1.15-1.25L seems to be a decent deal to me as well. However, you could call up any True Value as a "seller" and ask for the price of the same car. Now offer 10K more than that and close the deal.

Please realise that a mahindra with 65 k on the odo is as good as a Toyota with 120 k on the odo. Do not get influenced by the year of manufacture alone.

What is your opinion with regard to the prices? Any suggestions?...

What's the on-road price of the Polo TSi ?

Doesn't look too bad a deal, but I'd bargain further to try to get 25k more for your Jazz and pay 25k less for the Polo. The polo is a petrol automatic and won't have too many takers. That's one thing working in your favor, the other being that it's not that much cheaper than a new Polo, so you can push for a bigger discount on the asking price.

If I were you I'd mention the dodgy past of this gearbox and state that taking the extended warranty is an extra cost, so all these factors should net you a nice little discount. Go for it, the Jazz is more spacious and practical but other than the Polo is better than it in almost every way. Lots of mod-ability too, as Robi Mahanta's thread on the forum proves!

Good luck, and keep us posted!

Polo TSI is a nice replacement for Honda Jazz but beware after driving the GT you will not like any other sub 15 Lakhs car currently in the Indian market. 3.75 looks a good amount for your Jazz as its only done very less miles for a 4.5 year old car. And I would definitely try to bargain more for the GT TSI as you can expect a face lifted model soon for the VW Polo and petrol Automatics are not much in demand even for a car such as a GT TSI which has a waiting period for new cars. (I would try to close the deal as soon as possible if there is a waiting period for GT TSI) 4 and 7.5 looks an even better deal

I recently sold my 40k kms done Fiat Punto EP 1.3 MJD 76 bhp. I sold it to Honda terrace in exchange of Brio VX AT. Most used car dealers were quoting in range of 2.75-2.95. Honda Auto terrace offered me 3.20L. I handed over the car to them without any 2nd thoughts for various reasons.

How much for a 2009 Skoda Ambiente Diesel Manual done about 30k in Bangalore? Seller's asking 8 lakhs but is open to negotiate.

Isn't the ambiente the top end? This particular one apparently comes with 8 air bags and stuff.

No, it isn't the Top End, that would be the 'Emotion'.

Sorry this is the Skoda Laura, not the Rapid.

I saw a Black MH-01 registered 2011 Honda Civic run 37k today its a 1.8 V MT with two owners. However the dealer over the phone first said he has full service history but when I went to see the car he showed me the Car Manual which showed that free services had been done till 11k.

He said I can verify its service history at the Honda dealer, what's a good price? It doesn't have insurance and the insurance expired more than 3 months ago. Condition seems to be fair with a few scratches.

He is asking 6 Lakhs.

Hello Foxbat,
2011 car,barely run & already 2 previous owners?! Move with caution.
The Civic has a very low GC, so check its underbody thoroughly. You can verify its service history at the Honda dealer. Take a copy of the lapsed insurance policy & check for any claims.
A VFM price should be around 5-5.25L

Regards,
Varun

Yeah the two owners with such less mileage sent alarm bells ringing, it might be a lemon. What do I do if the Honda dealer doesn't have service history or only partial?

5-5.25L is what I am looking to pay but no cars are even advertised near that price. Or perhaps everyone is looking to bargain. If anyone has leads for a 2010-12 Civic in Bombay please message me.
