How to buy a second-hand car in Mumbai?

Used cars or pre-owned cars are extremely affordable, available in good condition (even certified by reputed dealers) and have a lower rate of depreciation. These factors make buying used cars a viable idea and bring a four-wheeler further within the reach of the common man.

Banks and NBFCs even offer used car loan with competitive interest rates and quick processing time, making it easy to become a car owner.

If you want to buy a second hand car in Mumbai, here is how you can find the perfect car at the best price:

Friends, relatives and acquaintances

When looking for a used car, the first place to reach out to is people you know. You might know someone who probably is looking to sell his/her car. This brings in the trust factor, and you can be sure that you are getting the right value for money. You can even ask them to lend you the car for a couple of days to drive and use before being sure it is a good fit for you and your family.

Buy and sell Facebook groups

Another way to meet sellers directly and cut out the commission of middlemen is via Facebook groups. There are dedicated Facebook groups for buying used cars in Mumbai. You can look for posts advertising used cars for sale till you find something you like. The advantage of such groups is that you can see actual pictures of a car, interact with the seller directly, negotiate the best price and fix a meeting to check out the car before buying it.

Used car portals

You can also check online portals that specialize in buying and selling used cars. There are C2C portals such as Quikr and OLX and B2C portals such as Cars24, CarDekho, Droom, Truebil, etc. B2C brands conduct their own checks and price cars accordingly.

Local garage and used car dealers

You can also rely on a mechanic you know in a local garage. Such professionals also happen to know people willing to sell their cars. A mechanic will be able to guide you properly and give you the complete lowdown on a used car that might be up for sale. 

You can also check with used car dealers. It is, however, recommended you visit a dealer with someone who knows cars well or a mechanic who can help you choose a good car. 

Authorized resellers

There are authorized resellers of reputed automobile brands such as Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Mahindra, etc. who buy and sell models of their own brand. If you are looking for a specific make and model or if you trust a particular brand, you can directly go to a reseller. There are many such resellers in Mumbai who can provide you with certified, good-condition cars.
