A car guy told me this and I think i wont be able to buy my first car. is it true ?
me 22M and my brother 28M were planning to buy our familys first used car with a budget of 3 to 4 lakhs we had some decent options.
then comes this car guy who basically spends his whole life just researching about the industry and all.
he gave me one point that cars prior 2020 model year wont survive todays ethanol petrol as BS6 rolled out after 2020 and compatible cars came is BS6 phase 2 that is after 2022. so he warned me to not buy any car below 2020 or we will regret it forever as engine will be a trouble always.
and the owner is selling those old cars at lower price for the same reason - he said
given that 2020 and above cars are atleast 5 to 6 lakhs. we dont think we are ready to put that much on a used car rather buy a new one ?
not sure how real his presumption is but it has changed our plans completely. we were planning tiago
our requirement is just a car (just not alto or wagonr) that would give us 3 to 4 years to learn. resale value is not a concern.
is it true ?
