Team-BHP - Asking price for a 2005 Getz GLS?

First of all mods, I didn't know which forum this thread belonged to (owning a car / buying a car / what car / tbhp advice ?) .. so feel free to move this to any appropriate location.

Okay, now to my question -
I want to sell my father's 2005 make Getz GLS -
- It has done roughly 15,500 kms till date and is in *very good* condition, except for a minor scratch on the passenger side door.
- Cotton seat covers for all seats
- No music system installed
- No sunfilm installed
- No keyless entry
- It's the golden color (don't know what it is called exactly)

What should be the approximate asking price for such a car?

According to me you will loose around 30% to 35% of what you have paid for 2005 Getz.

Ex-> You should get around 3.6+lacs if on road price is around 5.3 lacs for Getz after discount. This is what I feel in Bangalore.

Regards,

Ravi.

Saw some ads for a 2005/2006 Hyundai Getz.
All were asking around 3.5L + depending on the variant.
For your version, i guess it will be 3.5L ish.
OT - looking at the values of the cars in the second hand market is making me depressed. Don't want to sell off our cars after using them for 6 years.

the asking price for the gets gls here at my place is 3.2 lakhs for a mint condition vehivle but it did come with keyless entry and tint it also had a pioneer system installed it had run 12000 km this car was blue

and as said earlier gold aint such a hot color either so i would say apt price for your getz would be 3 exact even though u got it for 5 lakhs - bad deal i know

selling your car after 2 years is always bad - with hatchbacks - EXPERIENCE says it all man

but u would be lucky to get 3.5 for it

best of luck with the sale to keep us updated

HI,
You should get and expect anything in the 3.75lacs + range if your car is in good condition. Dont go by what dealers say. Try this exercise go to the top 4 dealers asking to buy a Getz GLS, see what they quote you will have your answer. I sold my 2005 Getz GlS last month via an ad in the Times Of India and got a price better than that quoted by the others inspite of the fact it had been through a major accident.

PS - I think the colour you are referring to is Real Earth which was the same as mine.

3.5L to 3.75L would be a decent amount to expect, I guess. And I think I will do this exercise. Thanks Viper.

You'll be better off selling it 1-2 years later, if that's possible.

I could hold off the sale of the car for now .. but, the thing is that noone will be using the car in the meanwhile. I have my own Palio and won't be caught dead driving the Getz (no offense, but the italian mistress is my true love). What kind of a price can I expect 1-2 years down the line ?

Try selling a Palio and you will realise the Getz has great resale value :p

Hehe .. Right. That would really make my day .. Finding out the offer price for my (relatively new) Palio.

My question remains though - What would I get for this Getz 1-2 years down the line ?

In 1-2 years down the line you should get at least 3-2.5+ lacs because first 2 years resale price for any car will come down very much and after 10% depreciation I feel.

In TBHP website there is very nice category/thread which explains about
reale value, Resale value highly depends on segment of the car and its popularity in the market!

Here brand name works better than quality/safety!

Regards,

Ravi.

Please don't give me a crash course about the resale value about the Palio. Just compare Getz with any similar variant of Swift and you'll realise it !!!
