White looks good in Vento.Once again congrats for buying another Vento.I think you are the first one to buy another Vento in this segment.
Updates-They still didn't receive the parts and will be getting the car after 3 weeks.Still in the mind whether we should exchange with new one or sell it to them or buy Creta replacing Vento or retain this or buy Creta or hatch.Confused with the options.And,interest on Creta is growing daily on us.So,we may book Creta as second car or replace Vento with Creta.

Update-They received the parts and they are getting fitted in the car and may get the car by Thursday.Im in two minds whether sell this or buy another Vento or retain this and buy a second car i.e Innova or Creta or Tata Zest.If we buy another one like Innova or Creta,we may exchange this Vento and buy another Vento TDI MT or TSI or Polo GT TSI(I still love this hot hatch).
Dude, you are confusing whole forum. Actually what are your requirements?
Wanted a mpv or compact suv or a sedan?
Our opinion is sell it. As it meet with accident it won't be as a new car. You'll get problems when selling car after a year. If you are planning to keep this vento for 5+ years then no problem.

Will get to know after the car comes from A.S.S and will be travelling to TN day after tomorrow and will be back by 16th night in my dad's friend's Innova.My heart says to buy new Vento whereas my head says to retain the present one and buy something like SUV,MPV.

Our Vento is ready to roar the roads and we got the bill of about ₹1.3L in which we have to pay ₹68000 whereas insurance people will pay the rest amount.
Congratulations, please post pics :)

Got the car back!
Just got the car back after a month.Total bill we paid is ₹66922.But,the sad part is they have offered ₹5.5L,which my father felt too low under exchange.Will try for exchange at other VW dealers or else will go for Honda.Though I'm not super excited about this car as this car had met with accident.
Please pardon with the pic quality as I have taken with my iPhone 6.

Re: Got the car back!
Happy to see the car back on road![[clap]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Clap.gif "Clap [clap]")
5.5L is a good price I believe. Try getting in touch with other dealer's so as to know the market value![[:)]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Smile.gif "Smile [:)]")

Re: Got the car back!
Thanks bro.But,instead of exchanging or selling,have decided to retain the car and buy another one like used Innova or an hatch like Figo 1.5 AT DCT which had tempted me much.But,due to some reasons,first planning to buy a two wheeler i.e scooter for myself soon.But,our second car would be an AT car or an Innova.

81000 Kms completed!!
Update-Car has completed 81000 Kms today.Reading as of today is 81011 Kms.1000 Kms after repair and still feels good.But,what's worrying me is the recent VW Diesel emission scandal.I got to know that my engine(1.6 TDI) comes under EA189.Hope ours didn't get affected.
What I'm missing in this car is Bluetooth connectivity which I enjoyed using it in Honda City and Innova.Maybe after another 10,000 Kms,we may sell this car as its resale gets affected.Will go for used BMW by an year or two if our finances work or else will go for Jetta or Octavia or another Vento but this time we may go for TSI+DSG as our running may become less in few years.But,the resale we got is too less and we were unhappy with this ₹5.5L quote.We could have been happier if we got atleast ₹6-6.5L.

Re: 81000 Kms completed!!
Hi bro, sorry to say your vento engine is affected. EA189 1.6 TDI & 2.0 TDI Likely to be recalled. New EA288 1.6TDI & 1.5TDI is not affected. A used Bmw will be huge to maintain. If the car has BSI then no problem.
if BSI Expires you'll get minimum 100k bill for year(one service). That is the reason Bmw owners will sell it after Bsi plan expires.
