Is it tax or insurance?if it u tax then it is a yellow board. Is it corporate company owned or owned by a travell agency? Carefull if it travell agency owned. Seems a fair bargain for a 42000 run diesel top end trim. Take it to Ford service center to check on the car. Also ask for the service history. | |

| ![]() In WB, you can pay tax for five years unlike the fifteen years in Bangalore. With that in mind, the tax expiring in August 2014 ffor a 2009 Fiesta makes perfect sense as a normal 'white board'. |

Thanks for your inputs. The ad is posted by fellow bhpian and he was expecting 5.5L. I said around 5L. Asked around mechanics who deal with my Siena and they are asking are u nuts to go for Fiat again ? I need to sell my Siena first before looking for replacement . Cheers MKP | |

You see it is the comments like these and the enthusiast in me which is not letting the car go. It has been more than 2 yrs that i'm using it as a weekend car and it brings smiles when ever i drive But now I'm searching for the blower for > 6months and it is not possible to drive without A/C. Also, the age is showing and bubbles have started appearing in some sections . So feel time to let go ![]() Cheers MKP | |

Another factor to add is the emotional attachment to something that has been part of our lives for a considerable duration. It is difficult to let go of something that is part of most of the fond memories. Due warning to all owners: either sell off your car every 5 years or be prepared to retain it forever. ![]() | |

| ![]() [ Hello N, Any car sold after being prepared for competitive racing, might be driven at high speeds & can be involved in accidents. Regards, Varun[/quote] I actually wanted a cheap sleeper car for myself hence was inclined towards this. Anyways i tried contacting the seller multiple times but the phone is switched of. So i have decided to skip. I am looking at a stock 2006 model Esteem VXI. Car has run 90K KMs. CNG fitted, 2nd owner and the asking price is 85 K. Car is in Delhi. What do you guys think about the deal. I know it is an 8 years old car and car has already run 90K Kms but i want a black Esteem and there are only few available and condition of those cars is not very good. I already own a Golden Beige carb Esteem. nIk Last edited by nik0502 : 7th May 2014 at 05:59. |

Be prepared to pay a steep price for it. In my experience, Fortuners just don't depreciate. You can expect maximum 2-3 lacs discount to the current on-road price. |

I am actually looking for a cheap, maintain-free car for the next 18 months. Post this period I can afford buying a new car. Kindly suggest a bargain and realistic price. |
