Buying a Used Honda City

Out of the many of questions that may pop up in your mind when you plan to purchase a car, the basic one is perhaps, whether you should buy a new car or used one. Buying a new car has many positive sides but getting a used or pre owned model also surely has its own set of positives like monetary benefit. With technology available today, the experience of getting a used car is entirely different from what it used to be earlier. Every bit of information that you may need to purchase a pre owned car, is all there on the Internet. Buying a used car is no longer a daunting thought which is why people prefer to buy pre owned cars to brand new cars nowadays. 

The Honda City has been there in the Indian car industry for over ten years now. It has been a smash hit ever since its release in India. The speciality of the Honda City is its spacious boot and trustworthy low maintenance engine along with its premium looks. This sedan has been a highly popular model among both new as well as used car purchasers in our country, making it one of the most preferred cars in India. The fourth generation of Honda City was launched back in 2014 and has reportedly sold about 1.5 lakh models in 20 months, while the company sold about 1 lakh units in only 15 months and sold another 50,000 units in other five months. Clearly, the Honda City has been one among the most preferred cars in the country.

In the sedan segment of cars, this beauty from the house of Japanese car makers Honda, has been the most popular till date. The Honda City has been in the Indian car market for over a decade now.

If you happen to come across a used Honda City one which is of the automatic variant for about INR two lakhs, you can simply go for that model of the used Honda City after getting it checked at a good Honda outlet in your town. This car is a real beauty much loved, praised and is a kind of benchmark now. It gives us the impression like being seated in a sports car. It is low and sleek and almost glides on the road. The beauty of the AT model of the City is that it is available at a lower rate than the manual model. 

This is probably because there is a strange misconception and fear about AT variants in India. Going for a new model of Honda City automatic, will costs a lot whereas the AT version of a used Honda City is available at a lower cost. The initial batch of these cars had a greater proportion of foreign parts in them before the process of local sourcing began.
