Rohin staright question how much did you get to write that article. Please do not ever make the mistake of misleading people you will fall flat on your face or better still on your ... you know what
If u live in city buy a Maruthi Alto or SPark Low maintanence and no cash drain in name of service, if u want to ride in hatchback rent one and go for one day
suggestions: - if possible buy directly from owner - consider repair and spare costs and availbility of trained mechanics before buying in addition to running costs - check the history of car with agency, agency has details when the car was last serviced and at what mileage - get checked by a qualified mechanic you trust - pray, say lots of prayers.
.. Most used cars are due for services , tyre and battery changes etc.
The Mercedes Benz cars cost upwards of Rs. 30000/- for just service and spares can buy your small hatchback. Unless you know a lot do not fool around with expensive old cars. For a 2 nd hand buy - 3 box cars like Maruti SX4 & Hyundai Accent are safer with moderate spare prices almost similar to hatches. The ones to avoid are skoda , Honda and ford for their ridiculous spares prices - as also for their greedy dealers.
The core reason for this is that those car makers who succeed with a small cheap hatchback have cheaper spares & friendly dealerships.

I have bought a new Hyundai Accent Executive around may be 10 months back. I personally suggest that its the value for money car. I got it for 5.3 road price with some free-bies like all car accessories right from car cover and also a sony music player with USB slot as well.... Think the price has come down even further now...
