How "used" is the car? Because if it is in good condition, I think it is a great deal or maybe I overpaid for my pre-owned Octavia.

I recently paid 18.6L for 2018 1.8 TSI Octavia which had 28k on the odometer in Bangalore.

Do get it thoroughly checked though from the Skoda service center to make sure it doesn't have any mechanical or electronic problem. They will charge you Rs 2500 for the full report.

MARUTI TRUE value gives you 1 yr warranty. They are always better and expensive than your local dealer.

90K is lot of mileage though.

Scross 1.6 parts are generally expensive and take some time to arrive.

700k for 6 year old is very high price to pay.

575k at TrueValue looks to be best bet as they offer one year warranty and three free services as well, are these prices for Banglore City as prices looks to be on higher side especially dealer quoted one.

I don't know if my experience is typical, but I found Sagar True Value (Banerghatta Rd) to be extremely unethical. Do not go by the reputation of Maruti. After taking delivery, I got the car checked by Surakshaa, my regular ASS, and they found numerous issues. [they are reluctant to point out issues in a TV vehicle] In spite of pointing out the issues Sagar TV did not rectify them. Their warranty is useless, because you cannot pinpoint anything specifically. Finally, sold back the car within days and bought another newer Alto k10 (you can imagine how much money was lost in the process). And yet again, even with the newer Alto, the minor issues like the stereo wiring and duplicate key were never sorted out. Had to pay a FNG to fix the wiring and get a new key paying extra. Again, while taking this car in for regular maintenance at Surakshaa, came to know that they had not changed the air filter and spark plugs as they had promised. So beware!

These are Mumbai prices

Okay, used car dealer price is on very much higher side, off late dealers are asking premium on maruti diesel cars as maruti has stopped production of diesel cars post BS6 norms.

I would suggest pay 500k ballpark for almost 6yrs old cars else look out for Diesel Venue, Hyundai's 1.5 diesel engine is gem to drive. Diesel venue is around 11.4 to 14.5 range and non discontinued model means spares availability will not be an issue unlike Maruti's 1.6 diesel spares.

Pay more attention to the condition of the car, service records, test drive and a proper check by a FNG (since one of the option is from Maruti). From the brief description, 5.75L seems okay. I had shared a few prices of my car and others in my thread if you need a comparative reference. But the final decision should depends on the above aspects. There are good dealers / garages in the Mumbai dealership section. See if any of them works out for you and have a connect with the shop guys. Might work out as a FNG servicing/repair shop for you too in the longer run.

We are looking for an used automatic hatchback. As a first time car buyer, how many years back is it safe to go in the used category and which would be recommended cars to have fuss free ownership? We think we will stick with Hyundai or Maruti and that I guess leaves us with options like i10, Grand i10, celerio amt (no experience of amt but here I see people not favoring it).

I do see plethora of regular i10 from 201-2013 on OLX but not sure if I should go that far.

Also should I be exploring options like spinny?

I am located in Borivali, Mumbai.

Car looks clean inside out and is well maintained. What should be the right price for this one?
Also any pointers from the current Brio owners on the things to look for specifically?

If you have done your bit verifying the service and ownership history, anything in the range of 3.5L +- 10K looks like a decent price for a Brio with under 30k on the ODO.

Not more than 2.25 L, provided there are no issues in the car.

Would be nice if one of the Brio gurus chime in

A happy co-owner here

Hi Bhpians,
I Am from Bengaluru and looking for a small hatchback to serve my sisters driving learning skills. I went through a lot of resale ads (OLX, FB), Resale Retailers ( Cars 24, Spinny, True Value, Mahindra First Choice). The conclusion i made is resale cars are much much more in demand than the covid vaccines. People are paying around 3L for a 2014 alto lxi which might have costed nearly the same OTR back then. Is it that this is an artificially created hype by resale dealers and prices will cool down in a while or we will see demand increase more.
Just for ref a vrand new Alto Lxi o with driver airbag is 4.30 post discounts and an Alto Lxi 2014 15k run is being quoted 2.95 non negotiable

The only hope in BLR market is to find and deal with a direct seller. All the dealers inflate the price to ridiculous levels. I'm sure if you talk to 3-4 direct sellers, you'll find a good deal, but you'll not find anything worthwhile even after visiting all the dealers in town.
