I am so sorry. Missed out on the pricing.
Quoted is 3500000

The pricing is good too, since a new one cost over 50 when new. So just make sure this is not a commercial run vehicle, saying this because of the high running. And then have it checked with an Audi dealer because a lot of parts may be needing replacement, like brake pads, suspension parts etc. So try to negotiate if that is required. If the car is tip top and requires no work, 35 is a great price.

Picked up a 2014 fiesta, just done 20k km and belonged to Ford India, leased to an employee and later auctioned off to a dealer http://www.vjcars.in/

Excellent condition and the dealership's owner Mr Khaja is highly professional. Nice range of cars too, including several other fiestas, endeavors, ecosports etc that he seems to have picked up at the same Ford auction.

Only downside is that the dealership is opposite the Saidapet post office - meaning past a crowded market and near the Saidapet railway station. Getting this beauty out of there and back home without someone scratching the paint is going to be an interesting effort. Thankfully, plenty of parking for your car in his yard when you come in, and an aircon office to beat the heat.

Strong recommendation in case any chennai based bhpian wants a used car.

@hserus - Congrats!

It is still listed on his website. Asking price was 6.99 Lakhs. How much you ended up paying? We don't expect this crucial information missing from a person who advise everyone on used car valuation:D.

Congratulations. Is it a replacement to anyone of your cars or are you adding to the existing stable?

What big stable, just the one Amaze right now :)

Additional car. I need a highway cruiser as my job takes me out of town more often these days, so the Amaze is being left for my wife's use along with a driver.

Congratulations, I popped in this thread to ask if you got a chance to see any Corolla Altis. :)

Wish you good luck with your old new car or is it new old car. stupid:

Cheers

Congrats on your New Ride Suresh!

You will surely love the way it treats you back..:thumbs up

I used one for 75,000 kms in 2.5 years ( was sparingly used in hyd for 6 months ) before returning it back.

I used to get an avg of 19 KMPL. Pls find the details attached. :D

It's so robustly built and handles any types of City and highway terrains pretty decently. Ample boot space for Long drives.

Not to disappoint you but, only grouse is a little tight space for the 5th person. Especially on the long drives.

The G.C is also not so low as it is perceived by many.

Will be happy to help you at any point of time.

Regards,
Maverick79.

Fifth person is still a fairly small kid now so not an issue for a few years :) Thanks for the stats!

I will mostly be using this as a highway cruiser for regular chennai - bangalore drives and an occasional road trip, if not there's always the Amaze which has excellent rear seat comfort but leaves me with a backache every time :(

Congratulations on Fiesta Suresh, very good choice. Saw your steed on Sriharikotta drive thread & was wondering, mystery solved now.

Wish you many more happy miles

Regards

I saw an endeavor 3.2 AT on that website listed for about 24 lakh. What in your opinion is a decent price for that car?

Start at 23 lakhs and go up. Stick at maximum 23.4 or so - of course depending on vehicle condition, state of the insurance (if it is third party rather than comprehensive, expiring soon etc), tyres etc.

Start at a bit lower than 23 in fact. If like his other vehicles this is in mint condition a few 10ks extra paid here might save you lots more in repairs and such going forward so if the vehicle is in mint condition go ahead and pay some slight premium.

One of the Endeavors I saw there had a "special number" (TN something 5) so that might command some more additional premium based on the number plate.
