Greetings!

I have seen a 2004 manufactured - Jan 2005 registered Petra D EL car with 75000 kms on the odometer in an immaculate condition. Single Owner driven car, all services and replacements undertaken on time, entire suspension overhauled and all fluids changed very recently, and no accident history.

The owner is quoting 2 lakhs as sale price.

Kindly advice what is the best price to buy this car.

Regards,

If you ask me stay away from the Petra unless you are ready to pay high prices for parts and consumables.

Incase you want to still go ahead with it then offer max 1.50L and not more than this as dealers would have probably offered nothing more than 80k for this car.

How much would a 2006 September model Scorpio SLX (run 78K kms) fetch?

I'm planning to get a pre owned Laura TSI. I'm looking for relatively newer models (<30K kms). For how much would I get one?

Very good petra diesels you may get from kerala under 1 lakh. However, better to stay away from petra. Service and parts availability/cost will trouble you. If you go with family for a tour, the first thing you have to ensure is the availability of service and spares. This you will not be able to ensure with your petra !

I was also liking the petra with its robust build quality and the rear looks ! (many do not like). I am keeping away due to the above reason.

Hi

Have come across a I20 AT Asta 2009 September manufactured km run 18000 single owner Mumbai registration. Owner asking about 5 lakhs.

What has been the track record of the I20 AT Any major issues ect to look out for the gearbox ect.

What kind of average can one expect.

Any other issues to be aware off.

A close family friend of mine is selling his Swift Ldi 2008 with alloy wheels, 4 power windows, mga remote locking, brand new tyres and full insurance. It has clocked 49500kms and just serviced with full service history.

The problem is he is the second owner and is quoting 4.20L for it. Is it worth the buy?

Condition.of car is ok with a crack in rear bumper and dents scratches here and there.

Hello Amidoc,

Just check on Used Car Websites, 2011 I20 Asta & Magna are quoted for approx Rs. 4.5 to Rs. 4.75 lacs frm Dealers. Which means these dealers would have bought the Car from sellers for approx Rs. 4 lacs.

Now, your 2009 AT Asta for Rs. 5 lacs is very high price. I feel a price between Rs. 4 & Rs. 4.5 lacs will be a good Price.

Also please note the mileage (average) in city will very low i.e. less than 10 kmpl.

Hello,

Rs. 4 Lacs for 2008 Swift LDi is a high price, but used Diesel Maruti Swift cars are in huge demand & I have seen 2007 Swifts going for Rs. 3.6 lacs. Thus Rs. 4 lacs for a 2008 car is what you will have to pay.

Thanks,

New development. I had a look at the car and TD it. I have made an offer for 6 lacs and owner has said he will think and revert by tomorrow.

Now, million dollar question.

Ford Fiesta Classic 1.4 CLXi TDCi Diesel, 15000 kms run, Dec 2011 model, White color, Extended Warranty for Yr 3 on sale by company colleague.

1. Is it worth a buy at 6 lacs?
2. How does this deal pit against new Chevy Beat diesel at 6 lacs?

Banking on you guys. I need to take a call by tomorrow.

My roommate is seriously thinking of buying a 2003 Honda City 1.3 DX. Well maintained and 60000 kms old. The asking price, after a lot of bargaining, is INR 170000 and the cost includes brokerage and cost of ownership transfer.

Does this sounds to be an okay deal?

Well, go for it. Hyundai i20 1.4 AT is a great city car and well for an automatic 5 lakhs sounds good. The car hasn't clocked much too seems to be a great deal as the car when bought would have costed around 8.5 in mumbai.

I own a 5 month old Chevy Beat D and have friends with Fiestas. To me its a question of where you drive your car (mainly city or inclined/off roads) and how much you need the boot?
Beat doesn't have enough power for those hills but has great fuel efficiency. So if I were you, I will opt the Fiesta for its engine n boot space.

How much should I pay for a Ford Fusion 1.6P 2007 model in Bangalore? Single owner, ~60K kms done. Looks like good condition from photos, yet to see the car. What is a good price to start with?

1.75 to 2.25 lac range max.
Typically take the carwale valuation as an indicative base and do a plus minus 50K depending on the vehicle condition.

Does the Fiesta variant has ABS, If so then you can buy it without any issues. If it doesnt then Beat with ABS make a better proposition. it also depends upon whether you need a hatchback or a sedan. Are your seriously looking for an used car, then you can think or else go for a new car.

Hello iCars,

That is indeed a million dollar question. Now, what is your need? Do you need a hassle free city car for daily commute or you are also going to undertake outstation trips?

Because the million dollar difference between two cars is boot space. I drive a hatchback & truly understand the need for large boot.

If you are looking purely for a city car for home - office - weekend commute then go for a new Chevy Beat. They too offer three years warranty plus a new car will always give you a peace of mind.
But if you are going to use the Car for outstation trips, specially with family then used Ford Classic i the Car for you.

If you ask me personally, I will go for Dec 2011 Ford Classis for Rs. 6 lacs. Reasons - it is just a 10 month old car, owned by a colleague, 15000 kms for a diesel car is nothing, pleasure / comfort of driving a sedan & most important - Boot space.

Thanks,
