1.05L km with a Chevrolet Sail UVA: Why I chose to spend 70,000 on it

I was in two minds of changing the car or getting this one fixed.

BHPian bblost recently shared this with other enthusiasts.'

The car is around 105,000 km.

The engine is good, the body is decent but the suspension was shot. Crossing rumbling strips felt like participating in a dance competition.

The windscreen had a crack as well.

I was in two minds of changing the car or getting this one fixed.

When I saw the prices of new cars, I realized that there is nothing under 20 lakhs that is even barely interesting.

The cost of overhauling this one was going to be around 70k.

So I did just that. Total bill for all the parts, service, oil changes etc came to little over 71,000.

But the car feels as good as new.

There are some minor cosmetic fixes it needs but these are not an issue for me.

I do plan on getting new seat covers someday.
