| Ok, kneel all of ya! heh heh  sorry for the rude title, but thats only to attract attention to this thread! I chanced upon this forum while googling for car reviews to decide on my next car (will start a separate thread on this). I read thru a few threads and decided to register here so that I can ask my questions and get answers to them. I also hope to contribute to the discussions going on here. More about me, well, I am from Hyderabad. I work in the IT industry (I know, I know...plz dont snicker...  ). More relevant to this forum, I am also an unofficial automobile consultant to my friends, colleagues and relatives. I own a 2003 Indica DLS (*kiss...kiss*) that I am ready to sell and move on, which brought me to this forum. Wow! now i am back to where I started this post - just like a Tarantino screenplay! Ciao!

| Rules! ok! i went through the posting rules in Announcements. I am ok with them, except for the restriction on IM lingo. I need to unlearn and relearn a lot. moreover I am the lazy type. I'll try to restrict the language accordingly but please excuse any unintentional slips! are acronyms like "BTW" (By the way) or "IMO" (In my opinion) or "FYI" (for your information) allowed? and am i allowed to quote decent hindi/hyderabadi slangs and phrases like "yaaron" or "bhai" or "nakko bawa"? heh heh...just getting the rules right, because I am used to those phrases! |

| My Indica Quote:
I think I am one of the few Indica users who have no complaints about their vehicle! I bought mine (mica-black DLS) in June '03 and it has served me faithfully since then. of course there were a few irritants cropping up now and then, but overall I dont have big complaints about car (nor about the service - initially Autofin and then Auto Chenoy in Secunderabad). At present it gives me around 15 kpl which is lesser that the 17-18 it gave in the first 3 years. I have had no complaint about the engine till date except for an issue with the self starter last year. I firmly believed that diesels acquired a bad name mainly because of ill treatment in the hands of cabbies. even naturally aspirated diesels like Indica would perform smoothly if treated like a baby by the user. I service it faithfully every 5000 Kms and follow the manual to the 'T' (for oil changes etc). It has now run around 79400 Kms and I feel its time to move on to another car before this June (the expected Nano bookings from June might affect my Indica's resale value). Initial enquiries revealed that the going rate for my car is 1.5 to 1.7 lakhs. I will have to spend on some minor denting work to make it an attractive proposition to a new buyer. | |
