What to choose safari petrol or Safari diesel 2.2L

umvarma · 30th August 2007, 12:33

I came across a petrol safari two months back in Bangalore. It was 2005 VX fully loaded model with 6000km odo. It is sparingly used, even the seat covers were not removed. The dealer was quoting 5lacs. He was very keen to sell it off, and bringing the safari to our discussion even though I was not interested in it. If negotiated I could have got that for about 4.5 lacs.

If you go by the above price, the price quoted to you seemed to be too high. You can subtract about 1lac for depreciation and 50,000 diff between bangalore and mumbai prices. It won't worth anything more than 3-3.5 lacs.

Regards,
Mohan.

I surely would have gone for 2.2L but as there were major differences in family ... hence opted for VDi which by luck I got immediately. Today I paid the whole amount applied for finance which I got it from HDFC @ 11.1%. Expecting delivery on Tuesday.

Absolutely... but the josh & thrill in my body has to wait for atleast 18 months more when i would change my wagon R for a SUV.

You can expect to see many more choices than today, then and also some existing ones to vanish.

Survival of the fitest !!!
