Yep you should be getting around 2.6L and that's a neat price.
I would suggest yu to keep this vehicle.
Zen is a marvellous car

My 2005 Zen with 35000 on the ODO was evaluated by True Value and they quoted 200,000 INR which I thought was a good deal. 2.6 is way too good.

Thats an amazing price. I think someone from true value wants to keep it for himself otherwise these folks usually keep a 20k-25K margin.

So if you already have decided to dispose the car, take that offer asap!

if you could try to get a seller other than dealer then you should get a better price atleast 2.8L . Assuming that the odometer readings are genuine

True value will always pay you less. my friend got a mid-2004 LXI 30000kms with all accessories and ICE for 2.5L from True Value.

Default BalenoVxi 2006 @ 4.9L a good buy ?

My friend has been offered a single-owner 2006 Baleno Vxi (Kerala regn) for 4.9Lacs and wonders if it is a good price. The car has run 28000 kms and belongs to his friend's friend and is a pretty clean vehicle overall.
The current owner is selling it as he wants to get an SX4.

What do you used-car experts think about this deal ?

Note : A new BalenoVxi was like 6.5lakhs on-road at Chennai in 2006. At that time, road taxes being lesser by a substantial amount in Kerala compared to the tax in Chennai, I am assuming it would have cost the current owner around 6.35 to 6.4 lakhs on-road.

28000kms in a year or so! I think 4.9l is a bit high for the car. Nevertheless if your friend has faith in his friend, no harm in going for it.

I also thought that way initially. But then if it is a Jan 2006 car (not sure of the month), then it is almost 2 years old and 28K kms seems somewhat OK for 2 years of ownership.

Thanks for the price, CrazyDriver. So a depreciation of 1.6 lakhs in 2 years. Does it sound like a good deal ?

we are getting balenos 2006 model for 4.2 lakh in alleppey.no way its a deal as the model is out of production.i had a 2000 model one which sold for 9 lakh at that time for 3.5 lakh.60000 on odo and perfect.so 4.9 is a bit tooo high.4.25-4.5 would be ok depending on the condition.
ra,

Another point is the huge discounts that were available for Balenos, dont pay more than 4 lacs.

If you can stretch, go in for a new SX4.

better check with used car dealers in your area. Check what they are charging for similar models. Around 20-30K more or less than their value would be ideal.

SB, 4.5L is a good price for both parties though 4-4.2l would be a terrific price for the buyer. I am sure the dealers would have offered him 3.8L or 4L max. VXi & LXi makes very little difference in the used car market section.
