But rather than getting into prices, I will suggest to simply stay away from all these three cars, because they have already done more than 75000 kms, while the 2008 Fiesta is nearing 1,00,000 mark. Though the current Diesel engines are capable of running trouble free for 1.5 lacs or more kms, but the other critical components (like suspension, clutch assembly, etc) of these cars will start giving problems very soon.

| ![]() What is the correct price for buying a Karnataka registered 2010-Oct Altis J petrol variant that has done about 18k KMs. The car is in good condition like one done 18k should look like. Also any specific things that I should verify physically in the car before buying. |

As far as the prices are concerned, you could safely assume that the dealer is overquoting by about 75K in each of the cases specially since neither of the above cars are really hot cakes in the used car market. Hope this helps you out !! Quote:

| ![]() There's a 2010 Honda Civic used by Honda Dealer here as their Demo car, with 28k on the ODO. They r expecting 10.5 lacs, but maybe open for negotiations. They said it has clear service history. Haven't checked the vehicle in person yet, but per them it's in good condition. Want your valuable opinions here on 1. Is it a good idea to buy a demo vehicle? Though they say its taken out hardly once a month to a potential customer, am worried how it would have been used by sales agents and 2. What is a fair price for the vehicle? Looking forward to bhp-ians opinions. |

Any test drive or demo car is usually abused left right by the person who drives it. Count that with the numerous people who would have driven the car. And 10.5 lakhs? What world are they living in? Petrol vehicles are not in demand in the used car market. I have seen used civics dropping in value by as much as 40-50% in 2-2.5 years. I just saw a used 2010 civic on TBHP classifieds for 765000/- run 24k kms, Mumbai based. You can use that as an indicator for the true price of a used civic But avoid a test vehicle at any cost.

And the expected price is not in line with current market trends. You can get much better cars directly, with some effort (classifieds section of "The Hindu " on Sunday is one good source). Last edited by Blue Thunder : 13th December 2012 at 14:58. | |

Hello Bhatmaster, Rs. 2.9 lacs is too less for a 2008 Verna CRDI, considering that fact that used Diesel Cars command a huge premium now-a-days. You should not sell the Car for less than Rs. 3.5 lacs. I will suggest to find a direct buyer, who will offer a very good price. Thanks, |

Why not get a 2010-11 civic for the same price or for a slightly higher price? There are a lot of good examples floating around. Just recently, we had someone here, pick up a 13k run 2011 civic V-AT for 11Lakhs (in Mumbai, though) Myself, have come across nov 10 civics for less than 9 lakhs (with around 15000 clicks on the dials) or 2011 civics for ~11 lakhs. I would strongly suggest, giving the test vehicle a pass and instead start scouting for good examples. Test vehicles are not handled with care by the prospective buyers (as they would with their own for obvious reasons) and so, may have a lot of wear and tear. A pre-owned vehicle when it was new would have meant the world to a certain someone and so, would have been cared for (something which can be easily gauged by a mechanic). My 2 cents ![]() All the best with your search | |

| ![]() Hi All, I am thinking of selling my 2005 Swift Vxi. I'm the 2nd owner (bought it from Maruti True Value in 2008 with ODO @ 22k) and it has done 83,000 Kms in total. This is the first generation Swift which has the 1300cc engine. Need your inputs on how much can I expect? I'm in no hurry to sell this and don't mind retaining the car for few more years. I'm currently not using the car these days (maximum of 200 Kms per month), I have a beat diesel for my daily use. I might get a LPG kit fixed if I feel like using it regularly or maybe retain it for few more years and hopefully it'll be come an antique ![]() Awaiting your thoughts on this. |

the price quoted is also very high although you may be the first owner on paper. A friend was looking out for a civic and saw a 2011 car quoting 9.5 and another 2010 car quoting 7.5. both done under 30000 kms. these prices sound more realistic to me. | |
