Hi all, Im new here so sorry for any mistakes.
I had brought a second hand Fiat Palio 1.2 last year and it has done 14 months in my hand. Had bought it for 1Lakh.
Now the car is a 2002 model, done 68000kms...Yea its old. Had bought it basically to learn driving(didnt want to spend on a new one and ruin it) but then I fell in love with it. The built, the performance, the space all are top notch even for a car which is 11 years old..
Now I'm at a crossroads. I have got a job in Bangalore and will be shifting there. No one knows driving at my home so I have two choices : Take the car with me to Bangalore or sell it off.
I have a fellow whos willing to give 1.5lakh for the car and considering the price I paid for it, seems a good deal.
On the other hand, I really love the car..The engine is butter smooth even now, and besides some small problems and niggles, I havent faced any big issues till now. What do you guys suggest? If I keep the car and spend some money on mods(better seats, alloys, just to make it look better) , will I be in trouble? What would you do ? Will the car suddenly start giving me problems? Its after alll quite old so Im a bit apprehensive. Really confused
The only major issue I can see from the car is a small, very very thing hairline crack on the valve cover. The crack is quite small and the mech guy says its in a non pressure area so shouldnt be a problem but it does leak some oil overtime.
Suggest me please ..on the pros and cons of keeping the car vs selling it...
(in bangalore I will be using it once a week for short and occassional long drives)
