Any feedback is helpful.

Deal sounds good, but and the car looks beautiful. It's the most desirable version in the most unmistakable color too.
And that "very detailed" service history looks promising too.
I do feel that there may be a slight markup, based on the fact that it's an s. You may want to negotiate on that.

Car looks good to me, Plus i guess it has aftermarket alloys too, With 52k kms on the ODO, Tyres will be at the end of their life i guess.

See the car physically, Check service list and see where the last service was done and what was the odo.

Try negotiating a bit, Deal looks all good to me as suggested by mayank is above post.

Cheers,

Thanks for your reply Sameer.


Guys,
I have another car in sight. Its a 2010 Linea TJet Plus, driven 15k kms, Single Owner, Color:Tuscan Wine, all standard no mods, asking 6.5lacs. The pics look great. As good as or better than this Fiesta.

I know the price is on the higher side, so I ask your opinion on the price and which car would you choose?

P.S: I have owned a Punto earlier so I have an idea on the AS* and interior quality etc..

What do u guys think?

Nothing to it. All I meant is, if the service history matches the clock (mileage),that's good.

Try negotiating on it, Considering many members on the forum, got a new T-jet for 8L OTR, This one looks over priced to me.

Try bringing it down, T-jet is an awesome car, If i have to pick one between Fiesta S and T-jet, It will be T-jet anyday

Good luck.

Cheers,

Guys.I am looking for a used sedan mainly for highway runs.it will do about 5-6 k kms per year. Backseat comfort is paramount.

The only car I see fit for my purpose is a Toyota corolla.

How much should I expect to pay for a 2006;2007 model with service history. I guess cars of this vintage will have about 60k,70k on the odo.

Please post some details, what is usage ?, he wants a diesel or petrol ? What is his budget ? His requirements etc ?

And please mention the prices of cars listed above by you.

Cheers,
Sameer

[sarathlal]

He is open for both petrol as well as diesel.
Budget is around 9 lacs max and he will be mainly using it for the day to day office trip plus fortnightly long drive.

The reason for not quoting the expected prices of the above cars were because, they were ridiculously mentioned, for eg, 12 lacs for the Civic. Once we have an idea of the market condition, thought we could negotiate with that, totally forgetting their quoted prices.

My take on the Civic would be 8 lac. Can add or reduce after seeing the car in flesh. For the other two, I dont have any idea.

Hi Guys,

Sadly, I had to sell my Lancer a month ago due to some financial crunch But now things are looking better and I have a lateral upgrade in mind with a budget of about 3+ to 4L max.

The two contenders I have in mind are a Corolla or Cedia. Before I go ahead with my queries please keep in mind that:

1) Am a complete petrol head
2) I'am planning on mild performance upgrades i.e. FFE, CAI etc.
3) The model of the car is not a concern, the condition is though.
4) If some of you are wondering why Corolla happens to be one of my choices, I've used my friend's FFE'd CAI'd Corolla in the past and it's simply awesome
5) I've already seen couple of specimens on the TBHP classifieds but am just waiting for the finances to be finalised next month.
6) Resale value is not a concern.

Now for my queries:

1) Which of the two of the cars are easier to maintain i.e. cost of spares etc?
2) At the budget I've mentioned, can I get a Corolla or Cedia in decent shape, here in Bangalore?
3) How does the Corolla compare to the Cedia as far as straight line performance and handling goes? Please note that I've never driven a Cedia.

If someone could list out the pros and cons of each car, it would be really helpful.


Thanks in advance,
Aadhitya

Hi all,


Slightly off the topic, but there is a 2011 Freelander 2 for sale at Royal Motors, New Delhi, who are supposedly dealing in sale of premium preowned cars. Any info about this company? How reliable are they, and is it worth to go in for a pre-owned version, now that a new one is coming soon?

Also, have been notified of a used X3 from Bird Motors, BMW Gurgaon, for about 40 L, 2011 vintage. How does that sound?

Does anyone have the web id of the used audi website? Heard they are also into selling pre-owned cars.

Thanks in advance
