Inspired by Iron Rock, I recently came across and bought this Montero on OLX. It is quite a beast. Still getting used to it. Will post updates here. Currently sorting out minor niggles. I bought this from Chandigarh, and will do an interstate transfer.
My approach was to initially send my trusted mechanic to check out the car. I test drove this idea by asking this mechanic to test drive a Pune Montero. He came back with glowing reviews and later when I saw the vehicle for myself the only glow was my ears glowing red at realizing how much time had been wasted.
I then flew down to Chandigarh, and did only one test - whether the car could do 0-100 in 10s (Iron Rock had told me his Montero could do it). It did. I paid, got 5 new tyres Michelin LTX Trail (same as in my Pajero AT) and drove back. It was a superb drive in cold weather. The car seemed to rocket to 140 as soon as i thought of it, and I had to fight to stay under the speed limits lest the seller should get my speeding tickets. But I sneaked in 2-3 instances just so I could validate my purchase. It is a 2011 model, and has done less than 100k KMs.
I do my prayers everyday (making sure I touch 100+ and 0-100 in less than 11s) for my peace of mind. I believe in healthy and mindful living.
I have kept my PS Automatic stock. This car I want to try a few minor mods, like a music system to start with. It has a Rockford Acoustic Design system, but one which is largely dysfunctional, so I am replacing it with a Blaupunkt 900 DAB 9" carplay and Android system. I got interiors cleaned up by 3M.
Best Regards
