Ankit Pandey(@iamankitpande):My friend is literally crying after buying a second hand Audi. He saw a video about an Audi for ₹8 lakh and went all the way to Delhi to buy it. Within a week, the nightmare started. ECM stopped working, multiple components failed and now there is an engine issue too. Mechanic quoted around ₹3.5 lakh for repairs, with no guarantee that something else will not break after that. Now the Audi is just parked at his house. He keeps thinking, what if I had bought a brand new Maruti Swift instead? Some people buy luxury cars for the badge and show-off, without thinking about the maintenance. ₹8 lakh Audi sounded like a flex. Now it feels like an ₹8 lakh headache.
