Hello friends,
I've a budget of approx. 400,000 and currently I can see two options to buy: Santro (2004/2005) or Cultus (2000/2001). Kindly advise which one would be a better car and why, considering the following important points:
- The car is required for family purposes and is not going to be used on daily basis.
- I know that Suzuki's parts are more accessible and relatively cheaper. Moreover, Suzuki's resale is another good point in its favor, but how significant is the difference and how much should it affect my decision to select a car?
- I'm from Karachi (near Safoora Chowk/Gabool Chowk/Mausmiyat) so any specific answer would really help.
- One of my friends advised me that it is quite hard to find a good mechanic for Santro. So he recommended me to buy a Cultus instead.
Personally, I would have preferred Cultus because of cheaper parts, availability of mechanics and resale, but the models as old as 2000s are really turning me off. Moreover, unlike Santro, there won't be EFI, power window, power steering, etc. So I really need some help here guys. Will be really appreciated. Apart from that, feel free to recommend other cars as well in the given range.
Looking forward to your help
