My budget is around Rs 3 lakh, and I am looking for a family hatchback primarily for city commuting, for a family of four. Most of the options I am finding have been driven over 1,00,000 km and are usually second or third owner cars. My preference is for a Hyundai Eon or i10, but I am not getting a good deal. What should I ideally check while buying? Also, the car should be registered in 2016 or later.

    You can check out the pre-owned cars at Spinny. For your Rs 3 lakh budget, you should find models like a Renault Kwid and Maruti Suzuki Celerio that would meet your mileage and 'build year' criteria.
    You could also consider looking at older cars, as these are all checked and tested and come with a warranty. Moreover, while they may be older in age, you should be able to find a Hyundai Eon or i10 with lower mileage and a single-owner driven.
    Also, remember that when buying used, it all dependent on stock, which changes almost daily, so wait a while and keep checking for cars until you find the one that you are happy with.
