Why buy: Maruti SX4 VXi with just 23,000 km on odometer and an asking price of Rs 2.7 lakhs is next on the list A reliable sedan backed by a solid and inexpensive service network for just one-third of its original price. The VXi variant in Maruti line-up has all the features you’d really need. If sedan is what you are looking for, then this is a great buy.
Recommendation #5: Maruti Suzuki Swift VDi

Why Buy: Any car that has clocked less than 15,000 km and comes for half the price of it’s new avatar, is a very good buy.

On surface, there is none but a 5-year old car with just 13,000 km sounds a bit dodgy so have it thoroughly inspected before signing the cheque.

In Summary
You’d notice that three of the recommendations here are well under your budget. The two that in the higher band of your budget are automatics—which are a bit rare on the used car market. And all are sparingly used with a good five years of trouble-free ownership ahead of them.
