Thanks Soarer... Any suggestion on what should be the best price I can bargain for ? I was thinking of quoting in the range of 3.75 to 3.9 and probably going up to 4.0 L... is this worth it ? | |

You've done your homework and pretty much answered your own question. The Vista and the swift come with the same engine albeit with different gear boxes and handling. The Vista is not a bad drivers car as such the only downer is the quality of interiors is not as good as the swift and Figo and ages quick. So just make sure the previous owner has taken care of it well. Apart from that the logical choice is the Vista as its more comfortable when you have 4-5 people on board,easy to maintain and the parts are not going to be a problem. Just find a good neighborhood mechanic and you're set. |

| ![]() Hello! A dealer is quoting Rs 1.8L for a Hyundai Santro in Trivandrum. Single owner, 35k kms, 2007 registered. The Hyundai records show a accidental repair for 19k. However, none of the doors or panels show any indication of replacement. The paint job seems to be original even on careful inspection. Is it a fair deal? Is there something I should watch out for? Thanks! |

Assuming 4K for each panel denting & re-painting (for a Santro), 19K = 5 panels! This is fairly reasonable damage (Now, it could be NOT panels, but something else damaged. And if a costlier part was replaced, that's a stronger flag for me). I think anybody wants to buy this vehicle SHOULD get the proper details of the accident from the A$$ where it was repaired.

Many times I have observed that old car valuers pull out the rubber beading in the doors and check. I vaguely understand that they are just confirming that the car hasn't under gone any accidents. But how? Can someone explain? |

My understanding is that when a car has been hit on the door it inevitably puts pressure on the frame. Most people just get the visible dents repaired but not many pull the rubber beadings down to even check for damage caused. Even if they do I don't think people take too much care about parts that are not visible hence the finish might not be top notch and easy to make out. If there's any other reasons for the same I'd like to know too but this is just my opinion |

| ![]() @Narayan, try to get it between 2 and 2.25L. That should be a fair price for a 2nd owner diesel Vista. The earlier generations of Vista's have lower resale values compared to the sedan class ones. |

| ![]() Dr mohit You were right. Actually the said fortuner has a history of accident. The bill was 165000. I dropped the idea of buying that car. Thanks |
