- Insurance - If it's about to expire, bring down the price -Tyres - @ 37000 kms the tyres will be near the end of its lifecycle. Bring down the price if so. - Condition - My experience tells me that in this world there are 2 types of "EXCELLENT" Excellent for the dealer cause he has made a "Super Profit" out of you!! ![]() Excellent for you cause you got a good car at a great price. ![]() Make sure it's the latter!!!! Buddy whatever you do, before you pay,make sure you get it checked. Usage - I believe that if anyone uses a car for more that 800-900 kms/ month, it's better to get a diesel car. You decide if you are gonna use that much. Happy hunting Hope this helps Varun | |

Just 10,000 kms in 5 yrs!!! ![]() Before coming to the price part,lets discuss the technical part. I presume that the car was driven on a regular basis. Because a car that's been stationary for a long time will have it's share of problems. If the car was stationary for a long time then you might have to - - Change the tyres, cause the rubber compound might have gone hard. - Change all fluids like engine oil,gear oil,brake oil. - Change the suspension bushes. As far as price is concerned, a fair price could be around 2.5-3L. Although I could be way off my mark! Hope this helps, Varun | |

| ![]() A small update, the car is actually a 2006 model and has clocked 28k. The owner was ignorant as he is so not a car guy. I had a look at the car, it is flawless without even a scratch. The tyres need to be replaced. Varun, The car is used regularly for about 50kms a week, purely city driving. It is an Lxi, with power windows. The car looks in top notch condition to me, though am concerned with the fuel economy of ~10kmpl(again the owner could be wrong) But still i feel it is a car worth buying. 2lakhs is a good price right? |

Confirm if its actually 10K,and irrespective of the Odo,it should be priced around 1.75L,not a penny more than that. |

I definitely agree that price is good for 1.6S because even finding one is hard.My estimation was for 2006 1.6Sxi. I usually look only at the condition of the car and ODO reading rather than year of manufacture.I recently bought 2004 optra with 20K on the ODO and car is in such a good condition that people find it hard to believe that it is almost 9 year old car! |

for 2009 fiesta petrol can be bought for 3.8 to less than 4 lakhs- maybe less if you have good bargaining skills. According to the dealers, 1.6 variants(including s) is even cheaper in the used car market because of low FE and resulting low demand. Considering that the mumbai used car prices are lower compared to bangalore, 4.3 lakhs is just way too much for fiesta with 1.6, no matter how less used it is (and 37000 is not very low usage). Most 1.6s owners quote high rates because the car is not very common in used car market. Fiesta is no doubt a good car, but it's prices are very low in used car market. So, proceed with caution. | |

Two things here - The car is 6 years old now, and the tyres need replacement. Also, check the condition of the battery in the car. Esteem is pretty frugal with about 12kmpl inside the city possible with a light foot. I personally will not pay for more than 1.8L for a phased out petrol car. | |

A question to everybody, does it make sense in getting a CNG kit installed for this one and make it a daily workhorse ? ![]() Last edited by Abhi_abarth : 26th December 2012 at 14:20. Reason: Added some more points | ||||
