The used car market in India is steadily rising despite the auto industry slowdown. The carmakers were struggling to sell new units even before the lockdown, while used car companies were transacting pre-owned cars more than ever!
A recent study revealed that Indians will buy more used cars than new ones post the Coronavirus lockdown, due to the budget constraints caused by the economic slowdown as a result of the world’s longest ongoing lockdown.
In India, you could buy an entry-level hatchback like Maruti Ignis, Renault Triber, Tata Tiago and the Hyundai i10 Grand Nios under 5 Lakhs. In the same budget, one could also buy a well maintained, pristine condition used premium hatchback, a premium sedan, MPV, or an SUV.
Unlike the olden days, where a customer was not sure about the condition of the car or the vehicle history when purchasing a second-hand car; it could prove to be risky. Thanks to technology, today, all our used cars come with a 200 point inspection report which gives a detailed explanation of the car’s condition including interiors, exteriors, engine, transmission, tyre condition, and also helps us determine if major parts were replaced or if the car had met with an accident.
There are also added benefits when buying a used car from us which includes moneyback guarantee and warranty on specific car parts to help the customer cover the cost of maintenance and unseen repairs.
We’ve compiled a list of the best second-hand cars to buy under Rs 5 Lakh in India. Most of these are less than 5 years old and have been chosen based on reliability, cost of maintenance, passenger comfort, luxury, and brand value. So, here’s our list of the ten best used cars you can purchase under Rs5 Lakhs in India.
