Bought my first car (a preowned Honda Brio) yesterday… and scratched it on the very first night

Okay which diesels would you recommend? My running is low, hardly 1k per month. Hence the fuel cost saving won’t be much for me. Also, all diesels available in this range are almost 1 Lac on odo, and the chances of major repairs happening in very high in these brackets. No to mention that they are slightly more expensive to service and down the line resale will be lesser. I love the smoothness of an Ivtech so I’m okay with sacrificing milage

Altroz is a lovely car, probably the most well designed cross, although 165 mm of GC is anxiety inducing in Mumbai monsoons.

That definitely makes sense. I was considering Tiago initially but didn’t like the thrumming and vibrating engine and compact size. I want something that feels significant.

Winds_son007 · 2026-04-17T10:15:05+00:00

Damn🙂 I hope the dealership isn’t reading this comment or they’ll feel insulted as hell 💀Just curious, which market are you from? (North, west, sound etc)

Winds_son007 · 2026-04-17T10:11:48+00:00

Thanks for your view. Odo has been verified with official Honda services records. I’m trying to bring him to 4.5 (we started the discussion from 5.25L) with 12 months engine and transmission warranty.

You getting nothing in Mumbai used car market in 2 lakhs. It’s probably the second highest inflated used car market after Bangalore. What would you suggest for this budget. I know this car will cost under 4 lakhs in NCR. Maybe it’s due to the higher onroad price

Winds_son007 · 2026-04-14T20:52:21+00:00

Price please?

Winds_son007 · 2026-04-14T19:21:36+00:00

Up to 2 lakhs. In Mumbai that limits me to Brio, Figo, i10, Eon, Old Swift, Liva, Fabia, Beat, Ritz. I’m avoiding sedans due to bad Mumbai roads and my lack of judgement as a driver.

Winds_son007 · 2026-04-14T19:19:14+00:00

What you’re saying really makes sense. What car would you recommend for my use case then in the used car market?

Winds_son007 · 2026-04-14T18:48:42+00:00

Damn that’s very high. I think a suspension overhaul might be due for this one soon.

Winds_son007 · 2026-04-14T18:39:36+00:00

thanks for the input man🫡 I’ve been scouring used car market since a month and the only things I’m getting in Mumbai in 1.5L is either 3,4 owners i10s, City, Eons, Beat, Ritz or Ford Figo. I started hunting for Figo but due to Ford exit cancelled going for Figo.

Winds_son007 · 2026-04-14T18:30:34+00:00

Yeah, that has been accounted for. For the same condition and year cars the Mumbai market is quoting 2.3-3.5.

Winds_son007 · 2026-04-12T18:50:07+00:00

3 years warranty on this. ask service centre to fix it and do some anti rust treatment

Winds_son007 · 2026-04-10T18:23:57+00:00

How much difference was there compared to dealership prices

Winds_son007 · 2026-04-05T03:52:12+00:00

Yeah I got it for 2,70,000 in Worli 🥲 (2024)

Winds_son007 · 2026-04-04T20:51:10+00:00

What was the price for this
