I just love this thread for various reasons.
For eg.
1)You get know names of almost all the car brands right from Abarth to Volvo, .like drop down menu of a car purchase app.
2)Almost all the posts by OP you read to see that car odo is showing different readings, 'more kms - more posts
3) Despite advices from almost all the participants to get rid of the car, the OP is holding her tightly close to the chest.
Mefeels, This car shouldn't be sold unless you are getting resale value similar to Marutis.
Reasons. :
1)Only grouse against the car of OP is maintainance cost. And still he is thinking of exchanging it with another Vento. So ASS cost issue is null and void because loss at resale value would be more than the future ASS cost. Whatever peace of mind is to be gained , due to exchange of this car with another Vento is going to last for few days only. as per day running is high & for that 'peace of mind' he will have to pay new RTO, tax, insurance, other taxes etc and that would be too much.
2)Also, the best time to sell the car was before the accident & before the VW emission scam was exposed, as both these factors have brought down the resale value considerably, on the top of these factors it's Jan 16, so theoretically, one more year is added in the car's age. And since the car is doing well after the accident repair, No one else(resale buyer) other than present owner (OP) is going to understand the meaning of the 'doing well ' factor.
3)Better to retain the car as long as possible, no harm in getting the car repainted to carbon grey or new brown of current Vento, it will, to some extent, pacify the itch of getting another Vento. This will also improve the resale value if at all it is sold after 2L km, Also, the paint work would be done meticulously & on time as it would be done by uncle. And by that time dust flowing on the resale value of the car due to emission scam would also settle down.
4)If car is retained, it won't be too much of pain for OP's dad as compared to new car, as it would be used as a learning & practice car for rest of the family, and getting minor dents & scratches during such practice are not uncommon.
5) And by the time, appropriate moment to sell the car comes, we will get more brand names to discuss such as. DC, jeep renegade, wrangler, JGC lab lab la...

. And it is a great decision to go for the Hyundai Creta, especially the 1.6 CRDI Model. I am also going for the Hyundai Creta 1.6 CRDI SX (O) MT.

and when the Volkswagen person came and gave the quote for the same Zen the told we can take it for 1,15,000/- I was pretty ok with that. And later i decided to post premium Ad in Cardekho.com for my Zen and surprising the car was sold within a week and for a better price that is 1,30,000/- so kindly go for a outside selling formula to get better price. (my suggestion) and also ask for a quote outside also.
