5 best used diesel cars under Rs. 4 lakh in Bengaluru from CarToq True Price: Maruti Swift to Honda Amaze
Bengaluru has become a sprawling city in recent years, so commute distances have jumped. If you are one of those who clock over a 1,000 km a month, you’d perhaps prefer a diesel to keep your fuel bills low. But the budget is tight—Rs. 4 lakh at max. And you don’t want to buy something that has done over 50,000 km.
You’ll find plenty of options on any used car website. But how do you build your shortlist? Should you buy the newest or the one that is least driven? Or a sedan or premium hatchback? Stick with a best-seller like Swift or try something else? Well, simply ask a friend!
