1. there's no octroi in Kerala, so that shouldnt affect the value of cars from the city.
2. It is a matter of fact that a car from a rural or a semi-urban location in Kerala will fetch a better price than one from Cochin. Reasons are - clutch wear from stop and go traffic in cities, dents and scratches from the city drive, poor maintenance on account of lack of time, and greater exposure to salty air from the sea.
Given a choice, a person going for a second hand vehicle will go for a non-urban car because its also likely to be well looked after.
