Finally the chapter of Black Workhorse in my life has been closed. I handed over the car, key and documents to the previous owner's sister. Had never imagined in the wildest of my dreams that I would sell my car within one year of purchase. Bought it home on 8th Nov 2014, sold it on 17th Oct 2015.

I must appreciate the way you handled this problem. You never lost your calm and patiently dealt with the previous owner.
And in return you got a decent value from the previous owner.
It all restores my belief that Good things do happen to good people. |
Yes, somewhere I was deeply hurt after knowing that decent, well-to-do people (like the owner's father) would cheat so blatantly. Many friends were insisting me that I could have blasted the previous owner or sued him for cheating and forgery. I have a simple principle, "As you sow, so you reap".

As for telling it to family that you are parting with the car, IMO, tell them the whole story with the truth. If I reckon correctly you were hesitant to tell them earlier as you thought they'll be uncomfortable sitting inside the accidental car. But hey, now you are selling the car and they won't be traveling in it. So telling the truth shouldn't be a problem.
Just my thoughts. Others may pour in.

I shared with my parents the true story with all the facts. Even they have been very supportive that I took the right decision.

About the transfer of ownership-
1-Get the new owner and the previous owner sign a letter (with a revenue stamp) saying that you have handed over the car.Keep a copy to yourself and send one to the RTO.
2-Signature on Form-28,29,30 and 31 (please verify if all forms are required) which can be downloaded from- http://www.rtopune.info/downloadrtoforms.htm.
Please keep a copy of all the signed documents.
Make sure you mention the date in the column below your signature.That will make sure the new owner to compulsorily transfers the ownership. |
Thank you Rakesh for the suggestion. These are really valuable inputs. I made a proper agreement on a Rs 500/- stamp paper, attached photos of both parties, photo id copies. Also wherever I signed, I mentioned the date underneath it.

This set can be sent by regd. post to the RTO so that it is legally no longer your liability.
Best of luck. |
As of now it is not decided to whom they will sell. Hence I have just given my signature on Form-28 and Form-29

However, I would advise, before handing over car and keys, strictly follow this:
1. Get underwriting on a stamp paper from the next owner taking possession of the car (and all things related to it) about
- such a deal and its details with complete naming of all parties involved,
- the responsibility of the next owner to get the car transferred to own name, and thereafter the insurance as well,
- signed by all parties involved,
- keep the original with you and give a copy to next & previous owner
- if needed, spend that minuscule amount for the stamp paper agreement, in effect legalize it in case at all needed in future and for your complete peace of mind since you are taking so much pains for it
- freeze using the car thereupon at the stated reading / condition etc
2. Get the next owner to
- prepare and sign off all RTO documents related to transfer,
- keep one copy of all with you,
- ask them to submit the document to RTO and get the receipt from RTO for the same and a copy of the same for you. It doesn't take long to do this process if all documents are in place, about a day at most by self.
That should relieve you of any and all things in future as far as the car is considered.
About telling to your family, be genuine and upfront with complete story.
Best wishes. |
Thank you parsh. You have been very supportive and helpful all throughout my saga. I have done exactly as you have suggested above

True Sameer, I have exactly the same thoughts. Though I am a bit dejected that the car in which I had poured my heart has parted ways with me, I am readying myself for my next car, which would be a brand new one out of the showroom.

Thank you swamyzen. Releived, yes I am, but having mixed feelings. Happy that the deal went smoothly, but sad that a part of my life and family has been snatched away.

Regarding the transfer, get an undertaking signed by the new owner that he is the new owner of the car and anything untoward happening is good responsibility.
Sign all papers and hand it over to the owner and also get the some ID proof of the new owner for safe side. Awaiting for full details.
All the best for everything and Advance congratulations on the Ertiga ZDi+. |
Thank you Anurag, I have done exactly what you have suggested. Hopefully the agreement that I got done on a stamp paper will safeguard me in case of any furture unforseen events.
Ertiga ZDi+ is on the top from the current short list. However I don't want to make a hasty decision, now that I am "car-less". Two days back I test drove the Scorpio, Today I test drove the Mobilio. You won't believe the Mobilio RS(O) has a cash discount of 1.5 lacs and the SMT and VMT have a cash discount of 65K + corporate discount of another 7K. Tomorrow I am planinng to check out the Lodgy.

The same thoughts went through my mind initially. Actually the real culprit was the owner's father with whom I had sealed the deal, hence there was no point in blasting the owner. Rather I respected him, when he gave me the buy back offer, knowing that his father had made a blunder. There is no point in crying over spilt milk. Some things are destined to happen. How we react to them determine our mettle.

So you've decided to get the Ertiga now? Great! I guess even the mid variant(VDi) makes sense now because of ABS and airbags being standard. Plus the split folding 3rd row seats are a great convenience.
Is the Ertiga gonna be a standby till the new Innova is launched or is she a keeper for a few years? I hope not! Cause I am eagerly awaiting the first 2016 Toyota innova ownership report! *winks* |
.
You are spot on Shanksta. The Ertiga VDi has now become tremendous VFM car. However it misses out on the rear wiper, which is a must for my next car. Only for that reason I may opt for a ZDi. The ZDi+ offers very little over the ZDi for the premium it is asking, hence in a bit of dilemma.

Thank you Akmar and Sudev.
It is only the well wishes and tremendous support that I received from all you BHPians that have made it possible to smoothly sail over this tide in my life. Had it not been for this community I would have been completely shattered and broken in pieces by now.
Life is getting back to normal and I am hoping that the days to come will only bring cheer and joy in my life.
The last parting shot that I took of the Black Workhorse before handing over the key.
