I would suggest renew, your car seems to be in a good enough shape to add value to someone who needs 'a car' and might not care about a few imperfections.

That's a great piece of advice, the car is mechanically doing fine, so, we can renew the fitness for now. If I may ask, what is the procedure for RC renewal?

Thank you so much avi for the kind words & I appreciate your offer, in case we plan to do so, I shall keep you updated.

Thank you so much Joli for the compliment, back in the day, we had to choose between the F10D Wagon R 1.1 vxi and Estilo 1.0 vxi. Since, Estilo was the new kid on the block and had the K-series engine, we decided to go ahead with the Estilo. Also, since we were upgrading from an Alto, the F10D 2009 Wagon R had a similar interior to that of our 2004 Alto, which did not go well in the tall boy's favour. Looking back, it was a great decision because Estilo had more features like rear power windows, better interiors etc and with time the WagonR got associated with taxi image because of Ola & Uber.

Regarding your query, yes, we did replace some belts and the likes but I don't exactly recall what was it and how much did it cost.

Got it done through an RTO agent. A simple form to fill and a few documents to attach. These documents vary from state to state. It took a bit longer for me as the RTO had lost our cars documents, but eventually after a lot of follow ups, the renewal went through.
