-   -   ARTICLE: How to buy a *USED* Car in India (https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/buying-car/18859-article-how-buy-used-car-india-5.html)

My wife's sister is a doctor and I would not buy her Alto even for Rs. 10. Her husband is a surgeon who has a 5-year old Ikon, and still uses old newspapers as floor mat (alongwith the regular ones). Good condition though even though he can drive at 150 kmph quite often.

Simply put : NO. I've seen a fair share of terribly maintained Dr. owned cars.

agree: There is no logical connection. Why would doctor's car turn out to be strictly well maintained? Don't know why this notion exists.

As we have a quote somewhere else on the forum: :D

Do warranty (if available) gets transferred to the second owner of the car? I guess you can't. Someone please reconfirm.

But without letting this detail know, we can get it done at the service center.

AFAIK, Yes. The warrenty can be transferred. I know for sure that extended warrenty is trasferred to the second car owner. I have confiremed this with Tata people in a Tata customer meet. If extended warrenty is, then primary warrenty must be transferable.

Hi All,

I wanted to recheck on documents for a pre-owned car. My query is for the following reason - I have a pre-owned Santro that I purchased 4.5 years back. The dealer was a family friend, so was never bothered. Bought it with no second thought and the car was/is in sweet condition. While I have no regrets on the purchase, the only documentation I have is the RC book which has my name as the second owner and the Insurance (again transferred in my name).

I do not have the original tax receipt (though the RC book has a life-time tax paid stamp), nor the original invoice. Will this be a deterrent, if I try to sell my car?

Further my car is an MH registered vehicle but I live in BLR now. Would I need either of the documents (tax receipt, original car invoice) to get my registration transferred to KA?

Regards.

sachinayak : Having a Original invoice is a safe option. You don't need Original invoice to get it re-registered in B'lore.

Thats all Bull,check in weird and wacky thread for a Doctor owned scorpio:Frustrati:Frustrati
The thing is check with a mechanic n assure its a good one,rest all doesnt matter.

I don`t believe that Dr. owned cars are better maintained than other people but i do believe that Navy people maintain it very well since navy takes care of the Vitamin Mlol:.

Here in Vizag there`s a naval base. So lots of navy cars. Owned by Indian Navy or personally, they all are very well maintained. :thumbs up

With apologies of going off the Dr. owned car topic, needed a bit of help. I am planning on buying a second hand Getz 1.3 GLS. While its a 2007 car with only 14000 KM on the odo and in a good shape. I noticed there was one issue with the car.

As a begin to slow down (dont change the gears or press break), the car tends to jerk a bit within seconds. Specially at 3rd gear.

Does this indicate any serious problem??:confused:

My Santro Xing XO was just 1.5 years old with 2,400 kms done genuinely. The 3rd service slip was still intact and without much persuasion I got that done with MGF Hyundai. The car was owned by a Railway officer's family in Delhi. The officer transferred to Lucknow, his wife and daughter were left with 3 cars and wish to sold Santro. I got in touch through newspaper classified.

I know this sounds unbelievable but its the truth.

Before you crank-up the engine of a used car, check the radio first. If all the stations play Rock-n-roll, the car has tolerated drivers adrenaline in every possible way.lol:

Please let me know the required forms to taken from the seller to transfer ownership or resell to another person. I think form 29 and 30, Anything else?

I'd include the following to hand over to the buyer:

More details coming up soon.

Form 28 [3 copies, Non Mandatory] - No Objection Certificate
