Should I buy a used XUV700?
Hi everyone, I was recently browsing through the available used cars on olx and found 2 dealers that have 2 "decent" XUV700's for sale. Kind of confused whether it is a good idea to consider them and would like to know your thoughts on this.
Some context, I was looking to buy a brand new XUV700 (AWD AX7L AT) but decided to check the used car market and saw 2 good ones (~50% savings) so considering to check them out.
- 2022 AWD AX7L Diesel AT
This has run ~40k kms and looks to be in good condition. Funny enough, this is the exact spec that I was thinking of buying the new one (silver AWD AX7L AT) and I am really tempted to check it out. The asking price is 17.5lakhs though it's negotiable.
- 2022 AX7L Petrol AT
This has run 22k kms and looks to be in even better condition than the above one. I am okay it being a petrol. The only reason I was going to go with the Diesel (if I buy a new one) was AWD. I am actually more inclined towards the petrol. Asking price is 16.5lakhs and it's also negotiable. Given that the price is quite good, I am willing to overlook the fact that this would be a FWD.
I am planning to check these 2 out tomorrow and if things go well will probably also get it checked by a mechanic (open to suggestions, I am in Guwahati).
Let me know what you guys think and any potential things that I should be in the lookout for. I have already spent some time to go through the team bhp guide on checking an used car and I feel like I am fairly confident on checking them out.
Also, for both the cars, I asked what is the reason for selling. The 1st one said they don't know (they are a dealer) and the second one said that the owner bought a 4x4 scorpio n (which sounds very reasonable).
