Johnsons, even though petrol prices are soaring, for your need petrol cars are more suitable. you yearly run is just 10K lesser than 1k per month, as per new calculation you will still be in profit with petrol car covering 10K per annum for 10 years, which is a long time to change the market dynamics with arrival of electric vehicle in flood. As said not only cost difference but maintenance and wear&tear in diesel engine is higher specially in shorter runs. Additionally put your extra 1.2L in FD to gain high interest of more then 9% in current market.

Ashish, In my opinion bike is expensive. 2003 is around 8 year old bike and that time bike’s price should have been around 80K, without Gas charged suspensions, electric start. Whatever it be, you will be spending more on service on older vehicle. I guess the price of bike should be below 40 or near to it. Other factors are also to consider like odometer reading, Place of registration, last service date or any other small modification. If you are planning to buy secondhand thunderbird then I would recommend to go for slightly newer model (3-4 yr old), for a good value of money.

Now .. petrol cost 76 & deisel costs 46 per liter. (after petrol price decontrol)

Also heard that there is going to be a surcharge added for diesel cars near future. ( means … u might get a better resale value for deisel cars)

So.. in this new situation, any change in calculations ?

My yearly use would be less than 10K KM.
But I m planning to keep the vehcile for 1 Lakh KM. (my current 2001 VagonR reads odometer 110000 KM.)
So.. should I go for petrol or deisel ( panning to take Ritz) ?

I feel that..once I complete 30K KM, I will be beneficial.
Rest 70K KM I am going to have better smile.

@ Dipesh, for your need there are plenty of cars to choose in the Petrol hatchback segment. Swift and Beat are good choice, but Beat is Cheaper on the road, though its smaller than swift. New Swift is Stylish, bigger with some smart features. Have a look at Ford Figo For a balanced car with good space and seating comfort and cost as well. Toyota Etios Liva is a good buy, if looks are Ok with you.

My travel is approximately 15000 km/yr city limit. Planning to buy a Swift or Chevy Beat. Please suggest which one would be a better option in terms of cost of running & maintenance. Do let me know if you suggest any other car.

Very accurate review of Thunderbird. I have a TBTS 2010 model and 2008 Karizma-R for which I have exact feelings as said in your review. Thanks.

Gaurav, Beat is fast moving model from Chevrolet and doing well in market, 4 yrs is long time to think for resale value. In my opinion Beat is always a better choice over Santro comparing performance, build quality, interiors, space and looks all. I guess 4 yrs down the line Beat being newer car, should have more prospective buyers for resale than Santro.
