Re: Used bike below 30k buying advice

Not discouraging the TS here, but in 30K a well maintained 150cc is not possible, even 125cc will cost a bit more if they are maintained nicely.

You need to check on olx and quickr and while finalizing the bike/scooty go through the link which [MENTION=38603]The Monk[/MENTION] has provided.

Personally speaking you will need to extend the budget a bit more to get near 125cc and you need to have around 50k to go near premium 150cc.

Re: Used bike below 30k buying advice

At 30k you can only get a 100cc that too one which has run more than 25,000kms on the odo. Stick to Passion+ or Splendor if you want a 100cc. A decently maintained FZ which has run 40,000kms on the odo should cost you around 40-45k atleast. Plus FZ's mileage is around 35-40kmpl. Do consider that. The Apache you are talking about sounds OK in terms of pricing. But do remember that a bike with lesser kms on odo is less likely to ask for parts replacement. A bike run for 40,000 on odo might need a new battery. clutch plates, brake pads, new cables etc. Do factor that into your budget.

Re: Used bike below 30k buying advice

Whenever you are buying a new bike, add an additional 3-4K only for the bike. And add to that the cost of name transfer. Please clarify these things from the seller first to get a fair idea about what is going to be the actual cost of your bike.
An used FZ in good condition should cost around ~ 50K. As others have suggested already, you need to extend your budget to get a good condition 150cc. Look for a 110-125 cc bike instead. You'll be able to save a good amount of money on fuel as well.
