Also ask how much he sold it for? Take a good mechanic you know well and get the car completely examined. Better still take it a service centre and put it on the ramp and check. To me the car looks very neat but that could be becuase it has been painted with a single coat. 3 lakhs for a nine year old car sounds pricey. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

creativebala 178 Report post Posted July 29, 2010 Is this a good deal? White Swift VXi ABS 2007 run 54k kms from Maruti True Value for 3.45L. But no free service & warranty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
asethi919 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2010 Depends on the condition. If it is in absolutely immaculate condition, than it is worth it otherwise the price should be 25-35000 rupees less.

rahul1810 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2010 3.45 is too much for a 3 year old car with this much on the odo. 3 lakhs is what I feel it deserves. Look out for used Getz, its a good car and you should be able to get some good deals out of it. Also bala, if you are thinking of spending 3.45 lakhs on a second hand hatchback, it would be better to go for a new Santro Xing or Alto 1.0. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
asethi919 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2010 @Rahul Swift in the second hand market merits a very high price and therefore 3-3.25 is not a shockingly high price for it. Â @Bala I second Rahul's recommendation for a second hand Getz. Its a great car. Very nice to drive, spacious and practical. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creativebala 178 Report post Posted July 29, 2010 Thanks Asethi & Rahul for your suggestions. The White & ABS is what makes me consider it, a real rarity in market. Will check it out tomorrow 'n will update. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sb-alto 21 Report post Posted July 29, 2010 3.5L for a 54000km run car is a bit on the higher side, but it is no surprise since it is Maruti True Value. They always charge higher, much higher to be very honest. Moreover when it is a swift Vxi, expect bad tyres, scratched wheel arches and damaged underbody (by speedbreaker hits) If you are looking for a Getz then avoid a 1.1litre Prime version. Poor FE and too underpowered. Search for the old 1.3litre one. sb-alto2010-07-29 10:39:38 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
asethi919 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2010 1.3L in the Getz was a great engine and I always thought that the older version of Getz i.e. before Getz Prime was sort of better. It had the 1.3L engine. But it is infamous for having absolutely horrible FE. Just based on hearsay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
