We exchanged it for a top-end Toyota Taisor with a 6-speed AT
BHPian Samurai recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
Well, we finally bid farewell to our i10 that loyally served us for 14 years and 3 months, the odometer had just 45,000 km on it. We exchanged it for a top-end Toyota Taisor with a 6-speed AT. We got a good price (1.9L) since everything was working fine. Since we had never changed any body panel, and always stuck with dent fixing instead, the dealership treated it like a zero-accident vehicle. And it helped that the manufacturing month was January 2011, and not Dec 2010. We would have lost quite a bundle if it were an older year.
This car gave us very reliable service, except for one initial ECU failure within two months of purchase. Any other hiccups it had never really stranded us at any time. It was a very short-distance usage car, mostly driven within 2kms of the house, and only did 2-3 trips between Udupi and Bangalore.
The final farewell, the dealership driver took it away:
The car was handed over to the dealership on May 29th, and the RC transfer happened today on July 9th. It was showing NOC issued on the mParivahan app for nearly 4 weeks. I guess the record had to move from Udupi RTO to Bangalore RTO. I had also sold the GV in May to a Udupi buyer, where the RC transfer happened in just 20 days.
The biggest headache in selling the vehicle in India is the RC transfer. If you sell it to some unscrupulous buyer, they could skip the RC transfer, and you will be liable for accident that happens in your absence. Thankfully, RCs of both cars I sold in May have now transferred.
