My good old car

Bought my green Maruti std model on 3-apr-00 for 165000. Number KA 01 P 502, This decorated car took me as groom to the kalyana mantapa. Served me very well without major problem. Though it used to embarrass me when using LPG. Have spend just 70000 in maintenance for 9 years of usage which is dirt cheap. Add another Rs 3000/year on insurance and another 5000 for the accident I paid for the getting the Balero repaired.
Bought it from a garage near Jain college. Was working with MICO then. Meter reading was slightly above 35000. Dint not spend a paise after that apart from fitting the LPG. Had met with an accident while driving in rain, was wiping the fog didn't realize that the MUV was standing at the signal and rammed it from behind. That cost me 15000 for both vehicles was working with convergent software. Had given it to Prasanna when I went to China.
Last couple of years I went to local unauthorised service center. It hardly broke down after that. Changed battery twice once in 2003 and later in Nov 2008. changed tyres once in Dec 2001 at 45000 kms reading. When i sold on 08-aug-09 it was 118600 kms.Had driven to once BR hills and Mysore and 3 to 4 times to kadri. Sale was Swift, quick and unexpected. Had checked with couple of dealer before offer was Rs. 35000 to Rs. 40000. Went to Prerana to check of Fiat's Grande Punto. The salesman asked what was holding back. Sale of old car. The sales person offered me 40K. I said was expecting 50 to 55K. The guy said if I am selling today it is 47K. I said fine. Earlier in the day the suspension had starting making noise while driving on smooth road. Last trip was to shave Vihaan head near Doddaballapur.
Found it little difficult to handover the keys of the car. But thought it is only a material not a person. Told the guy Kiran I wanted to drive one last time, drove from Prerana motors on Lalbagh road to Sridhar's home. Felt slight bad when the guys drove the car off.
