Danish bhai, a Surf is a great car no doubt about it. Yet, it can not compete with the drive of a Prado.
The Surf you are talking about here should be worth around Rs 22.5 lakhs and not more then that. If the guy comes down to 22 then it's a great deal for you.
The thinking of the Paki nation is that these jeeps should be run on diesel, so I guess a petrol Surf would depreciate early and after 6 months or so it would be worth around Rs 18-19 lakhs, if all things reamin equal, as in no policy changes and stuff by the government.
I'd say go for the Surf since it's a 2005 model plus a VVT-i engine which would be much more fuel efficient then the normal 2.7 litre engine.
If you need any more assistance on my part then do let me know and thankl you for the help which you are willing to offer in terms of spreading the word around to your freinds about these cars. Really appreciate your gesture.
Regards
