I'll need to get the car registered at Mumbai hence need to make provision for octroi also. Experts please advice.

Good drivers car - Check
Low on FE, check(but mostly due to the point above)
With a light foot, and decent driving manners, youll be able to push it up by a couple of KMPL more, but trust me, that sensibility will be lost when you take her out, FE be damned)
3 lac- good price? Check.
Bad resale value - Check.Isnt that why you are able to get for 3 lacs...
Use it till you plan to move on.youll get more than your money's worth.

Bombay's used car prices are what, about 10-20% more than delhi?
then its fine.

I came across a i20(sports) which is available for sale. It is a 2011 model driven just 3100 km and is in excellent condition. The owner is willing to let it go for around 5.25.
What do you guys think. Is this a good deal. Should I take this car or go for a new car.

Is this a diesel or petrol?
If you are unaware of the i20 steering rattles issues, please search here on tbhp. Just to warn you such issues exist. You may want to verify this before buying any i20 (new or preowned).

This is a petrol model. I am aware of the i20 rattling issues. I have read the i20 reviews posted here. However what I gathered from there was that this issue has been rectified by Hyundai in the 2011 models. Does the issue still exist. I will check with the owner for the exact manufacturing date.

From what we hear and see, no.
The issue has been reported in 2011 models too.

Some info about the rattle and Hyundai's response (or lack of it) here:

I dont remember which page it is on, but there is a video that you can hear this sound clearly (this is not a 2011 model).

Try negotiating more for the T-Jet . I assume the Fiesta 1.6S is a 2009/10 model? Since its a second owner i advice you stay away from it inspite of a decent price . Go for the T-jet !

I would opt for the T jet if I funds were not an issue. Awesome car!! BTW where are you getting these deals from ?? Both are pretty good deals

This makes very good sense at 5.5-5.75 lacs only if you compare this deal to buying brand new - a clear 2.5 lacs advantage

Buy this only if a Linea Petrol is the only thing you have in mind

But please remember , you'll have to be mentally prepared to lose a lot when you sell.

I'm getting a used Accent Executive -
December 2008, 70K kms done.
Serviced at hyundai only.
Aftermarket cng kit installed.
Price quoted 3L. Carwale evaluation shows about 2.8 - 2.9L.

Its my friend's car so i do know how its been driven & maintained. but isnt the mileage too high for this price ? I'm confused about it.

Hi everyone,

i'm in the market for a used 320d (for various reasons i'm not interested in any other car at the moment). I found a guy who is quoting (negotiable) 23lks. Its run about 17.5k, single driver, well maintained and drives quite nice (i test drove it).

Now I'm sure 23lks is too much but what do you guys think is a fair price? I like the car want to close the deal asap but dont want to over pay.

please help, thanks!

What is the manufacturing year of the car? Also, is it a 320d Highline or CE? I'm sure you could negotiate a few lacs anyways since the FL is coming in a few months. BTW, why not a new 320d CE? BMW is offering heavy discounts on it currently.

[nishantmohan]

the RC says May 2008 so i guess thats the manufacturing time....

Its a highline model. I'm not interested in the new CE because i'd like all bells and whistles and also it will lose a lotta value in a years time.

What's going to be your usage like?If it is about 15k a year,the car should serve you well for 4-5 years.Price looks OK to me
