- It asks ₹60,000 less than similar cars. Find out why before you haggle: an accident, a flood, a loan on it or unpaid fines are the usual reasons.
- Dealers who came down on a car like this came down about 2.6%. Ask for a free service, new tyres or the transfer fee instead.
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 1,40,000 km
- At 140,000 km the schedule has already called for: spark plugs, brake fluid. Ask to see the bills.
- On a diesel, have the turbo, the injectors and (where fitted) the DPF checked: those are the expensive failures.
- At about 13 years old, rubber and electrics matter as much as the engine: hoses, bushes, the AC compressor, and rust in the sills and boot floor.
