Advice on User Car Buying & select dealer

Hello Members,

I'm novice to buying used car. I would like to have a sincereadvice on -

1) Which car to select for a budget upto 2, 75, 000? Will Santro Xing(with AC) be available under this budget?

2) Which dealer to select from - True Value, First Choice, Car Wale, Indicar, etc.

3) DOs while taking first look at used car.

4) Is there a possibility that with launch of 1L cars around October'08, the car prices are going to slash down? If yes, any predictin by what%?

I am about to take a look at Santro XP(2004) - 35000 KM, 2, 35000. Car is registered in Mumbai.

> Other than checking AC, Odo meter, Pedals, Seats, Dents.What are the other things one needs to keep in mind?

> FirstChoice is having its show on used cars going around. Any comments about that?

Thanks in anticipation.
