Need advice on which car to buy - CNG fitted Esteem or Indica V2

To day i have checked a Indica V2 diesal, which is of 2002 rgistration, power starring, single owner, no damage to car body, new tyres, Insurance expired & has been droven for around 40 Thousand KM. The car owner is asking for 1.50 Lac.... Plus trasfer & other things.

What should be the right cost of car?

I think the price of Rs.1.50 lac quoted is quite reasonable.  However, try & bargain to the extent possible - tell him to atleast get the insurance renewed & bear the transfer expenses etc.

Needless to add, check the insurance history for accidents/claims, if any, and also get the car inspected from a good & reputed garage.

The car is 6 years old and it is about time that the rusting of body parts starts pretty much in most cars - not a major thing to worry if the owner has followed regular maintenance and has taken good care of the body. Believe me, for 1.5 lakhs, you might just get a car that is about 4.5 to 5 years old. But then, this one is not used much as 40000 is not such heavy usage in 6 years. Suggest you to check the maintenance records and other details - more specifically directed towards the body of the car to ensure that rusting is not existant or is not heavy to start with

Yes, price he is asking is not bad if the car is in good conditions, Check the body of the car from inside and outside. Go through the service book of the car and if possible, check the insurance/claim history too.

hi all,

i am new to this forum

i found it very intresting, i also want some help, as i am owning a 2nd hand esteem vx 2000 modle and i am confused whether i should go for a fittment of cng or not, as i dont know whether it will be successfull or not ?? and what precaution or check should be followed while going for a cng fittment ??

CNG is very economical.  It will, however, reduce power by 20-25%.  But it should not be a problem in Esteem, as it is a powerful car - the power loss may not be 'felt' much.  You will have to check which CNG kit/s are approved for your car - the approval/permission is car/model-specific.
