Issues if you prefer a second hand Pajero

- Parts availability, though easy is not over the counter like needed for a primary car.
- FE is bad considering a primary car. Expect 6-8 in City and 7-9 in highways.
The worst and probably the best part is the engine. If you've driven a Mahindra Tractor derived Di engine you'll get an idea. Meaning. It has good low-end torque, much better than newer CRDe engines, but that's all about it.
- You have to drive it in a highway to see how bad it is. I for one, am not a fan of 100+ speeds but I'd like to get to 80 or 100 pretty fast and stay there. The stock Pajero is a slouch and will take ages to reach 100.
- Storage space and interior practicality is bad.
- All Pajeros now available would be atleast 6 years old. The one you are looking at is 11 years old. Ideally, you should never want a 11-year-old premium car as a primary car.
- Not all workshops repair the Pajero, make sure you have one nearby or else they'll mess with your car and pocket.

That said, Am I happy with my Pajero? Hell YES! (Team-BHPian)

- With the current prices, the vehicle is an absolute value for money. You can get a good one for the Price of a used Thar. The Pajero is probably the best in:
- Road Handling. Slot it into 4H and you can eat up the ghats with a 3-ton mammoth. Will leave peoples jaw hanging.
- Comfort, especially Middle seat.
- Superb offroad capability. With a good bumper design, it can do probably everything a Thar can.
- Again, extremely comfortable and agile while offroading.
- Very reliable vehicle.
- Absolutely awesome seating position all around. Great visibility and ergonomics. Not truck-like, but definitely not car-like. Can command the road like a king.
- Great low end. Along with great visibility, makes it driving in town so much fun.
- Scope for unlimited modifications. All major offroad parts suppliers have bolt-on suspension, camping and mechanical mods.
