What should be the price for a reasonably well maintained vxi model?
|
1. I'll cut to the chase in a while:
I've seen great difference in Vxi and Lxi prices in true value showrooms. For example, in March this year, I saw a black Vxi '05, 20k run, sold at 4,90,000/- at the True value in Hyderabad (Rajbhavan Road, Somajiguda, don't remember the dealer name) whereas the Lxi variant Pearl silver '05 (almost same mileage and same dealer) was priced at Rs. 4,50,000/-.
The point is, 1Lac difference has depreciated way too much since they're all accessories (except C-A/C). Besides, for the difference you can pick up awesome alloys (if you're ok with non-climatic A/C and power antenna) and the spoiler would cost about 10-12k from Maruti. IMO, Lxi is a better buy.
2. The resale value of KK cars is much higher (even though AP has higher Road Tax), one in Bangalore True Value '05 Pearl silver Lxi 23-25k done was @4,95,000/-. So don't compare prices from different states, even if the road tax is higher on the other side.
3. A Vxi '05 in Bangalore should be around 4.75 - 5.00L.
Hope these points help you.
