i havent been caught but look very underage...

Ok, finally saw your photo in this link. You are tall and you have a chubby face, enough to generate reasonable confusion about your age. No cop would want to stop you for underage driving and find himself disproved...

lol samurai .. i have a better pic of my self with my accord really
guys i have to decide by today so some help
my dad is now PLANNING to replace it (and hopefully it will happen too)
here is what i have -
1. accent GLE - with alloys an all
2. baleno lxi - with alloys and all
3. optra 1.6base if it comes with a deck
4. city exi with a deck only
5. ikon - but i dont want one but my dad has given ours to someone to use for a few months and if it comes back in bad condition hes selling it off

any other suggestion welcome
optra is too expensive but if it costs around 12k more then a city with an equally good deck then i will go for it in mica with beige interiors or black with black interiors

samurai, i started when i was 15 with my dad's blessings esp since he had already shown me how to change a tyre, spark plugs and the fan belt of our premier padmini by then. only i had to have him or his driver with me till i was 17.

NHC if you are looking at resale, baleno for VFM, optra for VFM is you can strech it. between the baleno and optra the optra is more modern the baleno has better VFM.

lamborghini · 19th February 2005, 10:09

thinking seriously about optra now
will go check it out soon
i think optra 1.6 will have good resale and an average of 8.5 kmpl and its pretty big and comfortable too... almost perfect for my needs and the best part is the 2 years/20000km service holiday
will k an n filters make my engine warranty void?

lamborghini · 20th February 2005, 18:36

guys i have shortlisted 2 cars -
optra 1.6 base
city exi
all that depends is which will have a better resale price
i am gettin optra for 0% intrest and the difference comes down to 50k...
should i wait for some new model to be launched.
have to decide byh april

shravan316 · 20th February 2005, 19:12

I would suggest the Optra over the NHC.

lamborghini · 20th February 2005, 20:20

hey guys
which will have a higher resale value 5 years down the line
i want optra but my dad wants city so lets see.
if i get a city i can get a good deck and maybe aloys but in an optra only fogs and an rear armrest

lamborghini · 20th February 2005, 20:22

will call up some finance companies and see if i et a good deal on the optra and city and will check up resale prices
a slightly used car will also do i.e not more then 10k on the odo

navin · 21st February 2005, 10:12

if you get the city get the CVT (if your budget affords it). the city will have better resale than the optra. the optra makes sense if you need to seat 5 adults.

optra: more space
city CVT: auto box. the perfect city car. i should know both my nephew and niece have one and i love to borrow it. my nephew being younger loves my RS so on occasion we trade.

lamborghini · 21st February 2005, 10:46

well unless i get a low used car i guess it is going to be the city manual
my dads friend is buying the CVT and i dont like the interior.
it looks good in black but needs better fabric maybe alloys from outside lets see.
but a good deck is a must
i wanted optra..
will decide once4 the E3 verion is out... until then keep my nexia
any guys thanx for all your help and keep the replies coming cause i have another few days to make up my mind

lamborghini · 21st February 2005, 11:48

howz the lancer 1.5 LX guys
is it worth it ?
or should i get an used octy diesel done 20k km
oh and if anyone is interested there is this merc C200K going for 27l done only 1kkm
bmw 95 model 318i 22k km for 6 laks and spruce it up the only minus point is that its being lying around at the docks for one and a half years so i will have to get some minor suspension job and all done ....

lamborghini · 21st February 2005, 18:52

anynew models coming out in the next 1 month?

Deeps · 23rd February 2005, 16:51

Hey, lambo. Did you manage to get rid of the Nexia? If yes, then how much? BTW, i'd suggest the Baleno!

lamborghini · 23rd February 2005, 21:15

no and to be frank i have not tried veey hard too
now heres my choices a bit different though
1. honda city VTEC done 22700 km for 5.25 in gold
2. baleno LXi
3. new honda city
4. nexia with a kit and city engine

optra is out as my dad doesnt want it
