Used Hyundai i20 cars in Jaipur

If we talk about the used car market today, it has come a long way since the late 90s when it was totally unorganised. If a person wanted to buy a used car then all he could do was ask in his circle of influence compromising on many fronts. Back then, nearly 60 percent of the deals happened in C2C (customer to customer) mode. The other 40% was through the unorganised players where the deals were just based on faith and trust with no real guarantee whatsoever.

Maruti was the first player that was in the forefront of establishing the organised market in the used car segment in 2001 with its Maruti True Value. Today after 17 years, the sector is well organised and people find value for money in going for a second-hand car. It not only saves them money, but due to the presence of factory certified pre-owned cars the reliability factor is also there. Almost all the players list the second-hand cars they have on their websites and the customer can conveniently choose the one the matches his or her requirements.

A major difference between buying a pre-owned and a certified pre-owned car is that in the former you buy based on what a seller is telling you. You just rely on his words, your own limited expertise and the words of the mechanic you brought along to inspect the vehicle.

In the case of the certified pre-owned car, the vehicle has to pass the checklist of some 150-200 points. Only then, it is deemed fit for resale by the dealer in agreement with the manufacturer.

As these cars are offered by the car companies, they also offer warranties on these certified pre-owned cars that range between 12-24 months, which is a big relief in case something goes wrong. Thus, apart from saving money you also get the peace of mind.
