Zen - MH410

Hi guys,

I bought a maruti zen mh410 ( carb engine ) from my friend. Wats ur view on this car. ( car has run 60 k)

its a good car with whole lot of goodies with minimum mantainence

@aravindh: which year model and how much did u pay ?? Any thing you had to spent at the garage ??

I got 97 model for 90k.spent 3k for change of oil and noramal services in MASS

it is bit costly no?

it is infact a very costly buy...should not have paid more than 50K. anyways...its a very reliable car..enjoy...

IMO cost depends not just on the model and its make year but also on the condition of the car and its engine. If you pay as per the year and not consider how the car is maintained then u might have to push up additional costs as you move on to gell the car to your taste.

Aravindh's 90k would be quite justifyable if the condition of the engine and the car is quite good and suits his taste. Would be gr8 if Aravindh can put up a picture of his cutie

that is true but still there should be some match between model & cost

yes I fell its a bit costly. But I could see that I am not able to find a zen in chennai seconds market.. Lot of demand. Harldy I was able to see only  4 cars in 3 mths. I was in a situ to finalise between a zen 99 model (golden colour ) and zen 97 model (reddish blue). All the zen I have seen has been with three or more than owners. I finally chose this car for the following reasons

1)I didnt see a very bit scratch in the car. The paint was still good. All new tyres.

2)I also drove the engine.. felt like a new car.

3) Then I saw the owner ( as this car is only one used by a single person for past 12 years). He confirmed that he sold it only before 7 days.

4)Odometer reading(60k in 12 years) was true according to him.

And now to tell the engine condition I drove it to 130 - 140 in ecr, didnt see any diff.. The car raced good. Didnt want to justify the cost but still.

Forgot to check whether I jacky was there. When I searched for it I found that there was no jacky in it. Its not there.. Then I felt I paid too much for the car. And after I race the car passing an estilo in signal I feel I didnt pay too much. Still cant decide and dnt want to !!! ( as there is no point to thinking abt it now)

absolutely right aravindh !  Its finally on the pleasure you get once u r in the car and the feel when u drive that baby across. The pleasure and feeling cannot be valued

That was a good choice mate !! Any pics to share
