I agree Geo that the car is not exactly gonna fly off the shelf. But then I am in no hurry. Also I am not necc. looking for an upgrade.

One of the things which is prompting for the change is to get a odd numbered car as both my current cars (Santro & i10) are even numbered.

I do not want to hold onto that car as 2-3 years down the line the car would be 13 years old and I may not find any buyer at all for it.

On a related note, how much should a Aug 2012 WagonR LXi be costing from a private seller in Delhi? Mileage is ~20k

If your car is maintained exceptionally well and you are able to find a genuine buyer yourself, 1.25 lac should be your best expectation. I would suggest you keep 1 lac as a realistic expectation. Used car dealers won't offer anything more than 60-70k, if not lesser.

Regrading your replacement options, the i10 is mechanically same as a Santro, except if you plan to get the 1.2 Kappa engined versions. Similarly, I don't see the logic in replacing a Santro with a used WagonR either. You should be looking to upgrade to the Swift/Figo/Polo segment, don't you think. But with a 1+2=3 lac budget, you'll have to compromise heavily - either go for a really old or high mileage car!

Better option would be to hold onto your Santro for another 2-3 years, improve your budget for the next car and then go for a new B2 segment hatch, especially since you tend to keep your car for long periods.

Do take a look at our Repair vs Replace thread, and ask yourself whether you really 'need' to replace your Santro. Hope this helps!

Hi lsp,
In 2014, we sold our 11 yesrs old Santro Xing (80000 km on the odo) at Rs. 80,000/-. One power window was not working at that time. The clutch was not in the best of the form and the gear shift was also little difficult (probably synchro rings replacement was approaching). This was at Ahmednagar in Maharashtra. This was not a distress sale.

Hope, this may help you.

See the service history before paying any token/blocking amount. Can't insist enough on this.

The price should be in 3s especially when it is a base model.

Looks like a fair deal given that the car has done only 23k and is from a known source.

Beat petrol? Variant? Try Olx, you may get additional 40-50k from a direct buyer. It's not really a hot hatch in used car market considering service issues. BTW I love its looks.

VxI is not the base model, it is the intermediate model, in petrol. LxI would be the base model. So factor a 4.5 lakh or so price - might be ok to bargain a bit with your colleague. Or see if this offset by new tires / battery / any aftermarket accessories that you may have to install after a purchase etc.

I think the car in question is a Brio for which EMT is the base model. You might be correct about the price though.

Hah, too many cars. Someone was asking about a swift vxi.

Your brio emt is definitely the base model, negotiate well down.

As already established, EMT is the base model. The price should be in around 3.20 lakhs is the car is in really good condition and if it is in superb and excellent condition then it should touch 3.50 lakhs. NOT MORE THAN THAT.

For confirmation, you can also check the Used Car evaluation at CarWale.

Hey folks,

Looking to sell 2012 Vento TDI Highline - 58k KMs on the odo. Very well maintained on the inside, fair amount of scuffs on the outside and an ugly bump on the driver side door. Service history available, no major accidents.

What sort of value am I looking at?
