The "USED" Car Price Check Thread

Jebs · 26th October 2009, 12:16

My Cousin wanted to buy a used car. We approached to Maruti Truevalue whites road, chennai. They offered a Maruti Esteem -Sep'2002 model which only complted 23K(!) with the clear service history. Also they said, it was driven by a lady. We checked the car. it was fine. we did not find any issues so far. They quoted the price: Rs.2,05,000. Is this good price for an esteem. There is absolutely no scratches and decent/well maintained interiors. My cousin based from pondicherry as he wants a car for Only long trips with low cost maintanence. Please help to finalize the car.

Hi Jebs,

I sold my Esteem (in exchange for Verna) to DSC Hyundai for 2 lakhs the details of my car are

ESTEEM VXI-2004
50K ODO
2nd Owner

Very well maintained, I knew the 1st owner personally. All the services were done by CARS India, Ambattur for which the bills are still with me.

I think the price quoted to you by True value is high for a 02 Model irrespective of the odo reading.

Hi manish,

Thanks man. We also felt the same, but they stick to that price tag only. Only problem is , my cousin liked it.

Please check if the tyre has been changed.
Maruti does not check if the previous owner did an odo reset.

I would say the price is high, It is close to 7 years. Does not matter if it had low mileage, esteem engine as mentioned by many in the forum can last more than 1.5 lakh kms..

You can get 2002-2003 esteem for 1.8 lakhs..

3L max. Not a penny more. Actually 2.9 would be the best buttt the other party would not get over the psychological barrier, unless you are lucky or they are dash dash dash.

That is a nice vehicle with an expensive sale tag. 7.75 to 8 would be good.

4.75 -5L for this one. If it is a troublesome car then the floor value of the range I quoted.

60K - 70K for both parties to be happy. An '87 Omni did Bangy - Pun last year in 30 hours and last week it got sold for 40 K. Bad condition with an LPG kit. Remember a 2nd hand Omni has a lot of value in the market than one might percieve. It makes a great low budget people and material mover, specialy with 2 rows of seats in the middle. OR no seats to carry material.

Folks - what would be a good price for NHC Gxi, 2006 model with ~35K on the odo? Car is in pretty good condition. TBHP classifieds section has an ad from the seller for NHC Vtec with ~65K on odo for 5.75l

I would price it at 9-9.25 L. Low mileage and an AT hence would command a price over 9L.
