I still don’t believe anyone would expect a quality sound system from a car that costs the equivalent of $10,000 to $12,000 USD. This is the same car whose website highlights a height adjustable driver’s seat as standard feature and lists ABS as an option.
I imagine adding rear speakers in an Etios is more about having unobstructed sound in the back seat than improving overall quality characteristics in the front seat.
I can’t answer that question but I’d imagine there’s no universal answer that applies to all cars.
How so?
@bunnspecial lives in Kentucky so you’d still be paying a lot to have a car shipped over. And a Hindustan Ambassador is at least 1/3 the size and weight of your average Bentley. The average price of an Ambassador in India seems to be around $1500 USD. Buying a car sight unseen is risky business and importing one from Russia sounds super sketchy, let alone a $11,000 one. Usually the garbage or totaled exotic cars that no one will buy in the US get exported to places like Russia.
Bentley’s parts are also heinously expensive (unless you get one from the few years that used the BMW V8, then at least some parts are less heinously expensive) and I can’t imagine an $11,000 Bentley is at all sorted. I can’t speak to the price of Hindustan parts prices, but I have this funny feeling they’re a lot cheaper than Bentley, a lot less complicated, a lot easier to work on, and probably more reliable.
Besides if you’re going to import a car from Russia it should be a Volga.
