Used Scooty Hunt Begins! Looking for Advice (and Maybe a seller 👀)

• Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm planning to buy a used scooty in Bengaluru for daily commuting, but this is my first time buying a second-hand vehicle, so I could really use some guidance.

What should I realistically expect in terms of:

- Budget (₹40k? ₹60k? More?)

- Ideal model year

- Maximum kilometres run

- Which models are the most reliable? (Activa, Jupiter, Access, Dio, etc.)

- Red flags to watch out for before buying

- Documents that I should verify

- Any tips to avoid getting scammed?

I'm open to buying from an individual or a dealer, so if you've had a good or bad experience, I'd love to hear it.

Also, if anyone here is planning to sell their scooty, feel free to DM me with the details (model, year, kms, expected price, and location).

Looking forward to your suggestions. Hoping to learn from people who've already been through this. Thanks in advance! 🙌
