Why second hand buddy?
@Visran:
I have made the same trip thrice and I can bet with any person that even a Tata indica can do this trip.Only things that stop are landslides and non-sense acts of drivers.Else my trips were done first time by Pajero,Second time by Innova and Swift and third time by Laura TSi and Toyota Fortuner and this time I'll be doing this trip in the Corolla D-4D or say is very low-powered car and a XC 60 if everything goes on as per our plan.
I have seen people driving Honda Cities,Zen etc etc many cars there.In fact leavign aside some water crossings there is nothing where you need to be cautious.
