Anything specific to keep in mind while looking at Spark?

1.6-1.8 lakh would be a realistic guestimate. But I would strongly suggest you at lesser used options. 55K kms in 3.5 yrs? That is a lot especially for a petrol hatch.

I strongly suggest you to look for lesser used options. About 3 year old Spark with 20-25 K KMs would easily be available and would be a much better deal.

BTW, Great choice! Spark is a great car, I own one too!

The resale of Accord is very bad, and if it is a V6 and/or AT, then even worse; even with those mouth watering prices, it takes quite some time to sell them. Sometime during early 2012, I was offered a 2009 Accord MT with approx. 30k on ODO for 8.5 lac negotiable. That was a single owner car, and had full service history and the car hadn't sold for over two months.

Less than 1/4th of the price?

Is it only because of the FE? Because otherwise I don't find anything to complain about the car. It's a brilliant vehicle.

I agree that Accord is a brilliant car, have owned two of them and absolutely loved them, but this is how the market is in India.

FE is one reason, but not the only reason. Typically PETROL cars of that segment are very cheap in the used market, look at sonata, accord, CRV, VRs, etc.

Assuming everything is alright with the car and that you're buying this in Bangalore since it shows you're from Bangalore, I would say anything about 6 lakhs will be a good bet! I can see a few cars listed in the "Classified" section. You can check there as well and make up your mind!

Hello Sateesh,
You have not mentioned the mileage covered by the car. assuming that the car has done 35-40K's, the ideal price should be around 4.9-5.1L.
BTW, how much is the seller quoting?

Hope this helps,
Varun

He updated the mileage to 6K.

I see you updated the mileage later. It would have been better if you had quoted the above post and updated on the mileage too!

Hello Freind,

Used High End petrol Car's valuations have taken a severe beating in last few years (read after recent petrol price hikes). Also the Cars value reduces fastest in initial three years. Higher the price of car, higher is the value erosion.

Just have a look at below link -http://www.carwale.com/used/search.aspx#make=7&model=7.205&city=1&dist=50

In Mumbai, used car dealers are selling 2007 Honda Accord 2.4's for Rs. 5.5 to 6 lacs, which cleary means they would have bought these cars from original owners for less than Rs. 5 lacs.

Thanks,

Hi Guys, need some help. A friend is interested in a 2007 diesel Lancer, around 90K KM's on the odo.
Assuming a decently kept model, what should be the approximate price for this? Also, how is diesel Lancer as a vehicle from maintenance and upkeep perspective? Anything specific he should check or keep in mind?

WOW, a diesel lancer!! Haven't heard about it since ages in this forum(or any other forum as well )

As a car, it's quite robust. Simple turbocharged engine,snappy gearbox. Upkeep costs are reasonable,although spares will be an issue. The problem with cars like Lancers is that most owners never service these cars at the A.S.S. So service history is almost never available. Take a good mechanic along to inspect the car.
As far as price is concerned, 3-3.25L is max that I'll pay.

Hope this helps,
Varun

Lancer is Naturally Aspirated 2000cc Diesel engine that pumps out 68 Horses
When Cruze with same Cubic capacity pushes out 168
On a serious note,i wont pay more than 1.75L for a 6 year old Lancer Diesel

Thanks Nikhil for taking time to reply.

Hello everyone.

I am on the lookout for an automatic sedan with a budget of about 7 lacs. So far it seems that a pre-worshipped Civic AT is a no-brainer. What year model should I expect to get within my budget?

Are there any other alternatives to the civic that I should consider as well?
