for a 2005 car, extended warranty should be till 2009

rocksterraghu · 27th October 2007, 01:48

If the car is in pristine order, the price is more than justified. Get it checked by a mechanic and if it all seems ok, buy it!

Flipside - since you already own a Baleno, you can look at other cars for variety sake.

Go for it. Seems to me like a fair deal.

bblost · 9th November 2007, 15:26

try carwale.com

they usually have very accurate reports.

optra is not hot in second hand market. a seconds car dealer in chennai told me that an optra bought for 8.6lacs in 2004 (no sunroof, no leather seats, petrol, 1.6 LT i guess) would fetch only 3.75lacs today.

co registered means company registered?? if so beware - company owned cars might be passed on to more than 1 employee without any change in RC before landing on you.

whats the price quoted? go for it if its like 4.25lacs or so. remember that you might find it real hard to sell it when it hits 6yrs or so. I wont be surprised if GM discontinues optra by the time you wish to re-sell.

One of my friends is still struggling to sell of his 2006 model "drunkard" (Optra LT 1.8 AT). He started with 10 lacs and now at 6 lacs and still no luck. I think in your case, it shouldnt be more than 5 lacs.

madhokritesh · 9th November 2007, 21:33

This Optra belongs to the Owner of the Co and its in real good shape with Org Paint and Tyres and just done 32k kms, i think ill offer him 3.5lakhs then if he dosent agree ill offer 3.75, lets see if it works out.

lamborghini · 10th November 2007, 05:33

I think 4-4.25L should be a fair price for the Optra.

JayD · 10th November 2007, 08:11

A 1.6 Ls in quite a good condition went for around 3.75 here. So this one Since its fully loaded will be around 4.25. But beware, the 1.8 is quite a drinker!

madhokritesh · 10th November 2007, 09:54

Wots the milage that the Optra 1.8 returns?

NIP · 10th November 2007, 12:58

a close friend who owns an optra 1.8 gets around 7-8 in the city (bangy) and not more than 10-11 on the highway. a little enthusiastic driving and these figures go lower. beware of this guzzler !! parts are on the expensive side too. get it only if you intend to do minimal diving daily...

BUSA · 10th November 2007, 14:23

NIP who said parts are on the expensive side, have you owned one to comment on that, or just hearsay. 4.25-4.5L is more like the price.

madhokritesh · 10th November 2007, 18:48

I too have heard that the Optra Spares are real cheap as compared to the Corolla or the Civic and Skoda.
