If your car is maintained exceptionally well and you are able to find a genuine buyer yourself, 1.25 lac should be your best expectation. I would suggest you keep 1 lac as a realistic expectation. Used car dealers won't offer anything more than 60-70k, if not lesser.

Regrading your replacement options, the i10 is mechanically same as a Santro, except if you plan to get the 1.2 Kappa engined versions. Similarly, I don't see the logic in replacing a Santro with a used WagonR either. You should be looking to upgrade to the Swift/Figo/Polo segment, don't you think. But with a 1+2=3 lac budget, you'll have to compromise heavily - either go for a really old or high mileage car!

Better option would be to hold onto your Santro for another 2-3 years, improve your budget for the next car and then go for a new B2 segment hatch, especially since you tend to keep your car for long periods.

Do take a look at our Repair vs Replace thread, and ask yourself whether you really 'need' to replace your Santro. Hope this helps!

I agree Geo that the car is not exactly gonna fly off the shelf. But then I am in no hurry. Also I am not necc. looking for an upgrade.

One of the things which is prompting for the change is to get a odd numbered car as both my current cars (Santro & i10) are even numbered.

I do not want to hold onto that car as 2-3 years down the line the car would be 13 years old and I may not find any buyer at all for it.

On a related note, how much should a Aug 2012 WagonR LXi be costing from a private seller in Delhi? Mileage is ~20k

The price should be in 3s especially when it is a base model.

I think the car in question is a Brio for which EMT is the base model. You might be correct about the price though.

Or see if this offset by new tires / battery / any aftermarket accessories that you may have to install after a purchase etc.
