As you mentioned, if the clutch is weak, that will set me back 50k. Don't know about the A/C but will factor that in as well.

Please find a mechanic you trust and/or that other bhpians in your city recommend. Have him apparaise the car, get a service history for the car from toyota. Then commit.

Why don't you get it evaluated from the nearest Toyota dealer? If not that it would best you take a mechanic with you to check it out. Btw attached is the price of clutch plates from Toyota. Other parts plus labor shouldn't cost you more than 20k.

I have come across a Honda City VMT, 2013 Vintage done about 10000 Kms. Whats a fair price for this car? Looks well maintained inside out.

Hi everyone, can someone recommend a good mechanic in Mumbai, who would come & evaluate potential deals for a reasonable fee

Is it a good idea to buy TD Vehicle? If yes, then what should be the pricing compared to buying from Individuals. What kind of registration is done to TD Vehicles? Do they come with the same White Board Number Plate? And under whose names are these Cars registered?

Please excuse, If this is a repeat question or If there's a separate Thread, please advice. The Car is sold as a used one, and about 2 years Old.

I have found a Honda City S-MT, registered in Aug 2012 done about 20000 Kms.

What should be the fair price for this car? Looks well maintained inside out except few minor scratches on rear bumber which he promised to take care.

Dealer initially quoted 6.25L, had come down to 6.

It's decent but you might get 2014 SV for 7.5 which imho would be a much better investment!

Alto will be way easier to sell whenever you decide to. So recommending the Alto. However, i dont know if the prices you have got are right....

Hello All,

Shortlisted a Swift Vdi ABS without airbags, following are the details-

Model - Feb 2015
Odo - 22000kms (Genuine, verified at MASS)
Cartrade Certified with Minor denting/painting done.
Dealer Quote:6.9L
Final Quote after negotiations:5.9(including brokerage)

Please advice, if it is it worth 5.9L? OTR price of a new Swift Vdi is 8L. The pricing is nearly consistent with all online evaluation tools except IndianBlueBook.

I would suggest option 1. Even you could have some fun when you take the k10 for a spin. However, you would have to check if the odometer reading is genuine.
Since Alto's have a stellar resale, getting >2011 model k10 for <1.7L is highly unlikely.

You could find few mechanics in the above website, you should take the vehicle there to do the evaluation.

Friends,

What is the reference price for a well maintained last batch Laura TSI (2012 - 2013) in Delhi with odo less than 50K and clean body lines? Could see prices around 4L in OLX. Actually trying to figure out if getting a car from Delhi and re-registering in Kerala makes sense since TSIs aren't common here.

Add to your car cost -

1. Transporting the vehicle from Delhi to Kerala (unless you want to spend some days and fuel to drive it down yourself)

2. Re-registration of the car in Kerala together with paying life tax on it pro rata based on vehicle age.

3. If you wish then - run pillar to post between the Delhi and Kerala RTOs for a few months in order to claim a refund of the lifetime tax paid at the time of the vehicle's registration in Delhi.

Read the "Moving a car between states" thread. This post for example. You may then prefer to purchase a car locally instead of even from TN / Karnataka. http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/indian...ml#post4147790

Any pointer will help me explore and hence reaching out to the thread

Want to sell:
SX4 ZXi in fair condition, 2011 manufactures 2012 registered. Stock tyres about 40K on odo.

Want to buy:
Pre owned Ecosport AT, preferably in the age band that would allow me to purchase extended warranty though not a must.

How much to expect for both the above.
Few additional queries are

- Are there any dealers that do part exchange in Mumbai / Pune?
- What to check specifically in a pre owned Ecosport AT?
- What can be cost of TCM replacement in an ecosport just to explore if it
is worthwhile buying new ( car expected to remain idle for few months
a year)
- Are the older models of ecosport better equipped than the newer ones?
