Actually it's 35K, not 30K. It was a typo :-(

I asked him how come it ran 35K in 1.5 years. Somehow, he did not have an answer and just said 'athangane oodi'.

Me thinks the 35k running makes a strong indicator of the abuse on the car. Please take along a mechanic/ have some friend to check up on the car with a mechanic and then decide whether you want to take it. Also the landing cost for you will be 4.25+30k for registration in Bangy ie 4.55L. Is it worth it? I would say no..

What would be the best deal to buy a Aug 2006 Baleno Lxi that has done 10700 kms in Chennai. Have seen the vehicle and it is all stock. Please advice.

Friend wants to pick up this 2002 - 1.2 Palio EL. He doesn't know the mileage as yet. Any idea what the price range for such a car would be?

You may go to Used Cars, New Cars, Buy/Sell Cars, New Car Prices, Used Car Values - CarWale.com India -> "Used Car Prices" to find out the used car value. It gives quite accurate value of used car.

1.2Lacs is the price for the model here.

Planning to pick up a Swift ZXI, Thane registration, Novemebr 2005 model. Know the guy selling it. He says its been run a lot (he commutes from Thane to south Bombay almost everyday - around 60kms a day).

Carwale shows a price range of about 3.15-3.50. Going by what the dealers have been quoting for similar vintage VXI's and LXI's, this seems quite low. Any idea's on what the price should be? I'll be probably going to see the car later this week and would want a clearer idea on pricing ahead of that.

ok here goes...

I am looking at some balenos and OHC, saw one baleno at true value, june 2003, 54k on odo, vxi with stock alloys and stock spoiler, asking 3.5 lakhs... its a KL 7 AN vehicle.

however, my real query is a bit different, if i were to have 2.5 lacs to 3 lacs, what model tata safari should i look at?

Beg to differ - I have personally seen my friend's CRDi having done 1,30,000 kms without issues. He is extremely particular about oil changes & general maintainence

Cheers

IMO, please buy a new car expecially if you are going in for a loan. Out of experience I can say that most new cars are completely trouble free for the first 3 years.

You could buy the new Accent. (the Verna)

Its a risk and if you are willing to take it its your call but for a complete peace of mind stay away from this and buy a new car as someone suggested.

Yours might be one off case. Maybe the car might have been abused vary badly. Usually, Hyundai service and their cars will have not problems usually upto 1.5L kms. Many people in this forum will vouch for this.

prskumar · 26th January 2008, 23:36

I would stay away from used CRDIs that has run more than 60K. People sell off after 60K as the problems start mostly after this mileage.

Only if you know the person who owned the car and you are sure about how the car was maintained, then its worth to spend that much money on a used car.

I would stretch a little and go for a new car to have peace of mind.
