Luxurious used sedans in Delhi-NCR under Rs 7 lakh from CarToq True Price: Maruti Ciaz to Honda City
Delhi-NCR is known for its expensive weddings and grand lifestyle. Nothing is a bigger statement than a luxurious sedan! A sedan is a perfect companion for a bigger family. Since you are looking for a used sedan, it has to be a pocket-friendly option as well. Top-end new cars cost upwards of Rs 10 lakh, but a used sedan can be yours for quite a few lakhs less. So a sedan that doesn’t cost more than Rs. 7 lakh should a good deal.
There are quite a few options in the used sedan market in Delhi-NCR. Although the number is lower than what we saw in the financial capital Mumbai, it is important to narrow down the list. So, we used two filters – the car should not be more than 5 years old and the usage factor will be limited to those cars that have not travelled beyond 50,000 km. There are nearly 100 car listings on any major used car site. With Cartoq TRUE PRICE, getting that luxurious used sedan in Delhi-NCR under Rs 7 lakh is easier.
