I have searched most big South Indian cities on major used car sites, and havent come across any Jetta anywhere near this number (usually 2012 Jettas with 1 Lakh kms quote 7.5+ in BLR, TN and Kerala). Checked OLX Goa too and did not find a major difference (even if I take a 20% cut on quoted price). For the Yeti, I looked at Shankar Baalan's thread and the price he sold forlast year sale; while this one I am looking at is higher run car, the 3.5L price tag still looks way off. Trying to see if there are any pointers which you considered in your price calculation that can help me bargain better (other than the obvious German and discontinued German points)? | |

Now I am well aware of the disconnected from reality, used car prices down south. However, what the car is worth & what the seller is asking are two very different things. Another good cross check is to call up a used car dealer, and casually ask how much they would pick up a Jetta which has run 140,000kms, for? While to each their own, I never recommend overpaying for a car which isn’t a collector’s item. However, it’s your money & it’s your choice. But choose wisely. Quote:
The trouble with the D segment vehicles isn’t the cars itself, it’s the price of the parts. If something major goes wrong, often the cost of repair using OEM parts, exceeds the market value of the car. Hence the garbage resale value. Last edited by ChoosetoCruze : 16th November 2020 at 10:52. | |||

However I would still request you to look for more options. Both the shortlisted cars are too old (Yeti year-wise and Jetta odometer-wise) to serve you well for the next 4 years. Your erstwhile formula for buying used cars (3 year old, <30k kms) was foolproof and I'd suggest you to follow the same with some wiggle room. Look for 5-6 year old cars that have recently been through 60k km service. You can't compare with Delhi prices mate. Diesel vehicles here have to be sold to other states/scrapped on completion of 10 years. Resale value for diesels in Delhi is abysmally low due to this reason.

That is the reason we are planning to sell off the Innova and buy something like Creta or Seltos Diesel AT or Harrier AT or used Crysta(not much interested in another Innova). Last edited by car_guy1998 : 16th November 2020 at 16:24. | |

| ![]() Even though I agree that Delhi prices in general are lower than Southern India, I would like to point out that it is not limited to diesel vehicles. I sold a petrol comfortline manual Jetta in 2016 which was then just 6 years old with only 39k kms. In pristine condition. I had a very hard time getting 3 lakhs for it. No, it is not because I am a foolish seller who is unable to fetch a good price. I bought them rather cheaply as well. Those are the prices in Delhi NCR. People shy away from large petrol vehicles due to poor mileage and from diesel ones due to the 10 year rule. I love Jettas. I think they are the best bargain vehicle one can pick up used. However it would be unwise to pay a lot for it despite what you see as the advertised price. |

| ![]() Hi all, I'm currently in the market for a used Honda Accord. I came across this vehicle - https://www.olx.in/item/honda-accord...iid-1604006038 It's currently second owner car, but the owner says it's only on paper and he's been the first as well as second owner of the car. There can be some damage visible on the left fender and front bumper. I offered 5.5L for the car but the owner wont budge below 6L. I'm not sure what would be the appropriate offer for the car. Can you guys also comment on the reliability of Honda Accord and as a car in general? Is it worth buying? Also its worth mentioning that I haven't seen the car in person yet. |

| ![]() A close family relative is looking for a second hand car, that will be used primarily by parents in a b-town of telangana after few months. Target cost is around 5 to 6 lakhs max. Any thoughts. I have proposed to look for an ecosport as it can handle bad roads etc. And the tdci can hold its fort for a few lakh kilometers. 2014 versions run 1.3 lakh kms are available for around 5.8 lakhs. Isvit worth getting a tdci run in lakhs of kms? Any other cars for recommendation? |

Sorry if I come across as a bit naive, but do you mean to say, that if there is a IND in number plate, than the vehicle could have seen a major accident! My dad purhased a July 2018 Ecosport S, and it has that IND mark on the number plate. Feeling a bit worried now. Please advice! ![]() | |

Also, presence of IND plates does not guarantee a non-accidental vehicle. It's fairly simple to procure a new or replacement set of plates if one is really keen. So a buyer has to be equally watchful in either case. Last edited by self_driven : 18th November 2020 at 18:14. | |

I am quite sure this isn't an accidental vehicle as it behaves like almost a new one ! | |

| ![]() Folks, I am going to check a Hyundai Tucson CRDi automatic, top trim as per the ad (GLS AWD!), 2017 model, with 28K KM on the ODO in Kolkata. The price is quoted at 16.75L, negotiable. I'm yet to check the car physically or its service history though. I have a couple of questions for the more knowledgable members, 1. Knowing Hyundai's recent tread of build, fit, and finish (Nios!), is Tucson a good choice? Any particular issue with this car that I would need to keep in mind? 2. Is the 2.0 CRDi a competent motor? 3. What should be a good price for a 2017 top trim Tucson? |

Also, get a PPI done at an H.A.S.S or a reputed workshop to ensure that the internals are in good condition. | |

![]() Update: Annual service done, new insurance available, and front tyres were replaced 8 months back (so suspension needs to be checked) We revised the offer to 3.9L. Owner has not replied yet. | ||||||

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() What would be the fair price for a KA registered 2015 Honda City V vtec manual, 32k km run and 1st owner? The car has full service history from HASS. |

| ![]() OTR price was ~ 12L. Considering 10% depreciation per annum, 6L is a good price for a 5 year old Honda City V manual. Add ~ 5% if everything is in excellent shape. |
