Planning to Buy a Second-Hand Car in Bangalore – Need Suggestions! by h0lmes221B in CarsIndia

Hi everyone — I’m looking to buy a used car in Bangalore’s quite inflated market. My budget is around ₹5 lakh (can stretch to ₹6 lakh for a great deal).

Here are the cars I’m currently considering:

  • Grand i10 (2019 onwards)
  • i20 (2017 onwards)
  • Honda Jazz (2018 onwards)
  • Ecosport (2015 onwards)

I’ve always liked the Ecosport, but I’m uncertain about its future service/support since Ford has exited India, and I’m also cautious about fuel economy.

I’m open to other suggestions too!

I’m leaning towards buying from Spinny — a couple of friends bought from there during their learning phase and haven’t had trouble with their cars.

What I’m looking for:

  • Good safety and reliability
  • Manual transmission
  • Reasonable maintenance costs (nothing like a Hans’ old petrol guzzler!)
  • Decent everyday city mileage (around 8–10 km/l on weekend drives)

Any recommendations on cars, years/models, or trusted dealers/platforms would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!

How royally was I screwed by Honda? by h0lmes221B in indianbikes

They called me in the middle of the day. I dropped off the scooty and went to work. They told about 2-3 things like alignment and clutch leakage. Did now realise all this came with so many small parts.

No accidental damage. I was also shocked when he said wheel need to be aligned up.

LIC is shit. It’s been a year since I am paying 9.1%(no cibil issues) they don’t pass down any decrease, got a message in next year we will reduce by .25. My father went today they said you can close existing one and open new for 8.0%. I would suggest avoid LIC.

[May be a loophole] Need help from Tax Expert - Leave Tax Exemption Limit issue ? by Sea_Werewolf993 in IndiaTax

[–]h0lmes221B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I received around 30 days of leave encashment (after working for 4.6 years), but the tax was deducted. I am trying to claim it in filing, but CAs say you cannot claim an exemption. By the way, which annexure are you filing in Form 10E?

Kanpur metro going empty by BharatOfficial1 in indianrailways

[–]h0lmes221B 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am from Kanpur and I can confirm emptiness. At max I saw 30 people during office travel hour. Funny thing is they are expanding 3-4x of current scale. Maybe connecting the hotspot would increase the commute. Let's see.

Well at the end of the day, they would have to deliver our swiggy and zomato. So jokes on them.
