The car would be used occasionally, mostly for semi-long trips within the State, and most of the roads in my area are in poor condition.
Need recommendation for buying a reliable used car under 2L

Yes Prices have skyrocketed. I was also looking at those two options. Can I get a 2006 Bolero DI Turbo version at this price?
In the year 2018, my Dad's friend sold his well maintained MS Ritz for 1.8L and the same car today is quoting for 2.2L. This is just crazy.

If you don't care about looks and looking for driving centric cars. Look for ford Figo with low odo kms. Spares are pretty cheap & reliable. Ford diesel engines are rock solid and enjoyable.

I was about to look for these but was leaning more towards Ritz and Brio. However, would anyone recommend a Bolero DI Turbo?

I have the Ritz diesel. Maintainance is easy and the parts I believe should be available forever since most of MS cars like the swift dzires which are used as taxis share the same engine. Only issue I find is the stiff suspension which shouldn't be a problem if you have good roads. The steering is also on the heavier side since it's hydraulic as opposed to electric, but the feel is really nice.

Under 2 lakhs will probably fetch him a first gen figo. Unlikely to find a low odo one . Also those are prone for injector failures and leakages related to turbocharger and allied components.

At that budget, I suggest to look for Tata Sumo Gold, Mahindra Bolero/Scorpio Classic. Also, try to see classifieds from Assam, they may have better deals than Meghalaya.

This thread is getting a lot of responses—thank you, everyone, for sharing your insights! I really appreciate it.
I ended up going with a Chevrolet Beat, which I got for cheap from a friend. I plan to keep it until the end of the year before moving on to a Bolero DI Turbo. I test-drove a few of them, and man, they were torquey! The build quality is solid too. I was about to finalize one Bolero, but then the Beat came along.
Would you guys like me to share some pictures of the Beat?

Green looks good to me. Maybe keep it for a few days/weeks/months and you might start liking it.

Now I am starting to like it and I started noticing the same color being used on other vehicles too
Yes I agree, externally it does look good. The engine as well is on the good side too. There are some parts that needs to be replaced like the arm bushing, AC filter, etc. Nothing big though
