got a used aveo 1.4 mar 2007 for 4lac . pls comment

Hi all,

i am joining you all as a prod owner of Chevvy Aveo. This is my first car as i ve just graduated and my first big expense. i was to buy a new car only and was stuck on Accent.

Just by chance one day i was a bit free and right next to my office was this chevvy showroom, i went there just to have a look, and not a serious customer. but the moment i opened the door of Aveo and had a look at it, i made up my mind. UVA even Optra and captiva looked pale in comparison to the looks of Aveo.

I cant even think about accent since i ve seen this damsel. thereafter i asked the guys in showroom, that i ll get bak to them in a day (next day bieng sunday) as i cudnt buy th car bieng saturday and some superstitions.

by the time i cud have got back to them, i got an offer for 2007 model 1.4, the speedo dial is a bit dated in that but i thought i got a good deal as the car was very clean and looking like new, even though it was not in dispay, it was bieng used by the owner. the car had alloy wheels, a fairly good blaupunkt audio system and was fairly priced at 4,25,000

i haggled and finally got it for 3,85,000 but have to get it insured which ll cost another 15k and brokerage of 12 k and transfer of papers and all for 7-8 k. so finally the car is costing me 4,20,00 mar 2007 model. (writing review in feb 2009).

so few questions :

1. Did i make a good deal ?

2. is the resale value of this car very low, can i sell it off after an year with max 75000 depreciation.

3. is the deficiency in engine performane and gearshift really noticeable, ( i dint experience ). though i was driving a santro before this so it obviously is a superior car.

4. how far is CNG as a fuel succesful in this car ( This bieng a motive of buying a used machiene so that i dont feel guilty of losing warranty and all, as i ll have to run it on CNG someday as i have a daily running of 200km)

5. what all precautions do i take before making the final payment, the car is registerd in Haryana and i need it to be transfered to UP bieng my residence.

 

P.S.  I have been searching and researching a lot about this car for several hours each day, and found out that this is a dark horse and an example of poorly marketted good product.
