IMHO you cannot pay more than 50K extra for what is the value for a 2006 Civic in the market, BTW if you do not buy the car, let me know PLEASE!

Please guide me whether the asking price is O.K

Is this a Mumbai price ? Its quite good if the vehicle is in good condition. I sold my 1.5exi 2001 model - 95k done for 1.85L 2 months back and I was the 2nd owner. But I have to admit my vehicle was in very good nick with a nice set of wheels.

Hey thanks for the input.
Its Gujarat Price, the city being Baroda

Yes, the vehicle is quite good for being 12 years old, with a service history. Can you tell me how are the spare parts availability and cost in the market??

Price looks good. Check and confirm whether worn out engine mounts are the reason for rattles.

Since we are having a number of cases of odometer tampering here is a detailed reply .

Don't worry. Here is what i do, just call up any random workshop and tell them the vehicle number and ask them when is the next service due?
After they answer this i immediately act as surprised and ask them to tell me what was the mileage on last service and also include some random things to get detailed info. Has worked with maruti suzuki and hyundai

If you have seen the RC and owner's name you can confidently ask them almost anything. They don't bother to verify anything else.

My friend was almost about to give advance for the purchase of SX4 and i tried this for the first time.The SX4 was 3 years old in immaculate condition, done 26k kms.
It worked and did wonders.
The answer i got "Sir you got your car service done last month only at 90k kms"

Make sure you get the service history for atleast last 2 services. Because it has happened ,people get the odo reset and then get the car serviced and will show you the latest service record. The buyer generally believes it.

If you can visit the workshop its even better. Just ask them and they will tell you. I just tell them that i have purchased the car recently and ask for service history.Even if you don't have the car with you.

Hi folks, need to know the correct market price for the following car. Carwale valuation quotes between 3.27L to 3.5L

Maruti Ritz Lxi
26000 kms
Oct 2010
Extended warranty till Oct 2014
Condition: Good (As quoted by the owner)

Request expert opinion on whether a 2009 SX4 ZXi automatic 40k reasonably good condition is worth 4.9 lacs at Chennai.

Guys,

I need some quick advice for a friend who wants to sell his car:

Chennai-registered, 1st owner, 2008 (July), Hyundai i10 Magna (1.1 ltr iRDE engine), ~ 30k genuine kms. on odometer - only serviced at H.A.S.S. and full service details available.

The car is in good condition. The reason for sale is a job change which involves moving to the Middle-East.

What would be the best price he can expect for this car?

Also, how much would the difference between a dealer offer and that of a private buyer be?

Thanks in advance!

Expect nothing more than 2.50 if you are really bullish.

Guys, I am thinking of selling my Jan'07 Zen Estilo Lxi which has clocked 36000 km. The condition is good with no major accidents but minor scrapes on the bumpers. The car has been driven in Patiala and Chandigarh and regularly serviced at authorized service station. Can you please suggest a fair price.

Thanks in advance

[puchoo]

I doubt that you would be able to get this much on the ground. I had got my wifes Ritz , March 2010 Zxi evaluated in Nov/ Dec by a few people and while car Wale told me above 3.25 , the average offered price was substantially less than that.

Need to know which one is a better option for me in a long run?

2005 Ford Fusion 1.6, 66000kms, Single Owner, New tyres, Immaculate condition for 1.8L

2007 Wagon R, 54000kms, 2 owners, Tyres to be replaced, immaculate condition for 1.65L

This will be primarily used for daily 12 kms office run (Two ways total). And once in 6 months outstation trip. Max 500 kms both ways. Anything more than that, then it's train or bus.

Thing is, my better-half suffers from a bad back (Tailbone problem + recently herniated her disc). So need a taller vehicle and something with comfortable seats. She won't be doing any driving though. So yeah, need very very very comfortable seats. I know that Fusion is a tough to maintain car. But I used to travel with my boss in his Fusion and I admire it for the amount of space inside. Heart = Fusion. Mind = Waggie.

I too have faced the same situation when trying to sell my vehicle. Going by the experiences of others as well on this thread, it appears that Carwale valuator prices are no longer the price the market goes by.

Thanks puchoo. Its actually for a friend who is looking to buy it, so I thought of asking here on the acceptable price that we can pay for the car. So i guess the max he should offer when negotiating is 3.10L since its a Lxi.

Carwale actually valuates the car quite less. The prices here are way less than some of the other sites. Zigwheels is saying somewhere around 3.4 to 4L. Actually the owner is quoting 4L.
