| ![]() I am a getting a 2006 Civic S AT 1st owner for 3.3 L , Gurgaon Regd. Good price? Condition is good IMO,have complete service record, 78k on the ODO. 60% NCB on the insurance.Will be taking a mechanic tomorrow for inspection,what all things to look for and anything special being an automatic. What all things should i be considering while purchasing it.I also want to know" do we feel when the gear changes in automatics,like when we accelerate/the car downshifts,it is meant to be felt right.? Took a TD , everything else felt right. If possible,Should i take the car to a HASS and ask them if something is wrong? I am a bit skeptical,this being my first AT.Also how much FE can i expect - (My driving style gives gives 12 in the city & 15-17 highways - Swift non K series) Last edited by k2max6 : 19th September 2013 at 19:48. |

The gentleman who took it had test-driven and seen almost 20 other 2008 manufactured swifts but found ours in the best condition so far (I guess I underestimated the condition of our car). | ||

| ![]() Hi, I picked up a Apr 2012 Skoda Laura 1.8 TSI Ambiente for 9 lacs in Bangalore. The car has done 24000 kms and seems to be in a good condition. I will post an ownership review shortly. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Hi Everyone, I am getting a April 2009 Ford ikon TDCI with full service history for 1.8 lacs. But the thing is it has already done 1.05 lacs kms. Plus it would need new tyres soon. Other than that the car is in very good condition. I have always dreamt of owing a Ikon (so I am aware of its cons) and this one falls in my budget but the main concern is the engine life of the TDCI unit. Can any one tell me how long can this motor last. One more thing that I understand is that any dealer would pick this car, reset the meter to 60-65000kms and no one would even doubt. Is it worth it going for this car? |

Rs. 3.3 lacs for 2006 Cisic S AT is a really a good price. Just take the car to HASS once to get yourself assured about the car's status. Regarding mileage, you can expect figures of less than 10 kmpl in city driving coonditions. Quote:
Rs. 1.8 lacs for 2009 Ford Ikon TDCI is indeed a good price. I will simply suggest to go for this car & do not worry about engine life. Modern Diesel engines are built to last long. We have all seen private taxis in Bangalore & other cities that have crossed 1,50,000 kms & still going strong. Since you are already aware about Ford Ikon cons, I need not mention them here. Thanks, | ||

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I'm looking for a Honda Jazz top end model in Bangalore only. I know that a new Jazz is on its way to India in 2014. 2012 top-end model in different online used car websites are quoting 6L above. Should i wait for 2014 Jazz so and will the prices of old Jazz come down with new one is launched? Thanks, Ramki |

| ![]() Am on the lookout for a Honda City Automatic. Saw a few options listed in various sites. Contacted one and got a response. Call was from a in between re seller called 'Cauvery Cars' -Hebbal, Bangalore. Anyone has had a prior experience with them? The car as per what he said is a 2010 Feb Model V AT and run only 20,000KM. Asking price is 7.25 Lakh (I have not attempted to negotiate yet). How is this deal? |

The 'D mode blinking' issue is quite famous and you can search the net for details. Better off to buy a brand new when going for autobox since you get warranty to take care of such lemons. | |

| ![]() D mode blinking issue is nothing but the gearbox problem. While driving in automode, the D light will start blinking which results in gear changes abruptly, example :from 5th gear to 3rd, or 2nd to 4th with huge jerk. My vehicle refused to reverse though I engage in reverse mode. Imagine that you are in dense traffic, and negotiating a U turn, and car won't reverse!!! I literally had to push back getting down. Google and find more trouble this issue can give. |

| ![]() How much would be the price of a Chevrolet Spark LT (non OP), 2008 Sept registered, Black colour. Well maintained, with new struts all round, 165 section Yoko A-drives (nearly new) on all 5 rims, normal scratches from Blr traffic. Run 79300kms. Need a quick update, cos a friend needs to decide by Monday. The car is in Bangalore, registered in KA-03. Thanks! |
