Swift DX 2011 for around 8.7 lac. A good idea? Need help!

[usama6naseer]

I am on a budget and I have found a good condition swift DX 2011 that fits the bill. The car has leather seats and alloy rims worth 40K. One thing I am concerned about is the lack of abs. I have driven the car and the brakes are excellent. However as they are still not abs, I wanted to get review from experts. TIA.

if abs is your only concern, don't worry about it too much unless you are a rash driver or drive frequently on long routes

[usama6naseer]

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, abs is the only concern. I need the car just for the city.

[dayrider]

no issues then, just be a slight bit more careful

Waisay dont fall for this 40k worth rims wali bullshit that buyers post on ads.
These aftermarket chinese rims are worth a mere 10-20k at any shop.
I have seen people posting stupid shit like leather seats worth 50K

[usama6naseer]

I actually went to see the car and the mechanic I had with me estimated the rims to be that much.

Still, what do you think about the price?

Whats the Mileage on it?
.
I hope you know it has poor fuel avg of 9 to 11

Terrible mileage, terrible resale, terrible boot space, high token tax, S badge. If you can look past these flaws then go for it. It’s a good car but not easy on the wallet by any means.
You get the car for 8.7 (which is a good price) but have to spend additional 20-30k a year it will eventually add up to the total price. Generally I don’t buy anything that has a poor fuel average and more than 1000cc bcz those token taxes will also add up and they increase every few years. Maintenance costs are also high, parts are just as expensive as a civic/corolla. I’d suggest you get a 1000cc (cultus efi) if you can tolerate the cheap plastic interior or wait for the new 660cc PKDM alto.

Its got around 90K mileage. Yes, I know about the fuel consumption and that's fine with me.
