I have seen one year Old Yetis going for 12ish but then that was last year so they are now two year old Yetis. They do depreciate very very quickly, a fact you will learn after you have purchased one and want to offer it for resale. I beg to differ here and dont think the Yeti is a super buy at that price, contrary to my other friends to think so. Yes it is a pricey car, yes it is practical but the resale is very very poor on these things, though im in the market for one ![Big Grin](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.png) |
My Yeti has a chiller of an A/c. Probably the earlier ones had poor cooling. even when the ambient Temperature + Humidity outside is very high (36+ degrees), it cools down the cabin in a few minutes. and my yeti is parked from 10 am - 1.30 p.m. in the hot sun
Cars in the D and Higher Segments depreciate much faster and is not confined to the Yeti per se. the neighbourhood used cars dealers had asked my 6 Month old Vento TDI HL for 8 Lakhs (OTR was 12.04). its a different question that i managed to sell it for 10.25 Lakhs Quote:

I was negotiating with an exchange for my Swift Turbo but he wanted to pay me peanuts for my Swift which i didnt agree to. This was almost 5-6 months ago. Im sure the price has not increased. I have also noticed one more thing, the ads in the papers always jack up their prices. Private owners tend to get stuck to their prices. On a rare occasion one would find a bargain in the classifieds. prices in classifieds are almost always ridiculous.
The price i was quoted as above are dealer prices not private sellers so these are prevailing prices according to me. I would not touch a car at this price, if someone would, who am i to complain?
IT Nerd i hope that answers your question also. |
I have seen those Ad's on a few used car sites, and listed by the dealers sometime in August 2012. One was a White Active about 4 months old, and asking price was 12 odd.
two Mato-Browns and to Blacks were also available. One of these was an elegance which had done 56K Kms in a Year which IMHO was very high and asking was 13.45.
The Others were Ambition 4 X 4 and 4 X 2 done about 12-15K Kms and asking was 13-14.5
i had contacted all these dealers, but found the cost of re-registration prohibitive as i would have to pay 93% of the Invoice Value as Road Tax.
Also in one case from Gaadi.com for a Pune Registered Yeti Elegance 2010, the dealer gave me a quote of 13.5 which looked attractive. however when i took the VIN and checked with the A.S.S. it appeared that it had a major repair work of about 5 lakhs + Done on it which included replacement of quite a few body panels. Also the A.S.S. showed me the bills which were raised by Europa Auto and the KM reading on the date of the bills which was about 30K Kms, but the dealer had sent me pics with Just 8K Kms on the ODO. further the Dealer had the audacity to State that it was Parsi owned when the owner was not even remotely related to any Parsi Lineage!!
