A Maruti true value shop is here, near to my place in Trivandrum. Its a place where you can buy and sell Maruti cars. An year ago there were no more than 3 or 4 vehicles there. We inquired for an omni there and we couldnt get one cos they didnt have an omni with them.

But now the situation has changed, the whole place is crowded with cars, the guys have started parking cars outside of their parking space. But all the cars that are kept there for selling are Maruti 800s. It seems like everyone is dumping maruti 800s. Its logical also, there are many new cars in the market and 800 is the lowest cost car.

I inquired about the price at which these cars are being sold and found out that the true value price is around 1 lakh with a 1 year warranty. If you buy the same car from the original seller you will get it for around 70K to 80K. Thats almost the price of a new auto rickshaw.

Now that presents an opportunity, buy 10 maruti 800s, fit them all with gas fuel converters, paint them all yellow and run them as city taxi. One 800 taxi on the road wont cost more than 1 lakh.

Advantages

1. 4 passenger capacity

2. Air Condition (big time advantage in towns)
3. Comfortable journey

Anybody out there ready to spend 10 lakhs ?
