The used car market is flooded with various models that are being offered at competitive prices. Today, there’s a trend of acquiring new cars regularly by disposing off previously owned ones. Models such as the Maruti 800 of the 90s can be fetched for as low as Rs.50, 000. Can a cheap car be a good buy? After all, one can’t really rely on old parts and might have to shell out a lot of money on upgrades.

Questions like these and many more had left me in the lurch. I had to do a lot of research before I struck a deal for a 1996 WagonR LXi last November.

By now, I have driven it for about 20,000 kms and have found it to be really economical. It gives great mileage of around 14 within a traffic-congested city like Bangalore. At times, I’ve even got a mileage of 16+ within the city. Another thing that I liked about the car is its ground clearance. Even on bumpy roads, I haven’t faced problems. I agree that this has also got to do a lot with driving habits and the kind of fuel we use.

The WagonR, inspite of its boxy looks, is value for money and fun-to-drive. The ‘R’ in WagonR stands for ‘Recreation’.

I just don't agree... who says the used car market is flooded with atttactive prices? I would rather settle for a brand new car.
