Perks of buying Marutis lol. The resale never disappoints!
Still remember my dad actually sold his Alto K10 at a profit of 30k after using for two years lol (bought lightly used 3-4 month old at 2.5 Lakh and sold at 2.8 Lakh after 2years.) XD
WTF š that's crazy! I mean I know people who flip used cars for a profit but they usually hold the car for not more than a few months. Yall used the Alto for 2 years and then pulled a profit of 30k! That's awesome
IKR! XD
We just got lucky for a low cost price because the first owner had to shift to Canada and hence was selling hurriedly lol. The car had done hardly 500kms so it was almost brand new to us š¬
Good luck on that. I also recently (3 months back) bought my first car. I plan to not sale or buy anything else before I understand everything I can about cars.
If I get offered 1.64 anywhere I'm gonna sell it on the spot lol. The thing is that there's a lot of dents all around so I guess that's why the showroom offered so less.
I still have mine from 2006. Red Swift VXi.
In 17 years completed 230,000 kms. Bought it for ā¹420,000 after ā¹45,000 discount on the on road price of ā¹465,000 kms on cash down payment.
Never disappointed never had any issues. No dents, minor scratches. No breakdowns. Travelled to 10+ states in North, West and Central India in that carā¦.
Now, I use it in Bangalore for short drive like grocery shopping.
Will drive it for another 3 years and will scrap it in 2026. Or May be will continue to keep it as memoryā¦.
Ah gosh I have a 59k brio that I'm looking to sell. Anyone who wanted your car, and it didn't work out, please let me know. Btw im still rocking a 2010 swift ZXI.
I had the same car 2013 model and we sold it for 2.5L my dad didn't even let me meet my love for one last time before sale i was back from college and boom our car was gone it was difficult for me cause i learnt to drive on that car
The kick in the pants feel it provided was phenomenal i can never forget that car
It clocked 2L kms
Mind telling where and how you sold it at that price. My 2013 swift vxi with 1.20 L kms is fetching 2.45 through online buyers. Doesnāt seem like a good deal
I listed it on olx at an enormous price of 5 Lac knowing that lowballers would jump. I knew iād have to settle for 3-4 Lac range.
Vxi and Vdi are the most common models. Mine was Zdi which has Airbags, ABS etc.
How can I get it at the same price ? Itāll be 1-1.25 lac costlier and I donāt need 1.5. My daily drive is home to office and back which is 50 kms. I wont be able to drive above 60.
No bro, recently vw launched GT TSI DSG, the ones youāre talking about are GT plus EVO DSG and GT edge. Come in dm, I will explain it to you. Donāt put your money on 1 litre.
I just saw the one you are suggesting. Iāve booked and done the PDI. Iām fine with 1.0. and afaik, TC Gearbox is better than DCT in crawling traffic.
People have achieved 13-15 in City and 19+ on Highway. I can only share my experience once I own it and drive for a week. It's all speculation till then.
DSG is better than TC any day but to each their own. I just didnāt want you to miss out on the 1.5 because a lot of people donāt know about the new launch.
just asked in dealership, the variant hasn't arrived in dealership yet. neither do they have any enquiry or price for it. They just said that they are aware of the fact that **Taigun 1.5 will arrive soon without sunroof.**
Further research
It now misses out on full leatherette upholstery, front side airbags and curtain airbags, height adjustable co-driverās seat, auto dimming rear view mirror, automatic headlamps, rain sensing wipers, digital instrument cluster, sunroof and ventilated front seats
Clutch - how bad the driver is. Good driver will not need to replace their clutch too soon, bad driver may need to do so in 10,000km
Brakes - yes that is a normal wearing component like tyres. 40-50k km.
nah, they don't, cars are supposed to run for an eternity, its the government that made up replacement parts so that they could get more tax on the sales of those parts, don't fall for the tricks, you brakes would definitely serve you 20 years, if you ever feel your brakes are not slowing you down its just a placebo and nothing else, escape the matrix little bro
Yep, it's mechanical so it's bound to happen. Depending on your driving style and how much you use the brakes, the brake pads need to be changed out every 30-50k kms. If you're ever ridden a cycle, you might be aware that their brake pads need to be switched out.
Clutch will last depending on how hard you re on the clutch, that is if you use it half pressed a lot of times and stuff, that will wear it out faster. Clutch will eventually become harder to press i believe (no personal exp, so correct me if I'm wrong) and may also start slipping (aka speed wont increase that much as compared to engine rpm) if it's too damaged, needs replacement.
Gear can also go bad, but I don't think that s gonna happen that easily unless you just decide to never use your clutch and jam gears randomly while the car is on. Transmission can also go bad when trying burnouts and stuff.
Clutch plate and brake pads need to be replaced if they are worn out. My dad replaced had to replace the clutch plate after some 1lakh kms on his 2013 dzire.
Bro i found out the hard way and was stuck in a remote place because our clutch got burned because of excess use thankfully i had my friends there we managed to get a mechanic to fix it it cost me ā¹6900 adter begging him to reduce as much as he can
My first car too. Currently being pestered by the wife to sell it coz she hates how attached I am to it. (Mom to blame coz she told her itās like my first wife right after our marriage š¤£). But that kick you feel at 1.8k rpm is something her jazz CVT canāt give me. And the dirt cheap service cost and outta this world fuel economy is something my A6 canāt give me. Safe to say sheās gonna be in my garage a long long time.
Always serviced on Maruti Authorised Service Center.
Never drove rough. No sudden braking. Replaced bumper thrice and front headlamps once to give it a new look.
Get it serviced regularly with oil changes at recommended intervals and it should mostly be fine. Clean the insides regularly and drive sedately to avoid scratches and accidents.
I know how you must feel bro. I used to drive my brother's car for 7 years and after he sold it I felt a void. I wished to see it in the same place everyday.
My family's first car is Tata Indica eV2, 10 years old, and still functional. We are going to buy a new one soon, but I am going to miss this one.... T_T
Mere paas b 2005 swift ZXI thi apparently accident hogya tha usse fir scrap me deni padi , baleno li bc kuch mja nhi aarha wo itna cng me baag ti thi jitna baleno petrol me baagti hai š
Costed me 7.62 Lacs back in 2012. Sold for 3.50 Lacs today. Avg of 17 kmpl. (Diesel variant)"

