Wishes to clock many miles without issues.

Good to see another happy Innova owner, How much kms it ran till date?

Thanks!!

Innova 2009 model, now about 2,75,000 km and still going strong. This is our everyday car, the kids practically grew up in it, and we've travelled everywhere in this car. And still returns about 12 kmpl in the city and 15 kmpl on the highway. Sweet car, pampered on synthetic oil, timely service, prompt replacements and service and hence the reluctance to sell it.

Already you have utilized the car for the purchase price in 2009

Whenever you sell, it will fetch you good price. So if you have parking space, kindly don't sell for now. In my neighborhood, there is an Innova 2005 V model crossed 8 lakhs and running strong, still under Toyota company service. They bought 3 to 4 cars in the last 19 years and sold it after utilizing it. But still they kept this as it was doing daily duties between their home and company.

Congratulations Sir, the car looks lovely in black.

Wish you lots of happy Kilometres!

I wanted to how much was the service package and what all are covered in that?

Great post. You made me reconsider Jeep Compass. If almost a 10 year old drivetrain with no major upgrade is still the closest in providing the experience of a German car then the vehicle has the chops.
The other car I’m considering as my first new vehicle is XUV700. That or Compass Model S.

Thanks NPV, yes all previous cars with the exception of the Innova were all black. Pain to maintain, but gorgeous when clean!!
