You must have maintained the Alto well. Appreciate. But why do u think 1L done by Zen has made it weak? It indeed depends on how the car has been maintained, like Esteemlover says in the previous post. If you find the car good, then you should go for it. It can easily do one more ton.

Kindly check the vehicle maintainance history. If the vehicle has been well maintained, serviced at regular intervals then it shouldnt be a problem. I own a Zen myself, but it has just completed 50k. But one of my friends has clocked around 2 Lakhs km and it seems the vehicle is still in good condition. It would be good if you could get it checked by a mechanic before buying it. There are chances that the piston might be weak.

I think you should bargain still. If it is around 4.5 or less, it is a decent deal from what you say regarding the condition of the car.

Also, do investigate as to why the car is up for sale so soon?

Bad deal second hand getz for 4.9L instead buy another car may be Swift Vxi well within that budget Getz has a really very poor resale, you may never be able to sell it at a equally good price.
Buying is easier than selling.

Well I know the owners, reason for selling is that they don't use the car at all. Even I thought the price was on the higher side, hence the query.

Lol 4.9 is way too high. Try clinching the deal within 4.5. But unable to understand why you are going behind getz when you will have other choices (new cars) at that price. Also, pls check the current prices for the cars at carewale.com.
