After hunting for a car for the last 2years, having used OLX and quickr more than anyone else, test driven about 11cars, saw about 25+ and finally my friend bought a car!
His requirements:
Since our budget was low (max 1 lac) our hunt was really tough.
This is his first car so we all can understand how excited he must be. He has completed his driving lessons about a year back and is yet to be confident enough to drive in city roads/parking etc. Varun helped us by referring this car and my friend saw it, later spoke to the owner over the phone, negotiated and the price came down from 1lakh to 90K.
The sudden twist:
Yesterday when we reached the service center to make full & final payment to owner, someone else also had come there to see the car (with cash). He was ready for 1.20lacs for the same car! But the gentleman humbly replied to them, "I have given my word to this person and I got to stick to it, sorry". I was shocked by this and then we made payment, signed papers etc got the car washed and took delivery from the service centre itself.

His requirements:
- USED car only
- Power Steering
- AC
- Music System
- Plastic Door pads
- Below 1lac price tag

- I love HPS but cant suggest him as EPS is less maintenance compared to this.
- I love Fiat, he wants Maruti/Hyundai
- The more I suggest him low mileage powerful car (Ikon 1.6, Palio 1.6, Opel corsa etc), the more he talks about Zen, Esteem and Alto.
- I switch off AC even when I drive AC fit car, to enjoy the full pickup, he's exactly opposite, going slow is ok, without AC is never ok
