- __ number of accident repairs
- minor wear & tear (wipers, bulbs, AC vents, etc)

What about transmission issues, suspension components, engine components? 1 L kms and none of them had any issues?

That's actually quite intriguing, especially if the suspension is still completely stock 100%!

P.s. Congratulations

hahahahah believe me Ninja, no transmission issue, no engine issues. Just the lower arm of suspension changed :-)

I think I am due for a suspension overhaul. Hit a really evil speed breaker with no marking or boards in Mysore Road. The skid plate and the plastic covering around the fog lamp is off and tied up with a rope now! Just to survive the journey.
Luckily it still runs good and doesn't veer to any side. Still am cautious.

Things to blame:
Driver error to a minor extent.
Horrible headlamps of my GT.
Bad brakes.

Planning to upgrade the headlamps to morimotos or some other projectors. Probably not an HID. I don't like the white light!
