    Saving 12 lacs on a second hand 300d costing ₹1.03cr on road doesn’t seem to be that great of a deal.. it should have been bargained for more if savings is of that importance and considering it’s 300d and not 400d.. huge difference!

      i second this too, a single owner registration should take an easy 20% off on the price of such a car. The fact that it was 200kms driven makes little difference vis a vis a sub 10k kms car. 12.7% is fairly less. Such prices are generally offered for zero owner cars.

    Had a similar experience from 2012. Not a premium car though. I went to book the then newly launched Dzire Diesel from a Maruti Showroom in Trivandrum. The car was in short supply and was in very high demand. But to my luck, just when i was at the showroom a new Dzire was about to be delivered and the customer was making a huge rukus about why he was not told that SX4 had a diesel earlier and he refused to takes delivery of his Dzire. Dealer told him that he would loose a lakh if he chooses not to take the car.
    After a bit of discussion I stepped in and made an offer to the gentleman for a 75k discount on the cars price to which he gladly agreed. And I drove away happily with the car and 75k in my pocket.
    Which was a great deal !

    One thing on demo cars, while you will be 1st owner on paper, do understand that these are test drive cars and they’ve been driven hard by multiple drivers (& staff) without proper run in time and maintenance (dealers usually don’t put as much care). While German cars are meant to be driven spiritedly, they aren’t meant to be run recklessly on bad roads

      The car mall in Delhi is the one of the most reliable ones. I have bought 3 cars from them and few of my friends and family also bought from them. What I liked was that the cars were really less driven. Like under 15K. I would always prefer a less driven German than a cheaper one with more kilometres on the ODO. Have been to other dealers as well but wasn’t very confidence inspiring.

    One can argue making a choice between a GLE 400d vs GLE 300d. The 400d is more value on many counts. 300d is just a tag of an SUV you want in your garage. I own 400d and I can ascertain. However, the poor plastics fittings in the car rattle all over. Mercedes Benz is Maruti of Luxury cars. You get good resale value and good service, but don’t expect the quality of a 1 cr luxury car. Sad reality no one will tell you.

    b) are okay with brands which have lesser resale like Škoda, VW, Jeep, Audi, Ford etc
    c) can give it 6-8months to get the deal which sounds too good to be true

    About out of state cars
    You need to visit the place once every year
    Thats the case in Maharashtra now most of the luxury cars are MH registerd as owners want to avoid that hassle as police here are a little strict
    Also MH cars are preferred in NCR region as the cost of fancy numbers in Maharashtra is fixed and there is no auction.
    There is another thing in Maharashtra where Mumbai area registerd cars are not preferred due to rusting issues. So you will se many MH12/MH14 (Pune registerd) luxury cars in Mumbai region.

    • @pranayk37
      @pranayk37  2 месяца назад

      Thanks for your comment. How much would you pay for it?
      The way I look at it is if you plan to run this car for its entire life of 10 years, third hand or second hand doesn't make much of a difference when you sell it.
      Getting a 13% discount on a new car is quite rare and brings down the cost of ownership significantly.

    • @santydagr8
      @santydagr8 2 месяца назад

      @@pranayk37 I have a bit of a different view here. If I am paying in cash, I might still consider this deal and most probably will reject it after consideration. But if I am getting it financed then a 10-12% cut in my monthly emi is not exciting, for eg if I am earning a 7 lacs/month then EMIs of 1.25lacs/month and 1.37 lacs/month are not far apart that they justify the compromise of the joy of choosing the colour & other customisations, leave aside the significant drop in resale value of a car with a second hand tag.
      Secondly, people who play in that kind of money are not looking to save rather they want the best. So a 13% off on a 20lac car with some compromise can be exciting but it’s not the same for a guy who’s buying a car for 1-2 crores.
      Since it’s a super luxurious segment people who are convinced to spend that usually have much a higher proportion of incomes. For example, people will go buy a budget car with a 60k/month salary but people who go for cars priced in crores do have a much higher proportional income to their purchase, thus making this offer not very lucrative.
      If I was him, I would know that it’s going to be extremely difficult for the dealer to sell this car with a second hand tag at such a high price & his anxiety with the car standing there will go up every day, I would have even tried to speak to the owner and understand their mindset to decide my next move and I would have got this deal only if I would have got at least a 20% off.

      On a separate note - I wouldn’t recommend buying a second hand car on emi because the loan comes at 13-15% which is crazy. And almost always offsets any benefits that you might receive from the depreciation of the car

      Sure, if you're confident of generating more than 13-15% returns on your investments, go for a loan. Personally I'm a little more conservative when it comes to assuming returns and hence I won't take a loan at that rate.
      If you have your own business that generates more than 15% return on equity - that's a different ball game altogether and a loan makes sense then
