Try to avoid open papers. It's risky. But this might be because all u contacted were brokers. But u better avoid it. By the way, the you should be able to buy 2006 Maruti for 6-6.5 lacs. If u gonna pay more than this, my advice is, yes go for brand new. After this TAX reduction, a person I know sold his 2006 Maruti for this amount. His unfortunate, he was to sell the car before even no one knew there would be a tax reduction. But he was too late so that he lost couple of lacs
