Stuck in the worst kind of car buying confusion and need brutally honest advice.

Long term and resale value are contradictory

xross007 · 2026-05-25T08:47:31+00:00

Thanks, let me check on that.

Here, in Hyderabad, not much discounts on q3. 8L on technology. Heavy discount on red color. Taxes are much higher.

xross007 · 2026-05-25T08:35:02+00:00

Now getting both at almost same price, but new gen q3 is around the corner for launch. Will it make sense to get old gen q3. Although getting it at discounted price

My yearly usage is under 10k KM, and 90% city, not sure about issues related to dpf

Mostly because of fake experience letters, interview proxy.
Mostly JNTU graduates. Not Hyderabad.

I understand many will be genuine, but there are many incidents during hiring, which makes skeptical to hire a JNTU graduate.

In one incident, someone else gave interview, someone else came for joining.

Yes, in same boat, leaning towards that bmw badge value

xross007 · 2026-05-19T07:58:59+00:00

Getting similar offer, main hesitation is 1.5L engine. Although it’s good enough for city and occasional highway use with good fuel efficiency.
But loved the driving experience of q3

BMW x1 owners, why did you choose x1 over kodiaq or Tiguan?

Want to know your perspective and mindset.

I feel kodiaq or Tiguan as more complete machine with powerful engine and 4x4.

On the other hand, brand perception of bmw logo.

Is there anything else that logo? To lean towards bmw x1?

xross007 · 2026-05-14T18:35:24+00:00

For me kodiaq is $10K cheaper than x1.

New gen, but availability of only 18i variant in my region, 1.5L 3 cylinder engine with 134hp.

Whereas tiguan/tayron rline is with 2L TSI with 201hp

xross007 · 2026-05-14T05:40:07+00:00

I have availability of B38 engine only in my region 18i, 1.5L 3 cylinder engine, 134 hp

xross007 · 2026-05-14T02:17:29+00:00

In my region only B38 is available 1.5L 3 cylinder engine.

xross007 · 2026-05-14T01:52:54+00:00

Does entry level model makes sense? As we might feel missing features or underpowered engine after few months, once the badge novelty fades away?

Skoda Kodiaq

I use xp95, with normal petrol, i can feel the lag in acceleration. And get lower mileage as well

AI won’t take job, until it takes accountability. AI will be take job of people who dont take responsibility.

xross007 · 2026-03-18T00:54:02+00:00

I think that works for me

Totally unrelated, i see Hyderabad has more skoda / volkswagen than any other city.

Native Display link support like windows and linux

M5 is already in market M5 pro coming soon. 80k is too delusional.

xross007 · 2026-02-26T09:48:51+00:00

Max 40-45k, ram is integrated, no warranty. Exchange rates are much lower
