Can you provide some more details. Does the car come with ABS or non ABS ? Typically you will have some extra premium depending on

1. Alloys and/or New tires
2. Music system
3. Seat covers
4. Any other accessories
5. What kind of warranty these true value guys offer ? they typically throw in free services etc.

So do check all these.

I saw few posts before about one guy quoting 2.7 lakhs for a Swift VXI 2007 having run 65000kms so take a look at that post.

New Swift VXI sells on road at 6+ lakhs in bangalore. This car in question seems to have run low mileage for a 5+ year old car. So i wonder how you came up with such a strong statement ? please provide some examples to justify ?

Even if the car does not come with any accessories, Fair deal would be in excess of 2.5 lakhs( check sites such as carwale)

P.S:
I own a 2007 VXI myself and its a 1.3 litre engine have run less than 50K as of now. I never got the same punch with the newer 1.2 litre engine.

I have got quotes for more than 3 lakhs, but just holding on to my beauty because i need to arrange more money before i get my next upgrade.

True Value cars are a bit overpriced. I bought an esteem for 2.7. The same i could have bought around 2. But you can be assured of quality.
The car's suspension was new, new tires, new wheel caps, door handles. Even mine had a scratched mirror and trunk. They said the same thing to me. And voila ! they installed a brand new mirror and assembly, scratches were taken care of. The mirrors even had plastic wrapping on them. Now it depends what kind of damage you are talking about. If they are dents, then maybe they wont. But if the scratches are on the plastic parts or replaceable ones, then they would do it happily. Just make sure to make your point before paying anything. 3.7 is a bit high because its a swift. Dzires and swifts are quite in demand. BTW which true value did you visit?

Me and TrueValue had almost sealed a deal for the Swift Vxi (bone stock) with 39k on the odo - June 2010 model. - For Rs 3.7 lakhs with RC,Insurance transfer and anti-rust coating. The car was in excellent condition. But, generally used car prices in Gurgaon will be cheaper. A 2007 Swift in truevalue gurgaon will cost a maximum of 2.6 lakhs.

scratches and dents can be removed. But if the paint is scrapped do check if the dealer will just be adding a touch up colour to it.

3.75 lacs is way off the charts. True value does charge a premium over the vehicle it sells. Under normal circumstances you should not pay anything more than 2.8 lacs for it, if it is in a very good condition. From True value add 10-20% to this price.

Must be in Bangalore then. Coz in Mumbai petrol swifts have very poor resale. Have just upgraded my 2006 1.3l vxi swift to zdi my swift had genuine leather interiors ,15' alloys brand new michelins and ice worth 50k which was sold for 2.5l last dec.

@safari_lover
For 3.75L you should get a 2007 Swift Vdi in good condition.

Really sad to hear petrol cars taking a beating because of this artificial diesel price gap.
I still feel you could have got bit more

If this is reality i guess i will hold on to mine for couple more years and i guess by then a lot more new options in ertiga/duster league

[safari_lover]

Thank you guys for all your inputs. Here are some more details about the car in question.

It's a 2007 Vxi model without ABS.
Among the accessories, it has seat covers (hard leather, the SE said), music system (Pioneer HU and 2 front door speakers and 2 on the parcel tray at the back).
Tyres aren't new but they aren't very old either. SE says have been run for about 5K and they are by Goodyear.
TrueValue offers 1 Year warranty on engine/gear box and 3 free services
The quoted price includes the paper work (RC transfer, et al). The car has insurance valid till next June.

And this is from the ITPL Road, Bangalore, outlet. Even the online listings for Swift Vxi don't quote anything less than 3L for similar models here :(

On a similar note, I am also thinking of considering A-star instead of the Swift. Size is not a problem for me since it's only me that'll occupy the car most of the time.
What do you guys suggest? Should I stick to Swift or look for a A-Star instead?

[fiestarry]

What price will a Bangalore based Fiesta (S) Sports model 3 years old in fabulous condition command? Run about 30k km and absolutely un-modded. Extended warrantee and Insurance till year end.

In Gurgaon the price should be 10 lakhs +/- 50k should be a reasonable price. Considering new W6 can be had around 12.5 and the price was even lower when the customer would have bought it.

Rule of thumb, the price of a 10 lakh plus car depreciates instantly by 2 lakhs when you walk out of the showroom.

Safarilover, I think the price quoted is on a higher side.For 3.75L you can easily get a Swift ZXi. How can the SE know that the tyres have only run 5k's. Always take such statements with a pinch of salt.Check the manf. date on the tyre & decide.The market for a petrol cars are all time low. So haggle hard.
If space is not an important consideration ,A-Star will suit you well. You can get a 2010 VXi for about 3L- 3.2L & 2010 ZXi for 3.3L - 3.75L.

Hello fiestarry!
The problem with Fiesta S is that not many people know the difference between the S & Sxi, unless the buyer is an enthusiast. My colleague had a hard time selling his S,due to this attitude. So I suggest you list your car in sites like TBhp. To top it up, the market for petrol saloons is dismal
Considering Banglore prices,I guess you can expect around 6.25L to 6.75L, for your car. Anything more & you're lucky!
BTW, how much are you expecting?
Regards,
Varun

A Jan 2012 W8 XUV will fetch anywhere between 14L to 14.5L, in my view. BTW, why do want to sell you car in 6-8 months

On road prices of cars are expensive in Bangalore sometimes as high as one lakh extra

But i guess that keeps the prices of used cars bit on higher end. Though i am not sure about 3.7, looks bit expensive to me. Try to bargain hard, petrol cars are not in demand. They pay peanuts to sellers so they dont have rights to quote high for buyers.

A-star is a good car, but it never clicked in india. It is always compared with alto(it is alto in other markets) and that is why people go for cheaper alto

I think the top end A-star would come with all safety mechanisms and still be cheaper for you. but it is strictly a 4 seater. Are you specific about maruti only ?

If you have a budget of 3.75, You might be able to get a brand new K10 Alto for around 4 lakhs as well, K10 engine has decent power.

That rule of thumb applies generally. Currently does not apply to XUV.

I saw a 2012 W6 with 4700 kms on the odo change hands in Gurgaon last month for 11.8L. The sale happened between a dealer and end user. The dealer had bought it for 11.4 and had offers up to 11.7 from other dealers. So IMO the W8 should be worth between 11.5-12L.

[satyamkaushik]

I have a July 2006 model hyundai Getz GLS.
It has 97000 on the odo.
The car is in a good condition.
Got the tires changed at 90000kms.
Its a first owner vehicle.
No paint work or repair work evr done, its a clean car.

Just wanted to know the approximate price at which it cud be sold ?
