Modified On Oct 18, 2016 03:42 PM By Khan Mohd.

The success of any new car depends upon several aspects like exterior styling, mileage, interior space and design, comfort and convenience features, price, cost of ownership and its resale value. That last aspect is a real deal maker if you are a constant car hopper, and even if you are not! At the end of the day, everybody loves that extra cash, which will be eventually helping you in buying your next four-wheeler.  

We have excerpted data* from the CarDekho Used Car division with details taken into account from April to September 2016. Based up on the analysis of 1.25 lakh car listings and more than 31 lakh consumer visits on these links, we have compiled a list of top 10 used cars which people are searching online and it also gives us a snippet of the overall used car buying trend in the country as we are the No. 1 automotive website in India. Keep scrolling to know more:

10) BMW 3 Series

BMW 3 Series

Surprise! Nobody would have thought that a BMW will ever make its way into the ‘top 10 most preferred used cars’ in India, but yes, it has and it’s none other than the 3 Series. The BMW 3 Series, which is the largest selling car from the German automaker globally, is equally loved in the second-hand market. The conversion rate of the viewer into a buyer was, however, close to 5 percent but what was interesting to see is that people did search in good numbers for a model in this price range.

The second last spot belongs to the Hyundai Verna. Once its second generation model came, the Korean sedan was all over the country, and the then surging demands of diesel powered cars also fuelled its sales. Just like its popularity in the new car market, the Verna seems to be a safe bet even in its second innings.

8) Toyota Innova

Undoubtedly, if there’s one car that you can bet on with respect to aftersales value, it’s indeed the Toyota Innova. Its worth in the second hand market can be gauged by the fact that a 2006-07 model still calls for a good Rs 5-6 lakhs. Reliability, durability, comfort and performance have been the solid pillars of the Innova badge, which makes it a clear winner in both the used and new car market.

The homegrown automaker’s utility vehicles are adored even in their second ‘afresh’ start.

The major chunk of its sales come from buyers looking for sturdy vehicles for their off-road rides. Certainly, this scorpion has stung deep in the preowned territory.
