Which car for me?

[kairalee]

I will be visiting the car owner on saturday for physical verification of the car.

Let us know how that goes...take along a reliable mechanic if you can, preferably someone who is familiar with Maruti cars.

kairalee thanks for the inputs.I will visit him on saturday and update. In the mean time do let me know if anyone comes across a good deal under my budget for AT Santro as well.


Update:

Just checked the cars for sale ads. 2008 model Santro AT Black Color, Single Onwer. Quoting Rs.3.55 Lakhs

I guess these are the trends for AT cars. Don' you guys feel its over priced?

The price is high for a 2009 model. Anything between 2 lacs to 2.25 lacs will be reasonable.

Rs.2.65 lakhs

For this you can go for the new BRIO or EON itself. why do you require a 2nd hand car.

what is the condition of the car? have you checked it already?

Also, raama 2.65, i find it on the higher side specially for an Alto, sorry but its my opinion...

Try walking into one of the branded showrooms, since your are not particular about any specific cars.

1. Mahindra first choice and Hyundai trust, these 2 are next to each other, and are in Kormangala.

2. Maruti True value KR Puram is one of the biggest used car showrooms Maruti has in South India, there always will be a minimum 50 cars on sale here... I am sure for the Budget you have, it will be a easy pick.

A friend whom i was referring to a while back has returned from these places, and he said there are some great deals, he skipped all that because he is crazy behind buying a Zen...

See, i agree, your going to pay more premium in these specific places & there are some horror stories too, but they are any day better than the usual dealers in Bangalore who look to con you from every possible angle.
