Hello to all fellow TAIs,
I just happened to come across the forums here and took no time to join.
I am put up in Noida and looking to buy a used car for local travelling in Delhi-NCR region. I have a decent knowledge on cars. I own a modified Thunderbird and now looking to buy my first (used) car to cope up with my new marketing job (just out of campus) in Delhi. I hope you guys would guide me on this.
Purpose:
1. Marketing job and hence good amount of travelling involved in the city.
2. Weekend trips outside Delhi.
3. To save myself from the horrific weather.
Looking for:
1. Any car (hatchback or sedan) less than 2 lakh rupees.
2. CNG option is must if the car is not diesel driven.
3. Newer than 2003 models.
Prime concerns:
1. The car should have good fuel economy in petrol/diesel & CNG.
2. Should have low maintenance costs.
3. I am 6 ft with heavy built and hence need a comfortable driver's car.
Find:
1. I have found a Baleno VXi model with CNG. Has done around 85,000 kms and priced at 1.55 L. Should I go for this?
2. If yes, what all should I check when I test-drive the car?
Kindly help me with some short-cut technical tests which I should do while I test-drive the car if I am not accompanied by a mechanic?
What all aspects should I consider in buying a used car?
Help me out guys.
