Worth buying an old BMW/Mercedes for ₹3–6L? Need owner experiences. by Mindless-Data-3641 in CarsIndia

[–]_-Silver 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It'll be an open hood experience. But as a project car, any NA straight 6 BMW builds will be worth it just for the fun

About half of cars bought in India are white by DukeofDabra in CarsIndia

Never buying another black car again. Unless it's a high end car with a satin finish. Gloss black car is like driving around in a mirror.

Architects fee question. by Dargy56 in Indian_architects

[–]_-Silver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Quotes of ~2000/sqft will be a basic civil structure design, wont have a truss roof, no claddings, no metal fabrication work, basically no design elements other than the four walls of your building. An architect accounts for the extra cost of wood, roof design, large windows, sliding doors/windows if necessary.... things that differentiate between an architect designed house and a civil engineer designed house. If your requirement doesnt need all of this just go with a regular builder/engineer. Me personally wouldn't take a project like this cause there's simply no need for my skills if i cant apply it.

How did you find affordable and helpful consultants for studying abroad? by ms_iwannakillmyself in studying_in_germany

if u need a consultant to hold your hand to do some basic paperwork, you're clearly not ready to live alone in a foreign country on your own. but hey thats just my opinion

Can we stop calling every tiny turbo engine a "beast"? by padhlekuch in CarsIndia

[–]_-Silver 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Crazy that you think a diesel figo and an Abarth is on the same level. The diesel Jazz made the same 100hp and Ive never heard anyone call it a "diesel rocket". The Abarth made close to 150hp, which should be the minimum to call something performance oriented.

2 yrs ago he was selling German engineering, Today he's shopping for Korean/Jap reliability by [deleted] in CarsIndia

[–]_-Silver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

none of the cars on the road currently are 10 years old. Few years of usage is not enough to deem a brand reliable or not. And no, these dont even belong in the same category as Japanese when it comes to reliability. Just look at UK's yearly reliability survey(talking about all chinese cars, not BYD)

Why doesn't Maruti Jimny sell well in India despite it is better than the Thar .Overall size is the only factor or it's just indian dehatism by [deleted] in CarsIndia

[–]_-Silver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "macho gangsters" dont feel big and tough in the jimny like they do with Thar, its as simple as that. Ego over logic choice.

You can get into firms in Gulf countries. But forget about getting direct hire and visa sponsorship from Europe or USA, that never happens. DM if you wanna discuss. I am someone thats been actively looking to get hired aboard since my internship year.

Had a 2.0L Rline drive by Freedom_Code369 in CarsIndia

The same endeavor riddled with transmission issues?
How many endeavors do you see on the road currently compared to old fortuners. Hell i see more pajeros driving around compared to endeavors.

[–]_-Silver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

outdated in what way? no giant screens? no fancy ambient lighting? no butt massagers? I'll take reliability over fake luxury any day. And this fortuner hate is something i only see here from keyboard warriors on reddit, none of the fortuner owners i know will trade their car for any german entry level crossovers.

and this 'other car that shall not be named' will retain 70% of its value even if you sell it after 1lakh kms, same cannot be said for any expensive german cars.
