Yes, you have to diligently look on each website. Most of the cars I came acrsoss were too high on mileage or absurd on price. There were a few 1.3s trying to pass off as 1.6s. I had to wait patiently for a few months. Quote:

I cannot get myself to take ads on Olx seriosuly. At a pinch, I check 'CarWale' used car section, to cross-check the prices being quoted. , but it will be super helpful if you could mention which all sites or other avenues which you explored while hunting.... |
Websites I used very actively: Tbhp classifieds, car trade, carwale.
You will notice that the serious olx sellers and most Maruti Truvalue, etc will have a parallel listing on either of these sites.
I followed this procedure for my case:
1) Check the listing
2) Speak to the owner and try to gauge his seriousness, authenticity, level of negotiation etc
3) Once Im sure, checked vehicle history with Maruti (I have good relations with a service centre and they helped me out on phone).
4) If all above are true then fix an appointment and check the car
Since I was looking for a model that was less than 2 years into production, I had a lower chance of finding bad examples. I checked it myself and took a cousin along who can also assess the car. If you are unable to do so, I suggest taking a mechanic along. Best will be if after you check it and are totally convinced, get it checked at an authorized service center. They will charge you for it, but that cost will be worth for the peace of mind it will bring to you. Quote:

What I meant was the brightness of the central touchscreen and not the MID on the cluster. In any case, I will look for it in the manual Quote:

They're all the same, the children of this age. Quote:

I dont like the new design at all. That was another reason to speed up my searching process. Quote:
