How to buy a second hand car? Without getting scammed?

Recently started at a new job in Noida. I am looking to do a to n fro trip from Noida to Lucknow at least twice a month (500km oneway) + 5 days a week to office within Noida. I have only driven dad's WagonR till now within Lucknow. Budget is about 16-17l. I have no clue whether to go for an SUV or sedan. Pls help with car recommendations.

Amateur car driver here. I was thinking of buying used cars. But the way second-hand cars are priced makes me question the whole logic of buying them. Budget: Upto INR 6.5L Usage: Mostly City, 15kms + Outstation on Weekends PS: We also have a car lease policy in the company. So I guess I can try saving some tax there.

Hello Everyone, Need some guidance as to buy a new or old car. To give some context regarding my dilemma: I don't have any experience whatsoever in cars. But I keep reading blogs/articles from TeamBHP and watch couple of YouTube channels just to keep in touch with what's happening in the world of cars/Automobiles. Backstory: During corona, my mother insisted me to buy a second hand car as I was staying at home and we could visit nearby religious places. I kept searching in my hometown(Manually + olx) but could not get a proper car at decent price. So I just dropped it. And while having some conversations with my mother, I yelled at her(I feel VERY 😞 BAD) saying I will never buy a car, as it is a liability. She left it at that. Then restrictions cleared and I had to go back to office. Current Day My mother works as a school teacher and she will be retiring this October. So I'm thinking to give her a car(Either Second hand or First hand) as her retirement gift 😊. I don't know whether to go for a new one or used one, as I myself don't know driving. I have just been to driving classes(That too in 2020) and don't have confidence to drive in Bangalore. I'm thinking to keep the car in my hometown and keep a driver for taking my parents to wherever they want to visit. Plus whenever I come back here, I can learn driving. Plus me and wife can take it for long drives back to Bangalore and keep it for couple of months for taking it out on weekends(For learning driving). Currently this is what I'm thinking: For new one: Budget is upto 10Lakhs(On road) For used one: Preferably less than 5 Lakhs. That is, If I get a good deal. Should I go for a new one or old used one? Kindly help me in deciding 🙏

I want to buy a second hand hatchback. This will be my first car and I’ve zeroed in on Tata or Hyundai models. Will most likely use Spinny to buy the car. What should I lookout for when making a decision? I already plan to get the newest model available in my budget (6 lakhs).

I’m looking to explore some car rental subscriptions before purchasing a car. Any recommendations / reviews on the platforms providing the subscriptions? Also, is it worth going this route? I primarily want to try driving a car for some time and getting a good hold of it in the traffic etc before buying. 1st time driver and did driving class twice.

Hii, Scooty or bike - any reseller suggestions or someone who might wanna sell theirs? Location nearer to Whitefield would be better. Thanks

Going through Olx and Facebook marketplaces, I have seen a lot of second hand products which are way too expensive and not at all marked according to depreciation rates. 10 year old well driven cars are selling at 50-60% of their original price, Flats are supposed to depreciate but do not (even the old ones). Any thoughts about it?

I’m looking to buy a used car in range of 4-6L, are there any offline places in Gurgaon which you have tried or how was your experience with the online channels like Spinny, Cars24 etc.
