Hello Automotive folks!
We're planning to buy our first car in the family, Ever since my dad has retired , he has two things on his mind, a family vacation abroad (incomplete) and a car (incomplete). Initially he wanted to book a brand new vehicle from maruti/hyundai stable (Swift zxi, Alto 800 vxi,elite i20 sportz 1.2) but i've convinced him to buy a used vehicle so we could upgrade later in 3-4years. None except my dad in the family like Alto 800. So it was ruled out!
Since we're buying a used vehicle i would like to have additional inputs from you guys( Like precaution to be taken when buying used automobiles) . The car will be driven primarily by my father until i man up(<18Yo) , LoL
Budget - 3-4 Lacs
Brand preference - Maruti since we have service center in our locality.
Car condition - Used
Location - Distt Amritsar, Punjab
Priorities - ( Low maintenance costs, safety , comfort for elderly ( my dad is already talking about changing seats! , he likes seats in swift dzire )
Yearly running - <6000kms
Type of fuel - Petrol for low maintenance reasons!
Seating - 2 - 5 occasionally
Model year - 2012-2014 ( swift new shape, i20 idk)
Purpose - Highway commute 80% , city 20% maybe even less.
Design - My dad's heart is set on swift, everyone in our family likes that long nose!
Out of state purchase - my dad wants a pb number but let me know if transferring a haryana, CHD no. is easy or troublesome job?
Remarks - I was researching online for used cars via OLX , Quikr classifieds site. Contacted three sellers, following are details!
Swift vxi prices ( good condition)
km done - 25,000
Color - white
Price - likely to fix on 4.20 lacs
Swiff vxi - 2012
Km done - 18,000
Color - white
Price - Unlikely to move below 4.30lacs
These guys are quoting prices like 20% yoy depreciation is not applicable to their vehicles! Haven't contacted i20 owner own cause i heard petrol engine used in i20 is a little underpowered.
Help me out please!
