Planning to buy a Tata Indigo Diesel version.As my budget is very limited, I have decided to go for a 2nd hand Indigo. Now I have the following doubts:

1:> Hows the car (Diesel) performance wise ?
2:> Fuel Efficiency ?
3:> Maintenance cost ? i.e cost of spare parts, getting things repaired and how often etc..
4:> Anything else to keep in mind before buying a 2nd hand Indigo Diesel ?

^Knows only Indica diesel.it's got its own small quirks;dont expect the performance of even a m800 car reg pickup.
mileage=20Km/litre constant in highways.17-18 in city.
spare parts are cheap!

after a lakh kms,u need to change the timer belt.look out for oil spills etc.Only the engine that matters with a 2nd hand car.

^that statement holds true.only buy a 2nd diesel car after checking the engine side with a experienced mechanic.

Still,Indica comes from TATA,leaders in diesel :twisted: dont worry just make sure u got a good mechanic handy

Yea..I have a trusty mechanic who will be checking everything.also, some dealers are giving a six-month warranty on engine and gear-box!
