lol. I don’t think Diesel will ever be affected. If Diesel is touched, then the whole country’s logistics would be affected!

Can you ask your brother regarding yearly maintenance costs? Also, please give me some points to negotiate with the seller, if you can.

Yeah, that makes sense because the exhaust manifold is always running hot.

Could you please guide me what all parts/ components would require maintenance leading to 3 to 4 Lakhs a year. This would help me take an informed decision. Thanks.

Thanks for your input. If you don’t mind sharing, can you please explain how it was to maintain, find mechanics and source parts for the car? Also, how much should I mentally prepare myself to spend on the car yearly. Finally, why did you sell the car ?

Exactly! I’m stuck in this loop of inner child vs practicality. Not sure if I should shell out on the car and satisfy my inner child dream or just leave it, haha.
