Some of the premium vehicles have this thing of tyres running for about 20000 kms only. Don't know why though.

Wanted to add, the tyres have the the tread which looks genuine, however I am suggesting replacement as even though its done 28k, 7 year old tyres would have become hard and would need replacement.

Tyre wear depends on how much torque the tyres need to handle (some cars can burn through the tyres in less than 10,000 kms), the make of the tyre (some Michelins, Pirellis etc last less than 25,000 kms by default), the type of tyre (soft rubber=easy wear) and the roads they are used on, besides of course the nature of the driver (boy racer=easy wear). Also the tryes in this case are seven years old.

There is a huge diff of torque in petrol vs diesel, same car, especially in the ~2000 rpm range. By this logic, all diesels should have faster tyre wear. Diesels are heavier, that is one factor, I didn't understand the tourque theory though.

Chennai registered and located
Diesel Fabia top end
End 2010 model, Skoda maintained, bumper to bumper insurance,
Run about 55k km, single owner
Impeccable looking. Gives around 14 kmpl in city.
Owner upgrading.
How much should he sell at ?

I own a Bhopal registered Polo petrol - trendline variant 2011 which has clocked ~42k kms and is pretty well maintained with all the service history available with me. Tyres were changed at 35k mark.I am the second owner of this car. What would be a fair price to expect?

Also I have come across a 10months old Skoda Rapid Ambition AT which is hardly 10months old and has clocked 9000kms. The current owner has installed alloy wheels, reverse parking sensors etc. Is it advisable to go for a Rapid AT What is the approximate loss in fuel economy MT vs AT? Basically I don't absolutely need an AT but after seeing this car I was wondering if I should try an AT.

A colleague wants to sell her Hyundai i20 Diesel Asta in Bangalore.
Silver, October 2012 registered, On-Road was 8.4 lakhs.
Car has done only 10,000 km.

How much can she expect? She would prefer a private sale.

EDIT: Carwale estimates 7.07-7.33 lakhs, T-BHP IBB estimates 5.28-5.72 lakhs. Don't know who to believe!

Friends what would be a fair price for
Delhi registered
Nov 2010
Hyundai i10 sports (VTVT)
done almost 50k

The car belongs to someone known and hasnt had any major accident.
Minor scratches do exist and tyres are near the end of their life.

Thanks in advance.

PS: Took it for evaluation to a car dealer who wasn't going beyond 2.25-2.30L

I think 7L should be a good price to expect. I would go closer with Carwale. T-bhp prices look more like aligned to the Mumbai market. The re-sale prices are far higher in South India owing to greater taxes (Chennai & Bangy).

7L for that i20 is a bit optimistic in my opinion. It is nearly two year old and 7L is more than 80% of the original on road price. Even considering the Bangalore and diesel factor that still is very low depreciation. I think around 6L should be more like it in terms of a final closing price.

I think 2.30L is a fair price for a 2nd hand i10 petrol sports, DL registration. A close friend bought a 2011 sports i10 month back in Abohar (Punjab) for 2.30 L. Its a new car (but old model) stocked with Hyundai dealer.

If I remember correctly, carwale estimate is based on the asking price of vehicle which is not necessarily a true picture of what price the car is sold at.

I'd say no more than 6 lac would be a fair price, after all it is a 2 year old vehicle and a major refresh is not too far away which will leave this vehicle a generation older soon.

Missed the previous Innova which I had posted few days back. But now purchased another one.

2012 Nov model VX. Single owner, run just 10000 kms (ten thousand. yes rare find). As fresh as new!
Price - 15.3 lacs (Nandi uTrust, Toyota Certified with 2 yrs warranty. Overpriced yes, but didnt want to miss this one due to fresh feel and not even a single scratch)

I just sold my 2011 i10 Sportz Automatic for 3.15 in Delhi and it was even a HR26 registered. Try getting more and target individuals.

Congratulations sam_sant2005 on getting the car of your choice. Nandi uTrust seems to have a good stock of used Innovas. Here is Pune, at DSK Toyota, you come across a used Innova once in a blue moon. Though I can see Innovas in every nook and corner of the city, it seems no one is selling those. If at all they are, then nothing is coming to uTrust and majority of them are exchanging hands through local agents.
