hi guys..... i'm looking to buy a well-maintained esteem or a baleno. this car will be my daily driver. i;m looking at a 2002-2003 model. i dont want very new or much later version as these are prone to be more expensive.

i want to make the purchase as soon as possible. preferable location of the car is chennai.

let me know fellas.

Wats the Budget,dude?
There was an awesome '04 Baleno being sold by a guy leaving the country.I doubt if its still there.

if its an esteem i don't mind spending upto 2.5L i'l up that to 3-3.25L max for the baleno.

i wont be keeping this car for more than 2 years for sure.....so i dont intend to spend a lot on it. especially the baleno since its off-production now. i'm sure i'l now have people jumping on me saying "so did the OHC and i don't see that coming cheap" but then again.....you never know!

help of any sort would be appreciated.

P.S - this car WILL feature a gas kit as soon as its purchased. thats my fathers 1st condition.

Makes good sense to avoid the baleno considering that you will be selling it off in 2 years' time, God knows what resale value it will fetch. The cheaper car you buy, the better. Yes, an used esteem mpfi at 2-2.5 Lakhs makes sense. I will keep a look out for one. cheers
