Sold
2006 Hyundai Santro XO ABS sold in May 2008
Rs 320,000 (bought new for Rs 418,000)
Km Run: 22,000
Reason for sale: Relocated out of India
Sold to: Friend

Bought
2007 Honda City GXi in Dec 2010
Rs 600,000 (No idea of original purchase price)
Km Run: 48,000
Bought from: Mahindra First Choice

Reason: Considered Figo, Polo, Manza, I20 and Vento. Vento was the only one that satisfied - but high price and waiting time drove me to pre-owned. So far, have driven 7000 trouble free km. Only issue has been a dead battery (the owner had not replaced that), which i replaced. Looking to upgrade to a MPV / Sedan with all bells and whistles in a couple of years.

S_U_N · 13th June 2011, 15:38

Bought 2006 Dec, Cedia Select in 2011

- Age : 4.3 year old

- Would I go back and buy this car again? YES.

mb_jg · 13th June 2011, 15:39

Sold 2006 Palio 1.2 ELX in 2011
- Age : 5yrs
- Kms : 78,000 approx
- Price : 1.35 lakhs.
- Sold to Mahindra First Choice. I believe I got a good price considering the resale value of Palio's in the current market. The car had a huge dent on rear qtr panel, rear bumper was a sore eye. Sold the car only because of the 1.2 engine, more power was sorely missed on the highways, the car used to gasp for air with 4 adults on-board (more so on the ghats).

lordofgondor · 14th June 2011, 10:44

Sold (with a heavy heart) our first family car in 2008; M800 STD, 1998 Model.

It had clocked around 50K Km and we got 50K from TrueValue outlet. Also got an exchange bonus of 30K on the Estilo we got in lieu of the M800.

But the best part was seeing it back on the road a week later. I wanted to stop and have a chat with the new owner but didn't think that was appropriate.
