Fiesta 1.6S...what next? Fun-to-drive car upto 10 lakhs

kiku007 · 20th May 2016, 07:47

That's a great bargain for the SXI. My 2009 Fiesta 1.6L ZXi was sold for 2.9L in Jan 2016.

I did take a look. The dealer did not seem very interested in selling a car. He never called me back after the initial interaction, and did not offer a test drive. And somehow, the new Honda City does not seem to be as well put together as the old one. On this forum, I have read reports of the dead pedal coming out, irvm falling off the windshield, etc.

Finally, I wanted a petrol car with a turbo charged engine. I believe iVtec is not turbo charged.

Hi
Not sure if this is the right place but wanted to check what can I expect for my 1.6 sxi fiesta. It's eight years old and has done 1.01 lakh kms. Silver color, well maintained and single owner.
Love the car but want to move to an automatic.
Thx

Edit: The car is listed in the classifieds here -> http://classifieds.team-bhp.com/buy-...d/Fiesta.html/

The car is back in classifieds.

Strange since the same owner seems to have placed the ad on 23 May 2016. Was the car never sold?

Well whatever may be the reason, I'm glad that I came across what I bought.

ta1017 · 4th June 2016, 23:46

Just to clarify this is probably a coincidence as it's the first time I have put out an enquiry regarding selling my fiesta
Thx

Strange for sure. I did notice the car parked in my apartment complex a couple of days ago. I say check it out if anyone still want this 1.6S

Pitch it out for 2-2.5. Anything close to2.5 would be a bonus. If you're lucky, someone from the forum will give you a good offer.

Well I bought a Octavia 1.8TPI instead of the Fiesta 1.6S and life has been good

Wow. That is a LOT of very precise displacement!

Yours would have ABS, yeah? Why're you looking to sell it?

ta1017 · 10th June 2016, 13:52

Hi
Yes mine has ABS and sorry for typo wrt precise displacement
Am actually in two minds . Want to move to an automatic. So either I sell this or keep it as a third car since it still drives very well and I enjoy it.
I believe a car should be kept running and as a third car am not sure about that...
Head says sell, heart says keep !
Cheers

If it is going to the 2 of 3, maybe think of keeping it. If it is going to be 3 of 3, let it go. I am having trouble doing justice to mine, and I only have two cars. Like I said, 2-2.5L

ta1017 · 11th June 2016, 00:51

Hi
Didn't understand what you meant by 2 of 3 and 3 of 3
