THE FABIA CLUB

Hi Guys,

My friend is getting two different deals on Fabia from two different dealers in Delhi.

1. Black Apr'2008 Elegance - 44000kms run at Rs. 4,25,000/-.
2. Silver Mar'2008 Ambiente - 23000kms run at Rs. 3,50,000/-.

a) What do you suggest pricewise looks better at inititial stage ? How to take discussion on discounts further ?
b) What all needs to be checked during the inspection of these two cars ? VERY IMPORTANT
c) From where he can get a copy of service details of these cars (if owner says he does not have or lost somewhere) ?

Thanks

Do you have any other details?

Are the cars single owner-driver?

What is the condition of the tyres?

Has the dealer provided you with the service log of the cars?

Please make a judgement based on these parameters.

Other important ones are: accidental repairs must not have been done to the car/s, paint condition, engine leakages, battery condition, interior condition, specially the mats/carpet.

I should have elaborated it firsthand.

In Delhi, one can't avoid scratches, dings and dents. I too have them on both my cars.

By accidental repairs, I meant to say that the car/s must not have been involved in any accident that might have caused some structural/integral issues with the car.

For the rusting issues, I suppose with Skoda's quality, and age of car, with no major rains during these three years (2008 to 2011) (practically three rainy seasons) don't bring rusting to the fore. So, a non-issue for me. Nevertheless, a thing to look for, although I would like to add that the overall condition of the car would speak for itself.
