Reasonable price would be around 4 to 5 lakhs if this is Delhi registered as well. Jettas have a very low resale value.

Dear BHPians,

Please advice on a fair value for an Ecosport Diesel Titanium MT BS6 ( Mar 2021) with very low running in last 3 years (~21K). The car is HR26 (NCR-Gurugram) registered. This one is the model with Sunroof and Traction Control added in 2021.

The car has zero minor / major accidents. No part has been re-painted and all services done in ASC. The car is insured with Zero Dep, RTI, Engine Protect etc. till March 2025 and also has extended warranty till March 2026 / 100k kms.
It only has 2-3 minor scratches across the entire body and is completely in Stock condition.

A general question. Is the valuation provided by orange book value site correct or at least close to reality?

Bumping up my own post!

I have placed adds in facebook market place to sell my car. The price quote that I generally receive from people who see adds in facebook is ridiculously low and looks like they are not serious buyers. They have a lot of data bandwith and time and just waste other's time as well.

My thought before starting to sell my car a month back was that I should be able to sell it in no time as it is a Maruti with very less kms put on the odo and it should be a cake walk. But the real scenario is different.

What would be a reasonable price that I can expect for my Maruti Celerio VXI AMT (O) 2020 model, single owner with just 5000 kms on the odo and car is in pristine condition as good as new?

Many times the issue is "expectation" both from the buyer and seller. It is also a waiting game. Your car is seen as "almost" new only by you. For the buyer, its a 4 year old car. A well maintained car tilts the scales in your favor but don't expect a huge premium on that. Try putting yourself in the buyer's shoes. Will you buy the car at the price you quoted?

To move the vehicle quickly, you need to give a reasonable price. I sold my 14 year old Scooty pep in a day on OLX to a direct buyer ( negotiated and reduced 10% of listed price). Of course, I did get a whole lot of messages quoting a 50% lower price and I just ignored them.

I just checked the Orangebook value of my old WagonR and its way off (on the lower side ). They quoted 35K while similar cars are listed for 2 Lacs on Olx for Bangalore. Cars24 quoted around 1 Lac without any inspection.

Guys please let me know what should I expect for a XUV 500 W8 (top model back then), end of 2012 model. Run for just around 41k kilometers and well maintained. No major accident. Company serviced till last year.

I know category-wise it's wayyyy off..., I sold my end of 2012 Etios Liva Diesel, 45k run, no major accident, single owner for 3.7lacs. This was in Jan'24.

Hi folks I'm Just curious to know the used luxury car pricing strategy by used car dealers. For e.g a car advertised for 1.2 crore has a value of Rs. 80 lakh in Orange book value which is considered quite a decent valuation tool. So what gives? A 40L difference is INSANE. This was an extreme one but I've seen huge variations like this on a regular basis. At what value do actual transactions take place? Would love to hear from the experts on this. Thanks.

Orange book value undervalued the cars. Their algorithm was more realistic before the recent price hikes in last couple of years post Covid. Now, it takes into account, last but price and adds depreciation as %age. However, we have car prices increasing faster, hence, cars retain their value more compared to Orange book value.

Anything between Rs 7.00 to Rs 8.00 L, I believe. The model year is important for pricing. The condition, Kms run and variant though very important come only next.

The orange book appears to be Utopian for buyers and a total let down creating potential nightmares for sellers.

I wish we get cars for these rock bottom prices when we go out shopping for an used car.

Orange book valuations are about 30 to 50% of even the depreciated insurance values for older cars. The latter is sometimes 50 to 75 % of the actual market value of the respective car.

I doubt this car can fetch more than 6 lakhs in Mumbai. 6 is a very good deal in my view. 2012 Innovas are selling for about 8 lakhs.

Actual market value depends on what we get for the car, not the value we perceive. I recently bought my Pajero Sport and used Orange Book Value as the reference point for discussion with the seller. I took the best possible price and down valued the offer based on what the car needed and quoted my price, and without bargaining I upped it by another 10K. This was because he was a very accommodative and decent person, who allowed us to take our time inspecting the car and taking it for a test drive.

The seller thought he could get more and so I gave him a month to find other buyers and notify me if there was a better offer. A month later, he got back in touch with me and the deal was struck at the same price I offered. When I asked him about the other offers he got, he said it was shameful even to mention the prices they were quoting.

Am I sad that I paid more? Not at all. I perceived value in the buy and the dignity maintained through the whole process. Everything went on smoothly.

P.S: I would pay more for a car that has done at least 7-10K kms per year than one that has run only 1-2K kms, over a period of 4-5 years.

Is there any reliable resource available online to pull up OTR prices and the model list of previously sold cars? After covid, the delta between new and previously sold cars is quite high and it is hard to make a judgement on the whether prevailing price on a particular used car is justified.
