Used car buying/selling stories

[pwuser153796752163]

That's too much money for a pre-facelift manual 1.3 Corolla with bodywork done. The owner is high on something. You can find a decent car in KHI for high 20s/low 30s.

[afrasyab982]

Yes, you are absoluetly right. And in LHR and ISB u will get it 39-43( having some touchups)

[afrasyab982]

Yes the money is huge, but that is because people are asking alot for corollas. Till now in 3.7 i did not saw any well maintained gli 17 car. There are some they have written showered for fresh look but we know what that car is. Found one very good car in gli 17, first owner car but his dead final was 40.5. And i think at some instance they are right, i hae seen tons of videos people asking 34 for 2014 gli(old shape). 33-32 for 2013 shape( the have some minor touchings). But I think total genuine paint matters for dealers. For us if the pillars, diggy, binut and roof are genuine and car is non accidental then you are on the safe side. If you buy this type of car, and you want to sell it in amonth you will hardly loose 2 lakhs. But if u buy full showrred car, having rust like mine gli 09 then u will pray yallah bas nikal jaye. Koi khareed lay. Ussay koi dealer bhi nahe khareed raha tha. Dealer offered me 13 for 09 gli.

Is it fine that the owner has showered the doors with some poten not heavy?

If resale is a major concern, stick to original paint, isb number, white colour. Most of these are quite expensive

Bro walk away from this car. @afrasyab982

It has paint all around, only tolerate touch ups on few panels (and no panel fully repainted).

When paying this much, aim for either full genuine or paint on max 2 points (some area, not 100% of the panel!).

Also in other thread I suggested you go for 1.8 CVT. That is a much better car than any manual GLI.

Also manual glis are often driven as taxis or by drivers .. families rarely use manual cars these days.

[pwuser153796752163]

How many kms is it driven? If less than 70K, It's either tempered mileage or something else. There is no way a Corolla would need the sides painted at such low miles. This is coming from someone who has owned all original low mileage Corollas in a city like KHI. No rust, no repaint, just minor paint errors here and there.

Also bhai, polygate or paint fillers are a must when repainting a panel. Bagher polygate ke gora bhi nahi paint karta.

Edit: I can tell just by looking at the pictures gari both rear quarters se bani hui hai, left se zyada. See the door gap.

[afrasyab982]

The Inpector which inspected this car is Mohsin, he has already on other car for me. To my knowledge, he is good in inspection. The car pillars are genuine, and rear doors are sprayed. It could mean it got sprayed due to heavy scracthes, or minor impact on the door. The reason i am saying this is that if the impact was hard the seal of the door would have damaged but that is fine. And maybe the pillars will have some paint.

But the thing which makes me suspicicious is the touching the rear side fenders( in golaiii).

And please if you can tell me what do mean by bani hui in the quarter in simple words?

Mileage is 103k, but I am sure that 2017 corollas will have a minimum mileage of 200k. 99% are meter reversed. In current condition if i have to buy it what price would be good? And most importantly what are suspicious things in this car? I dont want to go in depression for the third time because I already got scammed in my first two cars but those two cars are no way near to this corolla. Because those two were fully showered.

Can an accidental car be repaired still having genuine paint on the pillars, diggi, chat and pillars and seal by seal. Its a question please answer it. Actually i overthink everything.

I have left the deal but my brother is forcing me that accirding to his online search this is the best car. He is saying that no gli 17 in this price will get this much good rating. So i am stuck. And at some point he is right too. In ISB genuine 17 glis having minor touching are 40-42.

Polygate denting l liye use hota hai repaint k liye nahi

[pwuser153796752163]

I'm going only by the pictures, an inspector would be properly trained in identifying faults. By the rear quarter I mean the rear fender ki golai.

[afrasyab982]

Yes, the owner has mentioned that. Inspector are trained but sometime people offers them Chai pani. So i dont trust them much, unless i physically inspect car.

[dayrider]

Walk away from this car. Dona khalko darta oway che kalar sha, bya hum na kalaraygay

[pwuser159776704817]

If you are suspicious about it, than dont go for it and check out another for your piece of mind

[afrasyab982]

I am out of deal. Today saw another first owner car in LHR. Seller mentioned that only one fender sprayed. I called him and forced him and told him that dont waste my money on inspection tell the whole truth. And he said the diggi has touching. I told him to send pics of digi and upon looking at diggi in oics it had rust in the seals. So i told him the seals are made, he denied that. But if the seals are not made still rust have affected those so i walked away of that too. It will be a miracle for me to get a clean car.

I have searched tons of cars. @Xulfiqar once told me find your fish from the pond. Sir Its not a pond its an ocean where getting a clean fish is very very hard.

Rust on the seal,
Probably broken which caused it to rust,

[afrasyab982]

is this seal genuine? I am not an expert but i think steel poten is applied. Is my assmption correct?. Accordi g to owner it is genuine

It looks like shit

[afrasyab982]

My focused shifed from vitz 2017 to Gli 2017, then Gli 2015b2b. Now I have moved towards rebirth 2015 Ug. City Aspire is also a choice. Everything is unpredictible, dont know what i will be going to buy. Sometime, i become near to buying a Gli, the next moment i move towards rebirth.

What are your thoughts on Rebirth Ug? As always I am confused. People asking alot for Glis and that forced me to go with rebirth. If i get clean reirth in 39 then still it will have many more features than Gli. I think rebirth ckearly wins against any gli. But what saddens me is its fuel average. If it gives me 10-12 in city and 15 in long then i will be happy to keeep rebirth. Plz need ur compliment.

gives me 10-12 in city and 15 in long then i will be happy to keeep rebirth. Plz need ur compliment.

I think you can find a clean city in your budget or the probability to find clean city will be higher , more than features finding a cleaner well maintained ride would be my priority.
