If all is normal, haggle abit and consider closing the deal. If unfortunately not, get the estimated repairing cost and bargain atleast for 1.5 times the estimate.

Enjoy!

Car is owned by VW and was used to ferret expats around. Got the diagnostic check done and everything seems fine. Is 17L a good price for this.

Folks,

What would be a reasonable price to pay for a used Chevrolet Beat or Ford Figo (Both Petrol) in Bangalore? I am evaluating some used cars with the broad parameters as below:

- Late 2010 / Early 2011 make
- First Owner driven
- LT model for Beat and ZXI for Figo
- Run between 15-20,000 kms
- Registered in Bangalore

I have spotted a few ads seeking anywhere between INR 340,000 to INR 375,000 for these cars. Is this a good price to pay? Obviously Carwale throws up a really low number of INR 275-300k for such cars.

Thanks in advance

What can be reasonable price that I can offer for Sept 12 Nano Lx non special edition. I have seen big adverts in newspapers of 60000 Rs discounts on Nano. That would bring the OTR for new car quite less and hence was wondering about resale.
This would be second car for wife, more for practice to graduate to bigger ones in family later. Hence i intend to hold for not more than 2 years.

Hello AA,
Let's just say that Carwale is not too off the mark here. The max I am willing to pay for both the car's you've shortlisted is around 3.25L.

Between Beat & Figo, I prefer the Beat,simply because it's got more features & is a newer generation model than the Figo. However, Figo is a little better on space, I believe.

Regards,
Varun

Hello SS,
1.2-1.4L is what I believe to be a fair price for a Sept 12 Nano Lx non special edition.
Since this car will be lady driven, tell your wife to take a test drive first. Since Nano's do not have PS, it can pose a problem.

Regards,
Varun

+1 to your comment. My first preference is the Beat for the reasons that you mentioned, and better city mileage, looks much more contemporary and has better Ground clearance. Again, am looking at this primarily for city use for my wife who will use the car most of the time for solo use and hence space is not a big concern. Have the caaar for the long drives However, having said that, if a good deal on a Figo comes up, I don't mind considering. Would love a Swift but costs a lot more !

Hi Guys

Hello Sankdesh,

If the car's condition is really good, you can pay upto Rs. 5.4 lacs for 2011 Maruti SX4 ZXI with less than 20,000 kms on ODO.

Thanks,

Guys! I was offered a ML 250 cdi, December 2012 model. White Color. CH regd. VIP.no.1. Done 5,000 kms.

Asking 48 lacs, which I believe is high.
.
Any idea on what i should offer? New is for about 58+ lacs on road Delhi.

Last year it was cheaper owing to lower excise and lower dollar rates, plus the owner must have got some discounts in December.
@sahil.

Thanks

Rishi

Greetings Rishi

I am from chandigarh itself and I was looking around in the market too ! Yes the price is certainly on the higher side and huge discounts were being offered. Mercedes gives good discounts in December . I have an E and was looking for another one for my dad and I had a 6 Lakh discount on a 42 Lakh ruppee car and nearly 9 Lakhs on the E 350 . So guessing the person was as good a bargainer like my uncle he must've got atleast 6-7 off . The only thing that goes pro is the number . If he's giving you a 0001 number ( which is usually not possible ) then that compensated because the numbers value in chd is minimum 10 Lakh . We've even seen it going for 27 Lakhs . So if youre fond of good numbers then it might be worth it .
The only way to get the right cost is see the invoice price of the vehicle or inspect the insurance documents . You ll have an idea of how much he got it for.
Best wishes
Imran

17L sounds like the right price if the mileage is genuine.

I haggled a bit and they are ready to offer me the car for 4.8 lakhs and put in new tubeless tyres aswell as comprehensive insurance (insurance value 4.25 lakhs) for the year.
I know that typically AutoMartIndia does charge a premium without adding too much value to the car. But is this price a lot more than the market price or is it reasonable.
Also wanted to know if its worth going for a used CRDI which has done 63000 + kms and does the car have any specific problems (have read of some fuel pump failures after 80KKm, is this true ?).

Please let me know your views so that I can decide to pick this vehicle or look elsewhere.

I personally find the price tag of 4.9 lakhs for 63k run Accent on the higher side. Adding to that not so good reputation of the Hyundai CRDI engines and their initial build quality, its better to avoid the Accents and invest in a Logan perhaps!

Anyone has idea if 25K in 2.3 years is a stressed out vehicle?

For buying a second vehicle how much kms done shold be considered okey?

Any ideas?

Shirish.

25k kms for a 2.3 year old vehicle is an average used vehicle indeed. this is all assuming the vehicle maintenance and the driving style have been top notch.

if you have any concern regarding the above kilometers run then go for one below 20k kms.

The price quote for either should not be more than 2lakhs

You will also get low run cars though your paper ads and can get it verified by your local mechanic!

If you can close it at 45, then I think its a decent deal. Do check up on the car and why the chap is selling it after only 7 months of use. Also the number 1 will command a premium.
