Can anyone help me in this regard.

Are you Serious,2.4L
I would not pay more than a lakh for it in my region,or may be not a dime more than 1.5L in bangalore, for a 6 year Old car which went out of production long back.

I have found this car in B'lore.

Honda CRV 2.4 AT
Mar 2008
Single owner
69K
10.5 lacs

What would be the best quote?

2.4 lac for that car is too high.

I was looking for a cheap used car in Mumbai about an year ago and the going price for 2006/2007 Getz were between 1.3-1.6 lac; most of those cars were single owner and had fewer than 60-70k kms on ODO; given these - i don't think that car should fetch more than 1.25-1.35 lac.

Does the car in question has a very expensive music system, or very nice alloys, or minor mods such as FFE that your friend has fallen for and has agreed to pay high price?

Dealers are selling it at that price in Bangalore. If the car is really clean you can offer up to 9 L. Otherwise not more than 8.25 L, dealer will buy it for not more than 8 to 8.25 L at the most.

Somebody I know in my complex is in bit of confusion.

She's been offered an off site project for a year and little more. She's bought an i-10 about 10 months back and is so far used on weekends. Since she's thinking to taking up the assignment and hence not sure what to do with the i-10.

Sell it - What is the best price she can expect? Less than 5k run. Well maintained with proper service record.

Keep it for a year lying unused with disconnected battery?

Hello Unk9ja,

Rs. 2.4 lacs for a November 2007 Hyundai Getz is too much on higher side.

I feel the appropriate price for this Car will be nothing more than Rs. 2 lacs (considering higher used car prices in banglore). In Mumbai this Car will not go for more than Rs. 1.8 lacs.

Thanks,

Had it been 3-4 months for which the car would have unused, then I would have suggested to disconnect the battery, overinflate tyres & keep it safe in the garage, well covered. However 12 months is too long a period for a car to be kept in good condition after prolonged unuse. Rodents, birds, other insects & most importantly adverse weather, sun, rain etc could take its toll on the car leading to rusting & unseen damage under the hood or chasis. Hence my suggestion for her would be to get rid of her car. She should account for 15-20% depreciation on the original price, could stretch even upto 25%.

Guys,
any comments on this will help. I drove the car and given that it has largely run in the Mumbai city, the clutch plates may come up for a change soon. There is also a dent on the left rear door, but small enough to be repairable. The price may come down by another 40k, but your comments will help

thanks,
VJ

He says he had quoted higher price for a while now, but has revised it to this price to sell it quickly.

Many other similar cars are priced in the range of 9 - 12 lakhs.

thanks - VJ

The price does sound like a steal but I had heard of someone picking up a similar vintage company registered car in Mumbai for 6.5lakhs.

Hello Anup,

Selling the car will mean loss of atleast 25% from the Purchase price. This is because prices of used petrol cars are at all time low currently.

If she is sure to comeback to Mumbai after the off-site assignment then she can try to find someone who can keep the Car for next 12 months & use it occasionally. This will mean that she will have a Car ready after coming back to Mumbai, else she will have to buy a new Car again, which will mean further draining of money.

Thanks,

Thanks Jignesh, She's sure to come back to Mumbai but when is a question. She's single and her family don't stay here. I have my hands full (no pun intended) so I can't tend to her ..car.

Moreover being an open parking it'll have to bear nature's brunt. You're right in saying dep loss for a petrol car, but I don't see any other way out. The cost of perhaps holding it unused for a year might me even higher.

Are you buying or selling a Punto?

Thanks for the response Varun. I'm thinking of selling if the need arises due to one situation I may get stuck in coming month.

In that case brother, try selling to a Fiat fan.He can give a better price. Do not apporach used car dealers. They'll rip you right off

Quote a price of 6.5-6.6L and sell at around 6.25L.

Hope this helps,
Varun

Hello Anup,

If that is the case then she has no other option but to sell it right here.

She may expect approx Rs. 3.75 lacs to Rs. 4 lacs for the Car. Used Car dealers may offer even lower then Rs. 3.7 lacs.

Just to give you a perpective, yesterday I spoke to a used car dealer for my September 2010 Maturi WagonR K10 Vxi with 21,000 on ODO & the price quoted to me was Rs. 2.5 lacs .

Thanks,

Hi friends, need a help. I am looking to sell my Maruti Esteem Vxi 2004 model. It had 50,500 kms on the odo. I have spent some money on it and it now rides Michelins XM2s, has got a new battery (Amron), new brake pads and I also got the clutch plates changes (old ones were fine as per Maruti ***, still got them changed). Its Indore registed and I am taking it there to sell it.

Can you guys help me with an indicative price that I should expect here.

Thanks in advance!
