Actually, 2-3l is the going rate for safaris from that vintage. However, the non transferable aspect puts paid to that Avenue. ![]() Back to the drawing board, and maintaining the Tucson. That's 10 years now, so I suppose it's for life. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() I am looking for a pre-owned Safari. I have always loved the Safari Dicor (more than the Storme) and due to the depreciation value of Safaris, I am a bit skeptical about buying a new one. Anyway, came across a 2010 Dicor VX 4X4 which has run about 39k. I did check it out. From the outside it looks well maintained, no rust and very few minor scratches. Engine wise, the acceleration seemed good during the short test drive, clutch action was predictable and not very hard and did not hear any abnormal sounds from inside the cabin or the engine bay. There was a slight chirping noise from the brake pedal though. Could not check the 4X4 system. The dealer is quoting about 7L and was able to get it down to 6.3L. But even that seems a bit steep to me for a pre-owned Safari. Would appreciate the forum members'/Safari owners' advise. And also, is there anything specific I should check before closing the deal (in case I go for this!!)? |

| ![]() 6.3 Lakh for a 2010 Safari is absolutely absurd. At maximum it may go for 5-5.5 Lakhs, the Safari is a tough vehicle to maintain past it's prime, but like most TATAs they are very sturdy and is as safe as a tank. The Safari is a car which you buys with your heart. |

| ![]() Hello Safari gets a low price if you do not wait it out I sold my safari gx 4x2 2010 for 2.4L It was clocked 39000 Had spent a bit by doing engine work so was hard to let go but since my car was a standing resort for rats sold it and bought a used scorpio 2011 vlx automatic for 6L (as my wife uses cars and requires automatic suv) Scorpios well kept fetch higher price than safari My opinion would be to check 1) wiring if the car at injectors (this itself causes most damages) 2) a engine run atleast 50-60k (my opinion a sparsely run car like safari may hv more unseen troubles) And if u buying from a dealer show him the intent that u will buy outright but give him a realistic quote. A vx 4x4 with airbags generally sell at a bit higher price a vx 4x2 a bit less but any other variant just go for the kill Also invest in a obd2 scanner. I always carry this with me to scan the ecu for any logged errors. Has saved me many bad cars All the best. Safari is amazing car if u take good care of it Last edited by lodhra : 14th August 2016 at 23:19. |

| ![]() I am also looking for pre owned Safari/Storme for a friend but since the Storme didn't sell a lot and the Safari hardly sold after the Storme, it is either an abused vehicle or a dealer vehicle which is available, at least at Bangalore. Someone had the gall to quote INR 3 lac for a 2005 LX done 1.2 lac km. ![]() |

| ![]() Hi guys, I own a 2012 model Safari Dicor 2.2, LX 4x2, driven around 65000km, Its been with me for a few months, and I'm not satisfied with its performance especially after driving a 2009 Pajero. I'm a little confused whether to give the Safari a remap or try to sell it off, any idea what is a realistic price for me to expect for this truck? Any inputs will be appreciated! |

I would disagree. A 4x4 would command a better price by a margin of at least 40-50K, more so for EX since this variant had alloys for 4x4 as opposed to steel rims for 2WD. Last edited by cool_dube : 8th December 2016 at 16:29. | ||
