I will advice you to take the thought of sedan out of your mind and trash it for now. Its just a satisfaction and nothing else that there should be one of every type of car in a house, whats the point of buying such an old car just for the sake of it being a sedan and footing the bills later. Better get a newer used hatch back. Your finacee will be most happy with that. Be a bit more practical and think of her ease of use in city, I myself being a sedan owner know what pain it is to drive that thing with boot when you dont even need it most of the time and are alone. Probably a Used i10 will be a very good option for her. |
Point well taken..Actually, I should have mentioned this before. I and my fiancee have a lot of common family ( Her brother in law and my brother in law are brother's ) and we travel a lot together. Now the problem is that they have hatches(Swift) and we sometimes miss a sedan for the luggage space. I am not looking for a sedan to complete my car portfolio but because it will come in handy during our travel.
My theory is also that, when I buy a new car, I would like to keep it for some time rather than selling it in the first 2-3 years when the depriciation is the maximum. Also, as and when I do buy a new car, it should be loaded (At least safety feature wise). That pretty much leaves out i10 from the question.
I was looking at the used car market just as a stop gap arrangement. Could use the car for 15-20 months and then dispose it and hopefully not loose too much money in the process. After which, my Fiancee and I could jointly look at the finances and take a call.
Hope that makes sence.
