The Buying A Car Thread
Cankles-McJeggings I didn’t down vote anything lol
Dubman haha Never been, and never will. With all the trucks here, that thing is a coffin basically.
The first car I moved back to India was a Maruti Suzuki Alto. Still get sentimental about that thing, used to call it the Smurf Mobile. Maruti Suzuki has a brilliant reputation here; bang for your buck, extremely durable (built for Indian roads) and probably the best after sales service compared to any other brand. Pretty much got 100% of what I paid brand new, after 8 years of use, when I swapped it out for the Hyundai Verna. Resale value was amazing.
I have a Qashqai and I gotta say it’s the most reliable and hassle free car I have ever owned. Very comfortable, good on fuel, I guess there is a reason that there are so many on UK roads.
Hursty
Computer says yes.
Cankles-McJeggings Must have been a slip of the mouse. Definitely not a Jeep fan, infact one of the guys has a lime green Renegade, claims its his Mrs’, rest assured we absolutely rinse him daily for driving it.
Lol. Is he big in children’s TV or biz tranz?

If that’s his car I would hate to see his trabbs.
It’s not Yant is it?
A lol for that lime green Renegade!
rhouses If it was me i’d get something with a decent manufactures warranty such as Kia/Hyundai as you daily driver, then try and save a few grand and buy a weekend runabout for the fun factor. You can pick up a decent Z4 with a 6 cylinder engine, Merc SL / SLK or BMW 3 series convertible for about 4 or 5 grand nowadays.
Approved used is another good option. I managed to get an X3 which was 9 yrs old from BMW with a 2 yr BMW approved warranty on it for about £11K all in. Only done 50K miles and was pristine.
Can you drive, Ed?
Millsy Lol. Is he big in children’s TV or biz tranz?
Lolz that is smallminds clown car
IndustryStandard I did think about going second hand in the premium sector, but felt the servicing cost and insurance would be too high. Second hand in India is a little different, roads are awful and Indian drivers are quite aggressive, wear and tear is probably a lot worse than the 1st world.

I’d just go with a Kia Seltos rhouse. You’re already emasculated so what the fuck. You can at least be emasculated with a 7 year warranty
Having ridden on the roads in India I know how aggressive & dangerous other users are. Is it really worth buying a brand new car as the odds of someone crashing into you are very high. The Kia may have a 7 year warranty but that won’t cover you for bodywork etc.
Haha the worst/scariest place I’ve ever driven was Sri Lanka everything was like risking your life.
I’d never go there again based on that. Terrifying.
I think it has more road deaths than any other country in the world. Or did at the time.
Big fan of Rhouses’ last motor…
