It can't be June 2007. Open the bonnet and find the VIN plate on the car. It has a mm-yyyy stamped on it. If it is is A-06 It is January 2006, B-06 February 2006. Since he mentions it to be June-07, it should have a F-07 stamp on the VIN plate. The FE of the Petra is good and I can vouch for it.
If I were you I would offer him 4 lakhs
. Because at that price you don't hurt your resale.

Anyways see the piece and check seatbelts for manufacturing date.
|
No Tanveer, the seat belts are not always indicators of manufacturing month of the vehicle because my car was manufactured in July2006 but the date on the seatbelts is somewhere around 2005.

5. Service of a FIAT D car at Tata dealerships.

Available with basic service spares. Not sure about your side of India.
Unless you get the car for anything between 4 and 4.5 lakhs ON Road. Don't consider it.
The Marina is a good package.
