What is a good price ?

2007 car run only 38 K looks fishy and 3 owners! Giving an offer is secondary first get the car checked. Only if it has full service history and if i really like the car I would offer nothing more than 4 L if i have to become the 4th owner. And do not forget selling it later down the years to a 5th owner will be a nightmare.

5.5 is way high considering the number of owners, though it is well maintained and may be in very good condition. 4L should be the best deal.

How about the condition of tyres?

Hello Mr. Boss,

You may expect approx Rs. 4 lacs for the 2009 Linea 1.3 MJD with 55,000 on ODO. The price is little on lower side, as you are already second owner.

Hello Shabash,

The Car is currently being sold by 3rd owner & you will be forth owner.
I will simply suggest to stay away from this car & look for another car. There are many used Civic's available in used car market at lucrative prices.

Thanks,

[shabash]

Thanks for all suggestions.So moving on from the Civic, may be to a CRV

2004 Honda CRV MT
Run 104000
Single owner
Sold by Nandi Toyota Used cars
Quoted price - 5.75L

My feeling is 4.75, what does T-Bhp-ians say?

Exactly how bad is the resale value of the Old- gen teana? I did a thread search and found that no one ever inquired about it! There's a mint condition 26000 km done Oct 2007 DL regd Nissan teana. My friend recommended it as the best chauffeur driven car in its segment and an amazing buy in the used car market. Owner is asking for 6.5 negotiable. My friend feels 5.5 is a very reasonable offer. any thoughts?

We just sold our Toyota Innova G4, Diesel 2006 December Purchase for a consideration of Rs 5.5 Lakhs in Hyderabad. The car has done close to 2,15,000 km. The car has traveled from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. The deal was closed real fast.

Now in the market for a new Innova.

The Taena is bound to have a bad resale value and there are very few takers for the car primarily because the FE is really going to burn a hole in your pocket. My dad's friend has one and always complain that the Fe doesn't cross 5 kmpl in delhis traffic. But if your friend feels that he can live with it then you should go ahead. The price looks mouthwatering and a few thousands here and there would ahrdly make a difference for a 20L+ sedan. The space at the back is phenomenal and its really comfortable. Also the low levels of sales of the car ensures the exclusivity factor and understated, non eye catching looks at the same time.

Innova's resale is really mind boggling. I bought mine used at 30k kms for Rs. 7.5L ( got a really good deal at that time). Now 5 years down the line and with odo at 1.1L kms, I just happened to check the resale value and was amazed to find buyers ready with the cash for 6-6.5L for the vehicle. Good luck hunting for a new Innova.

True Dr. Innova commands ones of the best resale values in India. We got 50% value after 6 years and more than 2 lakh km usage.

But looks like I will feel the pinch of hike in excise duty. Effective from 1st march prices ex showroom have gone up by 50k in Hyderabad. And VX feel too expensive now. I want to opt for the GX Variant but my dad is keen on the VX variant. I did not like the way silver finish looks in pics. Have to see it in real life though.

Hi
That looks like a fair deal for a good car. Please do check the service history and insurance papers.

Well my advice is stick to the VX only because of the safety features. In my family Innova is the car we take out on our highway drives and I always regret for not opting for VX trim. If you find it expensive which I think it has become off late, you might want to consider Xuv. Aren't you anyways bored of the Innova to buy another one?

+ 1 to that.

We had a 2010 model Toyota maintained Innova run 20k km when we took it in Jan 2012 for 10.50. We used for a year and sold in Jan 2013 with odo 35k km for 10.25. Ideally could have sold at more or same price but wanted to close it quickly and maybe to an extent our ethics with vehicles has been at it's highest level

Still miss the Innova, nothing can match in that class. !!

Feels as if there is no worthwhile competition for this. Especially the last row seat is good enough for long distance travel for even a 5'9" person. And Captain seats are really thoughtful

Except for one additional passenger Airbag, current VX is similar to GX in safety department. Additional features are only cosmetic like the audio system, reverse camera, acc etc. If ACC was included in GX, it would have been outright choice.

I guess we need to move this discussion to the Innova thread.

I am not sure whether you said that the "fair deal" is for the quoted price of 5.75 or my offer price of 4.75 ?
