Update: The car has been sold (advance taken). I was to go and see this first thing tomorrow morning… 😔 Maybe something better will come by… Thank you all for your valuable contribution and advice. It’ll really help me at least next time!

No one comes late to a party on AL 😄. Really appreciate your comments and advice. It does seem to be a rare opportunity, however the seller has been trying to sell for quite some time. From what I heard, the “market” doesn’t appreciate the 1.6 as much as the 1.3. I called the seller up after a month, and the car was still there. Is this a problem? Also, Yes, I was referring to the GP5. Also, I’ve heard various reports that the DCT on the GP5 is not faulty, but the way we drive and maintain it is the case. Any thoughts on this? Is there a particular way that these are to be done?

Thank you so much once again @iRage! This really gives an insight on what I’m to look out for, not only in this situation, but in any other situations as well. Will surely update on the progress.

Makes an even better case to get a car check done. I’ll anyway be taking one of my more car-savvy friends along to get an initial idea, and move on to a more detailed inspection if the current owner is ok for that.

Yes, this is an actual Champion Yellow ZC32S with a 1600cc engine. I am yet to go and see this personally, and when I do, if it looks good, will be definitely going for a Car Checks report. If you don’t mind me asking, would you be able to advise on any quick tell-tale signs that would suggest the car has been hacked? As for the Vitz, somehow, the looks don’t appeal to me as much as the Swift does. But, I have to admit the ease of reselling and the value would definitely hold in the SL market rather than the Swift.

@matroska , @AVANTE, @iRage, @Gummybr I have been looking at the ZC32s to be able to replace my ‘15 Suzuki Stingray as a daily driver. Given that I have to rev it to get away from the flashing, horning traffic behind me, it doesn’t do as much fuel as expected, roughly 12-14 kmpl (15 on a good day). The ZC32s that I came across have auto transmissions (appeals to me coz Wife can drive in an emergency) with a fairly low mileage (approx. 68K & maintained at A*W) as well (but asking for around 6.5mil), and i was contemplating this since I need a bigger vehicle to cope up with a new addition to the family. I'm not too fond of the Vitz (too mainstream) and the Fit (countless DCT issues, I’ve heard) and the new Swift RS (way off my budget). I love how the ZC32 looks and drives (according to YouTube reviews) and I’ve heard that a realistic fuel economy is around 11-12, which I can live with honestly. TL;DR, looking to replace my Stingray with a ZC32 Appreciate your opinions or advice on the above. Sorry for piggybacking on your question @Duan27😬
