What are your guys’ recommendations for a nice, reliable, mid size pre-owned SUV for daily runabouts? My budget is 500,000. Some options I've considered are:
CRV (IInd gen)
captiva
Grand Vitara
Pajero SFX
Is it even a smart decision to buy a decade old SUV?
And mods, if a similar thread exists, please club this into that. I couldn't find one myself.
With the 10 year rule for diesels and 15 for petrol vehicles, I would be wary of getting any diesel SUV in NCR. Even a 10 year old petrol CRV will have a registered life of 5 years only, and practically zero resale.
Your only viable option is a 7 years or later CRV, as Grand Vitara is too old and the other are diesels.
