Kulmanji is busy picking up his favourite stocks that is what he told me over phone.

Dear All,
-Yesterday i closed my decision with purchase of Wagon R Duo (petrol and LPG)
-during the process of deciding the car, i almost ended up with decision of purchasing the hond city again.
- then i started thinking with other alternates, that if i go for the same car type again then why not to retain the same old honda city, which i had maintained nicely for last 3 yrs. this car was on company's name and i had an option of purchasing at WDV (written down value). this costted me around 3.2 Lacs
-with my remaining 4 lacs (from my original budget of 7/8 lacs-purchase price of old honda city)  i went on with purchasing additional small car, with an option of efficient fuel LPG.
-New car is under company (employer) finance and therefore will get all the benefits of tax on payments of emi/fuel and maintenance. loan is for 2yrs only. practically i will pay in installments for two years with interest burden getting offset by tax benefit.

THANKS TO ALL THE TEDies for suggestions/ help extended by them.

Congrats! How does the car drive in LPG mode?

And if you ever run out of cooking gas at home, you know what to do! Geek

Congrats sir jee.
The most important quality for an investor is temperament,not intellect.A temperament that neither derives great pleasure from being with the crowd nor against it

Thank You, Basantji.

Aapse thoda dar lag raha tha ki dusri car (depreciating asset) kharidne pe aap dantege!!!!!
Aap ka reply padhke thoda shanti hua.........

But any way, at times in the life priority changes.

Now one car is reserved when Kulamanji comes here for charing Ahemedabad summit and when we need to take him to his old favourite VISHALA/ DRIVE IN THEATER and so on.....
