Well, I am writing for people who are planning to sell their vehicle by advertising on Cardekho website. Last month I had advertised my car for sale which I had sparingly used and in a brandnew condition. Being fair enough with depreciations and the overall maintenace, I had fixed a price wich was much better then other advertisers.
From day one, a person calls up from the website and irritates me to pay for premium listing. Since the first posting was for free, I preferred to go for it as I was new to cardekho and was not sure about the response. The person who calls up from cardekho asks me to lower the price of my car! Damn him! It is my wish to sell at my decision and finally negotiate with buyers!
Later going through his website, I found that they had created a car valuation section for buyers to know at what rate to buy. To be frank each state in india has demand for different brands and it need not be the same in every state. For e.g. Ford Cars are well purchased in Tamil Nadu but not in Kerala or Andhra. Resale value is also the same way. Cardekoh website has fixed prices and this leads interested buyers to quote rates for used vehicles according to the site. It is simple as cardekho digging the grave for the car owners who are planning to sell! Finally I removed my posting from the website and advertised in the local newspaper and got good value for my car. Kindly avoid this site incase of the above.l
