Toyota fortuner and
2. Vento Diesel / Linea TJET

A brand new A4 doesn't sound so bad

Yes, I'll take a black one with red leather interiors please. Righto!

petroguzzler · 25th October 2010, 19:37
