A car guy told me this and I think i wont be able to buy my first car. is it true ?

me 22M and my brother 28M were planning to buy our familys first used car with a budget of 3 to 4 lakhs we had some decent options.

then comes this car guy who basically spends his whole life just researching about the industry and all.

he gave me one point that cars prior 2020 model year wont survive todays ethanol petrol as BS6 rolled out after 2020 and compatible cars came is BS6 phase 2 that is after 2022. so he warned me to not buy any car below 2020 or we will regret it forever as engine will be a trouble always.

and the owner is selling those old cars at lower price for the same reason - he said

given that 2020 and above cars are atleast 5 to 6 lakhs. we dont think we are ready to put that much on a used car rather buy a new one ?

not sure how real his presumption is but it has changed our plans completely. we were planning tiago

our requirement is just a car (just not alto or wagonr) that would give us 3 to 4 years to learn. resale value is not a concern.

is it true ?

Swift 2018 zxi plus or 2019 vdi plus - is it worth to buy?

I'm considering this swift 2018 zxi plus for 5.5L, in my area all of the maruthi cars prices have been inflated , what would be the best price to buy this

Also there is one more car, swift zdi plus for 6.53L , 75k driven, they've replaced clutch plate and something around crank shaft due to oil leakage, maruthi is advising to replace timing belt and general service which costs around additional 30k

What would be the best price to buy for each of them, please suggest

Should I go for this Honda WRV (VX) 2017 used car?

I've been eyeing this car for a while and I finally see a seller nearby in KA.

Specs as follows:

HONDA WRV(VX) Top Variant
IDTEC Diesel
ODO km 48,000
Second owner
Model 2017

Price quoted: ₹655,000 (negotiable)

The car looks fine, I want to know if this is a fair price? I'm sure it's high. What would be the ideal price range for this car? The owner will tell it gives good mileage (23k+) and is run only 40k KMs as a counter if I ask for more price cut. Need some suggestions.

Buying a used 2023 Hyundai Venue S MT (33k km) for ₹6.5L – Is it E20 compliant? Good deal? What should I check?

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to buy my first car and would really appreciate some advice from experienced owners.

The car details:

  • Model: Hyundai Venue S
  • Year: 2023
  • Engine: 1.2L Petrol
  • Transmission: Manual
  • Odometer: ~33,000 km
  • Price quoted: ~₹6.5 lakh
  • Registration: Bharat (BH) number

have a few questions:

  1. Is the 2023 Venue S 1.2 Petrol Manual E20 compliant? If not, is that something I should be worried about going forward?
  2. Does ₹6.5 lakh seem like a fair price for this car, considering BH registration?
  3. Are there any complications in buying a second-hand BH registration vehicle? Anything I should verify before proceeding?
  4. What real-world mileage are you getting in:
    • City
    • Highway
  5. Are there any common issues with the 2023 Venue 1.2 petrol that I should know about?
  6. I'm planning to get a pre-purchase inspection (PDI) done before buying. Apart from that, what should I specifically check? Service history? Clutch wear? Suspension? Tyres? Accident history? Anything else?

Since this will be my first car, I don't have much experience with cars, so any buying tips or things that first-time buyers often miss would be greatly appreciated.

Should I buy 2015 Nano?

So this is gonna be my first car, the guy is quoting 1.10L and I will only go for 70k if he comes down to it as he is willing to negotiate.

Please give me honest opinions if it is worth it.

It’s a 2015 XT model and the guy is the 3rd owner.

I have another nano as an option where it is the first owner but it it’s 14.5 years old and the guy is quoting 80k (will go as high as 55). The car has 33k running and needs AC gas refilled.

So which should I go for?

Honda Brio V (O) 1.2 2013. Should I buy it?

Last price will come around 2.4 Lakhs. 63k km on odometer. 2nd owner. Also I also have another offer of 3.5 L for a first owner honda brio, 2015 model, 74k on odo. Im new to drivung and wanted to start with a small and nimble car. Are these options good? Is brio a good car to start with? Also I want to sell the car again in 1.5-2 years, as Ill be going back to my home state. So will I get good resale value?

u/Cosmic7770 — 1 day ago

Which one is the best deal?

Both the cars are diesel, 1st owner and ran around 81-85k kms and have full service records available from authorized service center.

2012 Ford Figo is priced exactly at 2.16 lakh after all the taxes etc in cars24.

2013 Ford Fiesta Style is priced exactly at 3.10 lakh after all the taxes etc in spinny.

My original budget was around 3 lakh, but i am seeing both as a good deal, i am ready to renew the registration after its RC expires for another 5 years. And i will be using it mostly for upcoming 3-4 years.

Odometer fraud in the used cars market in India, more common and less detectable than buyers believe.

One thing that I have noticed is how much trust the buyers have on the odometer reading.

If the number looks low, the car is assumed to be a good buy. And if it's low somewhere, people just ignore it.

Ignore the reality check?

But when the real world inspections take place. Things don't seem to be that simple.

I have seen cases when the physical wear of car doesn't really match the odometer reading. The service history does not match the actual range/ usage.

Why we just rely completely on the mileage. When there is actually so much more than that, which should be considered?

Okay, so when you actually inspect a car which is a old (used car), what gives you confidence about mileage?
