Thanks brother. We will definitely try to do that!

I own a skoda rapid 1.6 tdi. 🔥

Same thing used to happen in my Tiago JTP as well. Noticed sometimes in i20 as well. Could be an industry problem rather than a Skoda/VW problem.

Get the disc pad grinded.

Hi brother, thank you so much for the appreciation! 8 Lakhs is on the higher side, considering Ambition model. If it was Style maybe you could have considered it. If the car is in great condition it should not go over 7 lakhs. Consider my car for an example - 2019 Style Diesel 1.5 DSG with minor scratches and no dents, 68k kms rum (bought it in 2022 when it was 3 years old) at 8.75 lakhs. So Ambition model from 2019 (even with 34k km) will not get valued at 8 lakhs.

Haven't faced any such issue, atleast till now!

The best experience from a Rapid is either in 1.0 TSI manual or 1.5 TDI DSG (Style AT) To get a decent model which won’t be prone to issues I would suggest to wait for a while and add to your budget 🙂 You can be on the lookout for a 3-4 year old Rapid Rider 1.0 TSI, they’re always selling at good prices, around 7-8 lakhs max. You might be able to grab one at around 6, if you can that would be an awesome deal!

@@TractionControl That make lot of sense, thank you for writing back 😊

You're most welcome😄

Hi brother please reply fast, skoda rapid 2017 81KW TDI(style M) diesel which ran 230000 selling for 5.70L, what's your opinion on it? Usually how many kms can we expect from skoda rapid diesel engines?

3.8 is a really good price, just make sure there are no ongoing mechanical issues. Check the previous service records.

That's like 9 years old, something around 3.5-4 would be a good price. 4.5 is a little on the higher side. Regular Maintenance is same as any other car but parts replacement is one of the most expensive. Definitely get it checked at Skoda centre before making any decision

Thanks! 😀 From a Cartrade Franchise in New Delhi. You can ping me on Insta @Supersid01 for any further details

Hi brother. Thank you for the appreciation! DSG, specially the DQ200 is infamous for it's reliability in Indian weather. When I test drove the Rapid, I loved the gearbox so much that I decided to take that gamble, there's nothing like it in this price bracket. It's miles ahead of any other automatic gearbox. It's been 2 years with the car and it has been a smooth ride till now. It was 3 years old with 69k kms when I purchased it and the two clutches were replaced in it's last service after which it was placed on sale, so the last owner did face an issue (but he could have exploited the car, who knows?) Mandatory to check: 1. Nuts and bolts under the hood, match the color of the car 2. Get the car to a VW/Skoda authorised SC and get it inspected for chassis damage, odo tampering, parts that may need replacement and to check all electricals are working fine. 3. The most important thing is to make sure that the car is not a re-built total loss car, this can also be checked at the service center, they will have the records (as per the chassis number) 4. Thoroughly go through the service records to make sure tha the car was serviced at regular intervals. 5. Thoroughly go through the insurance claims as well. Feel free to reach out to me on Insta @supersid01 or @Traction01 if you have any other questions.

For a 2018 Vento/Rapid DSG anywhere around 7 lakhs would be a good price depending on the condition of the car.

@@TractionControl OMG bro! That was one fast reply! Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful reply! Your insights into the DSG, particularly the DQ200, are incredibly helpful. I completely agree-there's nothing quite like this gearbox in its price range, and your experience reassures me about my decision to take the plunge with the Rapid/Vento.The only reason why I still have my suspicions about it is because of the Mechatronic Failure which my friend had faced in his Octavia MK 3.5 1.8 TSI. That was purely a highway office commute vehicle, but still the gearbox failed. I still want to take a gamble at it after reading your reply because the price/fun ratio is very good. I appreciate your checklist; it's a great guide for anyone considering a used car purchase. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and offering further assistance. You've definitely earned a new subscriber here!

