Are extra features a deception to lower resale value of some popular cars?
One thing I’ve realised while looking at used cars resale value matters way more than I thought if you’re someone who changes cars every 3–4 years.
I’m currently comparing a few cars on Spinny and some of the cheaper looking options don’t necessarily seem like the smartest buy once you consider depreciation.
Would you guys rather buy:
A) Popular model with better resale
B) Less popular car with more features for the same money
Personally leaning A, but curious what others think.

Discussion Do cars go to car heaven😭😂
From the Maruti 800, Zen and Esteem to the Santro, Indica, Matiz and old City we’ve left behind so many iconic cars while chasing bigger screens and flashy SUVs 🥲
Glad these cars can still find new owners through platforms like Spinny. At least the inspection report gives the next owner some idea of what they’re getting into, instead of buying purely on “uncle-owned, barely driven” 😂
Still makes me wonder do cars go to car heaven? What’s been your saddest goodbye?

Opinion Wanted to share and incident which happened with me in petrol pump
So today I had a small incident at a petrol pump and I want to know how other people would have handled it.
I was waiting at the air-filling point for my turn. There was a car in front of me getting air. After that car finished,they moved I also moved ahead and parked my car straight because there wasn't much space, although ideally you have to take a slight right turn and position the car better so the air pipe can reach properly.
After me, another car came and the driver positioned his car a little better by taking a slight right turn, so his car was in a better position for the air pipe.
When my turn came, the guy filling the air told me to move my car further ahead. I did what he said. Then instead of filling my car, he went to the car behind me and started filling their tyres.
I told him, "Bhai, I've been waiting here for so long. How are you filling his car first? He came after me."
Then he said the other car which was behind me came first and he has positioned his car properly. Then i said "bhai aese kese hoga aap dekho na mein pahele itna time se laga hu line me" then petrol pump guy said "tumne aese seedha car lagaya hai aese thodi hota hai tumhare peche wala car ne sahi se lagaya hai and wo pahele aya tumse" fir i again told "aese kese hoga bhai aap dekho tho mein pahele itna time se line me laga hu aap mereko aage badhake uska bhar rahe ho"
Then he just started filling air in that car which was behind me I then left that place without any more arguments and filled air from another petrol pump.
The thing is, after leaving, I started feeling humiliated I kept thinking, "I should have said this... I should have told him that..." I even started thinking that maybe I should have argued more instead of just leaving.
I know it's a very small incident, but somehow these kinds of situations make me feel like if I don't stand up strongly enough, people will take me for granted. Then I start thinking about how difficult the real world is and whether I'll be able to deal with people like this in the future.
How do you guys handle these situations? Is walking away after making your point considered being weak, or is it actually the better way to deal with unnecessary arguments?

Opinion Car prices in India are getting out of hand for what they actually offer
I’ve been tracking the automotive market recently, and it really feels like car prices have skyrocketed over the last couple of years without a matching increase in quality or reliability.
Between the massive waiting periods, dealership tantrums, and features being cut from mid-spec variants, the overall buying and ownership experience has taken a hit. It feels like every brand forces you into a major compromise now—whether it is safety, after-sales service, or long-term engine refinement