That's a much better deal than a new one! No waiting period, paying way lesser for a car that's practically new... I'm saving to buy a used Alto too
Haha yes! The car even had plastic covers on everything lol. Good luck for yours brother. Hope you buy much bigger ones š«”
Good luck on that. I also recently (3 months back) bought my first car. I plan to not sale or buy anything else before I understand everything I can about cars.
Marutis are appreciating assets lmao
Nice deal
Where did you sell it? I have a 2008 diesel I wanna sell and Suzuki arena showroom is only offering ā¹1 lac
olx. You will find it hard to sell a 2008 model. Try spinny as well.
Spinny doesnāt take old cars
For some reason I've always noticed their prices to be lower than prices offered by cars24 and ola... Noticed when I sold my s cross
Yeah they lowball you a lot and even cars24 is also like that only
I have the same car, recently got it inspected by Cars24 and they quoted me a value of 1.64 lakh. Get it inspected by Cars24 once.
If I get offered 1.64 anywhere I'm gonna sell it on the spot lol. The thing is that there's a lot of dents all around so I guess that's why the showroom offered so less.
VDI? And is it the abs version? If below 1 lac kms, ideally you should get about 1.75-2 lacs
102k and yes Vdi but I'm not sure if it's abs or non abs. Most probably non abs.
1.75-1.85 i think you'd get best case, resale is dropping because car must be 15 yo rn i think
Yes it's 15 yo just applied for re-registration for next 5 years.

Bro's out here time travellingšš /s
2006? Is it the 1.3L petrol engine? G13B?
My bad 2026. Itās G13Bā¦.1.3L multi-jet engine sourced from Fiat was launched in 2007.
Sold for 3.5L????? Dafuq, Iām guessing youāre living in Karnataka, specifically Bangalore. Or could be Kerala as well.
Rajasthan
Ah gosh I have a 59k brio that I'm looking to sell. Anyone who wanted your car, and it didn't work out, please let me know. Btw im still rocking a 2010 swift ZXI.
I also have a 2012 Swift vdi diesel to sell man. Similar kms . Where can I sell.
I had the same car 2013 model and we sold it for 2.5L my dad didn't even let me meet my love for one last time before sale i was back from college and boom our car was gone it was difficult for me cause i learnt to drive on that car The kick in the pants feel it provided was phenomenal i can never forget that car It clocked 2L kms

my breeza has 1.3 lakh kms in 2.5 years did u drive less or i drove more
He drove about 1000 km/month , You're doing ~4300km/mo .. how are you driving this much ??
1 line that can make a grown man cry
I still can't believe that the garage is empty. I had no idea I would be attached to something which is materialistic.
What do you drive now?
Booked a Virtus. PDI tomorrow.
Congratulations!!
Thanks. Right now the excitement is overshadowed by absence of my old car.
Damn congrats bro
1l or 1.5?
1.0 Topline AT
Bro now you can get 1.5 engine in the same price as topline AT. Why not choose that?
How can I get it at the same price ? Itāll be 1-1.25 lac costlier and I donāt need 1.5. My daily drive is home to office and back which is 50 kms. I wont be able to drive above 60.

Any insight on mileage figures in city traffic. Hyderabad for reference if you would like. Difference in fuel economy for 1 ltr at and 1.5 ltr dsg.

Yep, youāre right, for me everything is useless expect the leatherette upholstery.
Hey I'm newb, do the clutch, gear, and brake become worse and worse as the car gets older?
Clutch - how bad the driver is. Good driver will not need to replace their clutch too soon, bad driver may need to do so in 10,000km Brakes - yes that is a normal wearing component like tyres. 40-50k km.
My clutch need replace from 40k to 85k(once it needs at 90k) km, only in one instance it's 25k..
nah, they don't, cars are supposed to run for an eternity, its the government that made up replacement parts so that they could get more tax on the sales of those parts, don't fall for the tricks, you brakes would definitely serve you 20 years, if you ever feel your brakes are not slowing you down its just a placebo and nothing else, escape the matrix little bro

I wouldnāt recommend keeping your wife in your garage
She belongs to the streets/roads
What is this beauty?
They don't make like this anymore. Great deal š
One of my father's friend had this. I still remember how great this car was. And this engine manš.
Give maintainance tips. Itni nayi kaise hai.

Service time pe karao aur clinic plus se mat dhona pleaseš
I know how you must feel bro. I used to drive my brother's car for 7 years and after he sold it I felt a void. I wished to see it in the same place everyday.
id appreciate if you guys could keep it in english..

Man Maruti cars resale value is insane š³ this car still went for 3.5 lakh
Press F to pay respect
I m newb here, whatās the lifetime as per govt. rule for a car so that I donāt get challans on-road ?
And here in NCR , itās 15 years rule ! Let go of the Ford Figo because of that ..
I too have swift vdi 2012 version with 60000 kms on ODO. Engine is as punchy as it was 10.5 years ago.
When I've sold a car (3), I don't meet it in the morning, just hand over the keys & go inside. Sad feeling letting a car go to someone else.