@@Speedspeed2403 my pleasure brother! 🤩 Mechatronic failure is a common issue when you compare all types of automatics, but just within the DSGs you're simply unlucky if it fails for you. I'm not saying that it's a rare occurrence, but if there's a mechatronic failure for every 2/10 owners, I'd take those chances 😀 Also, if you can get some kind of Extended warranty that would be great - some re-sellers offer EW on their brand name. (I got it extended by 2 years over the original 4 years at a cost of 35k and made sure that the gearbox is covered in that EW)

The diesel engines 1.5 and 1.9 TDI are pretty reliable 👌 However, a 6 year old car that too with 2,30,000 on the odo, for 5.7L is not a good deal. I say this because the service and maintenance cost will be high for a rapid which has run over 2L kms! You would need parts replacement every now and then and it would increase your cost of ownership!

@@TractionControl thank you 🤝

Which city are you in?

@@gopim6124 Costly one at 7 lack , 6L is max .. I am planning for 2016 TDI DSG 110K run for 4.5L - 1st owner > after 1.3L run thee may be issue with DSG unit , may cost us 1.5L for replacement . going to check for detailed service history today at skoda service center and get estimation of near future replacement/service cost ...

There was 1.6 MPI, there wasn’t a 1.5 TSI back in 2017. So FYI, the 1.6 MPI is a fuel guzzling engine, fun to rev and enjoy but don’t expect good fuel economy out of it. Price is good for a 6 year old car. Make sure to get it checked out at an authorised Skoda service centre before making any final decision.

Depends on the condition of the car. My personal opinion says that it's a little too expensive. It's 7 years old with 77k km driven, should not be more than 7 lakhs. My Rapid was 67k km driven, 3 year old, Style AT and cost 8.75 lakhs, so accordingly a similar 7 year old car should not be more than 7 lakhs.

The cost is too high brother. It's a 7 year old Rapid, should not cost over 6 lakhs. The 1.6 MPI is a fuel guzzler, do not expect fuel economy over 12-13 kmpl. I would suggest to look for a 1.0 TSI Rapid Rider which would be in almost the same price bucket, it has better power specs and it is much more fuel efficient.

Thank you so much for your guidance bro ❤ Really appreciate your patience!!

@@srientertainments4909 No worries brother!

Brother running to kafi kam hai, it is value for money. Ek bar Service history check karo puri aur Skoda Service center se Odometer check karvao ki 36K km ki reading sahi hai ya chedi gayi hai. Sab thik nikle to worth hai, go for it.

The deal seems to be good! 👍 Get the car thoroughly checked at Skoda Service Center to make sure there are no parts that require replacement. As Skoda parts are pretty expensive make sure it's within the limits of your pockets, example being - Headlights alone cost around 45K!

Thanks brother. Got it for 8.7 Lakhs.

Hi, it is a good deal brother, but it also depends on the car's condition and the variant. Please make sure that the odometer has not been tampered with, take the car to an authorised Skoda SC to get it checked.

The price is too high for a second owner + 8 year old diesel + 1.2L km driven!!

First of all beware of any parts needing replacement, that will be a big expense, it could potentially burn holes in your pocket. Make sure to get the car checked at an authorized Skoda Service Center. Optimal price should be around 4-4.5L. An 8 year old Skoda Diesel that too 1.2L km driven does not deserve anywhere more than 4.5L PS - Consider this car only if you seriously love to drive

Hi Atif, I have responded to your query on your previous comment. 😀 If you have any further questions feel free to reach out to me on Instagram @supersid01

8 lakhs is a little too much for 4 year old Ambition variant. If the car is in good condition and no parts need replacement then go for it, but try to get the price down to 7-7.5 I would highly recommend to get the car checked at a Skoda Service Center and if the owner/ dealer denies to get it checked, then you know for sure that something is wrong with the car.

