Grand Vitara ..how good is it?

sunith · 18th April 2006, 14:52

Someone offered me a grand vitara 2005 for only 7 lac. I am as stunned as anyone else here but it is true. Now the car is in delhi and there s no way in which i can go there until about 25th of may. Can someone in Delhi chec it for me please.

I have heard loads of people in Delhi call the car Grand 'Khatara'. And the people I know there who have the car are highly dissatisfied with it. I don't know the reasons for this though. Moreover, I haven't really come across any reviews/views on the car on this forum either.

Godspeed.

Alok.

nobody has ever told me anything negative about the car except its fuel efficiency.. what i wanna know is is it a good buy considering its coming for 7l?

for 7 laks i would not bother wasting time not getting the car. its a great car for sure provided u are looking for that kind of a car and dont really care about FE. but for 2005 a 16 lak car for half the price aint bad for sure.

revharder · 18th April 2006, 17:52

but then did you bothered to ask the seller that why he is selling the car so cheap?
ask him to get it evaluated at any Maruti True Value showrooms or at Automartindia showroom.
then see the difference!

sunith · 18th April 2006, 18:43

i dint wanna ask him that cos i figured that would make him rethin the price

anyways... i ll call him tomm and find out...is there any tbhpian from delhi who can be ind enough to check it out for me ???

6 lakhs sounds amazing value for 2005 16 lakh car.......

But it needs to be followed up and completley checked, because this sounds a little too good value.

Common complaints with the Vitara:

1. Bad FE
2. Terrible ride quality
3. Soft SUV looks
4. Exhorbitantly priced spare parts.

Butttttttttttt if the car is clean....then the price makes it a steal!

Please let me know the condition of the car once you see it.....

Incase you pass it, i will be interested in buying it..

Willing to accept all the bad points (GTOs post) if I get it at 7L.

sunith · 22nd April 2006, 17:46

bad luck! ... by the time i called someone has already bought it i believe. it went for 5.6 finally. The owner apparently is in some desperate need for some money...hence the low price. wonder why he dint go to true value in that case?

I think the Grand Vitira is a great vehicle and only suffers from a serious drinking problem. I took it for a really long test drive (off-roading and all) and it gave an average of 5kmpl.

yesterday i had a chance to look at vitara the body seemed 2 b of low quality metal. just standing against the car makes the sheet give the sound of click click. rest of the things i cant comment on since i did not take a test ride.
