$6000, $8000...doesnt matter. Its a crap box. A 600cc engine. Top speed of 65 mph. Thats top speed, wide open, engine screaming. I guarantee its not built to run WOT all the time. Its comfortable speed is probably about 40-45. Might be ok if you stay on back roads, but places like 75, 60, 19 it would be horrible. Just imagine how long it takes to get up to speed. I would also bet that build quality and finish is crap. I mean come on, a Smart was nearly $20,000, and its smaller than the Tata.


A person would be better off buying a more substantial used car. For example...there was a very clean low mileage 2003 Grand Marquis in the paper yesterday for $6988.
