What to offer
- Owners who came down on a car like this came down about 5.7%.
- It already asks ₹51,000 less than our fair price of ₹13 lakh, so do not push too hard.
From how far sellers here have actually come down, not a promise. An inspection prices every fault it finds, and that moves a seller further.

What to check on this one at 26,500 km
- Timing chain, not a belt, so no scheduled change. A rattle for a second on a cold start points to a stretched chain: listen for it.
- Torque-converter automatic: shifts should be smooth, with no flare in revs between gears and no delay engaging Drive or Reverse. Ask when the gearbox oil was last changed.
- Turbo petrol: watch for blue smoke on a cold start and listen for a whistle or a loss of boost. Regular oil changes matter more on a turbo engine, so read the service record for them.
