Hello beloved BHPians, We person 4 cars successful the house: an XUV700, Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta, and Isuzu D-Max. However, these cars are excessively cumbersome to navigate successful the city?s postulation and I?ve had a fewer brushes with postulation where, for example, the bumper of Seltos and Creta were damaged by rash scooty drivers who abruptly merged into my lane successful the market.

The request for a beater car was felt for a portion present but I?d ever kept it off. Anyway, accelerated guardant to today, I determine to thrust to the adjacent municipality to cheque retired utilized cars connected a whim. I travel crossed Maruti True Value and find a Wagon R (AGS) model. The car had 50,000+ kms connected it but drove well. A mates of nicks present and determination and immoderate rust connected the apical of the footwear but wide it was okay.

One constituent of interest was the wires coming successful the footwear which I aboriginal recovered retired was for a sub woofer which the erstwhile proprietor had installed but removed earlier selling it. Upon reaching home, I planned to acquisition it but the thought of checking registration details came to mind. When I checked, the car was shown arsenic a 2nd proprietor car. However, it was told to maine that the car was a archetypal manus car and driven by a lady. I?m wondering whether to spot the utilized car dealership oregon the details shown successful Govt portal?

The dealership told maine that they could merchantability the car for ₹4,50,000. Is that a bully terms for what would fundamentally beryllium a 3rd manus car? What scares maine is besides a uncertainty successful my caput regarding wherefore the 2nd proprietor sold the Wagon-R aft purchasing it. Perhaps the AMT gearbox mightiness person issues? Would admit immoderate suggestions from beloved members.

5 lakhs seems a small excessively steep for a 3rd manus Wagon R. I don't cognize which metropolis you're successful hence can't remark connected nonstop utilized car prices, but I conscionable checked connected a fewer utilized car websites and the mean terms seems to beryllium hovering astir 4,00,000 to 4,20,000. Best if you tin negociate a spot oregon amended look astatine different examples if you're not convinced IMHO.

Good luck for the bargain

EDIT : There is simply a BHpian's WagonR up for sale, cheque if its the aforesaid metropolis arsenic yours.

Hello PetrolHead2272, the car is simply a 2019 exemplary and is the ZXI+ exemplary if I retrieve correctly. And yes, the terms does look a spot precocious considering that it's a 3rd manus car and besides with regards to the rust and different electrical modifications carried retired by the 1st oregon 2nd owner.

Hiya Arnav17, yes the terms is connected the higher broadside and really to beryllium frank, the outgo of utilized cars successful my cervix of the woods is astir the range. Disappointing but astir of the Wagon Rs I looked astatine contiguous were of the 2019 to 2022 marque and outgo astir 5L. I'll effort and cheque different utilized car dealers again tomorrow.

Thank you for the options Taxman but my crushed for sticking with Maruti is the availability and outgo of spare parts successful my cervix of the woods. The AMT (in the Wagon R AGS) has unspeakable caput motion (as evidenced by my trial thrust today) but if I thrust it with a airy ft and merchandise it erstwhile it's changing gears, the car changes cogwheel without a fuss. Having gotten utilized to the Torque Converter (TC) successful my XUV700 AWD and besides Seltos (Facelift - 1.5L Diesel), I wanted to get an Automatic (despite AMT's not being arsenic creaseless arsenic CVTs oregon TCs). Also, our Hyundai Creta's parts are precise costly (just precocious replaced the oxygen sensor for astir 17,500+ rupees astatine A.S.S.) and wide I've seen that Hyundai parts are much costly truthful skipped checking retired i10, also, it's rather debased slung and for the upland roads I'll beryllium driving it in, I consciousness a Maruti would beryllium amended since attraction outgo would beryllium debased (with respect to Wagon R).

Thank you Condor. There isn't immoderate Cars24 successful my country but I'll effort and cheque different utilized car dealers and see. Most of them though terms utilized cars precise high. Before going to MTV, I visited different utilized car dealers and the terms for a 2019 basal exemplary Wagon R was astir 5,30,000 rupees. The terms of Rs. 4,50,000 for the 3rd manus car by MTV seemed enticing but aft knowing that it has 2 erstwhile owners, I mightiness person to reconsider settling for an older procreation Wagon R successful my area.

Once again, convey you to my beloved chap BHPians who took the clip to connection their insightful advice.
