    On performance and value for money which one will you choose 2018 -1.6 MPI petrol automatic model or 2017 1.5 Tdi manual engine .

    • @TractionControl
      @TractionControl  Рік тому +4

      Here I would personally go for the 1.5 TDI manual, it's a great engine but a little noisy.
      1.6 MPI on the other hand sounds sporty! But it's fuel efficiency is poor (the only positive here would be that you can get ECU remapped for much better Performance since the engine is very capable)
      So Performance + VFM = 1.5 TDI

    Hello, I currently stay in pune and mostly looking for a fun to drive vehicle, average is not a concern(but it should still be manageable). My budget is max 7lakhs. I shorlisted skoda rapid petrol manual 1.6 Mpi 2017 single owner, 81000 km driven on spinny platform . Overall condition is good, drive is great. Its just the tyre that would need to changed as they are worn out. They are qouting are quoting 6.82l. Shall I go ahead with this decision. Please suggest.

    • @TractionControl
      @TractionControl  2 місяці тому

      At 6.82 it sounds pretty expense. I'm assuming it's the Style variant. Considering it's close to 7 years old with 81K on odo around 6 lakhs would be a great price.
      I understand your budget is limited to 7 lakhs, but I would suggest that if you have only Rapid in mind then look for the 1.0 TSI Rapid Rider. You'll find them in the range of 7-8 Lakhs.
      The other option I would suggest for a fun to drive vehicle would be the Tiago JTP, you'll be able to find used ones in under 5 lakhs.

    Hi brother
    Skoda rapid ambition auto transmission 2015 model 100 km diesel car
    Asking price is 4.96 L should i take it ? What is your suggestion

    • @TractionControl
      @TractionControl  10 місяців тому +2

      It's an 8 year old car, beware of parts replacement cost. The car maybe in perfect condition from the looks of it but do get it checked out at a Skoda Service Center. If the dealer denies you the option to get it checked at authorized service center, then you'll know for sure that there is something wrong with the car.
      Asking price around 4 would be a good deal, current asking price is too high. Be confident with the dealer that Skoda doesn't have that good of a resale value as the parts cost is too high.
      So, my humble opinion would be
      - Buy it if you love to drive + can get it at 4 + no problems identified at Skoda SC
      - Otherwise let it go, you'll find a better deal 😉

    • @TractionControl
      @TractionControl  6 місяців тому +2

      1.6 MPI is a fuel guzzling engine and is not particularly fast unless you plan to remap the ECU, but it does make the right noises😀
      3.2L is a good price but the car is quite old, there could be issues which the dealer may be trying to hide. Beware that Skoda Parts are expensive and parts replacement (like gearbox or suspension) could burn a hole in your pocket
      Considering the age of the car, I'd let this one go, but if you're really interested in it get it evaluated at a Skoda Service Centre, they will charge a nominal fee to check for damaged parts and odometer tampering and they will assure you if the car is accidental or not. Sometimes people repair total loss cars and sell them for a very low price.

      Rapid is not AMT, it's DSG. I highly doubt that a 2017 car has just run 20K, the odometer must have been tampered with. Get the car checked at an authorised Skoda service center. 6.8L price is too high for a 7 year old Rapid. Anywhere around 5.5 or maybe 6 if the car is in great condition, would be a good price.

    Urgent reply bro Plese. Rapid diesel 2018 model 120000 driven bro priced at 4.3 lakh. Take it or not bro .

    • @TractionControl
      @TractionControl  10 днів тому

      1,20,000 km is quite high for a 2018 model, indicating extensive use. High mileage often correlates with more wear and tear on critical components such as the engine, transmission, and suspension.
      As diesel engines age, they can incur higher maintenance costs, especially for parts like the turbocharger, fuel injectors, and the particulate filter.
      High-mileage cars tend to have lower resale value. If you plan to sell the car in a few years, you might not get a good return.
      4.3 lakhs for a 2018 model can be considered a reasonable price if the car is in good condition. However, the high mileage should typically warrant a lower price.
      Anywhere around 3.5-3.8 would be an Excellent price.
      If the car is mechanically sound, with a full and transparent service history, and you anticipate moderate use, it could be a good buy. However, given the high mileage (1,20,000 km) you should be prepared for potential maintenance costs.
      Have the car thoroughly inspected by authorisedSkodaservicecenter. Pay special attention to the engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, and electronics.
      Service Records (MOST IMPORTANT) Verify the service history to ensure regular maintenance was performed. Look for any major repairs or recurring issues.
      Take the car for an extended test drive to identify any immediate issues or concerns. Listen for unusual noises and check for smooth operation.
      Don't forget to consider the total cost of ownership, including insurance, maintenance, and potential repairs. Factor these into your budget to ensure the car is affordable in the long term.
      If all checks come back positive and the price is negotiable, the 2018 Rapid Diesel 1.5 TDI at Rs. 4.3 lakhs could be a worthwhile investment.

      12.5 seems to be somewhat on the higher side as the car is 8 years old, but if it is in great condition then it could be a good purchase! Do not expect good fuel economy from the 1.8L. Do ask for Extended warranty from Spinny covering the gearbox, steering, engine mounts and electrical if possible.

      There is a good chance that the car is problematic and would spend a lot of time at the service center.
      Also this must be the 1.6 Diesel, you can negotiate a better price for Diesel.
      It's not that the parts would go wrong again and again but the SC takes quite some time to arrange those parts for you (if anything goes wrong) and the car ends up sitting at the SC for days!

      Get the car checked at authorized Skoda Service Center for any issues / defects and make your choice accordingly 😀
