Thanks for the suggestion Vigsom -- i was getting more inclined towards mumbai due to lack of good examples in Pune. I also had the Skoda Octavia and Laura in mind , but i am scared of the cost of upkeep and maintenance and hence wary of considering them. Any suggestions for the Skoda brand?

Guys,
I am looking to sell my Zen Estilo in two months. I would like to know what would be the ideal price. Here are the vital information about the car:

- The manufacturing date Apr 2007
- I am second owner, bought the car from TrueValue. They have ensured the car was in good condition when sold.
- The car is in good condition.
- It has done 46K in odometer
- Its a VXi version (with power windows, beige interior etc)
- Regular service done for every 5K kms at Authorized MSIL service centers
- Tyres changed recently only 2k kms done on new set of tyres.

Please let me know on what would be the ideal price (I bought it for 3.15L around 2 yrs back)

[athanedar]

You can expect in the range of 2.2 to 2.35 lacs. Since the new owner would be third he might negotiate a lot.

Black Swift Zxi 2007
19k Odometer, sparingly used. 95% used in city.
Fancy xxx number, Chennai registration.
Single owner driven/worshipped.
Only modifications are the Black and Red art leather seats and the leatherite steering cover.

You can expect around 4 to 4.25 lakhs. Dealer quotes might be lower.

Now the reason I'm posting my first post in this thread is that I am getting a 2006 make Swift VXI (Petrol) for 200K in Bhopal. So far it has done some 51K kms on road.
Do you guys think it is the right price to get it?
What factors should I consider while negotiating the deal?
Being a newbie I'm pretty clueless on these points. Please help me out.

2 lacs seems to be too low for a 2006 swift VXi. Inspect the vehicle properly to check why it is going so cheap. Good ones around that age should go for 3 Lacs at least.

Cross-posting from a different thread - Am looking to buy a used Manza and found one quoting 6L for a sparingly run (under 15K km) 2010 Aura Quadrajet model. With a slight twist (as quoted below). Most Manza's that i have come across quote 6.5-6.7L, so found this pretty reasonable - more or less matches Carwale pricing. Any thoughts/suggestions?

Any concerns or specific things i need to focus on to ensure it is a clean and transparent transaction.

I wish to sell my Baleno, How much should i expect:

- Model: Baleno Vxi, regn 2006 (year of mfg 2005).
- Color: White
- Regn: Delhi
- Onwer: 2nd (i bought it in July 2006, it only 6months old)
- Kms done: 53,000
- Serviced always with maruti service sation with all records.
- VIP regn no.
- CNG kit fitted 4months only back (14kg cylinder, BRC kit)
- New tires.

Earlier this was driven only once or twice a week since we have 3 cars but for past few months we have been running more so planned to run it on CNG but filling the cylinder and standing in long long ques is a pain in butt so planning to sell this week or early October, how much should it fetch.

POA is legally valid and since this is his father, i don't see any issues. Maybe to be on the safer side, get a written letter from the owner validating this sale.
As long as he/POA holder can ensure the car is transferred on your name in RTO, you should be safe... Perhaps you can also use this 'twist' to bargain a bit more.

2Lacs for a 2006 model is slightly on the lower side. It should caution you more than normal. A quick check by Maruti Service person (i think they charge for this service) should provide you with accurate details.

2005-06 Balenos go for around 2.5 to 2.8 lakhs in Chennai. Use that as a pointer for selling your car. Though I am not sure how much difference the CNG kit will bring in.

If that be the case then Chennai has good market for Balenos coz in Delhi dealers are quoting much lower than this. I will be happy to sell it around 2L with CNG kit fitted.

You can expect 15% to 20% below the On road price of the car. Can I know why you are selling such a new car?

+1 to what singleton estimated.

Presence of CNG kit evokes mixed responses from different customers. Some customers who prefer cars to be as stock (OEM) as possible will try to bargain hard, while some will argue about the drop in performance while negotiating.

Some others who don't mind the CNG kit will pay the same as any other baleno in the market. Don't expect to recover the CNG kit installation costs through resale value though.
