Thanks for the advice Poisson. I did some further research. I have found a car which has done 72,000 KM and 2009 Sport Luxury GGL15R. Its a dealer car with standard features. It has a nudge bar which I dont know is an option feature or standard. The dealer is offering me 3 years or 150,000 KM warrently for $2500 and he also said that if I buy private car I can buy extended warrrenty from dealership. Is that true that if you buy privately then you can buy extended warrenty?
He has offering it for $47,600 and says the price is final. I have searched similar car and found the price is in the same range as for other cars if the car has more km's say 80k or 85 km then the price comes down $1500-$3000k and if the km are in the range of 50k-60K price goes up to $49-51K.
I wanted to take your opinion for following thing
1. Is the price ok in your opinion?
2. Dealer is giving road worthy certificate. Do I need to look for anything in particular?
3. Can i negotiate the price for extended warrenty?
4. There was some rust on the brakes and the dealer said its normal as the car has been sitting there for some time. Is that normal?
5. Car service is done regularly for 12 month, 24, 36 and 48th month. But after the 48 month service which was done on 16.5.2012 no service has been done. Dealer has offered to do the 60 motnh service for free. As you mentioned the break pad gets weared out around 70km mark. Should I ask them to check the break pad etc and change them for me or is it too much to ask? I am really bad in negotiation !!
6. The Sat map version is VerR19_V8. Is this the latest or should I ask him for it? He said there might be a new map version coming in Feb next year !!
7. For the scanner thing, should I ask them or they would have already done it in the road worthy certificate?
8. I want to have a bit stylish alloy wheels but the dealer said they dont have it and they do not do it. If I want to then I have to do it outside with any private shop. Is that the way it works?
9. I want to have side bar in the car as it would be helpful for my mum as she has knee problem. Is there any side effect to have it? Also, should I get it done from dealership or outside?
9. Any other thing I need to ask or check, please let me know....
I really appreciate your reply. As you can imagine buying a new car for a novice like me can be a daunting task :):)
Cheers,
Aman
