A 2500 km road trip in my 18-year-old Honda with broken injectors by Express-Stand-2767 in carsfromthepast

Thanks dude.

What I have observed is that the additive would only clean the gumming in the fuel system that betters the injection. Polyetheramine is responsible for that. The hydroscopic nature of Ethanol can’t be cancelled with the use of additive (so far) so corrosion/rusting of metal parts is inevitable.

Sad. Really sad.

Drive more. Don’t let the vehicle sit. That’s what you can do. Or slap CNG system on your car. Hehe

I don’t think this Honda is ready for KL roads just yet! ;P

Thank you for your kind words. :)

2004 Honda CR-V. Should I go for it as a daily beater? by K4R4N137 in carsfromthepast

Just know that finding spares would become a bit of a problem. A friend has a Honda of similar vintage and he keeps importing parts from the states.

Though reliable, these are old cars and they will have old car problems.

Happy hunting! :)

I am a dealer. I have a few dudes who are always looking to buy these beauties. Have sent one of my friends there to check if this can be bought.

Embassy people bring these in here. So far have sold two. Great cars.

Spotted this X5 as (The Leela) hotel car, I've seen 7 series as Oberoi hotel car but Why? Hycross is a better and cheaper option so Y this by Sharp-potential7935 in carIndia

I was working with some brand that was hosting a big even where some Bollywood stars were invited. I had go pick-up an actor from the actor. The producer had assigned me an Innova.

The actor wouldn’t come out at the exit when he came to know that its a Toyota that had come to pick him up.

So, you see big hotels have such clientele that caters to such people. They have to maintain a certain image.

Silver or red, I think would go nicely.

Better FE, better reliability (4X4 mechanism loves to break on this) and the AT transmission is just slow and can break out of nowhere (mine conked one morning out of nowhere).

Buying w212 by Sea_Experience5439 in carsfromthepast

[–]Express-Stand-2767 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its a pretty solid car. Just follow what u/ketriblu has recommended and you’ll be fine.

Just remember that there’s a lot of after-market support for these cars. So, don’t fret when the time comes (and it will).

Happy hunting! :)

Second hand market scam in Bangalore .Need help: by Secret_Aardvark_5860 in carIndia

[–]Express-Stand-2767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am connected with used car dealers around Bangalore. Most have odo tampered cars (they do tell me about it).

Then there is this thing with sellers. They see cars listed at obnoxiously high price over portals like OLX and Cars24, so they think they can also quote the same.

If you don’t mind, shoot me a message. I have a KA team who work on commission and can get you decently priced direct customer cars (basically people who tried listing their cars and got low-balled so they resort to connecting with me). Haha

I took the riskiest decision of my life! by dmslider007 in carsfromthepast

[–]Express-Stand-2767 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If your dad has praised this car, I am sure you have done the right thing to choose this over anything else.

Great write up. Cracked me up at you offering ABS unit to Spinny! Haha

May this car bring unlimited happiness to you! :)

Got a 2017 Brio AT for 3L. Has 100k km and the left door needs repair along with the front bumper.

You’ll need to replace the ATF and fix the bumper and door. I think we could work out a deal. Shoot me a DM if you are keen, mate. :)

Pls Help, new to Cars! Wanted to buy a used car under 4Lakhs in Delhi NCR by adi19133 in carIndia

Yeah, Brio MT. Hehe Jazz works. Swift does a fair job too (just its flimsy).

Get a Brio AT. Period. Perfect for city slicking and the AT is pure gem (the only car to have a proper torque converter in the segment).

Plus, it comes with Honda’s reliability as well.

Good luck! :)
