Hey,stay away from Fords which are more than 5 years old.They become very difficult to maintain.Why dont you consider Baleno,OHC,Lancer,Esteem,Palio.They all fall in your budjet.

Since you want something that is powerful, stick to the Ikon 1.6 Petrol or Palio 1.6 Petrol.
They're both really good driver's cars. The Ikon has a more responsive engine while the Palio has a better ride/handling package.
Also, both have a really poor resale value, but you can get a newer model Palio 1.6 for the same money.
I think that the prices for both the cars are on the higher side though. The Ikon if it is in really good condition shouldn't be more than 1.5L max and the Palio, assuming it is a 1.6 engine and not the 1.2, in really good condition and a 2002 model should be around 1.2L.

oh ic.... ill go check out other options ........
but others i saw were pretty high like lancer/ohc/baleno...... they were all above 2.5L
so if u could help out with the price range would be great help

i live in pune..... can u suggest me some stores where i can get good deal?

Dude, pls stay away from used Ford Cars which have run more than 50K. Pls state your budget?

karanraheja · 23rd June 2008, 21:46

Suj , I wouldnt advice you to go for Ford cars above 5 years. Already Ford's
maintenance is well known. Could you specify your budget? Give a look at
Used Baleno & OHC.1.5 OHC would be a good buy if your looking for power.

suJ · 23rd June 2008, 22:30

budget between 1.5 to 2 L
well this evening i saw another 2 cars both lancer... i dont mind paying a little extra if its worth it...

1st LANCER 2001 model (not the top model).... final price 2.15L condition seemed alright.... but the dealer said little work is required with the left tyre accel and suspension..... round about 7-10k ka karcha...

2nd LANCER 2000 top model... final price 2.30L....... condition superb .. not work required(getting through a personal machanic)....... no dealer... 56K KM... full on accessories.. alloy/RED PAINT :P/spolier/music sys.

Hmmm in 2lakhs FORD's that you will get would have done 50000 up.. Its Heavy on the pocket on fuel and spares. Other than that great car.

Try OHC 1.5/1.3 99' should get a good deal.

suJ · 23rd June 2008, 23:00

What about these 2 options? Which one would you suggest? and also if its worth the amount stated?

aaggoswami · 23rd June 2008, 23:14

Stay away from Ford. Go for OHC or Baleno, for that matter.

barcode · 24th June 2008, 01:31

Only Maruti, Honda, Hyundai for 2nd hand cars please. They have a good support network and parts are available.

Ford - is a complete NO NO... Fiat cars are rock solid... Nevertheless, if possible, steer away

Pen down your budget first. Dont look at car and price. Post your budget

manikjeet · 24th June 2008, 08:46

i would suggest that you get the top model lancer the second option

and always stay way from cars sold by the dealers
i have seen most dealer pick up accidental cars and get them repaired

suJ · 24th June 2008, 13:53

Thanks for all your help. Now i think i have good enough knowledge to choose my ride. Appreciate all the help.
