I would have preferred a diesel, but looks like they are all outside my modest budget.

You can bargain for 5L if the vehicle is in a very good condition. Any specific reason for choosing a Linea 1.4 active? It is the base version, isn't exactly packed with any features.

If you are looking for other vehicles in that range (4-5L) you have ford Fiesta, Mitsubishi Cedia sports, Honda City, Corolla, etc. If you are looking for diesels, you can get Elantras, Octavias or Accent CRDis. Just a suggestion.

If you are looking for a used Maruti Suzuki Esteem diesel, you would have better luck considering the fuel prices. The 2004 Di (the model with the last facelift to the Esteem) would set you back by 1-1.5 lakh (if you don't mind some cosmetic blemishes, a 1 lakh used Esteem will do you better service than a 1 lakh Nano) but you can get a car with the same looks manufactured in 2006 as well. I believe the diesel Esteem was discontinued in 2006 (or was it 2007?).

No i am not looking for esteem, but baleno , is worth investing in baleno, I am getting one at lower price which is a well maintained one.

For 7.5 lakh, you can get a new car, and that too a sedan. For the price, you can get a Maruti Suzuki Swift DZire, Mahindra Verito, Tata Indigo Manza, and Tata Indigo eCS. For slightly more, you can also get the Maruti Suzuki SX4. That new car feeling you get is simply unmatched by a pre-owned car, though that first scratch or dent would be simply painful on a new car.

2) 7.5 L for an early '10 Linea 1.3 Emo Pk.
Both 1st owner, run ~ 35k km, visibly decent shape (haven't driven them & checked), negotiable prices from a used car dealer.
How much are these cars worth if they're in *decent* running condition, at least?
Thanks in advance.

Arkin, bangalore prices are always inflated. Option 1 should be around 5.25L & Option II will be 6.5L considering the fact that there 75k discount offer on Punto and 1.3L off on Linea. Suggest you go for a new car rather than a used one. More over, please find direct sellers rather than dealers.

Other option is, go for the SWIFT ZDi :d 7.8L OTR Bangalore, mouth watering!

[udaydesai]

Here is an update on baleno, my relative works in true value outlet, the latest feedback is that due to increase in petrol, Market for used cars have taken a hit, balenos are been taken by true value for 1.5 lac irrespective of manufactured date.

Hey Mutantx! Long time!
Keep in mind, the HIGH Bangalore prices are a blessing in disguise, at the time of resale.
It makes little sense to buy a NEW Fiat, as resale is poor. Not that I plan to sell in < 7 years of buying, but you never know. I'm sure I can bring the prices of the 2 cars in question here to 5.3 & 7.0 respectively, and that's like 70% of the current OTR prices here .
Swift ZDi ? NO WAY!
I will NOT buy a car that loses out (to the other obvious competitor) in terms of performance, ride quality, handling, build quality, price, availability and reliability. Besides, the Punto 90 can be had here for ~7.7-7.8 onroad here with freebies.
I have LOTS to tell you about my decision etc., will PM you later.

Oops typo. Reliability is not a strength of the competitor in question, but I've heard a couple of stray stories of unreliable all new swifts.

Have you driven it? How does it feel - the gear shift, the clutch, the steering, any rain or accidental damages? Does its paint need a new job?

Please post a picture if you have.
