Yes sir, referring to the "Used Car Valuation" tool that Carwale has. I have a 2011 Polo Diesel Highline registered in 2012 and the value for it is 6,37,500 as per Carwale if in "excellent condition" Most buyers aren't willing to pay anything more than 6.4 after lots of negotiation. I'm expecting in the range of 6.7-6.8 taking a depreciation hit of 20% which I believe is on the higher side already. Nobody is willing to believe that carwale prices aren't 100% right

Polo is currently being advertised by the company with 0% interest. That may translate into 10% kind of rebate on price. If you take that in view, 6.37 would be less than 20% depreciation.

Guys how much can be expected for Fabia 1.4 TDI Classic. 2010 Model. Run 62K Kms. In Pune. It is the 2 Airbags Version. And in good condition.

What you've mentioned is true only for Polo petrol as confirmed by the dealers. No such offer on the Polo Diesel Highline. It retails for 8.8lakhs today, so 6.37 for a 2011 model seems too low, and is way higher than 20% depreciation. What's more strange is VW is offering a 40k discount on the trendline,30k on the comfortline and only 10k exchange bonus on the Highline!

How much shall I expect in return for my Altis Diesel J, 2011 model done 25-26k...has a good audio system and alloys!!!
Very well (immaculately) maintained and is nearly as good as new as it has been sparingly used esp for a diesel..

Few observations:

The fuel efficiency I am getting is around 8.5. Is this normal in city traffic or is it my driving style? I have been driving it really calmly till now. Using regular fuel and not premium.

The gear shift from first to second is a little jerky. Don't know why that is.

Braking is OK. Not very confidence inspiring. Could it be the stock Bridgestone rubber which has less tread left on it?

I find the headlight brightness a little low. Can someone recommend good bulbs which might make a difference or any other alternative.

Rest every thing is smooth, no rattles what so ever, AC chills very quickly, all electricals work perfectly, engine is silent and smooth, shocks are in good shape.

Will click some photos soon and share.

Cheers

Congratulations on the new buy!!!

Yes, Civic will provide you that much mileage in City. And yes the low beams are very poor, High beams are excellent though. Gear shoft between 2nd and 1st is jerky. Even I feel that especially when down shifting.

Suspension, even in good condition, is not good enough for Mumbai because of ground clearance issues. :(

Off Topic: Does anyone know a good installer for spacers and Coil spring adjusters in Thane?? I definitely need to install something which will prevent scraping for my civic :(

You can do the Coil spring adjusters on your own, just jack up your vehicle to the maximum and insert the CSA with a bit of soap oil/ soap solution. Initially it is a bit tough to get the thing inside the springs and then on it will slide up effortlessly.
Cuts facing to the vehicle means max height adjustment, away from the vehicle is for comfort. I have been using towards the vehicle upfront and away from the vehicle at the rear on my Baleno since about a year and half. Has given me a sigh of relief from the scraping the speed breakers and large potholes.

Year : 2009
Kms done : 45000

Price (he probably won't reduce further) : 6,00,000/-

Person : Actually quite a nice guy, doesn't seem at all to be faking it or anything, an architect in Bangalore. ~40yrs old.

PS : I'm not personally connected to him in anyway. Just regretted it. So posting it here incase someone's interested, PM me or just quote me in your reply.

Mitsubishi Cedia Sport 2.0
2006 Model
43k on odo

Also, would like to know on the service aspect in Bangalore now.

It may not make sense to buy an outside state vehicle.
For the vehicle, the KM's are on the lower side - so please get service history checked.

Asking price around 3 lacs is fair for this car if it is in good condition.
However, the road tax will spoil the party somewhat.

Do remember, the spares are expensive and mostly unavailable at the A.S.S. - I have to source them in the outside market or even import them in some cases.

Hello winlotwin,
I'm not aware of Bikaner prices but this seems like a decent price,in fact I feel the price is a little too less. I might be wrong here.

Check the full service history & also for claims on the insurance. Try to bargain to 2.5L is all is right
