Questions you may find useful

•16w

I want to buy a pre-owned car with a budget of Rs. 45 lakh. My current options are a BMW 520d Luxury Line with around 50,000km on the odometer, a BMW X1 18d, and a Mercedes-Benz C200, both with around 30,000km driven. I belong to a joint family and currently own two Skoda Laura 1.9 TDI models (one PD automatic and the other DI manual). The new car will mainly serve as a family car and will also be used for highway trips at least twice a month. I am looking for an executive diesel sedan or a cheaper version of the Kodiaq and Tayron

Go for the BMW 520d Luxury Line with 50,000 km; for your joint-family highway runs, it gives the roomiest rear seat, best long-distance comfort, and relaxed diesel torque. It will feel like a fitting upgrade to your Laura TDIs, and sadly there are no more diesel executive sedans available now, so it's something worth getting while you still can. While the Kodiaq and Tayron are capable in their own right, they can't quite replicate the same solidity of a previous-generation 5-series and given its intended use as a long-distance family car, the fuel bills of these large petrol SUVs will be astronomical. Of the other used cars, the X1 is simply too small and the C-Class simply won't feel as premium or roomy as the 5 Series; notably in the rear seat. 50,000km is not a huge amount for a used car, provided it has been well taken care of, and the 5-series' boot is large and well shaped too.
