AoA
i must say, u made the best of the decisions. R u still with the same car?
If yes, then it must be almost an year with AD Van. please share with us ur experience regarding its drive, consumption, spare requirement, maintenance (engine tuning etc) requirement.
I too had a budget similar to urs and was having AD Van 2007, Probox, Corolla and Honda City (2004-07 models) among my options. and finally i got AD Van 1240 cc in end march 2013. I got its rear seat changed and got it elevated (installing pads under shocks) by 1.5 inches. After registration and all these jobs, it cost me exactly 1 million.
So far only one long route journey from pindi to bahawalpur and got mileage of 16.5 km/litre.
