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.
Yes used car makes sense especially because you are an amateur driver. Haath saaf kar lo, and maybe you will have a good perspective and outlook on the kind of (new) car you want to buy next. Beware of the car lease policy - if you don’t stay with the company for the duration of the lease then you end up paying more than the actual cost of the car. All kids of cars (and in fact everything you consume) has become crazy expensive after COVID, so you will have to just suck it up. I would say go for it. Check out Spinny, they generally have good deals

I heard that phrase after a long time - Haath saaf kar lo 😅
Definitely yes. At the end it a hardware or a machine.
Imo don't buy second hand vehicle. You will regret it later. Buy first hand vehicle only to prevent future engine issues. No one knows how previous owner maintained it. Increase your budget slightly and take new car.
A used car makes sense in all cases. - amateur or expert. For amateurs buy anything that fits in the budget and current need. For later buy a less than 1 year old car from a genuine seller (people keep relocating) and save few lakhs easily.
Verify engine, parts and all, but usually it is a decent idea.
Also older cars over new "smart" data stealers any day.
I have just shifted from Bengaluru to Gurgaon for a new opportunity. Apart from all the cultural differences, the biggest thing I have noticed in Delhi-NCR is the huge presence of 4 wheelers on roads.

Recently I came across a report in ToI that said earning 80 K per month puts you at top 4% in India. Assuming that the stats is true, do you feel contended with what you earn?
