Before I start, let me warn people in Gurgaon, once you show your car to dealer or market, all world in Gurgaon know that your car is for sale. So do not try different dealers for getting better price. next dealer will get the news of your car on sale, before you reach him.
Actually this resale thing started 3 month back when I went to Dhingra Motors for safari. I told them that I will be selling my Indica so they got my car evaluated by an old sardarji. He has nothing to do with Tata, but he is just a car dealer in 2nd market.
So he evaluated the car for 1.35 Lacs. at that time I was actually not serious about selling so just listened and came back thinking its too less.
2 weeks later one of my friend, owner of TASC in Gurgaon asked me to meet a dealer for better price. We met and he quoated 1.2 Lacs. Haaa I was laughing and to get more I told him that Dhingra TATA guy evaluated 1.5
.
So he just went out of the shop, and to my surprise came back talking to that Sardarji. Now I was feeling the network. Anyway as he liked the car, he just behaved like nothing and quoated 1.37 Lacs. I was bit pissed off so I told him that I will decide later.
So till one a month nothing happened. 2 weeks back I visited APRA motors in Gurgaon to get my car evaluated for SX4 exchange. They asked me was it evaluated earlier. I said Yes at Tata Motors for 1.5 Lacs (tried to lie). He asked who evaluated. I said, one sardarji. And he said sir he will not give you 1.5 at all. Now I was surprised.
Anyways now I was sure that not point lying, just tell them what I want. They quoted 1.10 + Exchange Bonus. I rejected. Also I was not happy with the lazy responses I was getting from the executives
Same day I went to a car dealer thinking he may not be knowing about the car. I told him about KM done, year etc and expectation, and he replied in jaat accent, Sir ji isse to deekha choke ho, itna nahi milega
. Now I know I am trapped. This is a highly networked market and they have a trap well set.
1 week back I visited Vipul Motors and asked them to evaluate. 1.10+25K, deal done closed.
Next day when I went there to submit documents, the sales guy just mentioned, sir aapne APRA mae bhee deekhaya tha. Now I was laughing, but anyways sales guy was good, he just said, sir we will give you better than APRA.
So the lesson learned, if you are in Gurgaon, and plan to sell the car there. Sell it in 1st or 2nd attempt else you will trapped in net and will end up getting less or sell somewhere else.
Carwale.com is ok, people call you for inquiry, some even come to see the car, and I was about to close the deal but for some reason that guy did not turned up.I feel 90% inquiry calls from this site is cooked up.
