I was on the lookout for a good pre worshipped car for my daily usage at Ahmedabad, pre-requisites were:
1. Petrol
2. Automatic (non AMT)
3. Good ground clearance > 180mm
4. Newer the better, but definitely not older than 2017, i.e., 5 years

I came across a few Creta AT, Honda Amaze, Honda City, Honda Jazz and finally a Maruti Suzuki Brezza.
The Brezza was my choice because of below reasons:
1. 2020 March, so I am safely assuming it would have not spent much time on the road due to lockdown restrictions
2. Smooth 4 speed AT
3. Smart Hybrid
4. Good ground clearance
5. Plane jane look, does not attract attention
6. 4 Star safety of the previous gen car
7. Price quoted 9.75 Lakh, negotiated and finalised at 9.10 Lakh including RTO registration charges
8. Relatively low mileage of 26k kms
9. Not many scratches, the ones that are there havent been tried to repaint, hence original paint all over.

Fellow TBhpians please let me know your views.

Sorry for the mistake...

Its a Oct-2012 Manufactured, Nov-2012 Registered Vehicle.

Considering purchasing a USED 2022 (Aug / September 2022 registered) BMW 330Li, BH Series

1. What should be the right price for such a model given the following:
(a) that RTO fees has only been paid for first 2 year block?
(b) running of ~10,000 KMS
(c) First owner - company

2. How should I go about negotiating a price - would the below be a correct ball park?

Price = [Ex-showroom price in 2022 - 15% depreciation] + Balance insurance cover for 1 year + RTO fees for balance 1 year.

Have you considered the Toyota Corolla altis? There are a few examples available on olx in Ahmedabad with low kilometres and service record in your budget.

Wait, what is the scenario of RTO fees paid for 2 years!?
I thought you pay the RTO for 15 years & get the re-passing done after that for 5 years.

Found a 2020 petrol Brezza with 4 speed automatic gearbox in Chennai.

The car seems fine on basic checks. It has run around 45k. Spoke to the seller and he wants 8.5 Lakhs after initial negotiation.

Is this a good option and is the price OK? If the price is not right, what is the price I should look at?

Looking for a proper automatic so rules out a lot of amt options.

Hi, Corolla Altis has a ground clearance which doesnt suit my area of travel. I have already taken delivery of the 2020 SHVS Brezza, and I am liking it, not loving it yet, because I have been spoilt by my Nexon EV max Jet edition.

8.5L seems reasonable imo. Insist on a thorough check with a trusted mechanic and see if car has clean service history.

The Brezza 2020 is a good car but why not stretch budget slightly for a brand new Amaze CVT? Even the Magnite/Kiger CVTs could be worth a shot if you slightly relax your budget for a new car, instead of spending 8.5L on a car which is nearing 50k on the odo?

Considering selling my Creta. What starting price should I list it at and what's the good price to settle at? No rush to sell, can keep the car parked for 2-3 months.

Details are:

- Feb 2017 make, SX AT Diesel, 58,000kms
- Black colour
- Single handedly driven, first owner
- Good condition inside out, serviced at HASS, no mechanical repairs or issues
- Tyres less than 10k run
- PB65 registered

Separately, the car is currently in Noida but is PB65 registered. If I sell to aggregators (Spinny/ Cars24), would I get a better offer in PB65 region than NCR? Or is it largely the same?

7.75-8L would be a better deal considering it to be a 4speed old school gearbox and assuming it’s got new wheels. Car of this size is hard to find in AT avatar in this budget.

I have been looking out for one for a long time. Any leads on a proper AT hatch do let me know.

Hey T bhp family, what should be the right price of 2019 Skoda Rapid Ambition Diesel (30k driven) MT in Bangalore? Single owner, new 205 section Yoko Earth . Insurance to be renewed and mirror folding motor should be replaced.

Hi everyone. Need to replace my Yeti. Have zeroed in on Tiguan as a suitable replacement.

Found one in pretty good shape here in Mumbai.
Its a 2019 model, Highline diesel with about 36k kms on the odo. Asking for 27 lakhs.

I know used car prices are bonkers, but Rs.27 lakhs for a 4.5 year old German car which was Rs.38 lakhs new, just doesn't sit well.

2018 BMW X1's are available in the 25-28 bracket and present much greater value than a Tiguan for 27 lakhs. (however i am quite keen on the Tiguan)

What would be a fair (and likely) price to close the deal?

?

I would say between 24-25L. It's a low run car. Diesels in general are run around 20K kms on average per year. This Tiguan has done half that. If you're happy with the condition, I would say take it.

Hi Guys,

I am considering a Toyota Fortuner second gen, 2018 and above vehicles.

I dont mind buying a 4x2 Automatic Petrol.

Looking to purchase in Mumbai without a dealer, but the search has been very disappointing. All vehicles available are through dealers who are asking for unreasonable rates.

Manifesting my wish here and hoping the community will come to the rescue!

Please do share any leads if anyone is looking to sell or know someone who is looking to sell.

Do look through Facebook Marketplace as well as OLX. Search specifically for non-verified sellers. Usually you will find cross-posting across various forums. If you don't mind 4x4, look across 4x4 groups and Toyota groups on Facebook. Eventually you'll find a few examples.

My journey for the Pajero Sport took me 18 months and over 30 examples. Zeroing in on 4 and finally settling to the one I bought. I didn't give what was asked for, instead I quoted what was a good price above market value and gave the seller a month to find a better price. Eventually, he came back to me. No one even quoted close to what I did.

Never be in a hurry to close the deal. Take time and do your due diligence. Take help from a trusted friend or mechanic who knows what to look for.
