Hello zwift,
I too prefer that you buy the 2012 model. The current Chennai prices for Vxi is around 5.3L & you get cash discounts in tune of 30-40,000/-. So the final OTR price will be around 4.9-5.0L.
Considering the fact that new cars lose their max.value in the first year,4.6L is a high price. A price point of 4.0-4.2L seems a fair.

I suggest that you try to find ZXi variant,you get the safety of ABS & AIRBAGS:)
Good Luck
Hope this helps,
Varun

Hello,

I share your view & would suggest to go for 2012 Model, which has done just 2000 kms.

The Car is almost new & you are getting it for atleast Rs. 1,00,000 less than current price of new Car.

I feel Rs. 4.4 - Rs. 4.5 lacs for 2012 Ritz will be a good deal.

Thanks,

I think 6L would be more like it just because it is with a dealer. If everything (read service history, insurance details, tyres, mechanical components) works out fine and the vehicle is in very good shape then a max of 6.5L. From the year and month of make it looks as if it will need insurance soon. If tyres are also in need of replacement then you are looking at around 50K in initial cost (for insurance and tyres) itself. There is very little demand for petrol guzzlers (and that too ATs) at this point of time so bargain hard. As far as how it ages - from what I have seen on a couple of cars there are no issues with aging except for the leather on the seats.

I wanted to update on this post, As my friend was only getting offers between 1 and 1.15 lakh from dealers at Gurgaon, hence I offered to buy his car for 1.2 Lakhs, its done 38000 Kms and he had just upgraded set of 5 Bridgestone tyres worth 21K. The car is in excellent condition and the only thing missing is the power windows which I plan to get installed by Chevrolet for 12K.

Though I generally advice people not to buy used cars like Aveo, but as you are sure that the Car is in excellent condition & the price (Rs. 1.2 lacs) is really cheap, I would suggest you to go buy the Car.

Even if you use the car for next 2 years it will be a really good deal for you.

Thanks,

9.10 lakhs for a 2008 AT model? Isn't that kind of high for an accord?

Thanks Varun and Jignesh for your suggestions!
I spoke to the owner today and to start with offered him 3.80L but he didn't seem interested in the offer but has asked me time till tomorrow evening. The car comes with 3m tinted glasses, JVC HU, seat covers etc.,

Let's see how the deal goes tomorrow. Otherwise there are plenty of i10s in the used car market and for a budget of 4L you get low mileage cars and a wide choice in variants. Will keep you guys posted.
Cheers

I just bought 2003 Dec model, Santro XO (power steering, AC, Pioneer System, Remote Lock, Fog lamps) from Shakthi Cars, Chennai, Single owner, 35,000 Kms(Seems genuine), Nicely maintained - no scratches, shining interior and exterior. The price was 1.45 Lacs, 4K as brokerage and 1.3 K for name change total: 1.50 L. Is it fair price. I got it already. :Frustrati

Was there XO trim in 2003?

I thought it came into being only post 2005

No, there was no XO trim in 2003.
I have a Santro April 2004 model in XS trim and XO trim came into picture only after XS trim was discontinued.

Hi all,

I am looking for used Sedan for my daily commute about 25 Km per day or about 800 km per month. I am not too worried about mileage but can't afford for it to be below 10.

This is what I am considering

1) A Honda City S MT -

Year: Jan 2009
Model: S MT
Odo : 58k
Quoted Price: 5.5L
Dealer: Mahindra First Choice
Condition: Looks well maintained.

Is it worth it?

2) A Linea Diesel -

Year: Jun 2009
Model: Emotion
Odo : 30k
Quoted Price: 5.75L (Looking to negotiate)
Dealer: Mahindra First Choice

And this?

3) A SX4 ZXi - I think I should be able to get one in the 3.5-4L range. I TDed it and coming from Swift, it was very similar for me and frankly, though powerful, it didn't set my heart racing. But it is excellent value for money compared to my other 2 options and hence still in the reckoning.

Can somebody please tell me what is the price I should offer for these 2 cars?
Any info about the trustworthiness of Mahindra is also most welcome :)

Thank you
Nilesh

Hi all,
I recently came through a deal on cardekho.
I was wanting to know if i am getting the right deal.
I am getting a Swift ZDI march 2012
With 6000 on the odo for 6.5 lakhs.
The seller is an individual.

Can anyone suggest me whether is it the right offer ?

1.50 L., though on the higher side, seems to be a fair price, if the car is in spic & span condition as you have mentioned. However for a car which is 9 years old, just 35K kms on the odo, seems hard to believe. That is under 4K kms per year. Are you sure the odo is not tampered with?

The car was driven less for sure, on weekends - kinds. Kept inside hence the paint has held well. More than the looks I was awed by the test drive. Will update my experience, after few K Kms.

The car has XO on it, need to check the RC book.

I felt could have bargained for 10K less not more than that.

Hi Guys,

Planning to sell my 2008 Indica Xeta 1.2GLG with 35K on the ODO in Chennai. New Tyres - 6month (5k Km) . Battery 1 year old. Last week the car was given for service , changed Engine Oil, Filters,etc. No need to service for 1 yr/10000km. The car has few dents. I will be posting the ad in T-BHP classifieds in a couple of days.

Please let me know a realistic price.

Regards
Marlon