​@@TractionControlsir how much skoda centre charge for checking used car

@@iiiiiiiiiiii6969 usually around 2-2.5K

Yes, but 1.6 is not easily available now

Keep scanning apps like CarTrade, Cars24, Spinny and OLX Autos once a week. Keep shortlisting, get in touch with the seller and take a Test drive. Cheers!

It's not an amazing deal, 4.25 lakh is on the higher side for an 8 year old Rapid, also considering It's the Active variant. Anything less than 4 would be a good deal. If your heart is set on the car, make sure to get it thoroughly evaluated at an authorised Skoda service centre.

@@TractionControl no I got a 2016 hyundai i20 diesel instead..the missing torque is compensated with 24kmpl mileage ❤❤

@@eZi0554 good choice! Hyundai make a good diesel engine!

The price is good. Just make sure that the car doesn't need any parts to be replaced, don't trust the dealer they will say anything to make the sale. Take the car to a Skoda service center and get it checked, they charge around 2-3K but it's worth it. If you can get the car at anything less than 6 lakhs it will be a good deal.

If you're asking for actual mileage it's 74000km. If you mean fuel economy, it's 13-14Kmpl in city traffic. 20-27kmpl on the highway depending on how you drive 😄

6.30 is a little too much for a 7 year old Rapid. Try to get the price Lowered to below 6 Lakhs. Also, check the service records and make sure DSG has been flawless.

It's 6 years old, so clearly out of warranty, you should be careful. So, steering in VAG cars are generally stiffer (should not be a concern) however, you will feel this only if you haven't driven a VW/Skoda before. If you have driven old VW/Skoda's and you still feel that the steering is stiff, then you should get it checked out at the service centre. To your next point, Skoda Diesel is very noisy at idle and high rpms, otherwise it's smooth. But again, is the noise something out of the ordinary? In any case, you should most definitely get an inspection done at the service centre, they will charge a nominal fee. This will give you peace of mind. Price wise it's a good deal, you can maybe negotiate and get it down to 6.5 that would be better!

you will get it at 5.5 to 6 lack do some search ...

Pls reply as soon as you can

It's also 2019

@@artemisgamingyt4379 Yes, 9.75 is quite high considering diesel is being phased out. Negotiate saying "The price is too high for a diesel car" and try to get it evaluated at a nearby Skoda Service centre or simply arrange a Spinny / Cars 24 guy to do a free 0 cost inspection and they'll tell you the fair price😄 Somewhere around 8-8.25 would be a good deal.

@@artemisgamingyt4379 Mine is 2019 as well and it was 59K Km run

@@TractionControl I negotiated he agreed on 9 lakhs I thing it can go more low but idk he agreed to negotiate so quickly that now I have doubts what price would be good enough for the specs I told you I mean I saw your video I loved the car is 9 good or should I negotiate more sorry for long paras but wanted a good persons opinion who has knowledge about this 👍🏼

Soon bro

Would not suggest to spend your money on a 9 year old Rapid. The parts replacement cost could burn holes in your pocket. The 1.6 MPI is a fuel guzzler, do not expect fuel economy or even great performance (sounds amazing though and can be tuned for better performance) So go for it only if you can keep up with high parts replacement cost and low fuel economy, i.e. you have loads of backup money😀

@@TractionControl Thank you for your advice

7,80,000 KM driven is a lot. 6.51 lakhs is too much for a Skoda driven for sooo long! Which year model is it? Also, are you 100% sure it's 7,80,000 and not 78,000? 😅

Originally around 14 Lakhs, got it for 8.7 (2019 model)

Thoda sa unfair ho gaya nahi?

It will be fun

Price is too high, car is over 6 years old and on 2nd owner. Doesn't deserve anywhere over 6 lakhs. When I bought mine (2019 Style DSG 1st owner) in 2022 it was 3 years old and I paid 8.7 Lakhs for it. Depreciating for 2 more years brings it down to 6.5 easily and then add a second owner brings it down to less than 6 lakhs easily!

Thanks for your reply

8.7 Lakhs

That’s awesome bhai!
