Hi bhailog

I am planning to purchase an old car (Mahindra scorpio) for business purpose. I want it to run  in villege area for booking purpose (Marriage and small trip booking within district).
I am purchasing scorpio from a dealer in NCR. He has a 2009 model SUV car and he is saying it can’t be run in delhi NCR due to NCR traffic polity. So he is selling this SUV for Rs. 2.25 Lakh. I have few questions –

1) is it good deal to buy 2009 model?
2) is it worth the price?
3) is there any problem if it runs in villege area of Madhya pradesh?

Not aware much about vehicle policy. Thanks in advance if anybody willing to give suggestions

Honestly I know very little about petrol or diesel (Internal combustion engine AKA ICE ) car market. If you don’t have in-depth knowledge about cars take a experienced mechanic to check and evaluate the second hand car. And also factor in the COST of car parts you might need to change soon.

Here’s the article about new policy:

In next 5 years Electric vehicle ( EV) costs would decrease significantly. And the way petrol Diesel prices are jumping higher and higher EV should be your target in next 3-5 years.

You are going to purchase junk for 2.25L. 10yr policy is now implemented everywhere in India.. and now they are going to bring new rule to scrap vehicle like this one. In addition, you can not change ownership after vehicle registration expiry. Don’t take this #sardardi imo..

Scrap policy is 15 years for business and 20 years for personal vehicle i think?

I would also recommend you to check listings on OLX and other used car platform in Delhi NCR. You might get a better deal As the dealership would always want a good profit margin on every sale.

1) It’s always better to buy directly from owners rather than dealers. Dealers have expertise and experience of running a vehicle in perfect condition by jugaad. After few kilometres the vehicle will show it’s true condition.
2) Going by the price and the fact that it’s a Mahindra: There’s a high chance that it’s maintenance cost would be really really high.

So. Olx would be great choice right?…. Or any certified site like caedekho, droom and more?

Most aspects are covered. Here are a few more

  • Look for vehicles with in the same state. When you purchase from other state, you need to pay tax again in your home state (atleast as per rules),and this old vehicle may invite more trouble in re-registering at RTO
  • Also when it comes to used vehicles, try to take it from trusted contacts as much as possible. Or have a experienced technicians along side to verify the condition. You don’t want your customers to be stranded for maintenance/condition related issues.

In Delhi you will get plenty of vehicles, most have completed there engine life, meters are rolled back and greasing is done very common, can’t say about other state but don’t buy Delhi car from dealer (I live here so i know it).

give preference to your state even if the cost is little high, still if you want to buy one from outside state better go for small states,
