Recommendation #1: Mahindra Scorpio S10 AT
Year: 2015 / Kms Driven: 31,923 / List Price: Rs 830,000 / Ex Showroom Price: Rs 1,328,000
This entry, which comes at a discount of 38% to its original price is 4 years old and has done 31,923 Kms. Currently with its second owner, this white coloured SCORPIO comes with a diesel powerplant. A Scorpio with 30,000 to 60,000 km should be fine but do get it checked thoroughly because Scorpio owners tend to fall in extremes: one set really takes care of the SUV while the other just mauls it. The most common problem owners have associated with the Scorpio is got to do with its electrical components and electronics. These can start giving trouble within a few years of ownership. The one here is sparingly used, and going by the degree of accessorization, rather well taken care off. And its an automatic which, giving city traffic, is a blessing and rare find.
Recommendation #2: Mahindra XUV500 W10 2WD
Year: 2016 / Kms Driven: 35,000 / List Price: Rs 1,450,000 / Ex Showroom Price: Rs 1,645,000
This entry, which comes at a discount of 12% to its original price is 3 years old and has done 35,000 Kms. Currently with its first owner, this white coloured XUV500 comes with a diesel powerplant. It is well appointed and photos suggest has been looked after rather well. It’s also newer than the previous entry on the list. However, the asking price is high-so we suggest negotiate hard with a target price of Rs. 13 lakh.
Recommendation #3: Hyundai Creta 1.6 SX Plus Diesel
Year: 2016 / Kms Driven: 23,841 / List Price: Rs 1,200,000 / Ex Showroom Price: Rs 1,336,000
This entry, which comes at a discount of 10% to its original price is 3 years old and has done 23,841 Kms. Currently with its first owner, this red coloured CRETA comes with a diesel powerplant. Creta is a very built car and so one with just 23,000 km on odo is likely to be good for another 8-10 year-so its pretty much like getting a new car. Plus, this is a higher end model which comes loaded with features. The asking price is a bit high so if you can negotiate the price downwards, you have a very good deal.
