The trouble is not everyone is diligent during used car purchases & the chances of them ending up with an endless money pit is far higher. Hence, I present them with a worst case scenario on what to expect, so they can make an informed decision. To your credit, you found a great example & its serving you well. Have to fully agree with you on that one! Last edited by ChoosetoCruze : 28th October 2020 at 06:59. | ||

Separately, related to the second post you quoted, does one look at the price when the vehicle was bought new or the current price of a new vehicle to judge its resale value? And finally I am considering a couple of BR-Vs in Bangalore. A 2018 (24k kms) model and a 2017 model (30k kms), Cvt versions. Both are through dealers. What do you think will be a fair price for them? Anything specific to look out for on BR Vs. | |

For mass market (not collector item) vehicles, the used car price is most certainly calculated using the full sticker price of when the car was purchased new. For Bangalore, a 2-3yr old BR-V CVT (~15.8L when new) should be worth anywhere from 10L-11L IF it’s in good condition. Remember it’s a discontinued model & also didn’t sell well. So don't be willing to pay too much of a premium for it. The vehicle itself, being a Honda, is trouble free. As with any used car, get it thoroughly inspected by a trusted mechanic/ASC, before you buy it. | |

My friend's family need a car and planning to buy a new hatchback with a budget of 6L. How about this Vento instead? What is the price we should offer for the same?

For the Corolla AT, if the mileage of 90,000kms is genuine (and can be proved) and the vehicle has a full service history (which can be proved), it may be worth 4L if it has a brand new battery & 4 new tyres. Otherwise, like mentioned by another member, 3.75L tops. | |

| ![]() Thanks. 6L is their budget. Is this 2017 Vento Petrol MPI Comfortline variant worth 6L? We were thinking of offering 5L for it. What was the ex-showroom price for this variant in 2017? I tried to find it but could not get the correct information. |

The on road price for a 2017 Comfortline 1.6MPI was ~10L on road. https://motoroctane.com/news/12901-v...leds-exclusive Thanks for questioning my advice, once again I apologise for incorrect advice earlier. Last edited by ChoosetoCruze : 29th October 2020 at 18:24. | |

| ![]() V. A. L. U. E. Doesn’t Lexus offer 3yr/100,000kms warranty in India? That should bring in some peace of mind. The only qualms I would have with this car is if it was an accidental or flooded vehicle (reason for such a quick sale?). As with ANY used car, get it checked by a trusted mechanic/ASC before you even start negotiations. |
