| ![]() @Gautam - one-77 is correct. This is the older Fiesta. I do want to sell but have a lease to transfer first. We can take the PM route if the mods and forum rules do not object to it. |

you can get a good condition Swift Vxi in your budget. you may also look at buying a new K10. 2007-2008 Hyundai i10 shall cost close to 3 Lac. 2010/2011 AStar is also in your budget. another very good alternative could be: look for a 2004/05/06 Honda City Automatic; you shall be able to get it for less than 3 Lac | |

| ![]() Hi guys, Just got a call from Maruti true value guy, offering me a 2009 Swift Vdi, 69000 kms done, for 4.5 lacs. Is the price ok? Car is fitted with alloys. I am going to check the car personally tomorrow. Will update then. Thanks. |

| ![]() Thanks Pancham, skdking, KMohanan. I had requested the owner to rethink on the price, so as of now, that car is given a miss :( GTO has spoiled us with the brilliant pre-workshipped Civic thread and I madly want one ![]() |

Nope the price is not ok. I think 4L would be good since its a diesel. But still the car has done 69K. Best of luck. Plus if you dont like the alloys you can throw in a tantrum saying that you gotta change the wheels and hence ask for more discounts. |

| ![]() @ Pancham, thanks for the reply pal, is it advisable to let go of warranty and free services and ask for more discount? I have a friend (BHPian) who own a car work shop, so don't really need the free services. I guess I can get better deals for diesel figo or ritz than this. let's see. |

| ![]() Hi, I got another offer, its a 2010 Dec Honda Civic VAT with 15k on odo. The person is asking for 9 lakhs. Checked the car and it looks ok, but has minor scratches on some parts of the bumper and the interior door handling parts, other than that, everything looks clean ![]() Can you please advice on how to view this deal? |

Some minor repair and detailing, and it'd be hard to tell if the car is pre-owned. ![]() | |

![]() I guess you can let go off the free service but do take the warranty. P.S: I guess Swift Vdi is far far far more fun to drive than a figo or a Ritz. Quote:

| ![]() All, I need your thoughts and suggestions in making this decision: I am being offered a late 2009 Civic VMT for about 8 lacs (about 1 lac less than Carwale). It is a very very tempting offer. However, I just wanted to hear from the devils advocates to stay away from the deal. Here are few more details about the deal and my current situation 1. This will become my primary car 2. My weekly commute is not more than 150-200 kms 3. Current mileage is claimed at 12-13 kmpl 4. The car seems to be extremely well maintained 5. It will be on my company's name, so accountant says that he can get the tax break on the depreciation, as well as all maintenance (service/insurance/fuel) 6. If I get this car, I might be tempted to go for long drives with family once every 2 months (have a 2 yr old now) Please chip in with your thoughts on my situation... |
