I think your friend is perfectly justified in demanding 18 Lac for a 2008 xli, I mean who needs a lousy BRAND NEW CAR for 14 lac when you can get a 'low mileage' 2008 for 18 lac.
Similarly, the OP is asking a fair price of 10 lac for 9 year old car xli....yeah yeah you can find a 2005 GLI in 10 lac or may be a 2004 VTI prosmatic in that range but you have to ask yoruself, do you realy need those power windows and locks? And ABS is for sissies..... If I have to spend 1 million rupees, I will buy a 9 year old XLI with low mileage rather than buying 4 year younger GLI. Its an XLI for crying out loud...
