@ ritesh,

as u say, the car must be pretty fine & 12,000 kms is nothing so just go ahead with it, but the price seems to be bit high. get him down & finish the deal.

@ Ritesh,

Car seems to be good but a drive of approx 250 km a month?? If the mechanic says the car is perfect go for it. Price also seems attractive. You can click here and find out some prices.

I think the seller would agree since he is willing to sell it !  I don't see people selling of their cars at 12 k after 3 long years, simply because they know they won't get anything out of it. If he s willing to sell it means he doesn't expect a good price either.

Personally, if All above is true,

12 k, LPG, good condition, decent stereo everything. Then that sounds like a very good deal.

Also , Makesure to check the date of Manufacture of the tyres yourself. Sometimes it tells too many hidden stories !

Cheers

Yes, That't True Karan. Usually The tires Mfg date should be around 2-3 months before the car's manufacturing date and month. That means those are original tires along with the car.

Yes, the Steppini too . Don't forget to check it. Most probably, (considering was used too less) one of the 5 tyres would be almost NEW. This is however an assumtion. But DON't forget to check the tyres.
