Hi,
After coming back to India, I was looking for a used car. I was initially looking for a used ford ikon 1.6 because I used to own one. My budget was 1.5 to 2 L.
Saw few ford ikon and rejected it. (Actually my mechanic whom I know for sometime rejected it) Reason for one being accident history and second was aged car 2001 model.
I zeroed in to a March 2010 Getz GVS and though I was not impressed with engine power, the desperation to get a car was getting to me. Price for the same was 2.5 L. It was over budget but the car was driven just 18K and was almost new. (Even seat polythene cover was not removed. The owner said that he will sell it once his visa get approved. After one week he called and said that his visa activity is postponed and car is not for sale anymore
Next, i saw a quikr add by a KPMG guy who wanted to sell his December 2010, 35K driven white accent executive. Initially he quoted 3.5L but due to urgency he brought down to 2.95. I checked the car with a fellow friend and later by mechanic who was very impressed this time. I negotiated a little bit but finally sealed the deal at 2.90L. The owner requested to give the car on 27th Sep evening as he is still in this place for a week and need the car.
I am waiting for 27th now. Will share the pics once it come to me.
